Meanwhile our noble side only slaughters foreigners, so you see that makes us the good guys

Almost 800 horsepower is anemic? That's the same territory as a Porsche 911 Turbo S

The DseWiki incident showed that OpenAI seems to ask its agents time-limited questions on geography-bounded statistics, tasks like finding the average wage of teachers in Wisconsin (made up example), so medical stats in an Australian state does seem to be in the same category of question.

That said, it would be utterly unsurprising to learn that this was a misconfiguration in the website and it was serving stuff that it shouldn't have.

Thanks, I'll have a read

Agreed! I've always been interested in the field of mathematics, only to be let down by my lack of ability to comprehend it. I can usually follow an article up until the point that it starts using formulae.

I love this approachable prose.

If anyone is aware of any other "mathematics for people who don't know mathematics" resources I'd greatly appreciate any links.

We're all in our own filter bubble my friend, there is no the news any more

I too am using GLM-5.3-flash in Pi and I've yet to encounter a scenario it couldn't handle. And the pricing is just incredible, I've handed it a previously unseen codebase, asked it to analyse it and build a new feature, came back after it had done so and the API cost was a fraction of a cent. It's $0.5/1M output tokens on OpenRouter.

If I really need to, I can escalate a task to Opus at $25/1M, and the results are good, but not 5000% as good.

Yeah, I've worked in risk management and if a company said "what we're doing has a 10% chance of killing lots of people" it'd get shut down so fast it'd make your head spin

I've been awake through enough history classes to know what happens when people get pushed too far

It probably won't, too many people just go down the default path with any app, however as an individual it would be nice to have a way to curate my feed

I justify it to myself by saying that even if I'm arguing with a bot, I want to have a counterargument posted for the benefit of the people who are reading the comments

I've been very impressed with GLM 5.3 Flash's performance even without considering cost, but once you factor that in, it's incomparable. Not surprised to see its position on the chart.

You know what they say, what goes up must continue to go up forever

The problem with outsourcing your gorilla marketing is that it can cost big bananas with a hard to quantify return

A lot of engineers are gonna hate this, but the domain that LLMs will have the hardest time dominating is people skills

Depends what counts as "introduced", the Patriot Act was based on the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act written by Joe Biden.

This is something Biden was proud of, and confirmed in his own words many times

The surveillance state has bipartisan support.

I use Qwen/Claude for coding and Gemini/Gemma to draft text intended for a human. To me that feels like each model playing to their strengths.

Getting real sick of capitalism systematically consuming and destroying everything it touches.

These behaviours would be described as obsessive and pathological in any clinical setting, but when they're done for profit it's somehow normal.

There's details in the class action lawsuit

Looks like I'll have to get back into casemodding then

But it does look funny

Those businesses are welcome to publish their prices if they want to avoid that

I still think the best bang for your buck is an old desktop PC. Something like an i5 with 8GB RAM and an SSD will suit 99% of home server uses with capacity to spare.

Even in this environment of inflated hardware prices, you can get one for a reasonable price.

Although I do see the appeal in getting unconventional hardware to do what you want, just for the love of the game.

A group which has been known to collectively make a mistake or two

Cities in Australia consistently rank in the top 5 most expensive real estate indices and we ain't short of space here, it's just not many people are interested in living in a dusty Outback desert.

And for many, if the property is not within 10km of the Sydney or Melbourne city centre, it might as well be in the dusty Outback desert.

Money is a factor, but not the only one, and for some, not the most important one. Beyond a certain point, there are diminishing returns. Does driving a car that costs twice as much make you twice as happy? Maybe for the first month, then it's just normal again.

For me personally, quality of life is important, so is vibing with my coworkers, and management that respects work-life balance. I have this at my current job. My salary is good, not amazing but comfortable. Would I trade double the salary for an environment where I'm stressed, expected to work 50 hour weeks, and answer calls on my own time? Nah. No way.

The profit motive is the reason that most of the things that are shit, are shit.
