Exactly, there’s very little detail here. I’ve been a user for a long time and had no idea they were part of CBS. Also… independent? Come on, most businesses on Earth are ‘independent’. They don’t need “support”, they’re a business, they ne

Right now, self-hosting is too expensive if you’re starting from scratch. We have an old EliteDesk that can run the most basic of models, but it doesn’t feel like it’s worth it. Electricity is also quite expensive in many places, it adds up

If you wrote this yourself, congratulations are in order. I was genuinely annoyed. It’s not easy. It’s hard. It’s not entertaining. It’s infuriating.

Plenty of people turned off the iPhone thingie once they figured out where the setting was (kinda buried). Plenty of people don’t like logos. And some do, because they tie their identity with brands. Maybe in the future some of us will tie

I think they should point out the “clear and important benefits” they’d bring. Corporate PR is fucking hollow.

I cannot imagine the mental loopholes the creators go through in order to sleep at night. This is bottom of the barrel stuff, we don’t need it anywhere in Europe.

And yet, increase consumption too much too quickly and you end up with influencers that talk about constipation and haemorrhoids, and how fibre causes IBS. (I agree with your points btw.)

I agree. I didn’t mean to be too critical. But if they’d made something simpler, I think it would save them tokens and end up more likely to convince their target audience of developers. (The series of ‘motherfucking websites’ comes to mind

Advisor-mode has been very helpful indeed, I can now plan with Opus, have Haiku code, and escalate back to Opus for review. It’s a decent flow for Pro subscribers trying to max their usage. But as I’ve said above, sometimes it’s not worth i

iOS still thinks I really, really mean ‘bexause’ instead of ‘because’, so your typo barely registered. My only gripe with SIB was terribly low deliverability to Outlook, even with full config.

Hmm, if we conceive of some states as ideal for humans, then states which aren’t ideal are those we might want to treat. We don’t have to cure them, nor be cruel in our handling of people. But we also don’t have to pretend that autism is th

Passkeys cannot be cryptographically reset, but plenty of providers have account recovery flows in case you lose your passkey. Without a recovery mechanism you’d be technically locked out, that’s true.

The article is fairly good. He specifically addresses research that doesn't support the conclusion. He’s not exactly a random blogger, this person is known for the quality of their research. At least in my circles…

Did you get proper tool use? Some CC-driven models seem to get a bit off when it comes to MCP usage. For example: I really struggled to get Kimi to use Serena, which I think ended up costing too many tokens.

(Zero reason to defend Anthropic.) I’ve gone that route. I really wanted to stop using Claude, but Deepseek v4 Pro and Kimi 2.6 didn’t do the job. For a lot of coding tasks or well-specced plans, maybe… but then that’s a plan made by Opus a

A lot of LLM-driven design now looks like this. I don’t understand how people don’t find ugly the pairings with an heavily italicised serif. You also can’t read much of the page on mobile, because the code example keeps shifting the content

We’ve also done true intelligence a disservice by using AI to name the current implementation of LLMs. It’s stretching ‘intelligence’ quite a bit. They can be super useful, but we’ve downplayed how phenomenal the human brain is. I really li

But why will LLMs get this right when Web-of-Trust and blacklists didn’t? For a long time we’ve had different heuristics to detect abuse, and it’s always been a losing battle. E.g. an extension that sends requests to an IP. Do you block al
