Been testing the the smaller one (Qwen3.5-35B-A3B) with OpenCode for the last couple of hours and I'm very impressed! Still too early to say for sure, but I may actually prefer it over gpt-oss-120b and qwen3-coder-next despite it being much smaller.

Looks like a solid model based on my limited testing. Though tool calls frequently fail with "JSON parse error" in longer sessions in OpenCode and llama.cpp. Hoping that will be addressed soon.

I was worried this day would come. Silent Hill 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. I was hoping Konami would eventually give up and sell the IP instead of milking it with these cheap soulless remakes.

I feel, for me at least, it's more than just curiosity. Bottom up thinking makes you obsessively want to learn the deeper truth so you can build more generalized knowledge. For example, a neurotical student learning the Pythagorean theorem would simply memorize the formula which is easy and straightforward. Maybe if they're curious enough they'd try to understand why it works. But for a bottom up thinker, memorizing the formula as a floating piece of knowledge is difficult. So they need to have a deeper understanding of the underlying principles in order to "ground" that knowledge.

My pet theory is that people with ADHD have to rely more on bottom up thinking to compensate for their weaker working memory. Having a deeper understanding of a subject makes things easier to remember and reason about. Kind of like how it's easier to remember a phone number if you look for patterns within it. This "hypercuriosity" is an advantage in the same sense as wheelchair users have the advantage of having stronger arms.

I'm lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse, but more recently switched to the generic version of it) and my son is on methylphenidate (Concerta). So I occasionally take Concerta just out of curiosity and because I've been contemplating switching to Concerta myself. For me, both feel very similar and I wouldn't be able to know which one I took if I was given one at random. The effects from other factors such as sleep, diet, etc. are more significant than the kind of med I'm taking.

It's flawless. Tried Fedora 40 live image and I think the iGPU wasn't recognized because Gnome felt sluggish and there was no animations. Fedora 41 obviously has a more recent kernel and everything worked just fine.
