It never ceases to amaze me the contortions some people put themselves through to make this US administration seem sane or even vaguely interested in the flourishing of Europe, Canada or the wider west.

I think you should do the work of making it apparent why someone should use this over lutris. Frankly, most people have neither the bandwidth nor interest to research people’s projects and understand the value proposition. Speaking from bit

While I still object to them having a say in that matter (next thing is; we don’t serve darkies) - that is different. There are hundreds of shops to get that cake from. But Anthropic and “Open”AI especially are firing on all bullshit cylind

It's not either-or, necessarily. Yes, we have a pays-as-you-go pension system in Denmark (sigh). But regulations were also changed a while back such that employees must pay into a pension scheme of their own. In our case, that's h

Yes, but also no. Pension funds around these parts are big, we are often forced to pay into them. Years ago, I noticed they started advertising green funds. Would not be surprised to see options that exclude the US too. If you look at Trump

Same issue (I am Danish). Have you tested alternatives? I grabbed Open Code and a Minimax m2.1 subscription, even just the 10usd/mo one to test with. Result? We designed a spec for a slight variation of a tool for which I wrote a spec

Poor thing, talk about going in the wrong direction :) Impressive though.

Because every other agreement we have made with him on tariffs or Ukraine, every other appeasement, has done nothing to sway him from his actual course. Contrary to popular thinking (and it is a nicer fantasy), he is not an inconsistent, em

If you compare them to Finnish or Norse arctic troops and if it ever came to combat, yes, this isn’t the place a US soldier would want to be. (Hehe, ow, sowwie about triggering someone’s feelings. Fun to see that jingoism should have safe s

I hear this said, but never substantiated. Indeed, I think our big issue right now is making actual benchmarks relevant to our own workloads. Due to US foreign policy, I quit claude yesterday and picked up minimax m2.1 We wrote a whole desi

Well, for one, you may have noticed that MS put in the work, over years, to make .NET the same implementation across all three platforms. So that’s at least one pillar of impossibility removed.

From Reuters: “ The extra imports represent 1.6% of EU beef consumption and 1.4% for poultry”. Maybe take a deep breath and relax a bit before storming the ramparts. This is a slight adjustment not something undercutting all EU farming.

Oh absolutely, I adore most every country of the EU, maybe except Hungary and recently... Slovakia. But in principle, I think the EU, some voting forms, and a federal army is necessary if we desire any degree of self-determination.

Made a Ask HN, but screwed it up by editing the text. Anyway, good ideas/tools for evaluating LLMs ? Naturally, as a Dane, I am moving away from Claude, but I’d like more than a gut feel about how much I may have given up to do so.

by pseudony 9mo ago
Same, though, as a Dane, I must express preference for Norway, Sweden and Finland (and Iceland), obviously :) I hope his antics do nothing except push us closer together.

Ask HN: How do you evaluate a LLM these days?

I know I’ll get downvoted for this but it needs saying. I don’t think the allies made any exemptions for the German that wrote their representatives in the lead-up to and during the second world war. All got stuck with the bill, 6 million g

Small countries lack agency and international law is being repurposed as toilet paper right now. Look at Ukraine, look at Greenland. Your view is demonstrably proven wrong. As for cost of living, name a developed country, big or small, wher

It is not a popularity issue. If it were, company after company would have switched as soon as they could make it work (office365, outlook online, whatever SAAS they use, none care about their desktop, only the browser, and all major browse

I think this project actually has merit and highlights the core issue. We have gone through one perceived reason after the other to try and explain why the year of the Linux desktop wasn’t this one. Uncharitably, Linux is too busy breaking

I wonder how. Everything I let claude code majorly write, whether Go, F#, C or Python, I end up eventually at a point where I systematically rip it apart and start writing it over. In my study days, we talked of “spikes”. Software or compon

Try telling the boomer generation that they have to work in the city center, for a salary insufficient for suitable housing (read: space for children) close by. Then, while remote-work could work, tell them they can’t, instead, push then to

This has been covered ad nauseam, but since rust advocacy has waded into enough discussions about code in other languages to lecture people on performance and safety, it has naturally pushed some to find a bit of satisfaction in commenting

He actually addressed your point by pointing out that, in his view, the models this machine can run today are the worst it’ll ever be - he thinks, and my own experience over the last year, is that local models improve and at a pace which is

I’ve heard it said and I won’t argue your personal experience. However, I don’t see it that way at all. I find claude much more capable of writing large chunks of python or react/js frontend code than writing F#, a very statically type

Maybe the model just wasn’t multi-modal back then ;)

Not to be too harsh, but if that’s your (fundamentalist) attitude to software, remind me to argue strenuously to never have you hired where I work. Fact is you can’t rewrite everything all the time, especially the bits that power the core

Aside from there being no crises, rewriting a set of utilities with nearly no bug reports for years and for which no new features is needed accomplishes what exactly? Aside from new bugs, that is. There surely would be a more beneficial u

In a way, as America turns hostile to its erstwhile allies, it is kind of nice to see it continuously trip over itself. A form of schadenfreude combined with relief that the knife it wants to thrust into the global community is blunted some

Oh yes, I was really missing an Apartheid AI. .... Guess its time to switch everyone. Sueprising they thought thst 300M was enough. I think they seriously underestimate how Musk's name is perceived in the EU, for example.
