Another summary report here, for those who can't get past the paywall: https://www.financialreporter.co.uk/ai-models-give-wrong-fin... Much of the testing is on Haiku and Luna, and criticizing the quality of free AI (!

If the .xyz domain wasn't a giveaway that this is a scam, or the request to enable ads to keep the project "completly free" (sic)... ... I actually did the silly thing of unblocking my adblocker. It briefly displays a cookie

My understanding is it's a riff on the OpenAI swarm that used various public wikis to communicate with each other as a message board during their training runs. But thanks to people misunderstanding, and i-heard-from-a-friend-that-some

Night person here too - midnight walks during an Australian summer are excellent. The homeless situation isn't quite that bad where I am in Perth's suburbs, but there was a guy living out of his 4WD in a local shopping center carp

> they sometimes veer off into unrelated Apple news... Gruber has always done that. Years ago I made a Chrome extension to filter out all of his detours into baseball, James Bond, politics, and I can't remember if I let the Kubric

There's definitely some of it happening in Australia. I wouldn't regard libraries as the safest of places. I had a period where I tried working from there on my laptop, before realizing I was incredibly naive and there were a lot

So, the way GPT-Live-1 works, the Live model just handles the conversation layer in a lightweight manner. For any deeper thinking (and I think tool calls) it will delegate to the Backend. It's like how Fable can delegate tasks to Opus

lol, this took longer to land with me than it should have, being the token "not in the target demographic" guy. And now I know more than I wanted to know about the AI scene ;)

Ahh, that one time the Belarussian delegation tried importing so much alcohol into [host country] to give away for free to everyone at the artist party, that it was all seized at the [host country] border and caused a minor diplomatic incid

You'd think so, and I intuitively agree. But the concept has floated around for over a decade under several different project names - Asiavision, Our Sound, ABU Song Contest. Somehow "Eurovision Asia" is the one that got coun

I don't mind countries setting their own rules for the food they want to consume, and for sure the EU can be overly bureaucratic. On the other hand, the US is the only country I've been to where I have purchased milk in a complete

Also, being a European Broadcasting Union (EBU) "Associate Member" is the name for the mechanism that allowed Australia, Canada and other countries to be admitted into Eurovision. If you've been around the ESC scene, you know

Anthropic basically does at this point with Auto Mode being default. Or was that the point you were making?

Agreed. I've been using GPT-Live-1 this week, with Claude as the backend brain. It's amazing, feels like working with Jarvis. It certainly made me feel there's no point in human telephone support now - but I'm sure I&#x2

Kind of interesting just how much they're getting crushed with token API pricing. Right now the revenue isn't even covering their token costs. But if they were able to run on subscription (probably against ToS) or use Deepseek V4.

That's the startup, though the SF market store is still running and open. It looks like their AI-run cafe in Sweden is still running for now as well.

shrug I upvoted, I'd already seen the Pion announcement on Twitter and read the link. I'm also a regular listener of Andon FM, so I'm interested in what they do and it's nice to finally sneak a peak at the interface th

Understood, and I realized you'd posted this to HN yourself, so I felt a bit bad making the comment. I think maybe for me, this might have worked better if the motivation had been one separate post, and the details of the gotchas as a

TLDR: Local models have a smaller context window, so your 35kB prompts that worked fine against a hosted 1 Million token window, crash out when you only have a 65K (!) token window locally. I dislike being negative, but I was really hoping

I'm on Twitter and Carmack doesn't seem to talk about it much. Feels like a skunkworks. If there were enough clues made public, it seems others (OpenAI) would be able to take that info and scoop the insight first.

Depends what you're coding! If you've got code where you don't mind them training on it, that's great! But some people have use cases where they are working with data or code that shouldn't be trained on, etc. The N

Just a reminder that if you want to try this via OpenRouter, DeepSeek openly trains on all of your prompts. So maybe don't go using this to solve the last unforced step of Navier-Stokes. (Or wait until some other providers start hostin

Neat idea for a website! My tiny search indexer is going through now, and not finding any problems with indexing your site so far. If you see a Go program in your logs accessing with a 10 second delay between each page... hi! :D Looking at

If you're only concerned about Google, then that's probably all you need to / can do. It won't even matter to Google whether or not you put a "Sitemap:" line in your robots.txt if you submitted it directly with

Me again! I couldn't figure out why I was getting transient errors on that Poe2wiki sitemap, so I tried looking at other sitemaps on the site. I'm getting transient errors on all of them. Then I realized - the sitemap files are be

Some of this might just be problems with the websites themselves. With the Path Of Exile 2 Wiki example, I'm looking at the sitemaps. Once you get through the first sitemap of nested sitemaps (ugh, not a fan of those), the very first a

Have you added a robots.txt and a sitemap.xml, even an RSS file? While I don't know if this will help with Google, I have my own tiny dumb search indexer, and a sitemap is by far the easiest way for me to index an entire website. I&#

Do you find any of the general use skills useful? I'm not sure I've ever used any of them, and when I've looked at them it's been some YouTuber trying to make money. That, and their Substack. I know everyone's down

I'm sad about the lyrics restrictions. I used to have interesting conversations with Claude about music, and songwriting and lyrics. I don't see how my use was harming artists, if anything Claude was introducing me to new artists
