One thing that bothered me enough to comment on: "transcoding" doesn't seem like the right term in this context. "Encode/decode" is technically correct, but "compress/decompress" would have made

Is there any concern/issue regarding Claude’s context limit?

For anyone that like to do DIY, that's not a work tool, that's a play tool that is coincidentally a work tool to do work.

Not off topics at all. That massive investment must be baked by something with a bigger ROI than just a chatbot.

The same day, a post on reddit was about: "We built 3B and 8B models that rival GPT-5 at HTML extraction while costing 40-80x less - fully open source" [1]. Not fully equivalent to what is doing Skyvern, but still an interesting a

XSLT/XPath have evolved since XSLT 1.0. Features are now available like key (index) to greatly speedup the processing. Good XSLT implementation like Saxon definitively helps as well on the perf aspect. When it comes to transform XML t

Appreciate your input, but if you haven’t actually tested the VSCode integration, it’s hard to compare. Reading a feature list isn’t the same as using the tool.

Not comparable. I did test VSCode and IntelliJ on agentic, MCP, and IntelliJ is for the moment far behind.

Is your affirmation based on a testing of both plugin? I'm genuily wondering the plugin quality as IntelliJ plugin is still in beta and the VScode one not

VSCode is really the primary platform for AI/agentic plugins, receiving priority over other IDEs such as IntelliJ, this is understandable as it is free, supporting many languages, and really good. As a long-time IntelliJ user, I’m begi

Most of the case it is because more building is simply not possible. And anyway as long as there is no restrictions on the day-rental, investor will choose the option in their economical self-interest. Restriction must apply to force long t

Same feeling, so much words and story telling just for that.

In addition the graph "Massive VRAM Savings" graph states what looks like a tautology, reducing from 16 bits to 4 bits leads unsurprisingly to a x4 reduction in memory usage

It seems quite logical to me as well. An LLM is not a logical computing system but it has the knowledge on how to do a multiplication

Genuine question: would these batteries be always connected to the grid with enough power and capacity to feed the demand?
