Why price per request? What’s a request made of to cause GLM Flash to be 10x cheaper?

5M tokens regardless of “type”? Because then it takes a very good harness to not destroy that quota just with over-eager inputs.

You make some good points, but 3 issues: 1) If training a model on IP theft is stealing, distillation has the same ethical base and we can’t really complain there. 2) While Chinese companies have some protection, they still have to uphold t

From my experience (~10M tokens on each): Opus remains better at more or less everything, and seems to hold its own better in large context work. It’s also more thorough. And usually can fix the weirdest of bugs, GLM is a bit hit and miss.

Maybe they’re not “hard” to build, but some are sufficiently complex because they’re tailored to a model. If Z thinks their harness can improve on GLM’s shortcomings, that can give them a tiny edge, I guess? Dunno. I’ve moved to Pi for most

Most natives aren’t C2. Heck, a vast proportion of natives aren’t C1. Your standard is silly. B2 is conversational + able to hold a discussion about theoretical concepts in multiple temporal forms. That’s plenty.

See? Whatever bar you set, someone is upset. I agree with you, but demanding A2 is maybe a starting point, and incentivising B1 works well. One issue is how the standard applies to different languages. A2 in French is enough to get by a

We get NAÏF and other stuff from our kid directly from the brand. Sure, their websites are a bit lame and you gotta make a few accounts, but we end up getting nice promotions and good service. The alternative is “here’s 450 other matches to

This sounds so obvious…Decathlon’s and Leroy Merlin’s 3rd-party sellers made their webshops a nightmare. Why would I go to Decathlon to buy from 3rd parties? We already had, like, 200 marketplaces for that.

I’m done with Amazon, but unless something changed in the past year, buying through them is actually inconvenient. The return experience is great, because it has to be. You buy so much crap because of drop-shippers and their search is atroc

Oh, we definitely hate them A LOT in Belgium, for what they did to the historic district. The revamped EU district is an ugly, inefficient, traffic-heavy abomination. It’s crazy that we destroyed all the Art Deco and Art Nouveau townhouses

What is the acceptable number of, say, tortured people, before this becomes an issue for you? What if your math is a little off and exactly one person dies? Are you okay with that? We have to draw the line somewhere .

That is certainly an improvement then. Sonnet 4.6 is a great everyday agent for the limited Pro plan, but it’s not much better than M3 or Kimi 2.7, both significantly cheaper models.

Not sure about music, but I’ve dated an author and her contract was for 10% royalties, and she had to arrange any payments to other rights-holders (e.g. photographer) but not the editor.

Have there been situations were licenses are mass revoked? That would be quite nasty, I don’t recall any. My licenses to Things, Alfred, Little Snitch, etc. still work to this day. They don’t even bother with upselling.

Okay, but who do you donate to in the case of a movie or show? Because for authors and musicians I agree with your take. I wish more musicians were on Bandcamp, and more authors sold e-books directly from their website.

Yeah, I know. That’s why I say that no one is ever happy with where you set the limit. I think demanding A2 in language is reasonable, for example. Yes, demanding, even if it’s in a reasonably long timespan. We demand much more out of every

That’s… a tough one. Bit of a loaded question. I would say “don’t engage in anti-social behaviour regardless of the cultural milieu”, I’m sure NI has much better traditions to partake in?
