its main Chinese competitor GLM is like making 50 cents USD each in the past 6 months from its 40 million "developer users", calling your flagship model "AI coding agent" is like telling investors "we are doing this

anthropic playbook does include the false claim publicly made by its CEO that "in six months AI would be writing 90 percent of code". he made that claim 10 months ago. it is a criminal offence for intentionally misleading investor

a model is not software, it is a bunch of weights. you are more than welcomed to pick whatever model or software you choose to trust, that is totally fine. However, that is vastly different from bad mouthing a model or software just because

so when MiniMax released a pretty capable model, you choose to ignore the model itself and just focus a single sentence they wrote in the release note and started bad mouthing it. is it a cultural thing?

there are good deals on ebay atm. e.g. brand new ublox zed-f9p dev board pin compatible with the M8T receiver you are using. it also comes with dual frequency antenna. it is not a second hand chip, but a brand new module ready to be plugged

some ideas - 1. using a second hand single frequency Ublox LEA-M8T GNSS receiver is not a good idea in 2025 when a dual frequency GNSS receiver chip can be purchased online for as little as $20-30. buy one of those ublox ZED-F9P receivers w

that is why the task was delegated to the agent designed and maintained by Dario Amodei's company. the outcome is clear - claude doesn't buy Dario Amodei's crap.

Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, openly lied to the public back in March that AI would be writing 90% of the code by Sept. It is Nov now. He obviously doesn't even know the stuff he is working on. How would anyone take him seriously

no matter what excuses are used, it is called "闭关锁国", for which every Chinese kid got taught it to be a bad thing. Chinese learnt it the hard way as they did exact that 500 years ago and that didn't end very well.
