These benchmarks have even the small models absolutely demolishing Sonnet-3.5, which doesn't reflect my subjective experience.

It still seems to me that these models are 'dumb' and often don't understand what I'm asking, where claude's intuition is much stronger.

I feel r1 14b even feels weaker than qwen 2.5 14b

Primary use-case is web technology / coding. Maybe I'm prompting it incorrectly?

I love this idea.

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYTHONS

While this raises valid concerns, Copilot and friends can actually enhance learning by exposing devs to new patterns and approaches. They still require problem-solving and critical evaluation skills. By handling routine tasks, they free up time for higher-level thinking.

It's just another abstraction layer, like high-level languages were. Responsible use combined with continuous learning can boost productivity without sacrificing knowledge.

The impact differs between experienced devs and beginners. As these tools evolve, we'll likely develop new meta-skills around AI collaboration. Like any tool, it's about how we use it.

Just create a userscript that removes posts with common AI keywords from your feed.

Or have AI do it...

It's also available via the osrs.wiki URL. Also, it's the highest quality wiki I've ever encountered.

There's ydotool, but as far as I tested with it, the only movements that work are relative movements. You can't tell it to a click a specific x/y because it will fumble badly (Nobara / Fedora 38 )

This has been a huge problem in my social circles.

I really like my current android device, but my wife and our friends have iphones and we are all constantly inconvenienced by the messaging and other poor sharing options between platforms.

They share things without having to think about it, and I have to come up with solutions that are acceptable to them.

Between this issue and the differences in performance in the last few years, it has me thinking of moving back to team blue after 10+ years on green.

Anecdotal evidence here - I find that the API is less likely to ask questions about what you are doing and get straight to the answer.

For example, if I were to ask how to do something with burp it will just answer instead of going into the "as an AI" monologue.

I have an addon that allows me to use it in Firefox. It's called 'Bing Chat for All Browsers'

To be fair to Microsoft, it is a little broken in Firefox - but at least I'm able to use it now.

It really is - writing a svelte component feels like writing something in vanilla html/js/css, but you get all the advantages that come with a framework.

I created a program that allows me to control the max charge level of my laptop battery on linux, and persists the change through reboot. Written in rust, and I use it several times per week.

I designed it for my system, but it should work on any linux system with a battery, kernel version 5.4+, and systemd.

Anyone know a good compression algorithm? Mine seems to be incredibly lossy.

A lot of the replies here are recommending Ubuntu - I'm going to recommend PopOS. It's built on top of Ubuntu, but comes with a newer kernel (better new hardware compatibility), graphics drivers, and some sensible defaults.

Some optimizations for laptops with graphics switching is great too.

I like these.

I use a no-name vps provider that offered a deal for 3core, 2G mem, 40G ssd kvm for 23/year. Could up-in-smoke any time but I've enjoyed it for the last 1.5 years. I usually look for deals on LEB.

Minecraft as well; some of my college buddies and I do a book club and meet up on minecraft since we don't live nearby each-other anymore. 10 years of entertainment for maybe $30.

Yes, when the replace sugary drinks in the diet.

Javascript is still popular today even if you ignore the browser. Node is all over the place.

Maybe look at tauri?

You can write the cli in rust and the gui in html js css

Binary will probably end up around 6MB

Thank you for the perspective.

Here's r7 4800HS (35w) on linux:

Finished release [optimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 24.98s

real 0m25.151s

user 4m54.987s

sys 0m6.764s

I feel their strategy makes a lot of sense if each project is treated like a startup. Release the mvp, iterate quickly, shut it down if it isn't working...

The problem is they attach the Google name for clout and then proceed to drag that name through the mud when they stop support.

Google's name now isn't worth much to me if I'm considering an experimental product.

They should not use the Google moniker unless they are willing to provide long term support.

Wow, this is a really cool project.

I'd really like to see something like this in browser developer tools someday.

If you're using mullvad you have likely already done a lot of research on which provider you want to use.

A lot of consumers are interested in a quality VPN but wouldn't do this kind of research.

Mozilla provide additional eyeballs and billing support, and mullvad provides the service itself. It's a mutually beneficial transaction.

They're not in competition for your money, they're targeting different demographics.

You won't be able to change the brightness or use the keyboard shortcuts by default, but it's pretty easy to use mainline to get the latest kernel which will support those features.

This would also work for Ubuntu.

I can't speak to the 4700u or the pangolin specifically, but I can offer this perspective on PopOS/AMD:

I've been using System76's PopOS with my Asus Zephyrus G14 (4800hs) as a daily driver and I really like it. (freelance/web)

The battery life is comparable to Windows (on integrated graphics mode, it has graphics switching available)at 7-10 hours with 70% brightness and balanced power settings using VScode and firefox.

The g14 has a 75wh battery vs the pangolin's 49wh, so I would expect less battery life from the pangolin despite the 4700u having a lower default tdp, since the 4800hs likes to sit at around 6-10 watts when doing non-intensive tasks anyway.

In 2021 I'm not missing any major programs. It's pretty incredible how much is cross-platform now.
