This is definitely not my experience with GLM-5.2. It is writing pretty good ARM SIMD code. It also is an excellent radare2/rizin/ghidra driver as well. Maybe it's because its ~ cyber ~ capabilities (pretty much linked with a

I'm Brazilian and I had never connected "insha'Allah" to "oxalá". Wow, TIL. At least we were taught in school that if a word starts with "al" then there is a big chance it has roots in Arabic.

Still, somebody heavily funded this thing for too long, and I very much doubt that we don't have the surveillance apparatus in place today for these things to get unchecked. Stuff is known but not acted upon for various reasons.

I also make nerdy jokes/puns, and I had similar experiences with beneficial model steering that such puns create. It's interesting how more loose/informal prompting achieves good results, there is some cultural understanding

They claimed the model was PhD-level, but they never mentioned the university the model graduated from... :)

I currently have a free trial AI Pro subscription that will run out next month. If it weren't for the $10 GCP credit, I'd straight away cancel it. I don't see enough value in Gemini to justify the $20 subscription.

Where are you sourcing the API from? I have zero quality issues on Z.ai Coding Plan and maki.sh as the coding agent, but I've seen many reports on 3rd party providers that they host heavily quantized versions of GLM models.

I imagine they're not spying for fun...

I feel the same. I feel Anthropics' raw models are excellent, but Claude Code's bloat make them lose some potential. This and I very much miss reading the chain of thought. At least I have it on GLM-5.2.

Happy to disagree with you. There are many examples of the US using the state espionage machinery for private purposes. The extent of "private" is debatable given the US as a nation behaves more like a big corp. https:/&#x2F

You can trade-off cable shielding for electronics power and corresponding heat to encode/decode stuff. Ethernet is notoriously power hungry, but I bet you can use a phone cable and still get tens of Gb over a very short range.

And then there are the crappy devices that aren't compliant with USB PD and only charge with a USB-C to USB-A cable.

For me it depends, if I simply take the answer from the LLM it goes straight into the shortest memory neurons my brain has. Now, if I go back and forth with the LLM to say, taking the language learning example, to explore the etymology of t

I had a professor who polled the class if we preferred our exams to be open book or not. First year of undergrad. The midterm was open book, he even shared the previous year's exams. The final, as expected, closed book, thank you very

Exactly! It got so easy nowadays to use AI to setup scenarios since the busy work of writing code/test harnesses and setting things up for the benchmark is done by the machine. Then throw away what does not work. Some benchmark that wo

by rescbr 3mo ago
For me, them allowing API usage on coding plans so we can use any harness, and returning the full unabridged reasoning back are how they earned my trust.

by rescbr 3mo ago
Weird. I have seen it asking the harness to do `find ~ -type f | grep` to try and find my agent configuration .json file when I asked it to add a MCP server. Stupid, but they weren't sending the files back home. This was with older mod

Now, where are the people afraid of the Chinese AI companies, who claim they are going to copy their very precious code...?

I assume they can spy on anything, that's why I refuse to do any kind of BYOD that requires MDM enrollment. It's also one IT mistake away from wiping out my personal data from my own property. Company's Outlook, Teams, MS Aut

My first phone that had a (rear) camera 20 years ago also had a chrome-plated mirror thing to help us take selfies. I guess nobody called them selfies then. I guess point and shoot cameras also had those mirrors back then. Glad to know that

Nah, I live in a major city between two airports, under an airplane departure and a heli route. I can't really launch rockets or balloons from my home. When I was at uni I didn't have the funds for this hobby unfortunately.

You can use a FPGA, like this 2013 project: http://www.aholme.co.uk/GPS/Main.htm Or go old school (1991-1992): https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/navsats/theory.html So yeah, this regulation is a

Of course not, those are clearly scams. On marketplaces, no matter the country, caveat emptor, as always. My problem with buying SSDs on AliE is with reasonably priced products that use NAND chips with no consideration for their quality gra

Solar panels + cooling + heating heat pump is the most logical combination as we are past the point of no return on global warming. And there's no need to be like the Americans that cool down to 18°C when the outside is > 35°C: simp
