Mise does similar, but for a while suite of tools instead of just nodejs.

Will check it out, thanks!

I figured it was more

  if (areEyesDetectingMotion != isBodyDetectingMotion) vomit()

If it was just eyes and ears it doesn't seem like VR motion sickness would be such a thing.

I don’t follow. Are you under the misapprehension that ears was referring to auditory perception, rather than vestibular sense of motion?

Yes! I managed to miss the whole vestibular system mention and focused on the code.

I suppose you could design an experiment that mucked with proprioception but not the vestibular system. Count me out as a test subject.

There's a company that supposedly created a device that mucks with your vestibular system to combat vertigo.

This site has been up for several years though with no product being released, so I'm starting to question if it actually worked.

Love KDE. Very excited for Union. All these videos and demos are great.

Except for the "Faster virtual desktop switching in the Overview" one. 2 fps animations, no voiceover, no text overlay, just a person pressing control (or maybe not?) and the arrow keys.

How many 90s computer components went up in price a couple of years after release?

A long long time ago I wrote something for the company I was with to allow for pre-merge staging environments (preview environments but I didn't have a name for them then)

Used docker-compose + git for application servers, and docker-compose + sync for static sites.

Actually worked pretty well! There's bound to be better options nowadays.

Taxi medallions aren't a thing in lots of cities that have taxis. All Uber did was outpace regulations in many cities.

Yeah, offering an alternative free of terrible rentseeking regulation

I wonder how the economics comapre to the prior state, with people buying $800,000 permits from the state, or multiple drivers taking 12 hour shifts driving the same car rented from the permit holder.

Not all places with taxis required a near-million permit either.

Never thought I'd see "think of the children" as an excuse to requiring billionaires but HN will always find a way to surprise you.

Note this is cut to just before the model responds, so not a great way for people to judge the real-time feel of this.

Plus a followup one where you see me type the question in and press enter (though that video is with Qwen 3.6, not Gemma 4) https://x.com/Freerunnering/status/2065354101878055038

Not sure you really need huggingface-cli to download anything if you're just using llama.cpp. You can pass `-hf ...` and it will download the models for you. Set `LLAMA_CACHE` to change where the downloads go:

  LLAMA_CACHE="models" ./llama-server \
    -hf unsloth/gemma-4-31B-it-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL \
    ...

Yes.

-hfd for the draft model.

Nice, was wondering if there was a flag for the draft as well.

Not knocking huggingface-cli, just find it's much easier for people to try out this stuff when they can just

  mise use --global github:ggml-org/llama.cpp
  LLAMA_CACHE="models" llama-server \
    -hf unsloth/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 11434 \
    ...

  —no-mmproj 

is also pretty useful if you're doing this just to try agentic coding and you're not processing images/voice. Stops it downloading the multimodal projector.

Mise has many backends. A lot comes from Aqua / asdf, but there's others like GitHub, npm, cargo, http, etc.

It's all fairly well documented here: https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/backends/
