Long term, getting locked into proprietary software development tools is a bad idea. And these models are extremely proprietary. The ability of the US Government to cancel them at any time is one real recent example of one category of probl

However true that is, it now has only to compete with the US, where any model could be shut down by the Government on a whim with no clear rules at any time. It's happened once, could happen any time. Not good for business!

LLMs are reducing n-day exploit time rapidly. https://red.anthropic.com/2026/n-days/ So that is a poor bandaid to use now. Maybe instead validate things before, and have more of a cathedral and human reputation sy

They can't under GDPR. The DMA is for market access - there are other laws for privacy. Those require use commensurate with what is needed for the service, so anyone who e.g. scraped all of a user's local info and stolen it would

Right the original article says "Do you think macOS will get better or worse in the next 2 years?" (rhetorically implying "worse"). That could easily be true and Apple "will use even more tokens and spend even mor

Well, or not spawn any external commands, and actually have tools made of code written by someone who thought about what the agents at each level should be limited to doing.

Make harness independent of model, so when pricing or quality changes you can switch. Avoid lock in to stack from one provider (things like a harness that only works with models from one provider and so on). Use local models (a couple of th

Reporters without Borders recently released Press Freedom Index 2026 puts Malta 67th, and the UK at 18. So no, certainly not much better - although looking at some of the historic data, it was better e.g. in 2010. https://rsf.or

Agreed. All I see is a grok summary of a lot of X posts. The original link is not suitable. Anyone have a link to a proper announcement?

I was finding this really interesting, that maybe a human had written it and it really reflected a vision for how we build software in this new world. I want to know the way, I'm curious! Until I got to "One platform, three modes.

I've tested this extensively in a workflow (not agentic) context, and you're right, the underlying models are both good at full rewrite of code files, and at doing search/replace. They've been decent at full rewrite for

Qwen 3.6 is out now and a touch better than 3.5. I'm finding Google's Gemma 4 even better though - seems to hold up the agentic loop better than Qwen. All will load into 20Gb of VRAM. None are amazing, but they do just about work.

Looks pretty real: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/blob/7f90d0ca342b92... When this started it really put me off X - I'd have tolerated, and almost liked the idea, of a freedom of speeech place.

I tried Mistral for a bit, and it is so fast everything else feels bad now by comparison. I think there's lots of opportunity for OpenAI, Anthropic to stumble on features and performance.

The spikes in the last 2 years have happened for very short amounts of time. If renewables are working, you don't get a spike, and save loads on this tariff. The small amount of time they're not, you sometimes have to pay more, bu

Have you tried switching to Agile Octopus tariff? My electricity cost has gone down 1/3rd since I did that. I also installed smart radiator thermostats, and knocked about 1/3rd off gas heating cost.

I use that tariff, with no home battery or home solar or electric car. Saves about 1/3rd off my electricity bill. My only behaviour change has been to not run the washing machine 4pm-8pm. It's great! I assume I'll get hit by

It doesn't solve all the problems at library boundaries, but pyright is fairly new and vastly vastly better than mypy. With it Python feels about at the type safety level of Typescript - not as good as a language that had types the who

Thanks, got it! Think I need a deeper article on this - as comment below says you'd then need to load the request specific state in instead.

by frabcus 1y ago
This seems a bit complicated to me. They don't serve very many models. My assumption is they just dedicate GPUs to specific models, so the model is always in VRAM. No loading per request - it takes a while to load a model in anyway. Th
