mobelkh··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
flattens the entire city? absolutely not, this is not a standard anyone should consider normal
mobelkh··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
cities do not get systematically flattened with bulldozers in urban warfare, you only completely wipe out cities when you don't want any the civilians to come back.
mobelkh··on Unknown number of Texas voter registrations went unprocessed due to DPS error
why can't you do the process when you vote?
mobelkh··on MiMo v2.6
well, it is true. there is a price ceiling for intelligence, there were news about how adoption of fable was lower than expected, only hitting 11% of enterprise spending for customers with anthropic, iirc 26% for Sol with openai customers.

in any case, I've been using open and closed models since sonnet 4, i remember when the best I could get was qwen 3 480b coder, you can definitely feel the gap closing going from that and GLM 4.5, to GLM 5.3, DeepSeek Flash V4.1, Kimi K3 etc, it's reached the point where i wish I had V4.1 at work, it's faster and bullshits me less when I use it in my personal projects. And I have unlimited access to fable 5.1

mobelkh··on Fable 5 – Median thinking declined in August
is it? it's still the same model, they can claim the quantization down to q4 still retains 98% of the performance therefore it's fine.

nothing on the fine print tells you what the weights are, you're just getting Fable 5, whatever that is

mobelkh··on Fable 5 – Median thinking declined in August
but there is a gap between benchmarks and user feel.

Opus 5 came out with better benchmark results than Fable, but it really did not feel better to use at all.

mobelkh··on HarnessTax: How Much Does the Harness Matter for Coding Agents?
what does it do too much out if the box? afaik it only has the basic tools and two agents profiles, maybe lsp support is extra?
mobelkh··on Garry Tan wants US open-weight AI labs to 'distill' frontier models, too
why can't I use the tokens i paid for anyway?
mobelkh··on Arm Mali G2-Ultra NX GPU: desktop-class mobile gameplay with AI-native graphics
the switch, steam deck and competitors will likely look into ARM, the cheaper ones already use it, flagship and gaming phones, the latter is bigger than you think, normal mobile gaming is big in third world countries and china, and emulation continuous to get better, I can ToTK and The Witcher 3 (windows version) on my phone, and it's a few years old flagship
mobelkh··on GPT-6 Astra in code review: Gains, privacy, and cost
throw his garbage out, the time and effort taken to review that is magnitudes more than what it took to prompt it.

have him start with an overall design doc if his change is 15k, it's definitely worth a design doc.

and then have his contributions reviewed in pieces of 200-300 LoC PRs.

any other solution is trading stability and system knowledge, that's 15k LoC no one is truly familiar with, even if you do try to review it

mobelkh··on Google avoids a breakup of its ad tech business
i would argue, the NSA not being up to some bullshit is more unlikely, and thus has the burden of proof on it, to assume otherwise is to ignore history and basic incentives these orgs have.
mobelkh··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
oh yea, let me just uproot myself because immigration took too long and my company didn't want to wait.

I'll just cancel my rental agreement, move my furniture across continents, cancel my other subscriptions, oh wait that's got a few month notice period so I'll have to pay up for months I don't need anymore, let alone all the friendships and social connections I made that I never got to say a proper goodbye to.

This is extremely unappealing to skilled workers, and the loss of trust will extend past this current administration, if all it takes is one idiot in office to upend your life, you can't trust that country and its people anymore.

mobelkh··on Disruption with Some GitHub Services – Resolved
they want that jira <-> bitbucket integration
mobelkh··on Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things
would be great as an opt-in though

were you running the MoE models? those perform better speed wise
mobelkh··on If coding has been solved, why does software keep getting worse?
> disproving this “AI isn’t making software better” claim

one company deciding a feature freeze is not disapproving anything, in fact, it means things have gotten so bad, apple who used to have higher standards for their releases, had to pull the brakes and fix their shit

mobelkh··on Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now
can't imagine rewriting a runtime to be easier than a coding harness
mobelkh··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
I wouldn't say competition is "most of the time", any market that saturates just turns to shit, incumbents can kill off any upstart competition while squeezing customers dry, not to mention fields that should have a baseline (e.i. healthcare), because squeezing customers dry there literally kills people
mobelkh··on My Software North Star
the piece didn't really seem very targeted at Rust as much as it's targeted at projects claiming to be secure just because they're written in Rust
mobelkh··on Tokenomics: Quantifying Where Tokens Are Used in Agentic Software Engineering
it is falling if you look elsewhere, deepseek made their 75% discount on their V4 models permanent, on one hand there's LLM improvements that make inference cheaper (e.i. MoE, hybrid attention), on the other hand we're getting more inference focused chips that break the nvidia monopoly.

i don't think a lot of people know this, but a cluster of GPUs can serve multiple clients without much of a drop in performance, e.i. worst case scenario you band together with 6-16 people to run a 2-3 H100 server to host deepseek V4 Flash or 4-6 to run Pro, and you're getting the same performance as if you ran it alone, this means a lot of companies can afford throwing 50-100k into their own LLM server cluster.

We're at a price point where if you push it further people will move, there's no real vendor lock in, your agent config, skills, MCP servers etc are all reusable with other models and harnesses, so unless you get all providers to collude on a price hike, you risk an exodus of customers
