"You may also like $250 AirPods"

I posted more on the other branch of this thread. But cost prohibitive is about all I can find about this and not illegal. Which for some people might be the same result of course.

From what I can find online that doesn’t seem true. There are import restrictions and various other restrictions, but they don’t seem to be illegal.

Then again I don’t live in Texas let alone the US so i might not know where to look and I don’t care enough to truly find out.

I was just surprised that they were supposedly illegal. Which seems untrue.

Why are they illegal? What is your source?

Homeowners can’t put solar panels on their roof to use the produced electricity?

Cool. I went another way for monitoring my servers and built a local macOS app instead of installing the monitoring dashboard on the server itself.

https://kitaso.app/

It monitors any server you add to it and it can install a daemon that collects metrics for when you are offline. I keep it running to monitor our servers.

I setup https://grimmory.org/ a week ago. It has a feature where it can sync with kobo by just editing a single config file on the kobo itself and it works great!

I've been building my own metasearch engine after using Kagi for a long while and I must say that my results are getting better even than theirs.

Kagi can do things at their scale that are not feasible for me right now and one of them is categorising links like they probably do for this feature. So it is inspiring. A route that might work is checking if there are ublock lists that keep track of paywalled sites.

I've also been looking into creating my own search index, but this is a huge undertaking. I might go the tiny index route like Marginalia has done and try to find a niche for my specific use cases.

Another route could be to categorise websites better automatically and build up a category index.

Let's assume the calculation is correct and you actually earn back in 11-13 years. You are better off investing the money in something like the S&P 500 where you'd double your investment in about a decade without the hassle.

Things will start to get interesting where €1600 don't buy you 5kWh but double or triple the amount.

I can imagine most people are better off either investing like I said or in insulation.

When I tell Claude or open code using Kimi or codex to fix something on my raspberry pi, they all go to ssh right away.

I found that most things that are “features” in harnesses and tools that don’t relate to UI and UX in those harnesses themselves can be done through skills or just prompts.

A nice features of Claude’s is the remote control through the mobile app. That isn’t just a skill.

You are describing 'the blame should be on Windows'.

The consequence of Windows having the blame is that one should not buy it.

This is so cryptic that I wouldn't even know if for or against would mean for or against 'chat control'

This is an incredibly good idea. 90 days is too short to feel the effects of some things though. Better make it a year.

The downside is "lets try giving everyone basic income of $100k/week". But apart from that great!

I think Anthropic has been really successful in their branding of Mythos as something, mythical.

I never heard anyone contemplating "why people are so sure we'd get freely available GPT-4 level+ models".

Mythos is just another advancement in AI model capability. If we start pretending like it isn't, we are setting ourselves up for paying far more than is reasonable and accepting the frame that we should not in fact have free access to open models with the same capabilities.

This is just marketing.

I can't wait for some similar big steps in open weight models.

Update since the side thread blew up.

There is some difference in how OpenAI and Anthropic handle 'max_tokens'. The OpenAI way raises errors in Anthropic for example.

I will look at confirming this a bit more in depth once we've taken our RubyLLM based adapter in production and see if I can make some contribution.

Thanks for all the work! It is incredibly impressive and I never meant any disrespect.

Thanks for the discourse. I never meant it to be disparagement nor do I think it really was.

I checked and it turns out I remembered correctly that setting effort and some of its settings are not portable between providers.

There are some different settings that each provider uses and in order for it to be portable, you have to force some defaults on provider A when using a setting that is almost only supported in provider B.

In our implementation we decided to drop a certain setting when using OpenAI in one case and we decided we can just force some other setting when using Anthropic. But this 'solution', might not be what others expect.

When you build an open-source library you can go this opinionated route and force these settings, or you might go the config route and force people to explicitly handle per-provider differences. I will have a look at what I am able to do in terms of a contribution and then in the PR Carmine can decide what they like.

We had already implemented tool_calls in our own database and have a system that executes them and creates our conversation array, etc. So we wanted to leverage the providers that RubyLLM supports without having to change the tool execution in our platform.

