Congrats, this looks very cool! I haven't tested it yet, but is it possible to make it work offline? I'd prefer devices running unsupported or unmaintained operating systems to avoid Internet access altogether.

Just received an email from Cerebras :

The current free API tier will remain available to you until August 17, 2026. On that date, your account will be transitioned to the new free credit-based experience. You’ll be required to add a payment method to unlock $5 in free credits to continue to use the service.

Funny little game, would be even funnier to have a system to roast the prose of a friend on social media or even a screenshot

This is satire

At least the wording is very clear. claude -p and agent SDK is fair game with subscription, so openclaw like usage is confirmed as ok.

In its current state Fable 5 is also unusable for any reverse engineering work

It's a great guide that is necessary because the documentation of Claude code is so lacking. It's a shame really, trillions of dollars, but not one man hour to make an agent on the ci to write the doc and a pr. It frustrates me, it has been like that for months, it's like nobody cares or find this normal.

Interesting article, but MBTI is not just contested, the concensus since the 90s is that MBTI is pseudoscience [1][2][3][4][5], so it's nearly 40 years.

Would have been interesting to test against the Big five instead !

But why ?

Europe progressively restricting ASML tech for the US may be the real bazooka, albeit the highly enriched uranium grade one. Would that make Trump behave a little bit more responsibly ? As those trains of thought surfaces more and more, all i can think of is a new global technological cold war.

Very good point on using local ai to avoid data centers costs.

Running AI models on local hardware was exploratory at first, and if it's so easy today it's thanks to open source. It's a little bit coincidental that we have this today, and that mainstream hardware have this capability. The fact that a phone can run very small models is exploratory or some kind of marketing opportunity at best.

Why would hardware company ships cards with more AI capabilites (like more VRAM) in the foreseable future ? On what ground does the marketing for on device AI will keep generating interest ? For something as important, it's very uncertain. But above all, it should not depends on these brittle justifications.

Showing good will in distribution and research prowess today is positive communication, but it can be exactly the oppositite if/when an attack using those small models will reach a high value target.

For China the cultural difference is so huge, it's difficult to say. I would think they first and foremost need to show to evryone inside and outside of China that they match american models. Second, i would say that when americans prefer few very powerfull companies on the get go because they can leverage a lot of capital rapidly to industrialize, China will prefer leveraging a lot of smaller companies exploring a lot of things simultanously (so doing a lot of research), THEN creating legislation to let only the best (or a few) to survive effectively. In the end it's the same result (monopoly or oligopoly), but China may have a stronger core (research) and America may have stronger productive capital, that may be proved obsolete... In the long run, in either side it's a gamble, again.

For the mainstream audience, the sentiment around local ai today is the same that they had around open source a few decades ago. For a few products, some paid solutions were so much more advanced that open source were very often completely overlooked. Why bother ? And the like. Then we had captive SaaS and other plateforms and now it's obviously wrong for most of us.

The dependency we have with anthropic and openai for coding for instance is insane. Most accept it because either they don't care, or they just hope chinese will never stop open weights. The business model of open weights is very new, include some power play between countries and labs, and move an absurd amount of money without any concrete oversight from most people.

It's a very dangerous gamble. Today incredible value is available for nearly everyone. But it may stop without any warning, for reason outside our control.

Quarkdown is a partial and interesting alternative : https://github.com/iamgio/quarkdown

Très sympa

There's something quietly poetic about a thread on declining cognitive performance where one of the top comment is "here's a video if you don't want to read."

Very informative, thank you. I was about to buy one of their products but this made me pause.

What you think would be the alternative in Europe ?

A little more context : in june 2024 at Computex, Tuxedo announced a possible christmas 2024 release [1]. A Qualcomm/Tuxedo collaboration was expected but did not materialize [2].

The main metric has always been care.

Care beat quality as a metric, because care is very inefficient to fake and very powerful when genuine.

How does the company providing the physical product or the service care ?

Most companies right now care about AI. Some integration are impressive. But where's real care about users ? It seems it's not the subject anymore. We may have tricked ourselves into beveling technology will resolve in itself all problems, and it's at its peak with AI. As engineers we can forget sometimes that technology is just a tool and its fine, but as a society it may leads us all in a bad direction.

Very nice, thank you !

It seems that another round is necessary, and VCs want AI. You and the CEO are competent and transparent. This is the premises.

You just need to have the conversation with the CEO, but in the right order.

Come to him/her with objective data, but without your conclusions or concerns, just your observations about where this is headed and if he sees at what rate this AI focus is eating ressources. Ask the CEO what it means for the company. Let him/her do the talking.

From this point, the CEO have the data and you have the company policy. Know you can talk on equal grounds on the matter with him or her. Good luck.

Haven’t played it yet, but if it’s good, I hope the eerie world of Morrowind is next !

What if high quality social interactions are not the norm for some kids, and these systems are giving an inspirational blueprint for what they crave and don't have access to ? In disfunctioning families, this can be a lifeline.

Last LLMs launches from top US AI labs were rather disappointing. Products seems under baked and mainly reactive... They oversold the capabilities of their future models when Deepseek landed to stay in the news at the time, but now that we look at the result it's not what everyone expected. And people are starting to question the hype, which is healthy but also very dangerous for these companies needing very large capital. It seems that some labs like Meta are unto something, but it's more research material for now than a short term product. Interesting times.

Extremely useful

Unfortunately, this might be the appropriate tone for dealing with the U.S. administration.

This Deep Whining® technique used by OpenAI is not very effective.

Very interesting take

There is an editable tasks list and in the settings menu you can choose to receive notifications via push and/or email.

It seems to demonstrate that if you're frail from the start it's statistically a bad omen.
