    I have been using deepseek v4 pro almost exclusively. I was using Kimi a lot but it just nose dived. The decline started with the release of 2.7 and accelerated with the release of…

    Well I have spent a LOT of time working with these devices, and I took a look through the website, and I didn’t see anything that looked wrong. But not exhaustively no, because why…

    What is, that website? It’s pretty thorough. It’s not my website but the information is all accurate.

    Speaking of Linux on mobile, I have about 300 of these things for sale with some associated hardware and software if anyone is interested (in Australia but can ship obviously) http…

    It’s an extension of technical debt. They’re both bullshit in my opinion.

    I don't understand the concern about "cognitive debt". I frequently have to maintain code I wrote, or someone else wrote, weeks/months/years ago and I have NFI what's going on. Now…

    Have you been consistently replying with the same answer to that comment? Or have you genuinely tried using coding agents?

    I've built 4 pretty novel features where the LLM didn't know how to solve the problem, but with design/decision input from me was able to implement it. Between the two of us it was…

    > and AI has yet to show any real utility Ummm ... have you not tried using LLMs for coding work?

    I don't understand how you could compare crypto, which has no utility and no fair value, with AI which is used by hundreds of millions of people every day to achieve real outcomes.…

    Yeah it was a deceptively complicated issue. I’m not sure if my implementation is as comprehensive, but it sounds similar: optimistic local writes, outbound queue, server as source…

    Interesting! I wrote something similar for my app recently, it was the first thing I coded using LLMs.

    It’s a hunch. You think it’s outside the realm of possibility? How else do you explain wild swings in capability?

    Hopefully this helps reduce some of the pressure on their infrastructure. Their models have all become super dumb recently and their support are not addressing it. I have a hunch t…

    I’ve had no issues with deepseek at all. Maybe it’s just luck of the draw

    They may have all this amazing architecture but Kimi has been super dumb recently. I reckon they’re under compute pressure and quantising to stay afloat. I was a heavy k2.5/2.6 use…

    Yeah deepseek is my workhorse of choice these days, I mostly use pro because I do a lot of concurrent jobs so speed is less of a concern. When it falls over I change the model mid-…
