wow, did not expect blender to be 32 years old, thanks for correcting me.

but still, they were open sourced about 1 year apart. I still think having a bigger user base is a good reason for the difference

Or Thunderbird is much older and has a lot more users

Unlees you invest thousands your local ai won't even come close to the cheap cloud llms. Local is only worth it if you care about privacy or have a legitimate usage for the hardware otherwise. Money wise it isn't worth it

that's how it works in my country, though there are no denies, almost 90% of transactions over 20-30$ will require I go into my bank app and confirm it.

rarely a big transaction will go through without 2FA but I've never had a transaction declined outright without first asking me to 2FA from the bank app

since pi is built to modify itself, isn't it better to use a language like typescript where LLMs have a LOT of training data?

a harness doesn't do any computations by itself so what benefit is using a compiled language?

yes, this is basically experimental tech, if used with open source harnesses. if used with proprietary harnesses, treat as actual malware.

considering plants grow just fine with grow lights, they don't really care. same with co2, they LOVE CO2

and what has come of your new stance since you renounced being a hobbit?

I'm not a hobbit, I don't particularly stay out of trouble, I fight injustice where I can, practically. Following political narratives and having political arguments with other people who will take no action except vote does not bring real change.

Changing someone's political stance is nigh impossible, but even if you do manage to do it to a few people, they won't become zealots like you and propagate the change. You might need a couple hundred hours of discourse to change a single person's mind and in the grand scheme of things, 1-2 people are insignificant.

politics is a classic double bind where the only winning move is not to play

there is enough corruption and evil in politics for me to just refuse to play the game, even the game you suggest of choosing the least evil of two clearly evil options.

If you try to play that game your mind gets hijacked like all the political discussion in this commend section. Thinking you are fighting the good fight when you're just siding with evil either way you lean.

Want to bring real change to the world? Fix the stuff you can, go out there in your local community and volunteer. Commenting on the internet won't do anything, neither is getting into political arguments over dinner with acquintances.

I, personally, have no power to allow or disallow corruption in any way shape or form. Shouting on the internet is not disallowing corruption.

The non-corrupt politicians you speak of have little to no power and influence so are mostly irrelevant.

and what are the consequences? angry people on message boards?

According to gemini, musk has made over 600B since trump took power. you think a few hundred people in this comment section calling him a nazi has any effect on him?

Wake up, the people in power are corrupt regardless of their political orientation. There are no saints in politics. This has been true since times immemorial with few exceptions.

I don't see how it was in bad faith considering if you ask google "what moral system claims that oral and anal sex are immoral regardless of the genders involved" it immediately spits out catholicism. I'd say rather, you are arguing in bad faith, framing my reply as hiding something when it is very easy to find the context I had in mind.

It was the first thing that came to mind that I'm pretty sure would offend over 90% of Americans

How is any of the ideological points in the culture war.. a truth?

What I said is a truth claim of orthodoxy and catholicism.

Any moral system has a set of axioms, you may not agree with them or how they got to be axioms but you can not contest their existence

Which is worse, trying to cut govt costs or trying to create a godlike entity subservient to you? I'd say their ambitions are far more evil even if they don't achieve it. To them cutting govt costs is to us like mowing the lawn before the tornado comes

Explain that oral and anal sex is immoral regardless of the genders involved. Without offending anyone of course

Love the font on the blog

your first mistake is thinking this would cost that much. with DS4 this might cost far less than 1k imo

Humans have time-cost too, much higher than machines. Considering SOTA right now, for a project like this it would make more sense for the community to contribute and verify tests, sponsor updates with $.

any OS INT we contribute can be by definition used by intel agencies. such is the way of the world.

if your rep depends so much on visual aesthetics then I'd say you don't have much rep to begin with. if someone trusts me they'll buy whatever I say regardless of how it looks, and likewise if I trust somebody to recommend a piece of hardware I know the aesthetics are irrelevant and they know more than I do about the specs compared to the competition.

the fact that there are 10+ harnesses means you are wrong.

Also, if other harnesses need to work without the literal SOTA then they need to be better than Claude Code. If their incentive is to reduce token usage then again, they will evolve to be better than CC

How does it stifle competition / innovation? You can use other harnesses, pay API for anthropic models or cheap chinese models.

You're just upset that you don't get to use their VC money the way you want to use it lol. It either is a good deal or it isn't, if it is just say, thanks free VC money, if it isn't say fuck you.

Sure but no one can do anything about your free will. This is about being fair, any ideas to make the system fairer?

This framing local LLMs as free is stupid. Basically pay 100+ months worth of API costs up front isn't free in the slightest. And it will be slower than non-local, your hardware will be outdated in 12 months and probably won't be able to run SOTA at anywhere near non-local speed in max 20 months

So you are using the API directly in your own harness without the subscription?

What evidence is there that you or me can steer Google off this path?

Can you stop wars around the world? Can you make crypto dissapear? There are a multitude of global trends that 99.9999% of people are helpless about
