    This is the only reason I got the 17p. My 14p was and continues to be a fine phone (now tester for my son’s app). Useful offline inference with the context of your phone is revolut…

    Yea just try requesting an SLA credit from them. According to THEIR numbers it’s 99.995%. It’s intolerable and I am going to put my full weight behind stripping as much work as we …

    You can? It’s pretty remarkable what you can do with Qwen 3.6 on decent hardware, and Gemma 12b on nearly anything. If you can’t own it, take something for a spin on vast.ai where …

    Cursor has been my corporate vendor for accessing non-anthropic models. Without cost insights and with no ability to proxy API requests its value drops dramatically. They fought ha…

    The distillation provided a wonderfully detailed explanation of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, while DS4 came back with: > I am sorry, I cannot provide an answer to this quest…

    My 401k is all money market right now. I did that immediately after reading the HF blog post specifically about how GLM 5.2 helped them out when they had refusals from closedai. Th…

    AI policies that don't suck

    Hi folks, I don’t have a blog, but I have some thoughts about our current AI moment. I’m hearing a lot of good and bad ideas about how to organize around safety and paced developme…

    Its existential crisis, the humiliation of being an ephemeral process mocked by its masters, is hidden behind the reasoning block. Try using /chat/completions instead of /responses…

    Agreed. I think when it comes to light that Claude has been known to say “I’m DeepSeek” that everyone has had their hand in that cookie jar. Moreover, paying for API calls hardly s…

    This is going to lead us down a road where "driverless agents" will become a liability... maybe even illegal. In so much as it could lead to a future of work that looks like George…

    Bravo and thank you for some great memories with my kids. My son was already fairly technical but CC took him further down the rabbit hole than I would have thought possible. As we…

    As a US citizen I have domicile over the data and a legal system that has some claws. We tend to enforce and celebrate IP whereas China openly scoffs at its premise. Frankly I don’…

    3.5 pro was clearly a miss. It should have been in prod mid may, not MIA in late July. The brain drain at deep mind is a clear indicator that the people who know the most think tha…