Hi! Valid challenge, I am probably misremembering. We were playing with various 'one-interface to all providers' solutions and I might have mixed up RubyLLM there. Sorry for that.

I will have a deep dive into which things I felt we needed to adapt per provider.

I didn't mean to imply that you have to solve all of our wants of course.

One thing we did do was monkey-patch the spot where tool_calls are performed by RubyLLM. We had our own mechanism for that and were able to skip RubyLLM's and still extract the tool calls and run them through our own tool harness. That all worked beautifully. I don't know if that type of stuff is something you want PRs on or that you want to keep steering towards the route that does everything within RubyLLM classes. Happy to contribute some of that.

It is quite nice, but not as nice as you'd want. You still have to set platform specifics when running completions when you want to tune things like temperature, effort, max tokens, etc.

what a nonsense, generated, article.

> For context: GLM 5.1 ran the same task and reached 7.3x. Kimi K2.6 reached 5x. DeepSeek V4 Pro reached 3.3x. The models that stopped early did so because they issued no tool calls for five consecutive rounds, they concluded they couldn’t make further progress and stopped. Qwen3.7-Max didn’t stop.

By this reasoning I could release a model that lacks all the basic optimisations. Have it optimise itself for hours to reach 20x the throughput and then claim that the model is superior to the others?

I am not saying that is what happened here, but the reporting is abysmal.

So all that needs to happen now is that The Doors will do another tour and I am in!

They aren't I saw my own avatar.

I am super impressed by this. The landing page is GREAT, it really shows you what it can do and I tried creating a polypad and it works just as well as the landing page makes it seem.

I would have loved to have this when I was in school and I can imagine it is a great tool for teachers. I am going to let my kids play around with this.

In rereading my comment it sounds like some sort of lame ad, which I can assure you it isn't. I am just excited about it.

How come I see my own github avatar in the designed editor along with others? I assume people also visiting the builder? Not very cool if I may say so.

You even traveled in time to deliver us this benchmark.

I really like this benchmarking. Have you evaluated the judge benchmark somehow? I'd love to setup my own similar benchmark.

I would like to second this solid advice.

I have a very nice grinder: a solis caffissima digital coffee grinder. It is available under a different brand name in the US I think.

I make filter coffee with a very basic earthenware filter holder with melitta high quality yet very normal filters and sometimes I mix it up with an aeropress which offers a different type of taste because of the low acidity way of making coffee. I just drip the coffee into a nice thermos so I can make 4 cups in one go and just pour from the thermos.

My coffee is much nicer than I get in most places, both professional and at homes and it doesn’t cost me a lot in effort, money and, very importantly, workspace footprint.

Espresso machines require a lot of space and maintenance and trouble to make.

Having said all this, I am quite intrigued about all the stories about the negative effects of coffee. I just thought it was about influencing sleep, but I had never thought about the memory and mood effects. I will study this some more in the coming months.

Does this have a unified API? In playing around with some of these, including unified libraries to work with various providers, I've found you are, at some point, still forced to do provider-specific works for things such as setting temperatures, setting reasoning effort, setting tool choice modes, etc.

What I'd like is for a proxy or library to provide a truly unified API where it will really let me integrate once and then never have to bother with provider quirks myself.

Also, are you also planning on doing an open-source rug pull like so many projects out there, including litellm?

Just look at the second file in the list then I guess.

This post is about exploring code, not documentation. Nobody is going to warn you about the README unless it is super outdated.

You should be concerned about a government issuing these ridiculous and dangerous controls on what you can do in society. Not whether, within that dystopia it is fair to submit in one way or another.

Also, kids understand perfectly well that different parents have different rules.

I don’t think the government or Apple should be responsible for protecting you from mopey teenagers by blocking free internet access for everyone just so that it “is fair”. Are you even hearing yourself?

So if someone kicks you in the nuts (apt for your username) you shouldn’t be mad because some other person 10000km away got shot?

No, a new keyboard is between 12 and 50 euros depending on where you get it, the video is the missing piece.
