I stopped using Fable and Opus 5 because I literally can't understand the output. The waffle is so intense it no longer makes sense. I don't understand who is using those to get real work done. I'm using kimi-k3 on a real hig

Glimmer is fun because it's fast, tight, and doesn't wander or waffle. My favourite local model so far.

Why do you say "randomly fails"? Do you consider a configurable timeout with an exception to be a random failure?

What do you want it to do under those conditions then? Stall pathologically?

by chr15m 2mo ago
Good point. The number of times is zero. Probably something that should be implemented defensively at the library level. I guess most developers don't realise this can happen (I did not).

If a regex runs too long just kill it and show the user an error.

I'm really sorry. I hope you are doing ok. Nobody should have to experience that.

Do you actually think a railing on a balcony is the same as collecting the private information of minors in a centralised database? Please, stay far far away from my children. They do not need your help.

I agree that we must bring back villages. "Village-wide" is probably the exact right dimensions for any given policy, if you mean a literal village.

Yes, it is an egregious attack on the privacy and safety of minors.

The only constituency who matters is their parents and guardians. If parenting and guardianship is failing, then help them be better.

The right people to protect children are those responsible for them - their parents and guardians. If there is a problem with children not being sufficiently protected, that is the level at which to solve it. Give families tools and informa

It's true and so it makes sense to be a bit picky about what you read. A great many non-fiction books should probably be blog posts or articles for example.

"Inference" is just software running. It has always cost money to run software, it's just that it is generally too cheap to matter. If a client makes a regular API call to your server, you pay for that compute, probably in th

In the age of LLMs this seems more prescient than ever.

Why would you say that? It's incredibly useful technology that also lies. It's not binary. There are tradeoffs. Just be careful.

Sometimes it's important to rigorously investigate and prove "obvious" things. Sometimes those things turn out to not be obvious. That's part of good science.
