That's one of the possible explanations, but I think too many people are seeing the same symptoms (and some actually measured them). An "economical explanation" is actually that Anthropic subscriptions are heavily subsidized

Mhm. I think I use that. But then I say "call my wife" and it says "you'll need to unlock your iphone first". It's clear Tim Cook doesn't ever try to use Siri wearing gloves. Or ever, for that matter :-)

That is very, very interesting. I've been hoping to have an assistant in the workshop (hands-free!) that I could talk to and have it help me with simple tasks: timers, calculating, digging up notes, etc. — basically, what the phone ass

Why would I assume Schroeder is the only politician under the influence of Russia or any of the fossil-fuel industry businesses?

I realize there is a lot of verbal gymnastics going on around this issue, and the word "renewables" is being used a lot, but my point still stands. Another way to look at your numbers is that had the nuclear plants not been turned

Hmm. After former chancellor (Schroeder) heavily pushed Russian gas pipelines (Nord Stream 1 and 2) and then swiftly moved to working for Russian state-owned energy companies, including Nord Stream AG, Rosneft, and Gazprom, I have a differe

No, they can't, not unless we get rid of the fossil fuel lobby, which pretty much runs the world these days. Which isn't surprising, given that fossil fuels are the largest industry ever created by mankind. If you compare it to an

There is none, I never said PoE is "bad": it's a very good solution, it's just difficult to implement.

Have you tried? I have. I just checked: my product has been "Waiting for review" since July 15, 2025. No wonder us Europeans get laughed at when it comes to speed and execution.

I found it impossible to add a European project to it.

I never understood the logic behind the thinking there. Why would you ever want to place menubar items UNDER the notch, if you know it's there and they won't be visible? It's such an easy problem to fix, with such incredible

PoE is not obvious to implement (take it from someone who has done it with a fair share of mistakes), uses more expensive components that normal ethernet, takes up more space on the board, makes passing emissions certification more complex,

Really looking forward to testing and benchmarking this on my spam filtering benchmark. gemma-3-27b was a really strong model, surpassed later by gpt-oss:20b (which was also much faster). qwen models always had more variance.

This is such a waste of effort. Your E-mail address is not and can't be a secret. It will get into spammer databases eventually, no matter what you do. You will spend a lot of effort doing all these fancy tricks, and eventually you wil

Two things: 1) MLX has been available in LM Studio for a long time now, 2) I found that GGUF produced consistently better results in my benchmarking. The difference isn't big, but it's there.

I've been running my business for 10 years now, relying on Clojure and ClojureScript. It is amazing to be able to base one's livelihood on a foundation that is so stable and well designed. Clojure has been designed by a very smart

An interesting and sad aspect of the war on bots and scraping that is being waged is that we are hurting ourselves in the process, too. Many tasks I'm trying to get my AI assistant to do cannot be done quickly, because sites defensivel
