🔗 r/wiesbaden Ramen Innenstadtnähe rss
Hallo zusammen,
Ich bin letzten Monat nach Wiesbaden gezogen und suche momentan noch einen guten Ramen-Laden am Besten in der Innenstadt. Ich habe bisher 1-2 ausprobiert, aber war noch nicht wirklich begeistert.
Habt ihr Empfehlungen?
Bonuspunkte, wenn man sich am Anfang selbst die Zutaten individuell auswählen kann anstatt nur vorgefertigter Menüs.
Danke euch!

🔗 Anton Zhiyanov Porting Go's io package to C rss
Creating a subset of Go that translates to C was never my end goal. I liked writing C code with Go, but without the standard library it felt pretty limited. So, the next logical step was to port Go's stdlib to C.
Of course, this isn't something I could do all at once. So I started with the standard library packages that had the fewest dependencies, and one of them was the
iopackage. This post is about how that went.io package • Slices • Multiple returns • Errors • Interfaces • Type assertion • Specialized readers • Copy • Wrapping up
The io package
iois one of the core Go packages. It introduces the concepts of readers and writers , which are also common in other programming languages.In Go, a reader is anything that can read some raw data (bytes) from a source into a slice:
type Reader interface { Read(p []byte) (n int, err error) }A writer is anything that can take some raw data from a slice and write it to a destination:
type Writer interface { Write(p []byte) (n int, err error) }The
iopackage defines many other interfaces, likeSeekerandCloser, as well as combinations likeReadWriterandWriteCloser. It also provides several functions, the most well-known beingCopy, which copies all data from a source (represented by a reader) to a destination (represented by a writer):func Copy(dst Writer, src Reader) (written int64, err error)C, of course, doesn't have interfaces. But before I get into that, I had to make several other design decisions.
Slices
In general, a slice is a linear container that holds N elements of type T. Typically, a slice is a view of some underlying data. In Go, a slice consists of a pointer to a block of allocated memory, a length (the number of elements in the slice), and a capacity (the total number of elements that can fit in the backing memory before the runtime needs to re-allocate):
type slice struct { array unsafe.Pointer len int cap int }Interfaces in the
iopackage work with fixed-length slices (readers and writers should never append to a slice), and they only use byte slices. So, the simplest way to represent this in C could be:typedef struct { uint8_t* ptr; size_t len; } Bytes;But since I needed a general-purpose slice type, I decided to do it the Go way instead:
typedef struct { void* ptr; size_t len; size_t cap; } so_Slice;Plus a bound-checking helper to access slice elements:
#define so_at(T, s, i) (*so_at_ptr(T, s, i)) #define so_at_ptr(T, s, i) ({ \ so_Slice _s_at = (s); \ size_t _i = (size_t)(i); \ if (_i >= _s_at.len) \ so_panic("index out of bounds"); \ (T*)_s_at.ptr + _i; \ })Usage example:
// go nums := make([]int, 3) nums[0] = 11 nums[1] = 22 nums[2] = 33 n1 := nums[1] // c so_Slice nums = so_make_slice(int, 3, 3); so_at(int, nums, 0) = 11; so_at(int, nums, 1) = 22; so_at(int, nums, 2) = 33; so_int n1 = so_at(int, nums, 1);So far, so good.
Multiple returns
Let's look at the
Readmethod again:Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)It returns two values: an
intand anerror. C functions can only return one value, so I needed to figure out how to handle this.The classic approach would be to pass output parameters by pointer, like
read(p, &n, &err)orn = read(p, &err). But that doesn't compose well and looks nothing like Go. Instead, I went with a result struct:typedef union { bool as_bool; so_int as_int; int64_t as_i64; so_String as_string; so_Slice as_slice; void* as_ptr; // ... other types } so_Value; typedef struct { so_Value val; so_Error err; } so_Result;The
so_Valueunion can store any primitive type, as well as strings, slices, and pointers. Theso_Resulttype combines a value with an error. So, ourReadmethod (let's assume it's just a regular function for now):func Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)Translates to:
so_Result Read(so_Slice p);And the caller can access the result like this:
so_Result res = Read(p); if (res.err) { so_panic(res.err->msg); } so_println("read", res.val.as_int, "bytes");Errors
For the error type itself, I went with a simple pointer to an immutable string:
struct so_Error_ { const char* msg; }; typedef struct so_Error_* so_Error;Plus a constructor macro:
#define errors_New(s) (&(struct so_Error_){s})I wanted to avoid heap allocations as much as possible, so decided not to support dynamic errors. Only sentinel errors are used, and they're defined at the file level like this:
so_Error io_EOF = errors_New("EOF"); so_Error io_ErrOffset = errors_New("io: invalid offset");Errors are compared by pointer identity (
==), not by string content — just like sentinel errors in Go. Anilerror is aNULLpointer. This keeps error handling cheap and straightforward.Interfaces
This was the big one. In Go, an interface is a type that specifies a set of methods. Any concrete type that implements those methods satisfies the interface — no explicit declaration needed. In C, there's no such mechanism.
For interfaces, I decided to use "fat" structs with function pointers. That way, Go's
io.Reader:type Reader interface { Read(p []byte) (n int, err error) }Becomes an
io_Readerstruct in C:typedef struct { void* self; so_Result (*Read)(void* self, so_Slice p); } io_Reader;The
selfpointer holds the concrete value, and each method becomes a function pointer that takesselfas its first argument. This is less efficient than using a static method table, especially if the interface has a lot of methods, but it's simpler. So I decided it was good enough for the first version.Now functions can work with interfaces without knowing the specific implementation:
// ReadFull reads exactly len(buf) bytes from r into buf. so_Result io_ReadFull(io_Reader r, so_Slice buf) { so_int n = 0; so_Error err = NULL; for (; n < so_len(buf) && err == NULL;) { so_Slice curBuf = so_slice(so_byte, buf, n, buf.len); so_Result res = r.Read(r.self, curBuf); err = res.err; n += res.val.as_int; } // ... } // A custom reader. typedef struct { so_Slice b; } reader; static so_Result reader_Read(void* self, so_Slice p) { // ... } int main(void) { // We'll read from a string literal. so_String str = so_str("hello world"); reader rdr = (reader){.b = so_string_bytes(str)}; // Wrap the specific reader into an interface. io_Reader r = (io_Reader){ .self = &rdr, .Read = reader_Read, }; // Read the first 4 bytes from the string into a buffer. so_Slice buf = so_make_slice(so_byte, 4, 4); // ReadFull doesn't care about the specific reader implementation - // it could read from a file, the network, or anything else. so_Result res = io_ReadFull(r, buf); }Calling a method on the interface just goes through the function pointer:
// r.Read(buf) becomes: r.Read(r.self, buf);Type assertion
Go's interface is more than just a value wrapper with a method table. It also stores type information about the value it holds:
type iface struct { tab *itab data unsafe.Pointer // specific value } type itab struct { Inter *InterfaceType // method table Type *Type // type information // ... }Since the runtime knows the exact type inside the interface, it can try to "upgrade" the interface (for example, a regular
Reader) to another interface (likeWriterTo) using a type assertion :// copyBuffer copies from src to dst using the provided buffer // until either EOF is reached on src or an error occurs. func copyBuffer(dst Writer, src Reader, buf []byte) (written int64, err error) { // If the reader has a WriteTo method, use it to do the copy. if wt, ok := src.(WriterTo); ok { // try "upgrading" to WriterTo return wt.WriteTo(dst) } // src is not a WriterTo, proceed with the default copy implementation.The last thing I wanted to do was reinvent Go's dynamic type system in C, so dropping this feature was an easy decision.
There's another kind of type assertion, though — when we unwrap the interface to get the value of a specific type:
// Does r (a Reader) hold a pointer to a value of concrete type LimitedReader? // If true, lr will get the unwrapped pointer. lr, ok := r.(*LimitedReader)And this kind of assertion is quite possible in C. All we have to do is compare function pointers:
// Are r.Read and LimitedReader_Read the same function? bool ok = (r.Read == LimitedReader_Read); if (ok) { io_LimitedReader* lr = r.self; }If two different types happened to share the same method implementation, this would break. In practice, each concrete type has its own methods, so the function pointer serves as a reliable type tag.
Specialized readers
After I decided on the interface approach, porting the actual
iotypes was pretty easy. For example,LimitedReaderwraps a reader and stops with EOF after reading N bytes:type LimitedReader struct { R Reader N int64 } func (l *LimitedReader) Read(p []byte) (int, error) { if l.N <= 0 { return 0, EOF } if int64(len(p)) > l.N { p = p[0:l.N] } n, err := l.R.Read(p) l.N -= int64(n) return n, err }The logic is straightforward: if there are no bytes left, return EOF. Otherwise, if the buffer is bigger than the remaining size, shorten it. Then, call the underlying reader, and decrease the remaining size.
Here's what the ported C code looks like:
typedef struct { io_Reader R; int64_t N; } io_LimitedReader; so_Result io_LimitedReader_Read(void* self, so_Slice p) { io_LimitedReader* l = self; if (l->N <= 0) { return (so_Result){.val.as_int = 0, .err = io_EOF}; } if ((int64_t)(so_len(p)) > l->N) { p = so_slice(so_byte, p, 0, l->N); } so_Result res = l->R.Read(l->R.self, p); so_int n = res.val.as_int; l->N -= (int64_t)(n); return (so_Result){.val.as_int = n, .err = res.err}; }A bit more verbose, but nothing special. The multiple return values, the interface call with
l.R.Read, and the slice handling are all implemented as described in previous sections.Copy
Copyis where everything comes together. Here's the simplified Go version:// Copy copies from src to dst until either // EOF is reached on src or an error occurs. func Copy(dst Writer, src Reader) (written int64, err error) { // Allocate a temporary buffer for copying. size := 32 * 1024 buf := make([]byte, size) // Copy from src to dst using the buffer. for { nr, er := src.Read(buf) if nr > 0 { nw, ew := dst.Write(buf[0:nr]) written += int64(nw) if ew != nil { err = ew break } } if er != nil { if er != EOF { err = er } break } } return written, err }In Go,
Copyallocates its buffer on the heap withmake([]byte, size). I could take a similar approach in C — makeCopytake an allocator and use it to create the buffer like this:so_Result io_Copy(mem_Allocator a, io_Writer dst, io_Reader src) { so_int size = 32 * 1024; so_Slice buf = mem_AllocSlice(so_byte, a, size, size); // ... }But since this is just a temporary buffer that only exists during the function call, I decided stack allocation was a better choice:
so_Result io_Copy(io_Writer dst, io_Reader src) { so_int size = 8 * 1024; so_Slice buf = so_make_slice(so_byte, size, size); // ... }so_make_sliceallocates memory on a stack with a bounds-checking macro that wraps C'salloca. It moves the stack pointer and gives you a chunk of memory that's automatically freed when the function returns.People often avoid using
allocabecause it can cause a stack overflow, but using a bounds-checking wrapper fixes this issue. Another common concern withallocais that it's not block-scoped — the memory stays allocated until the function exits. However, since we only allocate once, this isn't a problem.Here's the simplified C version of
Copy:so_Result io_Copy(io_Writer dst, io_Reader src) { so_int size = 8 * 1024; // smaller buffer, 8 KiB so_Slice buf = so_make_slice(so_byte, size, size); int64_t written = 0; so_Error err = NULL; for (;;) { so_Result resr = src.Read(src.self, buf); so_int nr = resr.val.as_int; if (nr > 0) { so_Result resw = dst.Write(dst.self, so_slice(so_byte, buf, 0, nr)); so_int nw = resw.val.as_int; written += (int64_t)(nw); if (resw.err != NULL) { err = resw.err; break; } } if (resr.err != NULL) { if (resr.err != io_EOF) { err = resr.err; } break; } } return (so_Result){.val.as_i64 = written, .err = err}; }Here, you can see all the parts from this post working together: a function accepting interfaces, slices passed to interface methods, a result type wrapping multiple return values, error sentinels compared by identity, and a stack-allocated buffer used for the copy.
Wrapping up
Porting Go's
iopackage to C meant solving a few problems: representing slices, handling multiple return values, modeling errors, and implementing interfaces using function pointers. None of this needed anything fancy — just structs, unions, functions, and some macros. The resulting C code is more verbose than Go, but it's structurally similar, easy enough to read, and this approach should work well for other Go packages too.The
iopackage isn't very useful on its own — it mainly defines interfaces and doesn't provide concrete implementations. So, the next two packages to port were naturallybytesandstrings— I'll talk about those in the next post.In the meantime, if you'd like to write Go that translates to C — with no runtime and manual memory management — I invite you to try Solod. The
iopackage is included, of course. -

