Surprised no one's mentioned it so far, but CarPlay / Android Auto aren't just features, they're consistency. Across makes, models, years. I know what I'm getting when I connect my phone - and if anyone uses my car with their own device, they get their own dashboard, as well. One interesting use case I saw was a couple where one used a left-to-right interface and the other a right-to-left UI. CarPlay makes this easy, because the interface is linked to your own personal device.

Code review isn’t a singular thing. There are many reasons for code review, like knowledge sharing, liability laundering, code quality, regulatory compliance, etc. As usual, what purpose it serves depend on your use case.

There's another end to test, yet!

> The analysis uses a single metric: bugs per 10 commits (bugs/10c).

Bugs per commit as a metric papers over severity, both in terms of security severity as well as the effect on the user. A mislabeled button has the same weight as the entire app crashing in this framework.

Sort of, but the amnesia typically applies to writing characters, rather than reading them.

Pinyin is widely used, but pinyin’s primacy is oversold. Chinese texts start with teaching Chinese characters - many are recognizable to children from daily exposure to begin with, so they don’t need the pinyin. Pinyin only comes in when the character is genuinely unknown.

I get 24 hour access through my local library. Here, have a gift link https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/us/politics/fbi-arrest-ci...

This runs counter to the last 50 years of American propaganda espousing the inefficiency of government. If the Chinese government can just throw money at industries and have them flourish, why can't other governments?

I wonder how much of DeepSeek and Xiaomi's pricing cuts can be traced back to cheap energy in China.

What kinds of programs are you writing and with what models? I'm curious if the lifetimes your programs require are trickier than most.

The article makes no sense. I can't use OpenRouter as a general purpose computing device. Why are we comparing a whole computer to a single purpose SaaS?

> Flagship models usually do not do that without some convincing

Just a data point, but I’ve been having Claude do this regularly

> It will eventually doom zig to a smaller "artisanal" pool of contributors

“Artisanal” and “Zig” are just about synonymous

Anthropic's position is that thinking tokens aren't actually faithful to the internal logic that the LLM is using, which may be one reason why they started to exclude them:

Does LM Studio have an equivalent to the ollama launch command? i.e. `ollama launch claude --model qwen3.5:35b-a3b-coding-nvfp4`

If you’re interested in Chinese characters, there’s https://github.com/wenyan-lang/wenyan

There are multiple videos out there of reviewers running multiple “Pro” apps at the same time on the Neo. It’s an impressive machine.

Someone actually did fuzz the claude c compiler:

I have used it from China, actually. Not big enough to be blocked.

While we're on the topic, our school-issued Chromebooks allow unfettered access to YouTube. Yes, some of it is educational, but the kids can just click on the next video until they get what they want. Very convenient for you, Google Ads.

Ah, I think I get it. Are you saying that regardless of BYD’s continued existence, China will still have 1/3 of the world’s manufacturing capacity?

> They’ll nationalize and inflate away any institutional debt or wipe it out

This is just the reverse, actually, China isn’t afraid to go so far as to jail CEOs. There is no such thing as too big to fail in China, and all the Chinese domestic companies know it. The bailout playbook is a western thing.

> I was always hunting for Pokémon with better abilities, better type coverage, analyzing synergy between moves… If you’ve ever played a mainline Pokémon game before, you must know how utterly unnecessary this is. Twenty years ago, I would have just powered through on Blastoise or Typhlosion alone.

I definitely beat the first Pokemon games with a level 100 Charizard. I even defeated gyms that were strong against fire types, often KO'ing Pokemon in one hit. The text would say "It's not very effective..." and then the opponent's health bar would drop to zero. So yeah, these games are easy enough that a 10yo can get by with twinking out a single pokemon. Makes the blog post even funnier

I haven't used it in anger myself, but if you know Elixir and Phoenix you might like Gleam, which compiles to Javascript.

They're definitely investing in the chips as well. It's an ecosystem play.

You see similar levels of hypocrisy leveled at the capacity for Chinese EVs to surveil consumers, but not at Tesla, when we know that Tesla employees had access to sex tapes of their customers in their cars. As long as it’s western capital or western police doing the surveillance, it must be permissible, right? /s

We should be clamping down on all surveillance, and this is not a problem that has a technological solution. Quite the reverse, actually.

Ah, but the number of people who are capable of this type of work who could be imprisoned is quite large!
