What is Bambu’s motivation here? What do they get for damaging their credibility like this? Just usage data? Training a model on everyone’s STL files?

Amazing thank you. Allows me to quote my favourite art anecdote: When Picasso was interrogated by an SS officer about his painting Guernica, “Did you do that?” Picasso replied, “No, you did.”

Reminds me of the terminus agent/harness on the terminal-bench coding benchmark - they just send send keystrokes to a tmux session. They score pretty well. https://www.tbench.ai/news/terminus

Why does it need a dialog? Just save the file AND copy it to clipboard. If user wants to annotate they can paste or go get the file.

For me its the fact a large chunk of my terminal experience is over limited bandwidth connections to laggy servers with varying feature support. I appreciate the eye candy and what they have achieved but I don't need it, I just want TU

I’m fascinated by the confidence in the cyborg theory that there will always be value in having a human in the loop. Especially for domains like code where the inputs and outputs are bits not atoms. This is exactly what chess experts like K

For younger kids I can heartily recommend the Hobbit illustrated by Jemima Catlin- has plenty of pictures to them engaged. Read it to my 6 year old and we’re now excited for LotR.

Anna’s Archive has largely flown under the radar by focusing on books. Even perceived involvement in music piracy puts a much bigger target on their back from far more aggressive actors (RIAA, major labels)

I'm curious what percentage of claude/codex users this is true for - I assumed their business models rely on this not being true for the majority.

It's a 1.7 trillion token free model. Why wouldn't you try it? I've been testing free models for coding hobby projects after I burnt through way too many expensive tokens on Replit and Claude. Grok wasn't great, kept get

Openrouter has an apps tab. If you look at the free, non-coding models, some apps that feature are: janitor.ai, sillytavern, chub.ai. I'd never heard of them but people seem to be burning millions of tokens enjoying them.

Check out chessiverse (I’m not affiliated just found from YouTubers). They purport to be a collection of bots that play like humans with human-like mistakes matched to ELO levels. I like it so far - the main value for me (vs lichess/ch

I’m confused, is bangle js manufacturing new hardware (and is that open with schematics, bom, gerbers) or just shucking an existing cheap Chinese smart watch (SMA Q3)?

This. My guess/conspiracy theory is that Spotify has cut deals with record companies that pay less on subsequent listens to a track so the repetitive radio algorithms are more profitable.