🔗 Drew DeVault's blog A eulogy for Vim rss
Vim is important to me. I’m using it to write the words you’re reading right now. In fact, almost every word I have ever committed to posterity, through this blog, in my code, all of the docs I’ve written, emails I’ve sent, and more, almost all of it has passed through Vim.
My relationship with the software is intimate, almost as if it were an extra limb. I don’t think about what I’m doing when I use it. All of Vim’s modes and keybindings are deeply ingrained in my muscle memory. Using it just feels like my thoughts flowing from my head, into my fingers, into a Vim-shaped extension of my body, and out into the world. The unique and profound nature of my relationship with this software is not lost on me.
I didn’t know Bram Moolenaar. We never met, nor exchanged correspondence. But, after I moved to the Netherlands, Bram’s home country, in a strange way I felt a little bit closer to him. He passed away a couple of years after I moved here, and his funeral was held not far from where I lived at the time. When that happened, I experienced an odd kind of mourning. He was still young, and he had affected my own life profoundly. He was a stranger, and I never got to thank him.
The people he entrusted Vim to were not strangers, they knew Bram and worked with him often, and he trusted them. It’s not my place to judge their work as disrespectful to his memory, or out of line with what he would have wanted. Even knowing Bram only through Vim, I know he and I disagreed often. However, the most personal thing I know about Bram, and that many people remember about him, was his altruistic commitment to a single cause: providing education and healthcare to Ugandan children in need. So, at the very least, I know that he cared.
I won’t speculate on how he would have felt about generative AI, but I can say that GenAI is something I care about. It causes a lot of problems for a lot of people. It drives rising energy prices in poor communities, disrupts wildlife and fresh water supplies, increases pollution, and stresses global supply chains. It re-enforces the horrible, dangerous working conditions that miners in many African countries are enduring to supply rare metals like Cobalt for the billions of new chips that this boom demands. And at a moment when the climate demands immediate action to reduce our footprint on this planet, the AI boom is driving data centers to consume a full 1.5% of the world’s total energy production in order to eliminate jobs and replace them with a robot that lies.
Meanwhile, this whole circus is enabling the rising tide of fascism around the world, not only by supercharging propaganda but also by directly financially supporting fascist policies and policymakers. All this to enrich the few, centralize power, reduce competition, and underwrite an enormous bubble that, once it bursts, will ruin the lives of millions of the world’s poor and marginalized classes.
I don’t think it’s cute that someone vibe coded “battleship” in VimScript. I think it’s more important that we stop collectively pretending that we don’t understand how awful all of this is. I don’t want to use software which has slop in it. I do what I can to avoid it, and sadly even Vim now comes under scrutiny in that effort as both Vim and NeoVim are relying on LLMs to develop the software.
So this is how, a few years after Bram’s passing, I find myself in another unusual moment of mourning: mourning Vim itself. What an odd feeling.
To keep my conscience clear, and continue to enjoy the relationship I have with this amazing piece of software, I have forked Vim. You can find my fork here: Vim Classic.
The choice of which version to use as the basis for a fork was a bit difficult. The last version of Vim released during Bram’s lifetime was Vim 9.0. To me, that seems like a good starting point. But, in the end, I chose to base my fork on Vim 8.2.0148 instead. Patch 148 was the patch immediately prior to the introduction of Vim9 Script, Vim 9.0’s flagship feature.
I’m sure Bram worked hard on Vim9 script, and I want to honor that. At the same time, it was still very new when he passed away, and the job of fully realizing its potential was handed down to the current maintainers. Its absence from Vim Classic is an honest assessment that I don’t have the time or energy to try to sort out all of the work on Vim9 which followed in Bram’s footsteps, and decide what stays and what goes. It seems like a useful line to draw in the sand: Vim Classic is compatible with legacy plugins, but not the newfangled stuff.
Since forking from this base, I have backported a handful of patches, most of which address CVEs discovered after this release, but others which address minor bug fixes. I also penned a handful of original patches which bring the codebase from this time up to snuff for building it on newer toolchains. My old vimrc needed very few changes to work on this version of Vim, and all of my plugins work with the exception of fzf.vim, which I would like to fix at some point (or maybe a sympathetic reader is willing to work on backporting the necessary changes).
I plan to use this for a little while, look for sore points and rough edges, collect feedback from other users, and then tag a little release soon. Going forward, maintenance will be slow and quiet. I welcome your patches, particularly to help with maintaining the runtime scripts, stuff like making sure new language features end up in the syntax files. I’ll also gladly accept new bug fixes, and maybe even a few new features if a good case can be made for including them. Backporting small patches from Vim upstream will be considered, with extra scrutiny.
In short, I invite you to use Vim Classic, if you feel the same way as me, and to maintain it with me, contributing the patches you need to support your own use cases.

