web 4.0 here we come

should have just bought epic then like they usually do

Every once and a while we have had Bell Canada route a request that should be going about 6 blocks away across the continent and back.

They are not super helpful fixing it either.

Rancher/k3s is used a lot in many places as well.

Sysadmins needs logs that tell them what action they can do fix it. Developers need logs that tell them what a system is doing.

Generally a sysadmin needs to know "is there an action I can do to correct this" where as a dev has the power to alter source code and thus needs to know what and where the system is doing things.

An SVG is just text.

I mean that is also the job of existing call handlers.

"We are experiencing an greater than usual call volume, please wait while an agent becomes available" only to be randomly disconnected has been a thing for most of my life.

Everyone seems to be hyping open claw at the moment soon its just going to be LLMs talking to LLMs.... I wonder if they will develop a short hand and start talking in wingdings.

Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct is good I think for in line IDE integration or operating on small functions or library code but I dont think you will get too far with one shot feature implementation that people are currently doing with Claude or whatever.

> It takes your query, computes the complexity of the request, and tries to route it to the appropriate model. There is a /manual command i think, to pick the right model.

That is what is should do, but there is no > 2.5 model shown in /model and it always picks a 2.5 model. Ive enabled preview models in the google cloud project as well.

If I pass the 3 model in start param it shows 3 in the lower right corner but it is still using 2.5.

I know google has issues dealing with paying customers but the current state is a shit show. If you go to the gemini-cli repo its a deluge of issues and ai slop. It seems there is a cadre of people jumping to be the first person to pump an issue into claude and get some sort of PR clout.

It might be good but it needs more time to cook, or they need to take a step back and evaluate what they should consider a paid product.

I have a Code Assist Standard license to evaluate gemini-cli (and the new models)

To this day I cannot coax the gemini-cli to allow me to use the models they claim you have access to. Enabled all the preview stuff in cloud etc etc.

Still I mostly get 2.5 and rarely get 3 or 3.1 offered.

The gemini-cli repo is a shit show.

I can seem to access the new models using opencode, but am 429 rate limited almost immediately such that its like 5 minutes between calls.

What are the open source options? Turnstile is a replacement for Recaptcha after google moved it from a free product to a paid one.

The main advantage of Turnstile is that is benefits from CFs ubiquity to help judge legitimate vs illegitimate requests.

I would love to know what other options are available in this space aside from Turnstile, Recaptcha and HCaptcha.

Plus if you look at the commit cadence there is a lot of commits like 5-10 minutes a part in places that add new functionality (which I realize doesn't mean they were "written" in that time)

I find people do argue a lot about "if it is reviewed it is the same" which might be easy when you start but I think the allure of just glancing going "it makes sense" and hammering on is super high and hard to resist.

We are still early into the use of these tools so perhaps best practices will need to be adjusted with these tools in mind. At the moment it seems to be a bit of a crap shoot to me.

As bad as cloudflare is there is a reason people use it.

If you try and run a site that has content that LLMs want or expensive calls that require a lot of compute and can exhaust resources if they are over used the attack is relentless. It can be a full time job trying to stop people who are dedicated to scrapping the shit out of your site.

Even CF doesnt even really stop it any more. The agent run browsers seem to bypass it with relative ease.

They will need CC in order to deal with the slop that is constantly thrown at their repos.

Do they make sure new employees all remove the shift key from their company laptop or is that limited by band?

It also solves an exclusively American problem. In my country anyone can send money bank to bank, no need for a separate service.

I was trying to test the gemini-cli using code assist standard.

To this day I am unable to access the models they say I should be able to.

I still get 2.5 only, despite enabling previews in the google cloud config etc etc.

The access seems to randomly turn on and off and swaps depending on the auth used (Oauth, api-key, etc)

The entire gemini-cli repo looks like it is full of slop with 1000 devs trying to be the first to pump every issue into claude and claim some sort of clout.

It is an absolute shit show and not a good a look.

It isnt that hard to parse and it is very clear what position the commenter holds they state it

> I'm not reflexively anti-ALPR camera. I don't like them

Even LLMs can correctly parse this commenters intention.

"human reviewed"

"LGTM..."

I feel like code review is already hard and under done the 'velocity' here is only going to make that worse.

I am also curious how this works when the new crop of junior devs do not have the experience enough to review code but are not getting the experience from writing it.

Time will tell I guess.

I do wonder when some unforeseen 2008 like crash someone crashes ETFs.

I can't really see how it would happen and that I suppose is part of the fun.

The modern influencer landscape was such a boon for corporations.

For less than the cost of 1 graphics card you can get enough people going that the rest of them will hop on board for free just to try and ride the wave.

Add a little LLM generated comments that might not throw the product in your face but make sure it is always part of the conversation so someone else can do it for you for free and you are off to the races.

Even if it was a default there is so many services reaching out the non-technical user would get assaulted with requests from services which they have no idea about. Eventually people will just click ok with out reading anything which puts you back at square one with annoying friction.

I like the idea of grpc because I wanted the contract but I tried it on a small service and I think I would avoid it in the future. Too many rough edges and features I didnt really need. I was using it in Rust and python mainly (maybe it is better in Go?) but it had a whole bunch of google stuff in there I didnt need.

- Configuring the python client with a json string that did not seem to have a documented schema

- Error types that were overly general in some ways and overly specific in other ways

- HAProxy couldn't easily health check the service

There were a few others that I cant remember because it was ~5 years ago. I liked the idea of the contract and protobuf seemed easy to write but had no need for client side dns load balancing and the like and was not working in GoLang.

There has been an on-going meme around users using imessage getting messages from other imessage users which appear as one color and messages from android users(or anyone I think?) as another. So people know you are the android user in a group of apple users or whatever.

I did not think any one gave a shit outside of kids.

My 2010 Tacoma has a 2 inch square in the rear view mirror that works wonderfully.

Once one competitor sees the ratchet turn they will follow suit.

Yeah I can tell this guy has not bought a SATA drive in a while.

The options in that space are increasingly dwindling which is a problem when supporting older machines.

Sometimes it is cheaper to get a sketchy m2 ssd and adapter than to get an actual sata drive from one of the larger manufactures.

Does KDE have endless customization?

I just installed Plasma with Endevouros and use it. I used Cinnamon before it. They don't require much effort.

> the supporting ecosystem, ... the common parlance and patterns

Which are often the top reason to use a framework at all.

I could re-implement a web frame work in python if I needed to but then I would lose all the testing, documentation, middle-ware and worst of all the next person would have to show up and re learn everything I did and understand my choices.

The front runner is not always the winner. If they were able to keep pace with openai while letting them take all the hits and miss steps, it could pay off.

Time will tell if LLM training becomes a race to the bottom or the release of the "open source" ones proves to be a spoiler. From the outside looking while ChatGPT has brand recognition for the average person who could not tell the difference between any two LLMs google offering Gemini in android phones could perhaps supplant them.
