Reading at herbsutter.com/2025/11/10/t... we learn that EDG C++ frontend will be opensourced next year!
Screenshot containing the following text: "During the meeting, John Spicer (who has long chaired our whole-committee plenary sessions, and leads Edison Design Group, EDG) also hosted a lovely reception for the whole committee. The reception was to celebrate the occasion of the new leadership changes, but also that John too is stepping back from chairing the U.S. C++ committee and running our WG 21 plenary sessions. John is one of the C++ committee’s longest-serving members since the early 1990s, and his company EDG has been a leading producer of compilers for C++ and other languages. John recently announced that, after a successful and storied career, it’s time for EDG to wind down, and EDG plans to open-source its world-class C++ compiler front-end within the next year. And so I want to especially call out and congratulate John Spicer and everyone at EDG (including EDG’s retired founder Steve Adamczyk, other key"

Got my #Bosgame #M5 "Strix Halo" computer. Now I can test #llama.qtcreator on a Windows / Linux PC.

I will also play the 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘑𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘭𝘦 game, since it won't run on any Apple Silicon computer.

I'm trying to justify the money invested into this AI bubble 😅

Hey @microsoft.com can you guys make better software than Apple?

The update of Microsoft Edge on macOS introduced the FAT scrollbars found on macOS 26, but also when running on previous macOS version.

Just stumbled upon some invented AI story on LinkedIn.

"German startup Heimstern’s WarmBed Backpack folds from 15 kg of recycled, fire-resistant fabric into a fully insulated, solar-powered sleeping pod."

The first give away was the image. Then the fact that the comments were disabled.

Fictive Story below: "A single backpack just rewrote the rules of survival and sustainability. German startup Heimstern’s WarmBed Backpack folds from 15 kg of recycled, fire-resistant fabric into a fully insulated, solar-powered sleeping pod. Flexible panels on the roof harvest 60 W daily, charging a 10,000 mAh battery that delivers 8 hours of radiant heat, LED light, and USB power. Temperature range: -20 °C to +40 °C. Lifespan: 5+ years. End-of-life: 97 % recyclable. This isn’t charity gear; it’s a closed-loop product. Every unit diverts 8 kg of ocean-bound plastic, uses zero virgin PET, and returns to Heimstern’s take-back program for remanufacture. Distributed at €299 (subsidized to €99 for NGOs), 500 pods already shield Berlin’s rough sleepers while cutting municipal hypothermia costs by €4,200 per person annually. Circular economy in action: waste becomes shelter, sunlight becomes dignity, and every night saved funds the next batch. In 2025, with 700,000 Europeans homeless, this backpack proves profit and purpose can sleep in the same bed. hashtag#CircularEconomy hashtag#SustainableDesign hashtag#SocialImpact hashtag#SolarInnovation hashtag#Homelessness hashtag#ImpactInvesting hashtag#GreenTech" Websearch after "German Startup Heimstern's WarmBed Backpack Berlin"

Nope. Is smart enough to ban this, but not smart enough not to transform an animation into one frame.

Qt Creator until today has lacked a spell checker. A spell checker for your git commits.

Now you can use 𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚖𝚊.𝚚𝚝𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 to fix that broken commit message!

Here is 𝚐𝚙𝚝-𝚘𝚜𝚜 𝟸𝟶𝚋 doing just that for me.

I've got 𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚖𝚊.𝚚𝚝𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 at the point where it starts to be useful as a chat application for developers.

I can see highlighted code and have a "Save" button that would save a file in my project for easy testing! No more copy pasting!

Also Dark mode is supported now.

I've ported #ggerganov 's llama.vim to Qt Creator at github.com/cristianadam... 🎉

I used Qwen 3 to to the initial port, then went and tested the functions one by one. It looks like it's working. I haven't wrote tests though.

Translations of the settings strings were done by Mistral Small 3.2.

Comedy Central Germany aired the episode on cable tv on 1st of August 2025 starting with 22:10.
"The image appears to be a screenshot from a TV show or animated series. It depicts two characters in a bedroom setting. One character is a muscular, red-skinned figure with horns, yellow eyes, and a goatee, lying on a bed with arms crossed. The other character is an older man with white hair, also lying in bed, smiling and appearing relaxed. The room has a cozy atmosphere with pink-lamp shaded bedside tables, red curtains, and a framed picture on the wall behind the bed. The text on the image is in German, saying "Was? Hey, entspann dich," which translates to "What? Hey, relax." The logo in the top left corner suggests that this is from a show aired on Comedy Central. The scene seems to be humorous, likely intended to provoke laughter from the audience." Described by the AI model: unsloth/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506-GGUF:UD-Q6_K_XL

I guess Microsoft is trying to get back some money from the billions of dollars they poured in the AI bubble.

... and later ask for higher subscriptions, since now you are depending on AI for your work.

Today I've configured "Open WebUI" to work with "Mistral Small 3.2".

I was impressed with the image to text capabilities. The "Web Search" and "Code Interpreter" tools are also very useful.

Now there are no more issues with counting the "r's" in Strawberry! 🍓

Got the chance to revisit my Argon 40 EON @raspberrypi.com NAS solution.

I've replaced the factory covers with PVC dust mesh filter PC case with magnetic frames, and the factory fan with a Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX.

Now the NAS is dead quiet when idling, and on load a bit louder. 😌