🔗 r/Harrogate Great food suggestions rss
Hello. I'm looking for restaurant recommendations for my friend and I on Saturday evening? Something with great starters ideally, as I love a starter over a dessert! Something not too fancy. Just friends going out for good food.

🔗 r/Yorkshire Where to live in Yorkshire? rss
Hello,
My husband is from Oldham and he has been living in California and Colorado for the past 11-12 years since graduating Uni. We me in California and moved to Colorado 5 years ago. He's over our hustle culture and wants to return to England, and be closer to his family. WE just don't have help out here, not even for your occasional date night. My family is too spread out all over the US and its all places we just wouldn't live - whether that is because of high cost, weather or politics. Then I think he has just gone so long without his own support system, its important that we have that for him and our kids.
He is a British citizen, and our kids our dual. I'll be applying for the spousal visa. So we don't need to get into the immigration stuff.
Essentially we are trying to figure out where to live in Yorkshire. We don't want to go past York, as that is too far from his family in Oldham and then his sister lives in York, so we would like to be able to see her and then also be able to meet up with both sides of the family easily still.
We are looking for:
- Good schools (we have primary aged children)
- Safe communities (we want to know our kids are safe walking to and from school or that I can jog solo, or hike solo)
- Strong sense of community but not so strong that people are cold or rude
- Strong sense of English culture and history (After my husband being away for so long, that’s become important to my husband, for our kids to grow up connected to that side of their identity.)
- Budget to buy £250,000 (preferably below that, no flats)
- Budget to rent: £1,200 or less (also would prefer no flats)
- Walkable to school, grocery, and or high street. This is negotiable as we are used to driving everywhere but walking to everything is just nice.
- Close to a motorway or train, could be one or the other, so this too is negotiable if the town/city/village is walkable with lots of shops.
- Politically, we wouldn't identify either left, right or green. We just want balanced and normal.
- Religion, we aren't really religious. But we likely live by some flavor of Christianity? If anything I'd say we are more so agnostic? Like that's great if there is a god, and if there's not a god, we still just believe in being good people. So we're open to going to church, we just don't like the whole in your face productions that American churches sort of put on.
- Work/Jobs: I am flexible, I am happy doing almost anything. I have done the whole corporate and office jobs, they make me miserable. My husband has his Bachelors in Physical Education and he is currently the director of a youth soccer club. He oversees an entire age range for our region. He'd like to stay in youth sports/sports as a career but know that may not translate. So he is then open to working in some other field and would still like to coach at least one team in his free time.We know every place has its pros & cons. Just hoping for genuine recommendations from people who actually know the region.
We have asked this question in some other groups and a few suggestions we have had were:
- Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, Holmfirth, Wakefield, Barnsley and a few others.
Part of the issue is, many people will make a suggestion and not say what is good or bad. Or someone will make a suggestion of a place to avoid but just say its sh!t.
Then people have also said for our budget we won't find much but we are looking on Rightmove and we see a ton of stuff available below £250,000. Which again, coming from the states, we can't get into anything at $300,000, and if we did find something then its a fixer upper, there are HOA fees and if we don't put 20% down then we have to pay property mortgage insurance - which is separate from actual homeowners insurance, which that's becoming increasingly unaffordable and some companies are leaving the state altogether.
So we'd love to hear your suggestions and why or why not. We'd obviously like to check most our boxes but its okay if it doesn't check every once. Top two priorities would be safe community and good schools.
Thank you in advance!

