unpopular opinion apparently, but i don‘t understand the finder hate. as a real-life, non-software-developer user, i couldn‘t care less about library folders, root folders, or a unix-tradition file system at all. i want my folders with my documents, pictures, etc. to me that‘s far more user-friendly and comprehensible than what explorer exposes to normal people.
I've never quite understood the hate either. But the way I see it is that it's not fundamentally inferior to explorer, but rather just has annoyances and warts that Apple has bizarrely not fixed for decades which makes tedious to use for anything other than casual browsing.
You can still navigate by path via cmd+shift+g (this works in the file picker too), but I feel like the popup animation used to be a lot quicker on older versions. You can customize views, but to get them to actually stick you have to use an arcane incantation (delete all existing ds_store, then go to view options menu and hit "make default").
You can cut-paste but you have to use cmd+c and cmd+option+v instead of cmd+x. There is an option to merge, it only appears under conditions: only when copy/pasting and only when "alt" is held in the dialog I think.
It also is really bad at browsing networked volumes, partly due to poor defaults as it tries to litter ds_store and generate thumbnails.
Opening a new tab always takes you back to the root directory instead of cloning your existing view. All of it is stuff that could be added in a simple point update rather than a ground-up rewrite.
I’m not an expert, but my understanding is that MTPs are smaller LLMs fine-tuned to "mimic" / predict a specific model’s response. It’s possible that the MTP you’re using isn’t trained well enough on Qwen 3.8. What accept rate are you getting?
Acceptance rate is good, but MTP doesn't help in my case because of my machine's memory bandwidth constraints (M4 Max). Turn out it's better to turn MTP off.
It depends on your use case, but the smaller Gemma 4 models or qwen3.6:9b would probably run OK on that. I recommend trying it, even just for fun. It‘s easy with omlx.
I‘ve been considering applying at WikiMedia for a while now, but [my country] is not in the listed countries. Is there a chance you‘ll expand this list in the future?
Ah, that is too bad. It's certainly always possible the countries list could expand in future, but it's not something I have insight into and unfortunately can't give you too much to go on.
that is a very fair point i haven‘t seen being made thus far. it took a long time for gemma4 and qwen 3.6 to reach the speed and reliability that they have now, and many (including myself) made assumptions about their viability on day one. we ought to give ourselves and the foss runtime maintainers, and quants more time with new models. it‘s not a quick and easy process to optimize at this point.
