There are many open source (not just open weight) non-US models - some of the more notable ones: - Soofi S, DE, ~32B - Apertus 1.5, CH, ~32B - EuroLLM-22B, EU, ~22B - LLM-jp-3, JP,…

Isn't this just Substack? I don't think they allow too much styling - body and section fonts, header size, header image and icons, etc. Could be wrong. EDIT: Oh the Jamverse websit…

Do you think "Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements" is the origin of "ricing" / "riced-out" or a backronym[1]? Honest curiosity about language and language use. In fairness and full…

Rather than make another top-level comment, adding here that Kagi is a better experience for me than Google or DDG. Not perfect, and I wish they would lean even harder into pure se…

Was thrown off at first: your hn discussion link is for 2024, not 2004 (as currently written).

Opus 5 hasn't been available for that long - long enough for benchmarks, but not really use and develop a subjective view on

I agree with your common sense take of how it should play out, but Google has and will argue Section 230 protection for AI overviews, eg in Wolf River Electric v Google. https://ww…

Attacking the cult of progress is a major through-line: > 12: Today, the human desire for fullness of life is at risk of being misled by deceitful goals, such as the prospect of a …

I have a lot of sympathy and affection for this project. When I started working in the US Congress in 2009, I was shocked there wasn't a more concerted effort to put US code in som…

Thanks - appreciate it!

Maybe something fossil-adjacent: - amber.dev - quarry.sh You’ll probably need to play with gTLDs to find something that works. Can also echo “scm” from fossil’s domain: - amberscm.…

Tangent - does anyone immediately recognise how this was typeset? I’m guessing it’s some kind of pandoc output? I read the original chapters online but appreciate this format.

Wild! Fun to see 9p filesystem protocol continue to have a life in this form.
