Obviously; the whole point of discussing on HN is to get exposed to variety of opinions and attitudes regardless of whether I mesh with them well or not; expressing IMO founded concerns about new tech is one of the reasons for commenting.

"promising lower ... negative externalities..." I drop my HN accounts when they reach certain karma threshold so that I am not surfing on my past successes but keep relevant in the present. I think you have the collector approach

In other words, EVs are used in a bait-and-switch scheme. First promising lower operating costs and negative externalities, then moving to new taxes possibly progressively increasing over time past the ICE taxation, and mandatory built-in s

In my case 95°C was without any steam; it caused me burning skin sensation and I almost collapsed after just 5 minutes, whereas pre-covid I could do 3-4 rounds of steam with towels pushing steam at me at the topmost place and last up to 20

Soon UK will start taxing EVs by distance driven which might offset many EV advantages and make their disadvantages more pronounced.

The example on the webpage seriously disadvantages one side, preferring sweat equity and valuing the price of survival in the past rather low; I don't think I would use mediator.ai as anything but an exploratory framework and not a dec

It seems like every tech company is moving towards the sweatshop model pioneered by CrossOver/Trilogy, treating engineers as human CPUs at best, monitored 24/7.

I suspect Israel and Russia are looking at each other with "You first!" so that they can start nuking and blame the other for starting it.

95 is normal where I live for Finnish saunas. Then there are other types of saunas that start lower, but Finnish are always around 95.

The usual 95"C, nothing extraordinary. Sweating after covid got impaired, I might have some thermoregulation issue.

Can anyone suggest why after covid I can't do Finnish sauna anymore? Prior to that I used to do 1-2x a week a sequence of 5x(10 minutes in sauna + 5 minutes cold water immersion + 10 minutes rest) which was absolutely great for both st

Local models on different machines with multiple RTX Pro 6000 or multiple DGX Sparks or a 512GB RAM Macstudio; the agents themselves run on that Pentium J NUC and just use exposed endpoints for local models. Forgejo for Git runs on another

I run them all on an old Pentium J (Atom) NUC with 8GB RAM, so I don't even care. Some Chinese N100 mini PC for $100 is all one needs.

DeepSeek still shows them, it sometimes says "I am ChatGPT", and Claude sometimes says "I am DeepSeek" so the distillation went both ways.

They no longer show reasoning traces and are throttling more aggressively.

This says a slightly different thing: https://x.com/alibaba_qwen/status/2044768734234243427?s=48&t... If you look, at many benchmarks the old dense model is still ahead but in couple benchmarks the new 35B dem

You should. 3.5 MoE was worse than 3.5 dense, so expecting 3.6 MoE to be superior than 3.5 dense is questionable, one could argue that 3.6 dense (not yet released) to be superior than 3.5 dense.

> Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is intended as a superior replacement of Qwen/Qwen3.5-27B Not at all, Qwen3.5-27B was much better than Qwen3.5-35B-A3B (dense vs MoE).

That's oversimplification. EU is composed of people vetted by lobbyist/old money groups, elected and approved by member countries. Their primary allegiance is not to the voter.

Management wants to get rid of people; they want to have their "wish-machine" that does what they say without any need to deal with nerds or ethical issues.

Security is questionable - if there is a framework hack available or supply-chain attack, you are in danger. However, if you have everything coded from scratch, then good luck to any attacker wasting time on your custom code instead of just

Thanks, that however addresses only a part of the problem. ARM is also suffering from no boot/initialization standard where each manufacturer does it their own way instead of what PC had with BIOS or UEFI, making ARM devices incompatib

Will RISC-V end up with the same (or even worse) platform fragmentation as ARM? Because of absence of any common platform standard we have phones that are only good for landfill once their support lifetime is up, drivers never getting upstr

With local inference on pretty decent local models we have nowadays (Qwen-3.5 and better) it's not much of a concern anymore.

I can get rid of irrelevant abstraction bloat that way and make code perfectly tailored for what is needed. This was traditionally expensive which led to abstraction being packaged in frameworks.

An honest question - why would we need any frameworks at all for vibe coded apps? I can just tell the coding agent to use pure HTML5/Vanilla JS/CSS on the frontend and pure whatever on the backend and it would do it. No need for h

It's $1400/month per person in Germany, just hidden from you. That's more than a monthly family plan in the US.
