jfaat··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
Yeah that's a good idea. I played around with kimi2.5/gemini in a similar way and it's solid for the price. It would be pretty easy to build some skills out and delegate heavy lifting to better models without managing it yourself I think. This has all been driven by anthropic's shenanigans (I cancelled my max sub after almost a year both because of the opencode thing and them consistently nerfing everything for weeks to keep up the arms race.)

Lol wat? I mean you certainly have enough control self hosting the model to not let it join some moltbot network... or what exactly are you saying would happen?
jfaat··on Show HN: LemonSlice – Upgrade your voice agents to real-time video
I'm using an openAI realtime voice with livekit, and they said they have a livekit integration so it would probably be doable that way. I haven't used video in livekit though and I don't know how the plugins are setup for it
jfaat··on The chess bot on Delta Air Lines will destroy you (2024) [video]
I hadn't considered that name specifically but I'm not married to the branding! I appreciate that feedback and your other comment validating I'm not the only person with this problem. Happy to chat more via email (in bio)
jfaat··on The chess bot on Delta Air Lines will destroy you (2024) [video]
I see some chess players so I want to plug the chess coaching app [0] I'm building. I don't know many chess players and could use feedback, but I had been paying for chess.com premium and tried some others and it's always game-level feedback which is insane to me because it's really not that helpful (as evidenced by my abysmal rating.)

I'm running games through stockfish/lc0/Maia and doing some analysis of patterns across multiple games, then feeding that to an agent who can replay through positions and some other fun stuff. Really keen to find out if it's helpful for anyone else!

jfaat··on How to store a chess position in 26 bytes (2022)
I have a lot more to optimize before I'm crunching down the positions but I just made a chess platform[0] with the intention of tracking your play style over many games (integrated with chess.com only for now) because the other ones I've used (including chess.com somehow) only really analyze a game at a time. It was a lot of fun to build and it's been really useful for me to identify some weaknesses and have a 'coach' to talk through them with and replay positions. I'd love feedback from any chess players! (email is in my bio)

jfaat··on Anthropic: You can't change your Claude account email address
It's worth checking the spam score if its a new domain and see if there's anything on the internet archive. I learned this the hard way and now I check before buying
jfaat··on Why does the Salish Sea glow in the dark?
It's really amazing. One of the greatest experiences of my life was diving at night in a bioluminescent cove. I turned off my torch and the glow from my dive buddy's finning afforded all the viz I needed. Diving always feels so viscerally otherworldly but never quite as much as it did in that moment.
jfaat··on Railway partial outage (unless you pay more)
I noticed railway being slow then got an error message saying deployments are paused with a nice upgrade to pro button. Status says it's fixed but still only for pro. I'm a paying user, but I guess not enough.
jfaat··on If my kids excel, will they move away?
You claimed, without a source other than wikipedia, that everyone in Japan learns English in school. I see this [0] on wikipedia which says "a select number of public primary schools ... have mandatory English classes"

jfaat··on If my kids excel, will they move away?
> What language do you think they use?

Frequently, Chinese or Japanese. For example companies in these countries employ translators. Are you suggesting they rely on primary school-level English to negotiate?

jfaat··on If my kids excel, will they move away?
"When a Japanese and a Chinese person negotiate they are already using English"
jfaat··on If my kids excel, will they move away?
That is a wild claim
jfaat··on Kosmonaut: web browser from scratch in Rust
Looks like ionic supports desktop apps now: https://ionicframework.com/docs/deployment/desktop-app

I have no idea whether it’s using electron under the hood or just a native webview (or something else?) but might be worth checking out.

jfaat··on Google Drive – How do I stop others from sharing files with me?
Shameless plug, but the product I'm currently working on does this: https://altitudenetworks.com/offboarding.html

You're definitely not the first company to want this!

jfaat··on Fashion industry emits more carbon than flights and maritime shipping combined
Check out Everlane. They even have a ‘Uniform’ line now, I think. They also have transparent pricing, manufacturing practices, and at least some commitment to sustainability.

jfaat··on Why is modern web development so complicated?
Sure but for that person is “use a no-nonsense lamp stack” going to result in a better outcome than them just starting with react?

jfaat··on What Happens After Amazon’s Domination Is Complete? Its Bookstore Offers Clues
You basically never get free shipping on a pair of socks from a brand like Nike though, right? Usually you have to spend ~$50. These were ‘Darn Tough’, a more niche hiking/active brand. Amazon had the best price. I only found out they were counterfeit by doing some research when they got a hole way too soon, but just after the return window. I mended the hole and they’re serviceable for now. In the future, I’ll only buy these from either REI or direct from the manufacturer. Lesson learned. But yeah not your typical sock-buying situation, I’m way too big of a hipster for that ;)

jfaat··on Apple is now a privacy-as-a-service company
I think it is to clear the text, thus not giving your full name to the app. I assume when the email is selected it’s not filled with an x but a check mark.
jfaat··on Host Your Own Blog with Gitlab and Netlify
So if you’re not a developer and familiar with git you suggest for people to use the ridiculously complex, react-based gatsy, and still use git too?