[5.8] Scientists successfully transport antimatter in a truck at CERN —nos.nl(Dutch) (+6)
Scientists at CERN successfully transported antimatter by truck for the first time, marking a breakthrough that enables moving these volatile particles to external laboratories for advanced precision research.
The test utilized a specialized one-ton container carrying 92 antiprotons suspended in electromagnetic fields at extreme sub-zero temperatures. This technology prevents the particles from annihilating upon contact with regular matter during transit, ensuring they remain stable despite the truck's movement.
Future trips to sites like Düsseldorf aim to investigate why matter dominates the universe. Researchers are now developing long-range power sources to support the ten-hour journeys required for international transport.
[6.2] Australia and the EU finalize comprehensive trade agreement after eight years of negotiations —rfi.fr(+56)
The European Union and Australia signed a landmark free-trade agreement Tuesday, concluding eight years of negotiations to diversify markets and secure critical mineral supplies amid rising global trade tensions.
The deal increases Australian beef exports while resolving disputes over protected geographical names like prosecco and feta. Additionally, both parties established a security partnership to enhance defense cooperation and reduce economic over-reliance on major powers like China for essential raw materials.
EU officials estimate regional exports will grow significantly, while the pact could boost Australia’s GDP by billions. The agreement addresses energy vulnerabilities and supply chain risks exacerbated by the ongoing Middle East conflict.

🔗 r/Leeds Hello lovely people of Leeds. I'm coming to Leeds with my wife for her 40th birthday and looking for restaurant recommendations rss
I originally booked up because I wanted to go to El Gato Negro, the Manchester restaurant is our favourite restaurant and we've been keen to go for many years. Imagine my surprise to find it closed 2 years ago!!
I'd like somewhere that would be similar, not necessarily in food but in quality and atmosphere. Ideally somewhere good for lunch as we will have our daughter with us (she's a good eater and has fancy tastes).
Any help gratefully received and much appreciated.

🔗 r/LocalLLaMA LM Studio may possibly be infected with sophisticated malware. rss
| NO VIRUS LM studio has stated it was a false positive and Microsoft dealt with it I'm no expert, just a tinkerer who messed with models at home, so correct me if this is a false positive, but it doesn't look that way to me. Anyone else get this? showed up 3 times when i did a full search on my main drive. I was able to delete them with windows defender, but might do a clean install or go to linux after this and do my tinkering in VMs. It seems this virus messes with updates possibly, because I had to go into commandline and change some update folder names to get windows to search for updates. Dont get why people are downvoting me. i loved this app before this and still might use it in VMs, just wanted to give fair warning is all. gosh the internet has gotten so weird. edit LM Studio responded that it was a false alarm on microslops side. Looks like we're safe. submitted by /u/mooncatx3

🔗 r/LocalLLaMA Created a SillyTavern extension that brings NPC's to life in any game rss
| Using SillyTavern as the backend for all the RP means it can work with almost any game, with just a small mod acting as a bridge between them. Right now I’m using Cydonia as the RP model and Qwen 3.5 0.8B as the game master. Everything is running locally. The idea is that you can take any game, download its entire wiki, and feed it into SillyTavern. Then every character has their own full lore, relationships, opinions, etc., and can respond appropriately. On top of that, every voice is automatically cloned using the game’s files and mapped to each NPC. The NPCs can also be fed as much information per turn as you want about the game world - like their current location, player stats, player HP, etc. All RP happens inside SillyTavern, and the model is never even told it’s part of a game world. Paired with a locally run RP-tuned model like Cydonia, this gives great results with low latency, as well as strong narration of physical actions. A second pass is then run over each message using a small model (currently Qwen 3.5 0.8B) with structured output. This maps responses to actual in-game actions exposed by your mod. For example, in this video I approached an NPC and only sent “ shoots at you ”. The NPC then narrated themselves shooting back at me. Qwen 3.5 reads this conversation and decides that the correct action is for the NPC to shoot back at the player. Essentially, the tiny model acts as a game master, deciding which actions should map to which functions in-game. This means the RP can flow freely without being constrained to a strict structure, which leads to much better results. In older games, this could add a lot more life even without the conversational aspect. NPCs simply reacting to your actions adds a ton of depth. Not sure why this isn’t more popular. My guess is that most people don’t realise how good highly specialised, fine-tuned RP models can be compared to base models. I was honestly blown away when I started experimenting with them while building this. submitted by /u/goodive123

