> GLM 5.2 has been good at select tasks but really shit at others

Yeah it really likes to shit the bed after thinking forever. Even if it can do some things, the quality is not quite up there in my experience.

That one was perhaps more of a cautionary tale, given the economics.

Almost as if centuries of passing the imperial exam by either skill or cheating influenced Chinese culture a lot.

> GLM 5.2 came out under an MIT license, beats the latest Opus release on real work while not even claiming to be frontier

I used GLM 5.2 a bit, and while it is usable for some tasks it is not frontier quality. Besides it likes to think for a long time and sometimes just gives up.

As if workers got paid by "what $wealth allows". As if there was a "right to dignified work" (what is "dignified"?). As if there was a "right to fair income" (whats "fair"?).

This is, in the immortal words of Norm McDonald, some "commie gobbledygook". I don't think there is any "newspaper", as in traditional print publication, left worth reading.

This is why I‘m excited for the attempt to vaccinate against the common cold and influenza: https://blog.interceptfund.com/p/ending-respiratory-infectio...

Same, the article is really solid but then they choose to migrate to… Python?

This feels like someone giving a great commencement speech, then proceeding to pull out a gun and shoot himself in the foot as the final act.

It is in fact very easy to scan for.

I have no issues via openrouter.

That’s unreliable. Gemini is nice because its always perfect.

Generous free tier, when its not overloaded.

Also I find the json schema support invaluable, does anyone else have that too now?

Very good. Sometimes I‘m too impatient.

Every time I trust my memory it betrays me.

You probably know this, they don't have wonky performance but are even bigger. An oven around a crystal.

Honestly, the "HF physics is black magic" trope has made me numb to the phantastical contraptions. I appreciate when they look cool, like esoteric orgon wave radiators.

Fascinating. I suppose they can be smaller than quartz crystals?

What do you feel is the best model for interface design right now?

These kinds of forums are some of the best parts of the internet. Many still exist, but they're slowly shrinking unfortunately.

In audio, this is usually the case. Musepack was niche-popular for some time as a simple, but very well tuned codec.

Its the same with speakers and headphones. People think its the component quality, but it’s mostly competency in overall audio physics and the ability to tune well.

Interesting. Somehow I never see people referencing them in this spirit, but that may be more on those people than on the price itself, perhaps.

Does the ignoble exist for anything else besides making fun of easy targets, like a bunch of sniveling teenagers?

Man, the chutzpah.

I just use Steam Streaming. If that doesn't work because they fucked it up again, Parsec. MBP as a terminal, smol ITX T1 running Windows as host.

There is a long list of grievances I have regarding the (mis-) use of taxpayer money, and funding the hard sciences is way, way down. I can’t even see it from where I stand.

Yes there is no substitute for academia. Monopolist's research labs get close (Bell Labs etc), but they tend to be more "applied".

This is a straw-man if I ever saw one.

Practically no one is against hard science research, properly conducted. The issues are rampant fraud / p-hacking / unreproducible garbage mixed with an unhealthy dose of ideological monoculture and indoctrination, garnished with rising tuition prices while sitting on huge endowments in case of the Ivy Leagues.

Ah yes, there it is. We‘ve learned how to translate this in our heads.

Are you under the impression that dentists are under competitive pressure? The labour supply is artificially limited, similar to other doctor specialisations.
