Yeah. I'm actively avoiding giving mr far right any $$

I have, but honestly that was exactly what I am not looking for. Sometimes it picked a model for a Dutch email that totally does not support Dutch. Other times it would work fine. It's just a layer of indeterminism I wasn't lookin

I'm wondering, is there a tool or something out there that helps me pick a model, in the vast sea of models out there these days? Every time I need a model for something I see the list on openrouter and I'm completely overwhelmed.

No. If you're making maps and building a database of facts, I think the possibility of hallucinations is actively harmful.

Yeah they sent an official looking mail saying that someone took action against my review and that it was therefore removed.

Another thing they apparently do is let business owners (e.g. hotels) remove negative reviews because they're "defamatory". I had a very factual 3-star review on a hotel that was supposedly very quiet, but was super noisy and

And on top of that, we've all seen how confidently LLM's get things wrong. I've seen them get better, but even the current SOTA models fumble. Why would you want to send a bot a message "sure, reschedule my flight"

So I can turn it on using Home Assistant reliably.

And find --exec too.

Oh and don't forget: it keeps chaining a bazillion commands together so any whitelisted commands still need approval because they're nested in such a convoluted way.

LinkedIn too. The first time they show a bottom sheet dialog thing on the website, and if you dismiss it, it scrolls you all the way to the top. The second time it appears, it messes with the page and sometimes automatically closes the tab.

Yeah I've seen it a lot. It goes through the effort, unasked, of pulling screenshots off a connected device and then it's like... Oh shit yeah I can't see.

That's cool. I often write tiny blurbs of kotlin just to test out a simple algorithm. I often do this on kotlin playground because doing so inside a scratch file or test is somehow more cumbersome and slow. This ran and compiled someth

I had the same sentiment. In my limited testing, it didn't perform any better than Opus at all. It wasn't a particularly challenging taskset either, mostly just "add this simple feature" with plenty of context and very c

That's what stood out to me as well, and it struck me as odd that nobody seemed to think it's odd? Almost half of the points to be made is related to contributions to open source projects. Guess my 10+ years of experience in a nic

That's what I mean with the promise. Nobody knows what they're doing on their end. The data goes over the wire, and then you need to assume they are true to their word and the data is not intercepted by anyone.

by mavamaarten 4mo ago
It is. Not per sé because the code might be of poor quality, but because someone sent that source code to a public API under the promise that oh noooo we won't use your code for training. Probably.

Yeah the slowness is what always gets me. Like in essence a ticketing system isn't more than just a database of tickets and relations between tickets and states. And okay you can kinda make it explode by having tons of interconnected t

I'm honestly not really that surprised by that. All (except clothes) are prime examples of products where you don't really care who sells it to you and how it looks in the packaging. People want a certain product and want it the c

Yeah especially the AI stuff is so... not a driving force for anyone to buy this? For me, unless you can run LLM's and whatnot locally (which is not the case on this undisclosed low-end hardware), "AI" just means doing some A

I'm super techy but I admit that I just use Signal to send me a "Note to self" whenever I need a file from my phone on my computer quickly. For images I just use immich, but texting myself is honestly the quickest way for fil

Yup! All good ideas and solutions to hard problems, after becoming stuck, have come to me after a good night's sleep or after removing myself from the "thinking place" and taking a break. Yes I mean the toilet. Many fantastic

Haha I got "for you, turquoise is green" and I was like... Yeah, is it not?
25.
by mavamaarten 5mo ago
Has it, though? There's still features that bring large user value and require 10 lines of code, and features that bring a small user value and require AI to burn tokens on huge refactors and babying to make sure it doesn't break

Well good for you, but that doesn't change the fact that I can't use it. Everything is a mishmash of the old Assistant and Gemini. Sometimes even my Google Home answers in the old Assistant voice (you know... "Sorry, I don&#x

Well. Running your machine to do inference will utilize more than 50W sustained load, I'd say more than double that. Plus electricity is more expensive here (but granted, I do have solar panels). Plus don't forget to factor in tha

Haha yeah. I once asked it to make a field in an API response nullable, and to gracefully handle cases where that might be an issue (it was really easy, I was just lazy and could have done it myself, but I thought it was the perfect task fo

I was thinking the same. Plagiarism as a service, lol

I'm growing allergic to the hype train and the slop. I've watched real-life talks about people that sent some prompt to Claude Code and then proudly present something mediocre that they didn't make themselves to a whole audie
