I love Mistral and I use it whenever I don't care about quality. For example, it's my go to model for generating git commit messages by leveraging their free codestral model. I wouldn't pay for it though.

I don't use skills unless I have something specific to tell the agent. For example, if I want the agent to use Tailwind V3 instead of V4, I'll have a skill for that. Or, if I want the agent to always use the repository pattern for

AI is creating Art, Code, and Music, but only boring stuff that nobody cares about anyway. Sure, AI can generate your logo, or mix some music that you can play at a party, but at some point, people will call you out for feeding them garbage

Managers are pushing non-trivial code that experienced engineers shouldn't be writing anyway. If you're worried about not being able to write git commit messages anymore, then you might have been in the wrong career in the first p

It's not true at all. I recently vibe coded a REST API in Golang even though I never wrote any production Go code. However, I had to make copious use of my previous experience as an engineer to achieve quality. You can see this in the

By the time we spend all the earths resources to train AI models so that cancer is cured, we could have spent those same resources training real humans. The literacy rate of undeveloped countries is still abysmal. We could train more people

AI is cheap right now thanks to governments or VCs agreeing to lose money. I can use DeepSeek to code all day thanks to the CCP. Nuclear power benefits everyone. Who does AI benefit apart from a few vibe coders and a small amount of knowled

Unlike western powers, The Ottoman empire didn't use slavery and colonialism to create capital. Instead, it wanted slaves so that it could grow its military. The west also made its goal to create a new world order while the Ottoman emp

Exactly. I'm a nerd too and we nerds can real hypocrites because we spend too much time alone. I will happily turn a blind eye to world suffering if it means I get to work less but get paid the same. AI CEOs aren't different. At s

It's certainly a great thing that AI is improving (I use AI to write code daily myself), but I wouldn't be calling it impressive because it's essentially all about money and government backing. At some point, the chickens are

The west thrived by leveraging slavery and colonialism at the expense of everyone else. Then democracies were built by moving away from both slavery and colonialism so that the world can grow as a whole. It's possible that we'll h

I don't find it jaw-dropping because the idea is quite simple. Just feed the model an enormous amount of unethically sourced data, build data centers that cause droughts, and use all chips available so that normal people can't aff

The Stranger is good, but I have trouble stick with his other works past the first few chapters because of the tedious and boring aspects you mentioned. I was never a fan of French literature to begin with, so that might have something to d

Two great things about Tailwind: - AI already have data about its classes in their training data - No conflicting styles This means that AI doesn't need to reference any existing stylesheets when generating new styles, which is great f

I've been using the GLM coding plan. During off-peak hours, usage for GLM-5.1 uses only 1x of your quota, which means you get Sonnet-like quality for a fraction of the cost.

You don't need to manage spam if you're willing to moderate comments yourself. But a plugin to integrate with Akismet can be installed in a single click. To get the same thing with an SSG, you'll have to either build your own

Wordpress is better because it's easy to setup these days, can be fast if you enable caching, and has a comment system, which is a big deal if you want people to interact with your content. Other things like contact forms can easily be

Because human singers will usually sing about what they like. They will use their own life experience and imagination to write and sing songs. Other people may or may not like them. AI will only sing songs that other people like, so AI sing

I moved to GLM-5.1 with their coding plan. It's better than both Opus and Sonnet, while costing a ton less. But it does slow down sometimes during peak hour, but I'm a patient man.

Reddit is doomed anyway. People are using AI to start threads, and other people are using AI to comment on these threads. You can never know what you're interacting with.

Cool. I'm also interested in moving to BKK soon and was seeing a lot about the pollution there. I guess I'll see for myself when I get there.

How long have you lived in BKK for, and has your health deteriorated because of the pollution?
