> But that’s it. I never use Google outside of that. It’s just ads, and most of the web is just ads or AI slop. Funnily enough, their core revenue driver (Google Ads) is very broke…

Probably explains why Microsoft hasn't made a good product in...as long as I can remember. It's all shibboleths and gate-keeping.

"made with Swift" buries the lede a bit here, it's actually using Skia via the Flutter engine under the hood to draw windows, compositing, etc. The Swift part is just the author re…

How much usage do you get out of the $100 Moonshot plan? I haven't heard great things.

He was directly asked in a Bloomberg interview whether Claude was used in the bombing of the girl’s school in Iran, and his answer was “We don’t know”. His redline was autonomous w…

Still there for me: "The full model weights will be released by July 27, 2026"

If you're on Bandcamp or Soundcloud it's usually because you want to support artists directly, I doubt many people are purely interested in getting free music rips.

Completely agree. Slow but smart models (Fable, Sol, GLM5.2 etc) are great, but they leave me with zero mental model of the code that's been written. Most of the time my mind wande…

Or he just finds it an incredible time-saving tool to help him do more maths.

I'm not a regular v2.5 user, so I don't really know. But given the TileRT team write-up says the entire network gets quantized to FP8 (and experts get quantized to FP4)[0], I'm ass…

Related, I was given access to mimo-v2.5-ultraspeed, which is amazing. This is now my expectation for speed, it’s fast enough for me to stay mentally engaged rather than getting di…

I was playing with Hy3 via openrouter yesterday (and I've also been using DS4 Flash/Pro as a daily driver since I cancelled my Anthropic sub a week ago). I've found DS4 Flash to be…

Maybe this is what Medusa Halo will turn out to be?

> If you look at everything through their safe AGI mission it all makes sense. Except for, you know, all the outside investors and the forthcoming IPO.

Not saying the results were bad - quite the opposite. But it was very slow (and if I was paying API rates, hideously expensive).

From my brief window of Fable usage, speed wasn't its strong point at all. For actually building software, I'm starting to suspect a human with a dumber (but faster) model is going…

I haven't tried their Hermes agent yet, because I only want a coding agent and I wasn't sure if theirs was suitable. Would you recommend it?

This is a blast from the past. Knoppix saved my life a few times, it was the easiest way to mount a drive with a broken partition table or something else went that haywire with a d…

Quick Google suggests Uber is up 66% on its IPO price, but the S&P index is up 85% over the same time period. I think Softbank also sold out around 2022, so the return (vs IPO pric…

The investment round only closed in the last few weeks, it would have had zero influence on anything up to & including DeepSeek V4. Whether that now changes, who knows. It appears …

It makes no difference to me if a coding model has an opinion about Tiananmen Square, Americans bombing schoolgirls in Iran, how many genders there are, or anything else other than…

Until recently, DeepSeek were self-financed (it was a spin-out from a hedge fund). They just raised ~50million RMB (US$7bn), and according to media [0] (which admittedly can be unr…

What you said is not "a matter of fact" because it's simply untrue. These companies were not "created by" the Chinese government. Specifically, I'm talking about DeepSeek, Zhipu, M…

None of those companies are created by the Chinese government. They're obviously subject to the Chinese government, whose whims may change at any given moment, but as we're seeing …