🔗 sacha chua :: living an awesome life Categorizing Emacs News items by voice in Org Mode rss
I'm having fun exploring which things might actually be easier to do by voice than by typing. For example, after I wrote some code to expand yasnippets by voice, I realized that it was easier to:
- press my shortcut,
- say "okay, define interactive function",
- and then press my shortcut again,
than to:
- mentally say it,
- get the first initials,
- type in "dfi",
- and press Tab to expand.
Another area where I do this kind of mental translation for keyboard shortcuts is when I categorize dozens of Emacs-related links each week for Emacs News. I used to do this by hand. Then I wrote a function to try to guess the category based on regular expressions (
my-emacs-news-guess-categoryin emacs-news/index.org, which is large). Then I set up a menu that lets me press numbers corresponding to the most frequent categories and use tab completion for the rest. 1 is Emacs Lisp, 2 is Emacs development, 3 is Emacs configuration, 4 is appearance, 5 is navigation, and so on. It's not very efficient, but some of it has at least gotten into muscle memory, which is also part of why it's hard to change the mapping. I don't come across that many links for Emacs development or Spacemacs, and I could probably change them to something else, but… Anyway.
Figure 1: Screenshot of my menu for categorizing links I wanted to see if I could categorize links by voice instead. I might not always be able to count on being able to type a lot, and it's always fun to experiment with other modes of input. Here's a demonstration showing how Emacs can automatically open the URLs, wait for voice input, and categorize the links using a reasonably close match. The
*Messages*buffer displays the recognized output to help with debugging.Screencast with audio: categorizing links by voiceThis is how it works:
- It starts an
ffmpegrecording process. - It starts Silero voice activity detection.
- When it detects that speech has ended, it use
curlto send the WAV to an OpenAI-compatible server (in my case, Speaches with theSystran/faster-whisper-base.enmodel) for transcription, along with a prompt to try to influence the recognition. - It compares the result with the candidates using
string-distancefor an approximate match. It calls the code to move the current item to the right category, creating the category if needed.
Since this doesn't always result in the right match, I added an Undo command. I also have a Delete command for removing the current item, Scroll Up and Scroll Down, and a way to quit.
Initial thoughts
I used it to categorize lots of links in this week's Emacs News, and I think it's promising. I loved the way my hands didn't have to hover over the number keys or move between those and the characters. Using voice activity detection meant that I could just keep dictating categories instead of pressing keyboard shortcuts or using the foot pedal I recently dusted off. There's a slight delay, of course, but I think it's worth it. If this settles down and becomes a solid part of my workflow, I might even be able to knit or hand-sew while doing this step, or simply do some stretching exercises.
What about using streaming speech recognition? I've written some code to use streaming speech recognition, but the performance wasn't good enough when I tried it on my laptop (Lenovo P52 released in 2018, no configured GPU under Linux). The streaming server dropped audio segments in order to try to catch up. I'd rather have everything transcribed at the level of the model I want, even if I have to wait a little while. I also tried using the Web Speech API in Google Chrome for real-time speech transcription, but it's a little finicky. I'm happy with the performance I get from either manually queueing speech segments or using VAD and then using batch speech recognition with a model that's kept in memory (which is why I use a local server instead of a command-line tool). Come to think of it, I should try this with a higher-quality model like medium or large, just in case the latency turns out to be not that much more for this use case.
What about external voice control systems like Talon Voice or Cursorless? They seem like neat ideas and lots of people use them. I think hacking something into Emacs with full access to its internals could be lots of fun too.
A lot of people have experimented with voice input for Emacs over the years. It could be fun to pick up ideas for commands and grammars. Some examples:
- Using Python to Code by Voice - YouTube (2013)
- jgarvin/mandimus: Use speech recognition to command your computer and Emacs. · GitHub
- ErikPrantare/cursorfree.el: Edit and navigate from anywhere in the buffer · GitHub
- ~lepisma/emacs-speech-input - uses the idea of a voice cursor, uses an LLM to execute editing instructions
What about automating myself out of this loop? I've considered training a classifier or sending the list to a large language model to categorize links in order to set more reasonable defaults, but I think I'd still want manual control, since the fun is in getting a sense of all the cool things that people are tinkering around with in the Emacs community. I found that with voice control, it was easier for me to say the category than to look for the category it suggested and then say "Okay" to accept the default. If I display the suggested category in a buffer with very large text (and possibly category-specific background colours), then I can quickly glance at it or use my peripheral vision. But yeah, it's probably easier to look at a page and say "Org Mode" than to look at the page, look at the default text, see if it matches Org Mode, and then say okay if it is.
Ideas for next steps
I wonder how to line up several categories. I could probably rattle off a few without waiting for the next one to load, and just pause when I'm not sure. Maybe while there's a reasonably good match within the first 1-3 words, I'll take candidates from the front of the queue. Or I could delimit it with another easily-recognized word, like "next".
I want to make a more synchronous version of this idea so that I can have a speech-enabled drop-in replacement that I can use as my
y-or-n-pwhile still being able to typeyorn. This probably involves usingsit-forand polling to see if it's done. And then I can use that to play Twenty Questions, but also to do more serious stuff. It would also be nice to have replacements forread-stringandcompleting-read, since those block Emacs until the user enters something.I might take a side-trip into a conversational interface for M-x doctor and M-x dunnet, because why not. Naturally, it also makes sense to voice-enable agent-shell and gptel interactions.
I'd like to figure out a number- or word-based completion mechanism so that I can control Reddit link replacement as well, since I want to select from a list of links from the page. Maybe something similar to the way voicemacs adds numbers to helm and company or how flexi-choose.el works.
I'm also thinking about how I can shift seamlessly between typing and speaking, like when I want to edit a link title. Maybe I can check if I'm in the minibuffer and what kind of minibuffer I'm in, perhaps like the way Embark does.
It would be really cool to define speech commands by reusing the keymap structure that menus also use. This is how to define a menu in Emacs Lisp:
(easy-menu-define words-menu global-map "Menu for word navigation commands." '("Words" ["Forward word" forward-word] ["Backward word" backward-word]))and this is how to set just one binding:
(keymap-set-after my-menu "<drink>" '("Drink" . drink-command) 'eat)That makes sense to reuse for speech commands. I'd also like to be able to specify aliases while hiding them or collapsing them for a "What can I say" help view… Also, if keymaps work, then maybe minor modes or transient maps could work? This sort of feels like it should be the voice equivalent of a transient map.
The code so far
(defun my-emacs-news-categorize-with-voice (&optional skip-browse) (interactive (list current-prefix-arg)) (unless skip-browse (my-spookfox-browse)) (speech-input-cancel-recording) (let ((default (if (fboundp 'my-emacs-news-guess-category) (my-emacs-news-guess-category)))) (speech-input-from-list (if default (format "Category (%s): " default) "Category: ") '(("Org Mode" "Org" "Org Mode") "Other" "Emacs Lisp" "Coding" ("Emacs configuration" "Config" "Configuration") ("Appearance" "Appearance") ("Default" "Okay" "Default") "Community" "AI" "Writing" ("Reddit" "Read it" "Reddit") "Shells" "Navigation" "Fun" ("Dired" "Directory" "Dir ed") ("Mail, news, and chat" "News" "Mail" "Chat") "Multimedia" "Scroll down" "Scroll up" "Web" "Delete" "Skip" "Undo" ("Quit" "Quit" "Cancel" "All done")) (lambda (result text) (message "Recognized %s original %s" result text) (pcase result ("Undo" (undo) (my-emacs-news-categorize-with-voice t)) ("Skip" (forward-line) (my-emacs-news-categorize-with-voice)) ("Quit" (message "All done.")

