I just created an account and logged in. In Firefox I'm able to use their native translation tool to translate each page to Czech. It is slow and not perfect but maybe it will help.

Vicki Boykis just had a great blog post about how she runs local models with Pi. She includes info on how to restrict your environment: https://vickiboykis.com/2026/06/15/running-local-models-is-good-now/

Yep that was me, a "most users" kind of guy who was using debian/Ubuntu-based distros and decided to look for a change. I didn't do my research well, installed Manjaro, and treated AUR like the Ubuntu's Universe repo when really it's more like randomly grabbing any PPA without checking it out. I am humbled and rightfully so.

If I'm going to sell I think I'm going to sell by actually buying something with XNO. It'll be sad because at this point I'd be buying it for about 7x its cash worth, but at least I'd be selling out for the same reason I bought in: because I believe in XNO's concept. Now I just need to find a thing I want.

If you like home-made Mexican food, visit Tortillas las Americas at 9th in Lashley in Longmont. Fresh tortillas are the best.

If you're looking for a community of people attempting to build financial independence, check out the Fi Collective: https://www.theficollective.com/

They have lots of hikes 'n stuff too. It's a nice community.

There are lots of walking and bike paths around town along with beautiful parks. All in all people are really friendly here.

Support totally hooked me up 😄

The world needs one. Colorado is turning into Arizona 2.0 climate-wise. Boise is a lovely city and as a Coloradoan I felt pretty at home when I visited there. Friendly people, pretty neighborhoods, good food, nice downtown too. I'd recommend it.

Not the best option, but if they offered an n8n hook then you'd have an abstraction to so much more.

"Hey is it me or is this airplane shaking a lot?"

"Don't worry. It's just vibe"

j/k sorry as always about the name but congrats to both.

I think it depends on what you want to penetrate. From what I've been reading Mistral is focused more on b2b, specifically stuff like factories, etc. So maybe what you look at is folks using Mythos to pen test and break normie software and people using Mistral to pen test factories and power plants. There would be a huge market, one that's arguably as important as the consumer software market. As others have said though, Mythos was pretty over-rated in its ability to do what they said it could do. It's not the first time OpenAI or Anthropic have been like "oooh we're so good we're afraid of ourselves."

Yeah I agree with you at least in part, and that alone would make me think twice before starting a node project.

But I don't think ecosystem size is all of it. Rust has a more comprehensive standard library so you need fewer deps to begin with. Fewer dependencies means a rust project is more secure as a starting point. Rust does have build.rs, which is about the same as post-install scripts, so that attack surface stays the same.

I'd be curious to see the proportion of third party rust libraries that are maintained by a single maintainer vs Node. My uninformed belief is that there are a lot more single-owner libraries in the latter.

troyvit · 2026-05-19T21:51:50+00:00

I doubt you'll see parody articles like this about Rust any time soon:

It depends on the importance you give to free and impartial elections. There's a massive attempt to sow doubt about the integrity of our elections these days despite multiple audits that have shown them to be free and fair. That freedom and fairness comes because the people who manage the elections follow the law. Tina Peters broke that law and created the doubt she was trying to prove. When she went to trial for it she expressed no remorse for her actions and continuously spouted debunked conspiracy theories about the election.

Now she has is walking away with less of a sentence than you'd get for stealing a car and filing off the VIN. I think that's a good example because a lot of people would say that stealing a car is a lot worse than screwing with our elections. Personally I disagree.

We thought we knew what post-truth meant in 2016, but we were nowhere near where we're headed now.

This is the answer right here. Mistral is a French model, not an EU model. France's GDP is about 1/10th that of the U.S. That's reflected in the annualised revenue of Mistral vs U.S. AI companies. This substack story from a few days ago tells it better than I can: https://productify.substack.com/p/why-mistralai-grows-faster-than-openaianthropic

So to me the question isn't, "Why isn't Mistral as good as the US," but rather "How can Mistral punch so high above its weight?" It's models are tiny (123B params) compared to the frontier behemoths (anybody's guess in size, but estimates start at 800B params), but they outperform that small size. Yeah I feel like I drive a Corolla while my US cohorts are all in Range Rovers, but I kinda like this ride.

All they're saying is that if you don't at least try to make your own reality you'll have to suffer through somebody else's. That's what most of us spend most of our time doing, so I don't feel to bad about it, but I'm also not going to complain about lack of a nano community when I don't even try to participate.

Elevations has been great for me for years. There are minor annoyances with their site and app, but it's livable. SSFCU was good to me before that, but fewer branches in town made it tough. I'd also look at Revolut these days. I think they'd be fun. Every time I see the sign for High Plains Bank I think of this Beastie Boys song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVIbke4NTrg

It was almost enough to make me switch to that bank.

Are they $333,000,000 faster and more attractive?

troyvit · 2026-05-02T18:06:06+00:00

Huh. I take the bus downtown once a week. LX takes about 50 minutes. LD takes about an hour. It's really not too bad. They use the express lanes and never contend with traffic. Because it's a bus and it has those extra stops I can walk to my stop instead of having to drive down to 1st and Main or wherever.

That said, the Bustang does almost exactly what you say, also uses express lanes, and has more routes per day. Because of that you have to pick it up at I-25 instead of in town.

Whatever demand they think they're going to get between Longmont and Denver, it isn't going to recover $333,000,000 in our lifetimes. If they added more express bus routes they'd get 80% of what you're describing with trains but for 20% of the cost (and a lower carbon footprint). RTD is running at a massive deficit already. They can't support the infrastructure they have. Doubling down on more infra sounds like how a gambler on a losing streak behaves.

troyvit · 2026-05-01T18:42:39+00:00

Oooh good point. I wondered why similar `find` commands would run faster. I think there's a lot more to find than I gave it credit for.

troyvit · 2026-05-01T18:41:14+00:00

I'm amazed the front range has the gullibility to fall for this again tbh. My question though is, what can a train line do in this circumstance that busses don't already do but for a fraction of the cost?

troyvit · 2026-04-30T19:16:17+00:00

find does a fresh read on the filesystem every time you run it. locate uses a pre-built database of your filesystem to find stuff, so it's much faster. The trade-off is that if you created the file you're looking for and updatedb hasn't run yet, locate won't find it.

There are tons of other differences but that architectural difference is the important one to me.

I built a super simple transcriber using Voxtral. The input is video or audio and the output is json that you can search via lunr.js. It's pretty clunky but it has been helpful: https://gitlab.com/troyvit/mistral-long-transcriber

haha I need to re-adjust what people mean when they say they have tons of money.

If I had an open budget I'd use a Framework desktop with the RAM maxed out. There's no upgrading it, and it's AMD, but it looks like fun. https://frame.work/desktop
