in my experience, gemini is easily the most grating, condescending, stereotypical LLM voice between opus/fable, codex-5.6, glm-5.2, etc

I believe this is also why 911 doesn't show up in iOS/Android call logs

I guess this is a command in the GUI app? I still don't see it in the latest official codex CLI app (0.144 I think)

maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't want to sign into the app on a mac - I want to run the CLI on a headless linux server and control the sessions from my iPhone. Does Codex allow that now?

I am curious about the claim that the subscription models are different. Has anyone benchmarked this?

I have used claude and codex extensively but only from their CLI app (heavily sandboxed using rootless podman, network filtering, etc), so I don't really know what I'm missing with the GUI apps.

One killer feature that Claude has, and AFAIK Codex still lacks, is the ability to start a session in the terminal and then hand it off (actually just remotely control it), from the iOS app.

Last time I tried Codex on iOS it required a ton of set up to link a github project etc. The way claude lets me remote into a session I've already started on my actual machine is much better IMHO.

This is also the dichotomy I'm seeing. This meme sums it up https://fixupx.com/danhockenmaier/status/2021617680525172840

I like to imagine a similar dynamic happening when previous transformative technologies were invented: when the power tools like the chainsaw were invented, I wonder if there was a cohort of carpenters that dismissed them because of how much damage they could do in unskilled hands.

what I was taught (and what still works for me) is to look out the front window, never the sides, and pick a as far away (ideally on the horizon) to focus on.

the theory being, at constant velocity in a straight line, your body feels at rest, so you want to look somewhere that reinforces that. looking out the side window has scenery rushing past, which is the opposite.

turning sideways and reading sounds like a nightmare.

I am a big fan of computer science education for kids that uses a light touch, or even completely offline - things like Computer Engineering for Babies, Turing Tumble, or any game that introduces basic concepts with intuition as opposed to showing the final product of decades of abstraction.

I'd love to hear more about the STEM week one, if there's anything online you can share. What's the target age range?

which quants of 3.5 vs 3.6 did you compare? I guess you're saying that whatever quant you were using, going one lower was worse? ie. 3.5 Q6_K at 22.5GB versus 3.5 Q6_K at 22.9GB?

Supporting everything forever is how you end up with Windows

would it blow your mind if I told you there are already idiosyncrasies in the way you write? not you specifically; everyone has them

I agree it's not immediately clear how it works, although I think I understand the role it's intending to fill.

If you're not familiar with the distinction between git and github it could be even more confusing.

As soon as I hear decentralized I have lots of questions about the underlying protocols. Their protocol page helps a little but also uses terms I'm not familiar with like "gossip protocol".

It would be nice for there to be a page that motivates the project a bit more, ie. explaining the technical problems they are attempting to solve before enumerating the components of the complex system they've built.

A lot of the distrust toward Bambu is because they originally announced cloud auth would be required even for printing locally in LAN mode, and only backpedalled on that when they saw the backlash.

I'm not sure why their entire domain has been excluded from archive.org but you can still see the original post for now: https://blog.bambulab.com/firmware-update-introducing-new-au...

Critical Operations That Require Authorization The following printer operations will require authorization controls:

Binding and unbinding the printer. Initiating remote video access. Performing firmware upgrades. Initiating a print job (via LAN or cloud mode). Controlling motion system, temperature, fans, AMS settings, calibrations, etc.

This is how it's used in Canada too

They claim it has a haptic trackpad, so I don't think that's what most manufacturers use.

It was called Twitter for 17 years before being renamed in 2023. The Twitter domain still redirects to roughly the same site it was for all those years.

Why does it matter if someone still calls it Twitter?

the rest of it makes sense but what's the PLC for?

How do they have budget for this but not for decent production values on the Artemis 2 livestream?

I suppose by this logic, if someone was pressured by their parents to get good grades and struggled, it’s possible that “getting a good grade” would have a negative connotation / emotions response for them.

I'm not a lawyer but even if it was, eg. a year's salary at the time she accepted it, is that really a fair price for a lifetime of silence?

As a cynical person I assume all the frontier LLMs were trained on datasets that include every open source project, but as a thought experiment, if an LLM was trained on a dataset that included every open source project _execept_ chardet, do you think said LLM would still be able to easily implement something very similar?

As an aside, it’s crazy that Ray Ban would hitch their most valuable brand cachet to such a controversial wagon

Off topic but if anyone is looking for a nice web-GUI frontend for a locally-hosted transcription engine, Scriberr is nice

That's pretty cool. I'm guessing you're American, not Canadian, right? I didn't realize American schools had co-ops; I thought they mostly/solely had internships.

Yeah the first three paragraphs of the article really resonated strongly and then the fourth was an ad for mastodon, which is only slightly less bad IMHO.

You can get co-op/internship that requires a Top Secret clearance?

didn't mattermost recently make some changes to their license that put a bunch of features behind a paywall?

I can sort of understand this. There are certain songs, eg. a song from my wedding, that hit like a (good) ton of bricks every time I hear them, but I wouldn't want to listen to it every day because I feel like I would have more and more banal experiences cumulatively associating with the song until the wedding feeling becomes just one of many and starts to lose its association.