(defun my-spookfox-scroll-down () (interactive) (spookfox-js-injection-eval-in-active-tab "window.scrollBy(0, document.documentElement.clientHeight);" t)) (defun my-spookfox-scroll-up () (interactive) (spookfox-js-injection-eval-in-active-tab "window.scrollBy(0, -document.documentElement.clientHeight);"))(defun my-spookfox-background-tab (url &rest args) "Open URL as a background tab." (if spookfox--connected-clients (spookfox-tabs--request (cl-first spookfox--connected-clients) "OPEN_TAB" `(:url ,url)) (browse-url url)))It also uses these functions for categorizing Org Mode items:
(defun my-org-move-current-item-to-category (category) "Move current list item under CATEGORY earlier in the list. CATEGORY can be a string or a list of the form (text indent regexp). Point should be on the next line to process, even if a new category has been inserted." (interactive (list (completing-read "Category: " (my-org-get-list-categories)))) (when category (let* ((col (current-column)) (item (point-at-bol)) (struct (org-list-struct)) (category-text (if (stringp category) category (elt category 0))) (category-indent (if (stringp category) 2 (+ 2 (elt category 1)))) (category-regexp (if (stringp category) category (elt category 2))) (end (elt (car (last struct)) 6)) (pos (point)) s) (setq s (org-remove-indentation (buffer-substring-no-properties item (org-list-get-item-end item struct)))) (save-excursion (if (string= category-text "x") (org-list-send-item item 'delete struct) (goto-char (caar struct)) (if (re-search-forward (concat "^ *- +" category-regexp) end t) (progn ;; needs a patch to ol.el to check if stringp (org-list-send-item item (point-at-bol) struct) (org-move-item-down) (org-indent-item)) (goto-char end) (org-list-insert-item (point-at-bol) struct (org-list-prevs-alist struct)) (let ((old-struct (copy-tree struct))) (org-list-set-ind (point-at-bol) struct 0) (org-list-struct-fix-bul struct (org-list-prevs-alist struct)) (org-list-struct-apply-struct struct old-struct)) (goto-char (point-at-eol)) (insert category-text) (org-list-send-item item 'end struct) (org-indent-item) (org-indent-item)) (recenter)))))) (defun my-org-guess-list-category (&optional categories) (interactive) (require 'cl-lib) (unless categories (setq categories (my-helm-org-list-categories-init-candidates))) (let* ((beg (line-beginning-position)) (end (line-end-position)) (string (buffer-substring-no-properties beg end)) (found (cl-member string categories :test (lambda (string cat-entry) (unless (string= (car cat-entry) "x") (string-match (regexp-quote (downcase (car cat-entry))) string)))))) (when (car found) (my-org-move-current-item-to-category (cdr (car found))) t)))For the

Hey,
heute ist mir eine hübsche Frau mit roten Strähnen im Haar und einem sympathischen Lächeln im Liliencarré entgegengekommen. Wir haben uns kurz angesehen und gelächelt.
Ich weiß nicht, ob Sie sich an den Moment erinnern wird, aber Ihr Lächeln hat mir den Tag gerettet.
Deshalb möchte ich mich mit diesen Zeilen bei Dir dafür bedanken.
Vielleicht sieht man sich ja nochmal.

🔗 r/LocalLLaMA RYS II - Repeated layers with Qwen3.5 27B and some hints at a 'Universal Language' rss
| So, I've had my H100s grind for you all, and have some interesting new results AND fresh models! So, what did I find? Well because my blog article are too damn long (I know some of you are not reading the whole thing...), here is a TL;DR :- I found that LLMs seem to think in a universal language. During the middle layers, the models latent representations are more similar on the same content in Chinese and English than different content in the same language.
- I tried a bunch of different stuff, but in the end, repeating blocks in the middle of the transformer stack works the best.
- You should still read the blog: https://dnhkng.github.io/posts/rys-ii/
If you still didnt read the blog, well, I guess you can just try the models? https://huggingface.co/dnhkng/RYS-Qwen3.5-27B-FP8-S https://huggingface.co/dnhkng/RYS-Qwen3.5-27B-FP8-M https://huggingface.co/dnhkng/RYS-Qwen3.5-27B-FP8-L https://huggingface.co/dnhkng/RYS-Qwen3.5-27B-FP8-XL Wen GGUF? When someone GGUF's them I guess? When you repeat layers, you benefit a lot from fine tuning. I expect the first team to fine tune RYS-Qwen3.5-27B-FP8-XL will have a new SOTA for that size range. Lastly, Ive been chatting with TurboDerp; hopefully we can get this into a new format where you can keep the duplicated later as copies, and not use more VRAM (except for the KV cache). S tay tuned! submitted by /u/Reddactor

My friend and I are wanting to try doing something different and interesting each week in or around the Leeds area. We are not wanting to spend more than £10 each time if possible, and are looking for things like classes to learn skills or random experiences. They can be organised events or just things we can go off and try ourselves. Does anyone have any recommendations for places we can search for these types of things, or suggestions for specific classes/events/ideas. Thanks in advance!

🔗 r/LocalLLaMA The current state of the Chinese LLMs scene rss
This is a summary of what's going on in Chinese LLM scene based on my own research. If you find any errors, please let me know.
The Big Boys:
- ByteDance: dola-seed (aka doubao) is the current market leader in proprietary LLM. It plays a role like OpenAI. They have an Seed OSS 36B model that is a solid dense model but seems like no one is talking about it. They have a proprietary Seedance T2V model that is now the most popular video gen app for lay people.
- Alibaba - Not many people uses its properitary model Qwen Max. It is the strongest in its open weight offering especially the small models. It is also strongest in T2I and T2V scene but this is off topic.
- Tencent - Hunyuan is their proprietary model but not many people use. Their T2I, T2V effort is second to Alibaba. They are the leader in 3D mesh generation with Hunyuan 3D but this model is only open weight up to 2.1.
- Baidu - Ernie is proprietary but not many people use. Baidu is stronger in the autonomous driving scene but that's off topic here.
- Xiaomi - Mimo V2 Pro is their proprietary model while the Mimo V2 Flash 309B-A15B is their open weight model.
- Ant Group - Ling 2.5 1T is their flagship open weight model. Seems to be outperformed by Kimi K2.5, so not many people are talking about it. It introduces something called Lightning LinearAttention, does anyone know the paper describing it?
- RedNote - Flagship open weight model is dots.vlm1 which is a derivative of DeepSeek with vision. They also have a smaller vanilla MoE called dots.llm1 which is 142B-A14B. Seems like the performance of their models are not that impressive, so not many people are using it.
- Kuaishou - The lesser known domestic competitor to ByteDance in the short video space. Their focus is in coding models. Flagship is proprietary KAT-Coder-Pro-V1. They also have a 72B open weight coding model called KAT-Dev-72B-Exp. Don't know why no one is talking about it here.
- Meituan - LongCat-Flash-Chat is an open weight 562B model with dynamic MoE that activates 18.6B~31.3B. It also has a lite version that is 65B-A3B. Attention mechanism is MLA. Seems like they are the most aggressive open weight player now but they are more like the Middle Boy instead of Big.
The Side Project:
- Deepseek - a side project from an algorithmic trading firm. Current usage in China is a close second to ByteDance's doubao with half of the users. Interestingly, it is the most innovative among all Chinese LLM companies as it invented MLA,, DSA, GRPO, etc. Please let me know if there are other non-obvious tech that is used in actual product that is developed by other Chinese companies. Their business model might be similar to the Six Small Tigers but it seems to me this project is more for attracting investments to the investment arm and gaining access to President Xi.
The Six AI Small Tigers: (business models are highly similar. Release big open weight model to gain recognition and provide cheap inference service. Not sure if any of them is viable for the long term.)
- Zhipu - IPOed in HK. Current GLM-5 is a derivate of DeepSeek.
- Minimax - IPOed in HK. They have a MiniMax 2.7 proprietary model. MiniMax 2.5 is their open weight model which is a vanilla MoE 229B-A10B. So its inference cost is significantly lower than the others.
- Moonshot - Kimi open weight model which is a derivative of DeepSeek
- Stepfun - Step 3.5 flash is their open weight model that is a mixture of full attn and sliding window attention (SWA) layers at 1:3. It is 196B-A11B. Similar business model to Minimax but their model is not as good.
- Baichuan - Their Baichuan-M3 235B is a medical enhanced open weight model based on Qwen3Moe.
- 01 AI - Yi-34B is their last open weight model published in Nov 2024. They seem to focus on Enterprise AI agent system now, so they are becoming irrelevant to people here.
Government Funded:
- Beijing Academy of AI (BAAI) - most famous for its bge embedding model. Recently started to release a DeepSeek derivative called OpenSeek-Small-v1. In general, they are not an LLM focused lab.
- Shanghai AI Lab - The original team was from a big facial recognition company called Sense Time. Since their LLM project was burning too much money, Sense Time founder managed to find the Chinese government to setup Shanghai AI Lab with a lot of governmental funding for the team. Their flagship is the open weight InterLM-S1-Pro. They seem to have a bad rep at Zhihu (the Chinese quora). Not many people talk about it here. Are their models any good?

