Huh, never thought about that 2nd point - I'm also transitioning to pi, but didn't think to change to neovim as well. I guess your logic holds for claude code users as well though.…

But isn't it the case that we can't reach this safeguard with the current architecture? I remember Karpathy making an interesting point 2 years (cca) back, that I would summarize s…

Maybe less shocking, but still, so is google. I know they are one of the labs, but that being said they rely far less on gemini for revenue as opposed to the big 2.

It seems like they're sticking to a static pricing plan that was made when the only relevant competition were the US labs (im not counting deepseek 2025 as serious competition -> g…

This was exactly my thought process. Coupled with a less idealistic one: mid 2025 if you looked arena ELO scores google seemed to be dominating and I was sure the trend would conti…

Exactly my experience. I'm building an AI document-extraction platform, so I had to benchmark a bunch of models — on the cost:quality:latency:adherence picture, flash wins hands do…

Haven't been following the articles and snippets we get from these labs about training their models for a while. But I'm guessing the latest chinese models are way less based on di…

I use hermes only ever saw their repo. Atrocious. I was sure you were exaggerating.

In other words, theory does not conform to reality, i.e. ugly data. Being an academically trained economist, not surprised.

This. When I was less into tech (2010-2015), I hated how everyone fawned about Elon (remember Hollywood casting him in iron man?). As I started to transition into tech I remember b…

While a valid point, I don't buy HN doesn't have a non-neutral ideological preference. I completely agree his foray was a fiasco (and his shareholders paid for it) and your colourf…

No. I'm saying people make this whole charade about being rational where in reality we are much more preference-driven. And usually the algorithm is: 1. do i agree with this person…

I agree, it was whataboutism. And i completely agree with the rest of your statement as well. My point was just that Elon gets more flak here than the rest of them (And it's his fa…

Well u can see other people from the democratic party doing similar salutes and the press reported it differently. As to the first point: maybe it should. But look at how the aid a…

Directly? I would love to see that study. I'm saying a lot of the populace is against foreign aid. And that populace has the right to shut it off. And we live in nation states - th…

My mum had a cassette with some of her songs. We'd have it on for long trips. I loved the long version of Faster than the speed of night. it's basically just "carpe diem" in a diff…

Ya maybe. But gemini didn't want to make all white families (or even white nazi soldiers). Isn't that just as racist and more importantly, counterfactual? Or is that good, because …

I mean ok, starlink could be an issue. But the USAID defunding is an ideological stance with which you can, based on your own stance, agree or disagree. You could also argue that w…

Uhm, I like Teslas a lot. The design and the philosophy of just minimizing the amount of components. But where I would draw the line is AC via touch screen (again, if Grok can now …

I gotta say, the one redeeming feature of Ferrari Luce, for me at least, was the interior. I don't dislike screens, I just hate the tesla-esque obsession (where, for them with FSD …

I should have been more precise. My point was merely that the tone of MSM and left leaning media and commentators took on those same platforms was completely different. So to your …

I find it laughable how when all of these platforms were aligned with the Dems the same behavior was ok (and it was those darned russians that were the problem on facebook and othe…

Same here, maybe I'm underusing it a bit, because for anything that is a bit more complex i tend to err on the safe side and go with anthropic, but i wonder if thats just a placebo…

Never thought I'd think about switching from Apple. M1 was handsdown the best buy ever and I was sure my next laptop would be an Apple as well. But looking at framework, this looks…

Hmm, not sure I'd agree. I really like google's offering there (they suck at coding agents but their OCR is good value for money - well up till the latest flash model which has got…
