You mean no portrait?

Correct. According to https://minimaxir.com/2026/05/openrouter-hy3/#llm-economics-... [0] when served by DeepSeek, Cache Read Costs/Input Costs are a very low percentage:

  DeepSeek V4 Pro    0.83%
  DeepSeek V4 Flash  2%

Notice that OpenRouter response caching is not available when account-level ZDR is enforced [1]

Indeed according to Apple https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/due-to-dma-siri-ai-de... when allowing equal access for competing AI products

> MiMo V2.5 Pro ... lower cached price

At the moment of writing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48343690 MiMo V2.5 Pro had a lower cache hit ratio. From the article:

OSS models, depending on who you use them from, make a huge difference, mostly due to cache-hit rates.

  Model                   Cheapest effectiveInputPrice (Provider)  
  MiMo-V2.5-Pro           0.3720 (Xiaomi) 
  DeepSeek V4 Pro (Max)   0.0560 (DeepSeek)

I respectfully disagree. The main argument that is completely ignored and not reacted to “humans can adapt, they behave different in different circumstances, eg. wear thicker coats in northern Sweden than in the southern areas”. Our huge brains allow for creative solutions to changing circumstances, also bakers and other workers can adapt. If they don’t for political reasons, then societies die or diminish.

> Market prices in the electricity grid do not work to incentivized lower consumption, and the latest few energy crisis in EU has demonstrated that clearly.

The prices haven’t changed much, less than factor 2. Far too little to see any change in consumption indeed. If bread is too expensive to produce during some periods switch to Knäckebröd or Müsli products that, now I think of it, are Swedish probably for the reason that they can be stored for prolonged periods and replace bread when that is unavailable in harsh wintertimes.

> right now Hydro energy is being primarily sold off by private actors

It happens all over the world, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons is an alternative that historically has been successful.

Both users and companies could be incentivized to lower their consumption of electricity by increasing the price astronomical during periods of scarcity. A minimum of 1 Ampere per household without surcharge and beyond that enough to pay off the infrastructure. Taking a sauna or charging your car during peak times would costs, let’s say, €500. Assuming that in the north of Sweden there is ample Hydro energy, in the north the surcharge would be lower than in the south.

I strongly believe people and organizations would accommodate, just like during winter times in the north of Sweden one wears a different coat than in the south. But with the current system one isn’t incentivized to adapt power consumption to cost and hence more & more costs are made to build power lines from the north to feed the south of Sweden. And the same for standby fossil fuel plants.

Also prepaid electricity bills with automatic cutoff when exceeding, remaining 1 Ampere. Similar to the days when homes/tents would be heated by burning wood, during summertime one needs to collect enough firewood for the whole winter. Different times but in concept nothing new.

I've seen barbers before Covid not accepting cash, after Covid happy to accept cash. The Covid rules for subsidies were very strict, sometimes having to repay all as they didn't fully comply. Cash gives protection against bankruptcy due to unfortunate rules.

Notice that Hy3 Preview usage didn’t go down after the free period was over https://openrouter.ai/tencent/

The list of apps using Hy3 Preview shows Hermes Agent causing 65% usage over the last 3 weeks https://openrouter.ai/tencent/hy3-preview/apps

  Hermes Agent      72B

  OpenHands          9B

  Kilo Code          8B

Indeed after the pandemic many more bike, for what I've seen a considerable percentage e-bikes, maybe understandably given the hills and distances in Paris, but imho not the everyday cardio exercise one needs.

IMHO main benefit of bunny.net is that as an Slovenian company they adhere to the GDPR, no GAG orders, and offer an Data Processing Agreement (DPA) when Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is involved.

See https://bunny.net/gdpr/. Also noticed this:

While uncommon, bunny.net also provides a way to block users from the EU from accessing your content altogether by using our traffic manager tools if you do not wish to serve users from the European Union. Which I assume can be reversed, only serving to users from the EU.

Nice privacy policy. They store the absolute minimum PII.

Do you have more details on this? A book, a blog, an article?

Walk Through Walls: A Memoir https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/288046/walk-through-walls-by... also covers her relationship with Ula.

Easy read, personal & entertaining. Highly recommended.

Great research and write-up, maybe a bit too elaborate.

Will be interesting to see if a public outcry will happen once these boxes start arriving at those who funded the kickstarter.

India and China are huge countries with very small percentage river deltas. Not comparable by any means. Bangladesh in a very young country that inherited it’s culture from India. I’m not an anthropologist, but sorry, I don’t agree there is any likeness with these countries.

If you have an other theory about the Dutch culture and why it is so different from it’s neighbors, I happy to hear.

IMHO the Dutch are more direct for the same reason they are less sensitive to authority and approach their superiors as equals.

Netherlands effectively being a River Delta, there always was the threat of water, a force greater than anyone. IOW if a flood comes, both the king and the peasant start digging.

This is completely different from neighboring countries UK and Germany, which both traditionally had strong sense of hierarchy and not contradicting the master.

No, you’re not the only person. I use it to read news, blogs & hckrnews. Probably more than 2h per day. Often in an IKEA bamboo Bergenes, which I have several laying around the house, upside down with a usb-c cord charging it till 80%.

The person https://www.linkedin.com/in/vvoss/ seems to exist, I even have a mutual linkedin connection. What makes you think the “person” behind it doesn't even appear to exist?