🔗 zellij-org/zellij Release v0.44.0 release
This is a large release including many new features, some of which long requested, as well as countless fixes, infrastructure overhauls and much more. I would like to thank everyone for their patience with this long awaited version being released. I hope you will agree it was worth the wait.
Following is a non-exhaustive list of some major and significant changes:
Native Windows Support
Zellij now runs natively on Windows(!!). Achieved through a major community code contribution, at long last Zellij is truly multi-platform. Allowing windows users to enjoy the same session management, workspace automation, plugin ecosystem and multiplayer capabilities that have been available on Linux and macOS since the inception of the tool. We are truly excited.
Special thanks to @divens for the implementation and hard work.
Layout Manager
This release introduces a new
layout-managerinterface, implemented as a built-in plugin allowing users to:- Open their favorite layouts in a new tab or tabs
- Apply their layouts to the current tab (optionally keeping panes that do not match the layout or closing them outright)
- Create new layouts on the fly by recording the current tab state
It should be noted that with the layout manager comes the new
override- layoutcapability, appearing both a as a plugin command (used by the plugin) and as a CLI command. This capability allows us to change the layout of the current tab or all the tabs in the session to match a specific layout. An example use case for this is to toggle between the standard status-bar and the compact bar (in itself a much requested capability).To open the layout manager:
Ctrl o+lTerminal-to-Terminal Attach over HTTPS (remote attach)
This feature allows us to attach to a remote Zellij session (with the web server running and the session shared) from the terminal, just like we would from the browser. Using the same authentication tokens and doing so over HTTPS:
zellij attach https://example.com/my-cool-sessionRead-Only Session Sharing
We are now able to issue "read-only" authentication tokens, which will allow users to attach to sessions without being able to affect them in any way (keyboard/mouse input or terminal window resizing). This can be especially useful for teaching, demonstrations, screencasting or streaming.
These tokens can be issued with:
zellij web --create-read-only-tokenOr through the
shareplugin withCtrl o+sCLI Automation
This release dramatically expands what can be accomplished from the command line. Some main areas:
Conditionally Blocking Command Panes
The
zellij runcommand now includes a--blocking,--block-until-exit- successand--block-until-exit-failureflags. Using these we can conditionally block the CLI before moving to the next command, depending on the outcome of the command run in the new pane.New CLI actions of note
zellij detachandzellij action switch-sessionzellij action list-panes- lists all panes in the current or specified session, including metadata such as running commands, titles, coordinates, etc. Also optionally in --json format.zellij action send-keys- allows us to send Human readable keys to a specific pane (eg.zellij action send-keys "Enter" "Ctrl c" "F1" "a" "b")zellij subscribe- allows us to continuously subscribe to pane updates (viewport and scrollback) from one or more panes, optionally in --json format, optionally with --ansi (so colors and styling won't be stripped)zellij action dump-screennow has a--pane-idflag so that we can query the pane viewport/scrollback actively (also from other session by prefixing theactionwith--session <name>)- CLI commands that create panes (eg.
zellij run) now return the pane_id for easy storing and manipulation in following commands and scripts. CLI commands that create tabs (eg.zellij action new-tab) similarly return the created tab index.
For more info, including examples, recipes and directions for external programmatic control, please see: https://zellij.dev/documentation/controlling-zellij-through-cli.html
Resize Panes with the Mouse
Panes can now be resized with the mouse. Either by dragging their borders (floating panes require
ctrl+ dragging, as normal dragging moves them) or by floating over the pane, holdingctrland scrolling the mouse up or down.Note: this feature includes hints for the above keys that appear on hover. For those who do not like this behavior, the hints (as well as other mouse hover actions) can be disabled by specifying

By default, Zellij now highlights file paths (relative and absolute) when hovering over them with the mouse. When we
Alt+Clickthem, these files will be opened in a new floating pane in our defaultEDITOR.This new capability is implemented as a built-in plugin. For those who don't like this behavior, it can be disabled by commenting out the
linkplugin in the configuration: https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/blob/main/zellij- utils/assets/config/default.kdl#L249New Session Manager UI
The session manager UI has been revamped and is now much simpler, including only one screen that allows user to create new sessions, attach to existing ones or resurrect exited ones - all depending on which session name is specified.
For those wishing to remain with the old experience, the session manager can be run with
multi_screen true.New Rust APIs
It is Zellij development policy to create new UI interfaces as built-in plugins. This means that the new APIs created for all the above interfaces are now also available for third-party plugins (gated behind relevant permissions).
These capabilities include:- Read pane scrollback - Plugins can now read the scrollback buffer of other panes, optionally including the ANSI colors and styling
- Configuration propagation - Changes to plugin configuration are now propagated to running plugins
- Query environment variables - Plugins can query env vars set upon session creation
- Highlight viewport text - Plugins can change the style of arbitrary text in any pane's viewport, optionally on mouse hover, optionally receiving an event when the user
Alt+Clicks them - Change pane colors - Set foreground/background colors of panes
- Explicit session save - Trigger a session save for resurrection without waiting for the automatic interval

