I've gained and lost 10kg twice in my life. Maintaining the weight loss isn't that hard once you've a rhythm dialed in. In my case I just weight myself daily, track the weight and scale my food consumption with the current tr

GLM 5.2 is great but it heavily detoriates once the context window gets past 200k tokens. I've had more success with creating a plan first and then implementing it in (short-lived) sub-agents. Ironically good software architecture patt

6bn seems excessive but despite GPT 5.5 arguably being better than Claude I don't see a lot of adoption of Codex yet. Some of my coworkers even use Sonnet (the default in Claude Code for the 20 USD subscription) and see no reason to ch

I've been very pleased with it's performance over the last few days. It's definitely not near Opus 4.8 level but it's very impressive nonetheless and it does do design extremely well.

This is too little, too late. Europe really need to start focussing. All these tiny niche models are perhaps fun as an academic exercise or great for the researchers resume but I highly doubt that they'll add any value or will be used

Thanks for pointing that out! I'm not in the US and I guess it's not illegal in China (given that Deepseek was more than happy to do it). That does raise an interesting question, what kind of laws should LLMs (attempt to) follow?

Same, I had Deepseek search for, download and transfer (to my Linux emulation machine) the best Dreamcast games yesterday. GPT refused to do so (citing that it's illegal even though I own the games). Deepseek did a wonderful job for 7

Based on my first impressions it's about 6 months behind the frontier labs. So very similar to Opus in January. That is, pretty damn impressive and very useable. When it comes to architecture or complex problems it does noticeable wors

While it seems reasonable to comment about how we're using water it also seems like a complex topic. What happens to the (slightly warmer) water after it has been used? Is there a way we could return it in a way to minimise impact? I.e

I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about chips as I would like to be but I'm seeing lots of hype around the new Huawei Ascend 910C-Chips. These are in no way competitive with Nvidia for training but they're cheap for inference a

Not to mention the rise of Chinese chips. GPUs that can run everything from Crysis to CUDA are a harder engineering problem to solve than creating a chip that's optimized for inference. Not to mention that inference is an excellent fir

There's an argument to be made for being able to turn on a feature for a certain segment (e.g low revenue users in Italy) so you can see what the business/performance impact is. Ofcourse you don't want users to lose the featu

Tokens are the new "lines of code per engineer". Easy to graph, easy to "manage".

It works very well with OpenCode. My team keeps hitting the 5h limits on other subscriptions and it's pretty good to have Deepseek as a backup. I just put 50 bucks on there and it feels like it'll never run out. It's not good

As much as I love my Vita having access to Chinese handhelds with decent screens that can emulate almost everything under the sun (including PC, Switch and some Vita!) is pretty damn awesome!

Agreed, it should definitely be documented and undone on uninstall but the action itself is reasonable. I spent some time figuring out how to disable the default language server after installing Ty.

It absolutely is and in some ways we've only just started! Although we definitely shouldn't move fast and break things with living animals and our food supply;)

That would be glorious! If ChatGPT doesn't get the permissions right on the first try I know that I'm going to have to spend the next hours reading the documentation or trying random combinations to get a token that works.

Amen. I love the concept but I've never hosted such a terrible piece of software. Every update breaks something new or introduces another "anti-feature" that's enabled by default. The documentation is often lagging behin

I'm on their lite plan as well and I've been using it for my OpenClaw. It had some issues but it also one-shotted a very impressive dashboard for my Twitter bookmarks. For the price this is a pretty damn impressive model.

20%? That's a bit insane. This does happen in Europe but is heavily looked down up on and usually quickly corrected. On the other hand I did get a chewing out from an older guy for having a conversation with friends on a train once, so

I agree but you have to understand that a lot of European (leaders) still have WW2 in the back of their head. For them there're far worse things than giving up some freedoms. One can agree or disagree with this but Europe's action

Amen, my OpenClaw instance broke last week. Some update broke the OpenRouter integration and I haven't been able to fix the issue. I took a quick look at the code, hoping to narrow it down and it's pretty much exactly what you wou

Whatever Anthropic might or might not do with the department of war interests me in proportion to how much I can influence this. Rounded, speaking as an European citizen, that appears to be exactly 0 to me.

OpenAI and Github Copilot do explicitly allow this, so do many of the new/Chinese providers such as Synthetic, Z.ai, etc. Anthropic is the outlier here, obviously they can limit their subscriptions as they want but it's a major di
