    I've been using Qwen3.6 models locally for a couple of weeks. Both the A3B moe and the dense variant. The moe works well in Librechat combined with my local search/Web retrieval sy…

    It is worth mentioning DGX is about a third up to a half performance of a 6 year GPU Rtx3090... I prefer to stay with my 3090s.

    How about implementing proper permissions on the tool use or if you need more flexibility a dedicated model to analyse potential impact? (Like Claude Code's Autopilot but more conf…

    It is quite funny an EU company patenting a software feature that is basically unpatentable in EU in the US. Clearly this is an attempt to prevent similar patents from being weapon…

    This will not fly anywhere outside France Polish here and the very first question I have is "who would decide which cultural industry representatives would get the money"? And what…

    You know there is such a thing as law, "EU" can't just block a merger or take away their profits beyond a certain fee. The fee is the only enforcement mechanism in the law. If you …

    Open code is cool once I added the ctrl-o function to it (show thinking and command outputs at will instead of on by default), but sadly I don't think it got merged by the team. I …

    This is very cool that they open weight it. Are there any EU providers serving it yet?

    That is a good analogy. But the limitations of LLMs seem to be where they lack some information they tend to hallucinate/invent. The rare benchmarks that measure "knowing what the …

    Exactly, also the ECJ is horribly corrupt (search for the corruption scandal revealed by a French journalist few years ago). Nothing happened back them. This will never become law …

    What? 75% people use personal chats for work? I've never seen this in my over 20 years working in the UK, Poland and few other countries. Personal messaging apps were always banned…

    A good example. In cases where social media are clearly intentionally harmful they should be prosecuted under existing laws. Instead of blocking under 16 year old from social media…

    Recently I started getting messages from Clause Code (on a plan). "You're restoring an old session are you sure you don't want to compress the context? This will use a substantial …

    How is GLM5.2 cheaper for you then Opus? I assume you're an individual so you get Max pricing like me, not API. I have Max x5 for 120Eur a month. I use it a lot (but usually I don'…

    The author mentions lack of good Web search. I've been using slightly modified crawl4ai and searXNG together with firebase for the rare sites that insist on throwing wrenches in th…

    There are no books banned in EU... Some countries have laws that criminalise glorification of nazism or communism, but I never heard any book was "banned" as a result. Here in Pola…

    I have to see I'm in the rtx camp. A dual rtx3090 workstation with 200G of ram and zen5 9950x cpu. All watercooled. The only reason I can tell it's on, is the very quiet hum of the…

    Serious programming is dealing with a large knowledge surface area. So not "implement me a shading algorithm" But more like: make an multi user app running on a k8 cluster, design …

    I think there is no reasonably priced machine you could run locally to do serious work with LLMs... 10x rtx6000 Pro in a large workstation is probably the way to go for someone wan…

    Poland. Both children my sister had were cesarean. There were no complications at all, but both were as the doc put it "large" so my sister was given a choice.

    On dual rtx3090 it runs at 140tok/s with a short prompt... Not bad. Qwen 3.6 dense runs at 40tok/s

    If we programmers united we had a clouded code alternative that didn't suck :-) But we're not far. My requirements: - a terminal app without advanced tui, not written like "a brows…

    2bits is a joke for serious work. You'd be better with Qwen3.6 under 30G probably. But there are EU only providers for GLM5.2. For example tensorx. Depending on your definition of …

    Has anyone compared the costs between maxing out a Claude Max x5 subscription (one for €120 euro a month) and same amount of work on GLM5.2 via API at a cost of $4 per mln token ou…
