    When I started meditating, I actively tried to ignore my thoughts, which was exhausting. So when I couldn't, I'd engage and ruminate instead, which was just as tiring. The approach…

    Yes! I always thought that, when unused, elevators should distribute themselves along the floors, weighted by the floors that use them the most.

    I was also so annoyed by this. It makes communication all around difficult. Why don't they simply call it 4.1 flash?

    I'm always puzzled how ordinary Wikipedia pages make the front page. There must be some rare planetary alignment that gets so many people to upvote something that is plain and ordi…

    Yeah, me too. He did it once on MI2, fine. But again and again? I just wish he could tell a complete story for once.

    He repeated the same trope in Return to Monkey Island. At this point, I expect all of his endings to be abstract and meta. I don't like it...

    Maybe my phrasing was confusing. I didn't mean that that was what happened, but the ideal approach to stop atomic bombs (at least in my view).

    This reminds me of my favorite segment of the TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm: https://youtu.be/JqrJ4wGid4Y

    They are selling it even cheaper than Moonshot AI. Why are you so sure they are lying?

    If this is really the risk, then we should approach LLMs like atomic bombs: the US should reach out to other nations so they all agree on no one developing any more AI models. That…

    Yes, they did, which is unfortunate, as the game is very good in itself. They gave a nice twist to the formula.

    Why? Price? If the reason is performance, I've been using non-frontier models for cheap, and they run great for my needs (GLM 5.2, DeepSeek v4 Pro).

    Same here, but I live in a developing country. I usually switch to international news (or tech news, or no news at all) because local news is mostly about murders and other terribl…

    I've been using Zen since almost the beginning of the project. I'm pretty happy with it! Great QOL features, and being Firefox, I have perfect ad block and syncs nicely with Firefo…

    I was going back and forth between kimi k2.6 and deepseek v4 pro, but it's been 2 weeks that I've been using deepseek alone. It's very good and very cheap, I pay the opencode go $1…

    I've met some of the IT team of the city government of Rio de Janeiro years ago, before LLMs were a thing. They were already doing state-of-the-art data science projects. Glad to s…

    If it's really fully compatible with docx files, I'm very interested in this. No matter the advances Apple makes with the M chips, Office apps are always slow to open. Not to menti…
