    My guess is that there's probably a missing abstraction layer in the 3d editors somewhere. I am pretty bullish on AIs ability to solve this problem, even just based on existing ima…

    Dont forget the following: - Minimax M3 Pro (2.7T) - GLM 5.3 (or beyond) - Deepseek V4 Pro (current V4 Pro is preview) - Kimi K3 weights out in 8 days Exciting time on the open-wei…

    First of all, it's so cool to see you on HN and creating this. I'm not sure how much the HN community is aware of this, but JUCE is the standard for cross platform music plugin dev…

    I understand the concern and it's fair but I am very curious about what happens when the two notions of "free" (free as in beer, and free as in freedom) start to diverge because th…

    I kinda like the music comparison because it's so rich with sociological analogues. You have the gear snobs who can't stop buying more premium gear but never sit down and write any…

    I don't disagree with your conclusions (enterprises will pay top dollar for service guarantees, integration, and someone they can sue) but by that same logic there is no clear winn…

    "Anyone who depends on code review to find bugs is living in a fool's paradise. As everyone should know by now, it is not in general possible to find bugs by examining the code." I…

    GLM5.2 is not available on bedrock or gcp vertex. They aren't real options.

    I've seen folks make it work with a 3090 on 4 bit quant using turboquant for KV cache. That's key because 3090s remain the most cost effective gpu metal for enthusiasts (albeit 24g…

    One of the most challenging kinds of thought to work through with my engineers in professional communication is nuance. For example, they may say something like this, but actually …

    What makes you think there will actually be a guillotine? This isn't the French Revolution era. The alternative to your wet dream is that both Bernie and Luigi are hapless and actu…

    What if -- bear with me here -- the very thing that makes those founders able to make the $1B they would otherwise make would drive them to also ask why it is that someone else who…

    What happens to the person who earns their income laying bricks when an automatic bricklaying machine is built? Is it unethical for them to earn that income because they are operat…

    The kind of abliteration you are mentioning is no longer state of the art or the most common form of removing the refusal layer in most models. Your your understanding was up to da…

    Couldn't agree more. Maybe it's because it's a shining example of their ideological system that actually alters /my/ life, in ways that are tangible and which i can grasp, and make…

    It might change soon. Nemotron 120b was never flashy but always well regarded in the community and had material strengths at long context. The 550b next gen version is out now and …

    You can always run deepseek yourself, v4-pro and flash are open weights. It's a little tricky to get the hang of self deploying open weight models but you do fully own your deploym…

    I've been really enjoying claude design but my biggest critique of it (and frankly how vanilla claude handles files in general) is that it has no native conception of git-like vers…

    It's been a very strange realization to have with AI lately (which you have reminded me of) because it also reminds me that the same thing works with humans. Not the killing part a…

    401k rollovers into IRA aren't that hard these days and you could always use that IRA to have a more customized strategy, more specifically direct indexing of a major fund minus ke…

    Agreed. I will say that poking around a bit more on that site it looks like a temporary restraining order involving the same parties was granted, so perhaps there's some more histo…

    I'd be interested to see what things look like on a longer timescale, say 500, 1000, 2000, 7000 years. 80 years of time feels like a long time on a human lifescale, but on a civili…

    It definitely does suck. I had the same feelings about a year ago and the unpleasantness has definitely increased. But glass half full, we didn't have Kimi K2.5, GLM5, Qwen3.5, Min…
