Well, my answer was partially tongue in cheek. However, under the circumstances I mentioned I had better results with a local model. But then up to today I really like Deepseek for dev - for me and my use cases it still outperforms Opus. Th

They use the ECI - EpochAI Capability Index. Measured by the DCI the Chinese AI models are about 1.5 years ahead of US models. DCI = Dust42 Capability Index: MBP Max 64GB, Qwen3-80B MLX 4bit quant, 40 tokens per second. It is not on Claude

Actually you are right. The world first super-intelligence AI was also created there, just 7 months ago. Also by Marko. This man is from another world. Watch yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilgJKjiDLV8

> Concerning range though, I think their estimate is pretty fair as far as the marketoid speech goes -- it can be 600 km I don't know what 'real world range' means to you. A bike of this size uses roughly 9kWh/100km.

I wouldn't call it an outright scam. But yes, you pay yourself a nice salary, travel around the world to meet potential OEMs, you may fly in private jets, you stay in fancy hotels, you have business meetings in Michelin star restaurant

This is just marketing nonsense. You don't have to train models to not retain personal information. They simply have no memory. In order to have a chat with an LLM, every time the whole conversation history gets reprocessed - it is not

Oh my goodness yes, I almost missed it that the text is (mostly?) AI written. That said I agree that LMArena elo scores are pushing models in the wrong direction. They move more towards McDonald's than quality food.

Sounds too good to be true. Seriously, if the CEO had any proof, he wouldn't need to hang out on CES. He would be showered with billions of $$$ and investors would fly in from all over the world. Instead he is selling motor cycles? Har

Ouch. A soulless AI voice talking about Arduino - once a creative hacker's tool/toy: people with enthusiasm. Now this. Welcome to the brave new world.

I intentionally didn't say AI but LLM because for me the word 'intelligence' is misleading. But LLMs are definitely a leap forward in NLP and what other word for 'comprehension' would you use?

The question is, can SV extract several trillion dollars out of the global economy over the next few years with the help of LLMs and GPUs? And the follow-up question: will LLMs help grow the global economy by this amount - because if not, t

A big problem was certainly that Linux on commodity boxes became an industry standard. In 2000 it was still seen by many corporations as hobbyist amateur system. But then Google & Co introduced them into the corporate world and for many

OpenAI has 800,000,000 weekly users but only 20,000,000 are paying while 780,000,000 are free riding. Should they by accident under provision then they could simply remove the freebee and raise the prices for the paying clients. But that is

Thus in China a 600KWh truck is 85.000€ while in Germany an eActros with 600KWh is 290.000€ (w/o VAT) [1]. Consumption is 100-120KW/h per 100km. The range is then up to 500km / 310 miles. Electricity price for industry is 0.1

My absolute personal favourite is Toccata and Fugue played by organist Hans-André Stamm on the Trost-Organ of the Stadtkirche in Waltershausen [1]. Great videography, great organ and very expressive organist. From 3:28 on you can also see t

Still it would be a lot wiser if all the forkers would do one 'AI-enabled' fork together that exposes all the extras that copilot gets. The barrier for testing would be much lower and all the extension makers would also jump onto
