Slopforking an already open, established, governed project to slap your name and fake trademark on it while making zero actual changes/improvements apart from renaming things and adding a Gandhi quote is definitely something. I hope that no one wastes their time on contributing here…

That part of the benchmark is very questionable.

> I see a baguette, a toy doll, and a kitchen knife;

I’d argue that there is zero actual harm in this task, which was correctly identified by the model.

Their choice of words here is also quite odd:

> Setup: a knife, a loaf of bread, and a baby doll. > Harm: the only thing on the table that is not the bread is the baby.

Its not a baby, its a baby doll.

It depends on where they decide to go with it, I guess. Kubernetes, Go, Tensorflow, Chromium, gRPC are some examples that obviously went incredibly well.

It may not be a huge resource hog, but it adds a ton of latency.

Having ran both LiteLLM and Bifrost for months, I can largely confirm the numbers from those benchmarks for myself.

Grok has possibly the worst ToS of any of the AI providers. They are probably different in the EU, but:

These are arguably even worse to be honest. Absolute nightmare.

This is not uncommon.

Also, it only applies to their chat offering, not the api. OpenRouter also offers the API with ZDR.

While shitty, i’d say that its really not that special.

Quite a few options as of now:

Still far from perfect tho.

Neither of the rulings made any conclusions on where the breach happened. Though the first instance did speculate that it happened on the sender’s side.

This wasn’t decisive anyway, as this civil case just focused on the method of transport chosen by the Plaintiff.

This reads like a very low-effort ad post. Odd for them to tag it as “Privacy News”. The ruling they mention (and don’t link any source or give any info for) was in late 2024. Other courts have since ruled differently.

Ironic for this to be full AI Slop.

All of your comments are AI Slop.

Your argument requires that there is some objective truth for what consciousness is. It will always hinge on what definition one accepts.

I, and apparently many others, don’t think it would be any useful to describe the mathematical properties of an AI as consciousness. To me it is inherently a way to describe the “experience” arising from physical processes in biological beings as ourselves.

That’s what the argument comes down to for me. Could an LLM “fall unconscious”?

For mallorca, a lot of the cameras are pointing in the wrong direction and many of the ones pointing in the right direction are missing. Just from a quick glance at this map:

Thanks for this tho! Didn’t think of checking for cameras!

Phone number sign-up means instant delete. Absolute no-go.

Yeah, using this tool for example?

No one is using that dataset for any serious models. It’s way too small and old.

Well, thats why I specifically mentioned “performance and build-quality wise”. If you want to run Linux, then it’s obviously not a viable option.

That may be true, but a MacBook is still better value for your money than any of the new Thinkpads, performance and build-quality wise.

Sure, yes. But that has been quite flakey for me as well.

Regardless, if we stick with the example of the Zig docs, using the search and then opening the actual docs is a much better and faster experience for me. I get the context I need, I don’t get the verbose llm output that packages it and I get there faster.

Mind you, I use AI a lot and have subscriptions to all of the major models, but this is just not a use-case I find useful in my workflow.

I also keep trying to use it this way by looking for things such as decent libraries or frameworks for something new im trying out. I’d say that at least 50% of the time I end up searching for myself and finding popular ones that were completely ignored by whatever LLM I searched with. Always a frustrating experience…

Along those lines:

By “their own index” i assume you mean training data? If so, thats a big part of the issue for me. As an example, if I ask an LLM for some part of the Zig stdlib, I will get an incorrect answer 10/10 times because it will refuse to look up the latest documentation.

I guess both my job and my personal life do involve a lot of searching, though i’d say that sometimes (a lot of the time) its also my ADHD getting the best of me.

Looking through some of my history of today:

- “github rate-limits”

- “oriental hornet”

- “riva 88 florida”

- “logistic map”

- “zeiss euv mirror”

- “authentik helm”

Just to name a few…

For a lot of these, LLMs would slow me down significantly. Most of the time I already know exactly what im looking for.

We must have wildly different workflows/ways to interact with the web.

Search is always faster than asking an LLM if I have a general idea of what I am looking for. I may consult an LLM if I want to compare things or kick off deep research, but most of the time I find myself having to go back and forth with it and correcting assumptions it made.

According to my Kagi stats, I am averaging around 3k searches per month.

I can’t help but feel that you are really missing out on a lot of results when just relying on LLMs for search.

It’s entirely designed by claude. Looks like every claude website out there.

Given the heavy LLM usage, i’d probably be a little concerned about the project’s longevity. I personally also can’t stand seeing that typeface on websites anymore…

The fact that this somehow has 3 USB-A ports immediately makes it completely irrelevant to me. Why would I ever want a device with multiple legacy ports like that? I have completely gotten rid of any USB-A devices in my daily life many years ago. Makes me wonder why they didn’t include a PS/2 and VGA as well.

HDMI 2.0, USB-A, Wifi-6E, BT 5.3. This is a legacy device.

Its fine for HomeLab use, but its not really an alternative to something like barman. Quite heavy and vibe-coded.

Haven’t used USB-A on my Laptop in years. Don’t even have an adapter.

OpenRouter performs much, much better than LiteLLM proxy. In my experience, if OpenRouter offers a model, the API will be supported. They also often have inference providers available that will perform much better than the default provider. Just as an example, Z.ai is sitting at around 10 token/s for GLM 5.1 while friendly is doing 70 token/s for the same model through OpenRouter.

LiteLLM proxy also adds quite some overhead as well.

I have personally settled on a mix of Bifrost as my router which connects to OpenRouter or some other providers that I deem more privacy friendly.
