rmi_on Best LLM for every budget, updated daily

I wrote (i.e. let AI write) something like this for Opencode Go: https://6bj.de/aaogo/go_value_report.html

It compares Artificial Analysis scores against usage limits on Opencode Go, so I can see where to waste my quota most efficiently. Updated whenever I feel like it.

rmi_on $500 GPU outperforms Claude Sonnet on coding benchmarks

Wild benchmark. Opus 4.6 is ranked #29, Gemini 3 Flash is #1, front of Pro.

I'm not saying it's bad, but it's definitely different than the others.

rmi_on Moving from GitHub to Codeberg, for lazy people

Just push to that instance, or, as Linus intended, send patches via e-mail.

rmi_on Claude March 2026 usage promotion

Oh, you're right. I don't know why I've always misread "current session" as daily.

Thanks for clearing that up. It'll help me schedule stuff in the future.

rmi_on Claude March 2026 usage promotion

My usage only shows daily and weekly, though. I never got that.

rmi_on Claude Sonnet 4.6

Thanks! I really like your benchmark.

Why is GLM-5 x's, though?

rmi_on Bullet Garden – a Vampire Survivors-like game in a single 85KB HTML file

The link leads to some kind of sound game for me?

rmi_on Death and What Comes Next (2002)

I've always wondered if this (kinda widespread?) theory stems from most people thinking that "infitnity" includes every possible option, which is not true.

(I'm a layman, too)

rmi_on Apple has announced its final version of macOS for Intel

While Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 completely, Apple is just stopping feature upgrades. Apple usually supports old OS versions for years to come, especially when it's the only supported version for a lot of devices. So no, Intel Macs don't need to be retired.

rmi_on Cult of the Dead Cow – Veilid (2023)

No: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_the_Dead_Cow

rmi_on XZ backdoor: "It's RCE, not auth bypass, and gated/unreplayable."

> So unless that key is leaked

But, just for replayability, we could "patch" the exploit with a known key and see what it does, don't we?

rmi_on Stable Diffusion 3

Tell me what they mean by "safety controls" first. It's very vaguely worded.

DALL-E, for example, wrongly denied serveral request of mine.

rmi_on Passit: Open-Source Password Manager

Sorry, I don't use Linux much, so I don't have a recommendation. But one of the key advantages of a Keepass-Database is that theres loads of clients, so maybe try another.

rmi_on Passit: Open-Source Password Manager

I don't know about importing from Bitwarden, but a normal Keepass-database will work for you. All you need is a way to sync a file between all your devices. KeePassium on iOS is Open Soruce and integrates very well.

rmi_on Mullvad Leta: A search engine used in the Mullvad Browser

Wonder how it compares to other privacy-minding Google-proxies, such as startpage.com

rmi_on Intel Shows 2.5D FPGA at ISSCC

I'd be very surprised if Intel doesn't have running Ryzen silicon in their Labs right now.

rmi_on Jailbreaking the Kindle

Probabaly remove the ads from the subsidised version.

rmi_on Facebook will force advertising on ad-blocking users

I am really interested in the technical details. I think we have yet to see a working (and practical) approach to this.

rmi_on Never ever write software for Oculus

Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/4dafji/never_e...

Most noteable:

> If the Terms Of Service didn't make you feel uneasy, try this one: https://www.oculus.com/en-us/legal/privacy-policy/

rmi_on µBlock for Firefox

There are lists available that block the same things as Ghostery. So yes, it does replace that.

Not NoScript, though.