Infrastructure Overhaul
Under the hood, this release includes significant infrastructure changes:
-
WASM runtime migration: The plugin runtime has been migrated from
wasmtimetowasmi, meaning they now do not require an explicit compilation step and so do not need to be cached. This might incur a slight performance penalty for plugins, but this penalty can be almost completely mitigated by adding the following to the plugin's Cargo.toml:[profile.release] lto = true strip = true codegen-units = 1
-
Async runtime migration: for historical reasons, up until now we've had two async runtimes:
async_stdandtokio. This release migrates us to usetokioexclusively.
Forwards Compatibility
Due to the lack of a client-server contract, Zellij sessions have never been backwards compatible. Each version upgrade would orphan existing sessions, forcing users to manually kill them and recreate them. While this is unfortunately still the case with this version, this will be the last time.
A new client/server contract has been created and enforced with protocol buffers. Future versions will be able to connect to existing sessions. The only caveat being that new features won't work with old sessions and will silently fail.
Additional Improvements
Beyond the above features, this release includes a large number of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements:
- Borderless panes - open specific panes as borderless or toggle border status at runtime
- Terminal BEL forwarding from unfocused tabs and panes with visual indication
- Configurable
focus_follows_mouseandmouse_click_through - Line-wrapping/resize performance improvements
- Better STDIN segmentation with latency (eg. over SSH)
- Mobile web client viewport sizing and touch scrolling improvements
- Numerous fixes for session resurrection, floating pane behavior, cursor handling, grid rendering and more

🔗 r/Leeds First Direct Arena - Greg Davies rss
what a fantastic night we had on Sunday 😁
Greg is so damn funny, his show was on point and his warm up act, really good too.
ended up sitting in the "Gods", 3 rows from the roof of the building itself. this section should have its own postcode.
really tempted by the upcoming Prodigy and Carl Cox show, but will definitely buy tickets for a much lower tier!
dont get me started on the price's of drinks 😮💨
overall a fantastic night, and if you are a fan of Greg, the show is worth the cost.
good job there is a Spoons nearby

🔗 r/LocalLLaMA I came from Data Engineering stuff before jumping into LLM stuff, i am surprised that many people in this space never heard Elastic/OpenSearch rss
| Jokes aside, on a technical level, Google/brave search and vector stores basically work in a very similar way. The main difference is scale. From an LLM point of view, both fall under RAG. You can even ignore embedding models entirely and just use TF-IDF or BM25. Elastic and OpenSearch (and technically Lucene) are powerhouses when it comes to this kind of retrieval. You can also enable a small BERT model as a vector embedding, around 100 MB (FP32), running in on CPU, within either Elastic or OpenSearch. If your document set is relatively small (under ~10K) and has good variance, a small BERT model can handle the task well, or you can even skip embeddings entirely. For deeper semantic similarity or closely related documents, more powerful embedding models are usually the go to. submitted by /u/Altruistic_Heat_9531

🔗 badlogic/pi-mono v0.62.0 release
New Features
- Built-in tools as extensible ToolDefinitions. Extension authors can now override rendering of built-in read/write/edit/bash/grep/find/ls tools with custom
renderCall/renderResultcomponents. See docs/extensions.md. - Unified source provenance via
sourceInfo. All resources, commands, tools, skills, and prompt templates now carry structuredsourceInfowith path, scope, and source metadata. Visible in autocomplete, RPC discovery, and SDK introspection. See docs/extensions.md. - AWS Bedrock cost allocation tagging. New
requestMetadataoption onBedrockOptionsforwards key-value pairs to the Bedrock Converse API for AWS Cost Explorer split cost allocation.
Breaking Changes
- Changed
ToolDefinition.renderCallandrenderResultsemantics. Fallback rendering now happens only when a renderer is not defined for that slot. IfrenderCallorrenderResultis defined, it must return aComponent. - Changed slash command provenance to use
sourceInfoconsistently. RPCget_commands,RpcSlashCommand, and SDKSlashCommandInfono longer exposelocationorpath. UsesourceInfoinstead (#1734) - Removed legacy
sourcefields fromSkillandPromptTemplate. UsesourceInfo.sourcefor provenance instead (#1734) - Removed
ResourceLoader.getPathMetadata(). Resource provenance is now attached directly to loaded resources viasourceInfo(#1734) - Removed
extensionPathfromRegisteredCommandandRegisteredTool. UsesourceInfo.pathfor provenance instead (#1734)
Migration Notes
Resource, command, and tool provenance now use
sourceInfoconsistently.Common updates:
- RPC
get_commands: replacepathandlocationwithsourceInfo.path,sourceInfo.scope, andsourceInfo.source SlashCommandInfo: replacecommand.pathandcommand.locationwithcommand.sourceInfoSkillandPromptTemplate: replace.sourcewith.sourceInfo.sourceRegisteredCommandandRegisteredTool: replace.extensionPathwith.sourceInfo.path- Custom
ResourceLoaderimplementations: removegetPathMetadata()and read provenance from loaded resources directly
Examples:
command.path->command.sourceInfo.pathcommand.location === "user"->command.sourceInfo.scope === "user"skill.source->skill.sourceInfo.sourcetool.extensionPath->tool.sourceInfo.path
Changed
- Built-in tools now work like custom tools in extensions. To get built-in tool definitions, import
readToolDefinition/createReadToolDefinition()and the equivalentbash,edit,write,grep,find, andlsexports from@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent. - Cleaned up
buildSystemPrompt()so built-in tool snippets and tool-local guidelines come from built-inToolDefinitionmetadata, while cross-tool and global prompt rules stay in system prompt construction. - Added structured
sourceInfotopi.getAllTools()results for built-in, SDK, and extension tools (#1734)
Fixed
- Fixed extension command name conflicts so extensions with duplicate command names can load together. Conflicting extension commands now get numeric invocation suffixes in load order, for example
/review:1and/review:2(#1061) - Fixed slash command source attribution for extension commands, prompt templates, and skills in autocomplete and command discovery (#1734)
- Fixed auto-resized image handling to enforce the inline image size limit on the final base64 payload, return text-only fallbacks when resizing cannot produce a safe image, and avoid falling back to the original image in
readand@fileauto-resize paths (#2055) - Fixed
pi updatefor git packages to skip destructive reset, clean, and reinstall steps when the fetched target already matches the local checkout (#2503) - Fixed print and JSON mode to take over stdout during non-interactive startup, keeping package-manager and other incidental chatter off protocol/output stdout (#2482)
- Fixed cli-highlight auto-detection for languageless code blocks that misidentified prose as programming languages and colored random English words as keywords
- Fixed Anthropic thinking disable handling to send
thinking: { type: "disabled" }for reasoning-capable models when thinking is explicitly off (#2022) - Fixed explicit thinking disable handling across Google, Google Vertex, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Responses, Azure OpenAI Responses, and OpenRouter-backed OpenAI-compatible completions (#2490)
- Fixed OpenAI Responses replay for foreign tool-call item IDs by hashing foreign IDs into bounded
fc_<hash>IDs - Fixed OpenAI-compatible completions streams to ignore null chunks instead of crashing (#2466 by @Cheng-Zi-Qing)
- Fixed
truncateToWidth()performance for very large strings by streaming truncation (#2447) - Fixed markdown heading styling being lost after inline code spans within headings
- Built-in tools as extensible ToolDefinitions. Extension authors can now override rendering of built-in read/write/edit/bash/grep/find/ls tools with custom
