meeq··on Muse Spark Open
Am I the only one experiencing accidental chinese tokens, wrong grammar, and other sloppy mistakes in almost every output when using GLM 5.3? I feel like using it through any kind of subscription service (z.ai, Opencode Go) just serves me aggressive quants.

On some days it's usable, but on most days it feels more like having to trust a pretty smart intern that may or may not get a small stroke every couple of minutes.

Found out yesterday that Switzerland has extremely lax laws about copyright. You are actually permitted to pirate movies and shows all you want, as long as you don't share the copyrighted media outright. The Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property explicitly says:

  downloading or streaming works for private use is permitted even when the source is illegal.

meeq··on OpenClaw 2.0, Accidentally
LMFAO, all of Wyoming apparently still using OpenClaw. What's up with that?
meeq··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
It could in practice. Just get ready for some very interesting thinking tokens, akin to a psychotic break, once it interacts with the "simulated reality" and "the user‘s fabrication of a nonexistent timeline within the hypothetical future".

Gemini 3.0 was convinced that my dependency versions pinned in package.json were hallucinated by an AI, because they "shouldn't yet exist". I just hope this kind of behavior is gone.

meeq··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
Not OP, but I am pretty sure they are using Opencode with a certain antigravity plugin. Not going to link it, since it technically allows breaking TOS. If you‘re not using Opencode yet, I wholeheartedly recommend the switch.
meeq··on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
It is available in Opencode, you just have to install this plugin: https://github.com/numman-ali/opencode-openai-codex-auth

Been using my ChatGPT sub with Opencode for a couple of weeks now. Only wish I‘d found out sooner. Could have saved a decent chunk of money.

meeq··on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
Anthropic shot themselves in the foot with this decision. It‘s a PR nightmare and at the same time the open source community will always find a way. They just wasted everyone‘s time and likely lost a bunch of users while doing so.

Thank you for sharing this!

meeq··on Eat Real Food
It‘s not just the better taste that causes the overeating. Sugar and refined carbs cause blood glucose levels to spike, giving you a surge of energy. That spike is very short-lived, resulting in a sharp drop that then causes cravings for more refined carbs/sugar. This blood glucose rollercoaster can cause all kinds of bad effects like mood swings and brain fog. The problem about refined carbs is that they never truly satiate your hunger. Once you add them to a meal, you get into the loop of chasing the glucose high which is horrible for your body and mind.
meeq··on Show HN: Axiom for Claude Code – Coding skills for iOS devs
Kind of sad how this hasn‘t gotten any traction. I can tell you’ve put a lot of thought into this. Native iOS development with agents is a pain without a proper system to support the LLM. I will give this a spin once I have some spare time. Thank you for sharing this!
meeq··on Aldous Huxley predicts Adderall and champions alternative therapies
Not the OP, but I‘ve had a rather bad experience with methylphenidate (ritalin) where it made me way more awkward around people, and increased my obsessive tendencies. It did help with focus, but the effects were very short-lived. It also obliterated my hunger and once the effects wore off, it left me feeling semi-depressed until the end of the day.

Once I got prescribed lisdexamphetamine, my life turned around almost instantaneously. While it doesn‘t really get rid of my ADHD, it does help tremendously. The everlasting brainfog isn‘t as debilitating anymore. When I get excited about something I actually tend to follow through. I still battle with my obsessive tendencies — like getting stuck at setting up the perfect project tooling stack or spending way too much time on planning and research instead of just getting to work — but these are not so much related to ADHD.

On lisdexamphetamine, I am more social, my appetite is better, when I actually commit to something, I tend to stick to it for much longer, and I have also picked up a bunch of healthy habits. For example I exercise almost every day now.

If you someday get a chance to switch to lisdex, do it. It’s much smoother, longer-lasting, with fewer side effects. But honestly, anything is better than ritalin in my book.

meeq··on You should write an agent
You know how sometimes when you send a prompt to Claude, you just know it’s gonna take a while, so you go grab a coffee, come back, and it’s still working? With Cerebras it’s not even worth switching tabs, because it’ll finish the same task in like three seconds.
