Everyone is talking about basic income as an experiment and wondering about its impact on productivity and human behavior. And everyone talks about hypothetical scenarios and a need for massive tests, without realizing that we already have

And yet, I witnessed from personal experiences that such memes get fixed quickly. Whether with system prompts or some other way, I don't know, but they get fixed.

They had plenty of time to update their system prompts so they don't be embarrassed. I noticed whenever such meme comes out, if you check immediately you can reproduce it yourself, but after a free hours it's already updated.

Yeah, I'm sure closed source model vendors are doing everything within their power to dumb down benchmarks, so they can look like underdogs and play a pity game against open weight models. Let's have a serious discussion. Just bec

True. Once a coworker asked me why I was responding with an empty mail since my reply was at the bottom, and he didn't bother to scroll down. Since then, I gave up and just started using conventions everyone else is using. The goal is

I don't know for France, but in Germany, they did everything they could to reduce Girocard usage. Today, every bank offers Visa debit, but if you want Girocard, it's difficult to find a bank that offers it. There's nothing wr

The main issue is that you don't need children anymore. Previously, your children were: - your workforce - your retirement plan - your elderly care plan - your security - your private army Now, when all these things don't apply an

No every, you just don't know it ;) There was a recent case of one Serbian company being sanctioned by the USA, and Visa and Master refused to process payments. No big deal, since even a small country like Serbia has its payment system

I'd rather have a GNU Taler based system (private for consumers, transparent for the business), but given the overextending urge to destroy any remaining privacy by EU governments, I doubt it would ever happen. Instead, we are getting

I've been using MiniMax-M2.1 lately. Although benchmarks show it comparable with Kimi 2.5 and Sonnet 4.5, I find it more pleasant to use. I still have to occasionally switch to Opus in Opencode planning mode, but not having to rely on

Yes, OpenAI is a random development tool vendor. In the same way Volkswagen is a random sausage vendor. Do you drink your Coca Cola directly from the Coca Cola packaged bottle? Or do you prefer to sip it in the cup of your choice and drink

I find Claude Code bloated and a bit clunky. Those same Claude models work better in Opencode, where I can also combine them with other providers. The fact that Anthropic recently started blocking their coding plans usage from other tools i

by miroljub 9mo ago
Given the prevalence of Opencode and its ability to use any model and provider I don't see reason why would anyone bother with random vendors half-assed tools.

Don't you understand that paying even one cent to Redeit (or any other social media) would completely deanonymise it? So yeah, I'd rather live with spam than with whatever public online identities give any government.

> Now I have him muted on X. Props to him for letting people mute him on his own platform. The issue with Sam and OpenAI is they their bias on any controversional topic can't be switched off.

by miroljub 9mo ago
If you don't use Antrophic models there's no reason to use Claude Code at all. Opencode gives so much more choice.

Well, Minimax was the equivalent of Sonnet in my testing. If Kimi approach Opus, that would be great.
258.
by miroljub 9mo ago
I've been quite satisfied lately with MiniMax M-2.1 in opencode. How does Kimi 2.5 compare to it in real world scenarios?

No, just don't. Given the Mozilla track records and bias, looks like they need another woke LLM that is woker and DEI-er (is that even a word?) than the existing major models. I'd rather they focus on finally bringing Firefox back

I don't know where your impression about benchmaxxing comes from. Why would you assume closed models are not benchmaxxing? Being closed and commercial, they have more incentive to fake it than the open models.

Yep. Just doing memcpy or mmap would be even faster. But the same Rust advocates bragging about Rust speed frown upon such unsecure practices in C/C++.

That's the same fallacy as claiming that rich people save money by donating to charity. Simple example: - Germany gives 100 € to other EU states - Those states 100 € to buy made in Germany goods - German companies have 10 € profits fro

Not related to the comment, but in general I agree with you. You can't have a single monetary system without complete unification, including tax systems, budgeting systems, governance models, retirement systems, benefits. I mean, you c

Can you please explain (ELI style) the great benefits German taxpayers have from the bicycle lanes in Peru?

Just because you accusse people to be "right wingers" because they don't want to fund bicycle lanes in foreign countries doesn't make them wrong. If you want to fund bicycle lanes in foreign countries, go start a fund an
