Do we even need 6G?

You can sue the owner, operator, or manufacturer of the bus. Have you dealt much with legal systems, particularly in USA?

Because a car killing somebody means there is someone (the owner, “driver,” manufacturer, etc.) for the victim’s family to sue. And while anyone can bring a lawsuit against anyone at any time, regardless of how frivolous, you can’t sue God

Yes, but those situations are irrelevant to this issue. The question is, who pays when your self-driving car injures or kills somebody? I assure you that the answer to that question is not “nobody.”

> If we want adoption, we would need it be placed in individual vehicles and it should look at removing driver liability. Liability is the biggest issue holding back widespread adoption, IMO. The tech is pretty good already. Yet accident

The speed of GLM 5.3 Flash on OpenRouter seems to vary considerably by provider. Some are fast and some are slow. OpenRouter does provide some tuning knobs, but not enough for my taste. It’s also token-heavy with reasoning, though I found i

I think you’re going to be swimming against the tide on this as computer interfaces are increasingly infused with AI at all levels (OS and apps). IMO, it’s more natural to anthropomorphize. Photoshop in 2010 was just an app, a tool that you

This is one of the reasons I use Pi. Pi’s minimal system prompt avoids contradiction between what the harness writer thinks is best and what the user thinks is best. The user specifies what the user wants and that’s pretty much the end of i

Perfect, thanks.

Okay, thanks. Yea, that’s a good deal as long as you’re satisfied with the models they offer. I didn’t see a listing of all the models but there was one screenshot that implied various open models (showed downrev versions of GLM, Kimi, etc.

What does Hyper give you that OpenCode doesn’t? Is it just the removal of the 5 hour limit? I looked at Hyper’s docs but it wasn’t clear exactly how the fine points work. Is it $20 for as much as you want of any model they support? They don

I’ve not heard anyone say that the whole thing is profitable. Companies like Anthropic have said that inference is profitable, but I assume that’s only on a steady state basis, which nobody in the industry has ever reached at this point. As

You’re going to get multiple tiers (as we already are). You’re always going to pay top dollar for frontier models, but you’re going to find things highly discounted if you’re willing to move off the frontier. See GLM 5.3 Flash, for instance

Thank you. That was lost on me, too.

Yes. And yet an amazing amount of work gets done with spreadsheets. Honestly, spreadsheets and databases are probably the app categories most responsible for business productivity over the last 50 years. PowerPoint is probably third.

Simon, at this point I really wonder if teams aren’t gaming this. You should pick a random animal doing a random thing every time.

Okay, but the comment I reacted to was not that. It was simply (paraphrasing) “I won’t use anything from Zuck/Meta.” If it had been, “Be careful because I have insider information that Zuck/Meta is using Muse Spark to do <inser

by drob518 14d ago
Gotta be honest that I’m tired of the “I hate Zuck and Meta so much” comments every time Meta does anything. Ditto Elon/X. Fine, I get it. I don’t like Zuck either. But the post is about Muse Spark 1.3. What do you think about that? If

by drob518 14d ago
Yes, really. You just proved the other poster’s point. He says “a lot of developers have not learned git IN DEPTH” and you respond by saying that’s not true because you’ve gotten away with just using a small subset. Git is quite powerful, b

DDR5 might be boring, but the high prices are strangling the tech market, including AI. It can’t keep this up much longer. Someone needs to step up and make more. I’m surprised the USA hasn’t offered money to TSMC, Intel, or Micron to expan

Of course the human UI should be first. Did anyone say anything different?

That was the first question that popped into my head as well. We’re now in the age of “AI all the things,” so it seems like every app needs an API or CLI of some sort. Everything needs to be machine accessible.

Of course they are. Of course they do. Nobody should be surprised by this.

Seems to be sort of triple store / datalog-ish.

Yep, agreed. Fly.io is the closest to Heroku that I’ve found.

Yea, I felt like I was perpetually at the top of a roller coaster and going over the hump, but never finding the bottom. And I like roller coasters. But no thanks. Not even sure what the benefits of this view really are.

Well, there goes the neighborhood. This is why we can’t have nice things.

I’m sure someone does, but I’ve never seen anything other than vague statements like Anthropic’s “inference is profitable” comment. I suspect everyone is playing everything close to the vest because they aren’t yet public and they want to c

I haven't noticed the Chinese models going up in price for the same model. They do release new versions of the models with different prices that are higher. But everybody is doing that. One fine point is that deepseek-v4-flash-0731 is
