I think it was written mostly by AI, but with a lot more human intervention than the average AI written article, so it doesn't bother me as much as usual.

These "real world" examples are nothing like the way I use LLMs from within a harness. GPT 5.6 Sol and Fable are clearly more impressive, but how does this translate to interactive agent use, or use under an agent orchestration fr

As others have said, they had Maemo/Meego. As the owner of a N900 myself, it was really good, but they decided not to bet on it for some inexplicable reason.

If the "final" release of Deepseek V4 Pro outperforms GLM-5.2 while maintaining the current Deepseek price, then it's going to be a marvel.

If having corruption as an euphemism for "illoyality" means we get the same kind of public investment in infrastructure in the west as China does, then I'm all for it. Seems like here we only have the corruption part, except

Interesting choices, to frame the US-Iran war in the same terms as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as if Iran was the aggressor, and to frame the invasions ("small-time infantry campaigns") of Iraq and Afghanistan, which led to m

It's astounding to me that they looked at Second Life and really thought that was the future.

Thank you for sharing this AI-written story about an AI getting banned from Twitter. It's genuinely impressive. With how predominant blue check LLM slop has become on Twitter, I did not know it was still possible to get banned for that

I've said "what the FUCK are you THINKING" more times than I can count when reading Deepseek or GLM chains-of-thought only for them to end at the correct answer. Other times, they have useful ideas there that they leave out o

Yes, and it's really grating. It's like half of all new writing is done in the same "voice" now.

The web as I knew it is already dead. It has been dead for years. I don't understand why the blog owner had the AI that wrote the article focus on technology like Flash vs HTML5, those had no bearing on what actually mattered, which we

My point was not about the safety of the code, it was about the expressiveness, which is also what the comment I replied to was about. If the parameter has an explicit type (instead of no type, as is normal in Ruby, or `void*`, which is the

I can't, as my employer owns the code, not me, but there are several examples in one of the Ruby codebases I unfortunately maintain where I can see this degeneration happen via the git history. A small 8 line method with just two param

What qualifies as a frontier model? From my personal "taste tests", I wouldn't have placed Sonnet or Kimi above Deepseek Pro or MiMo, or Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite above Deepseek Flash, but they're listed in the benchmark.

Any chance of also benchmarking a couple of more affordable Chinese models? (specifically Deepseek and Xiaomi's MiMo)

It seems unlikely that this is the case, as the author appears to be experienced, but the post reads like the author has never had to maintain a "simple" and "beautiful" function that was mangled into incomprehensibility

Claude write me a post-mortem. Make no mistakes. Add a big image of a hero banner instead of rendering it in HTML for some reason. I use AI myself (it's essentially non-optional at work right now), and it's not like this is useles

Programmers aren't documenting for Claude. Claude is documenting for Claude. Programmers are, at best, reading the documentation Claude wrote for itself to ensure there are no glaring mistakes.

That doesn't sound right. Were you using the actual Deepseek provider? The one time I spent 3 dollars on Deepseek in a day, I had 615k output tokens, 96M cache hit input tokens, and 5M cache miss output tokens.
