The EUIPO found that the word "open" would be understood by the relevant public as meaning freely accessible, while the combination with "AI" (artificial intelligence) would be interpreted as referring to products based on openly accessible artificial intelligence.

for certain software and information technology goods and services, the term is purely descriptive and therefore lacks the distinctiveness required for trademark protection

edit: add the latter statement

GLM 5.2 vs. Opus 1 month ago

Opus 4.8 built in Claude Code; GLM-5.2 built in Pi over OpenRouter.

It would be more interesting and accurate to see the comparison on the same harness if the intent is to compare the frontier models.

Pi is relatively new and does not have many features built-in compared to Claude Code. It was chosen intentionally this way as Pi's goal is not to create a bloat builtin of tools most don't use but to allow the users to customize to fit their need -- similar to Neovim vs IDE.

The end-user "vibe coding" experience is *heavily* swayed by the harness because prompt effectively drives how a model outputs an answer.

I heavily using Deepseek V4 Pro for a personal project because I cannot afford Opus, and spent ~1B token last two weeks for just $40 which would've costed ~$1300 using Opus 4.8. Realistically Opus cost will be lower assuming more "intelligent" model would've produced less code with fewer conversation but I doubt it'll be cheaper than ~$500.

I'm curious to know how they can they offer at such a cheap price. Some say it's electricity surplus in China and/or government subsidy. It'll be a very interesting read if there's an extensive study on their economics.

   1.1B (cache reads) * $0.5 = ~576
   39M (ache miss) * $5 = ~199
   21M (output) * $25 = ~529
   Opus 4.8 = 1304

   1.1B (cache reads) * $0.003625 = ~4.17
   39M (ache miss) * $0.435 = ~17.3
   21M (output) * $0.87 = ~18.4
   Deepseek V4 Pro = ~40

I want to emphasize "unknowingly" part. Once data is uploaded to an entity, there's no guarantee they'll manage is properly.

User agreements change constantly, engineers make mistake, firms get liquidated and data might get sold, and most importantly, as a former employee of social media firms, what the firms say about the user privacy publicly is very different inside.

Exactly.

The problem with photo since the birth of social media is that it's permanently stored in the internet, literally.

Photos used to be personal and (mostly) temporary. I may take a photo in public, develop, then share with the close ones and store in the photo book. Photo may be somehow passed onto others but likely thrown away eventually when I become less of importance to them, and it'll worn out.

With photos now uploaded to social media or the "cloud", they exist permanently as a means of backups, sold to 3rd party (knowingly or unknowingly) analyzed to "improve the experience of the platform".

It's more alarming that US doesn't have enough skilled teachers in the nation that we have to hire from overseas.

Education is an investment to the future generation and must not be overlooked.

I don't quite understand the intent of such article other than to promote themselves given an odd timing that the company is planning on going public, so I can only conclude that this is just part of the IPO roadshow.

LLMs certainly have made significant changes to our lives, but I haven't yet to see any extraordinary improvement it brought to me which makes me skeptical about their claims.

_if_ it solves many of our problems of great magnitude, why haven't Anthropic used it to solve significant problems we, humans, face? Cancer, Alzheimer's, education, finding new materials, fission power plant, etc.

I believe surveillance can only work in society at a very small scale.

Surveillance == Information == Power.

Who then, manages the surveillance? You? Me? A government?

How do I trust them?

*Trust* is the fundamental problem with surveillance.

An innocent person was killed on a street. Surveillance camera on every corner of the street would've easily caught the murderer.

Who manages the recording? An individual? Entity? A government? How do I know they aren't face-tagging and selling the data?

It's always about trust.

An interesting case to consider is Seoul, South Korea which actually has cameras almost on very corner of the street. In my view, general population prefers streets recorded to avoid aforementioned situation, and it can only work if people have trust in the government. In the US contrary, my view is that the disconnect between the government and the people are too wide to have such trust.

It's somewhat deceiving practice IMO although it could simply be my insecurity.

Along with the empty page, it says "Your watch history is off" in bold then says "... change your setting ... to get the latest video tailored to you"

It sounds as if I'm missing out on latest videos which, technically true, but I wonder if that wording is necessary. It could've just said "Update the settings here to get recommendations". But of course for-profit companies need to make profit :)

I suggest turning off recommendation if you dislike what they suggest

My YT landing page is completely blank and need to go "subscription" tab to see newly uploaded vids from the ones I subscribe to

It's quite nice not having to view all kinds of random stuff YT wants me to see

Other governments do, but not as much as China does.

Healthcare in South Korea for example is government managed and it is one of the best healthcare in the world.

I believe utility companies are also government owned.

Also some of the well known companies now were practically government owned during the Park dictatorship in the 70s.

I wouldn't use the term "Flourish" as what you hear and see is strictly controlled

Some other costs that may incur:

- Pool

- HOA

- HOA (if the community belong to larger community association that maintains things like park)

Summerlin area in Las Vegas for example have summerlin association you pay HOA to in addition to your residential HOA.

Have you observed Bun have more segfaults, OOMs, etc, since the Rust rewrite? Have you noticed more security vulnerabilities? Have you seen more bugs? (Of course you haven't, the rewrite hasn't even landed yet.)

Your argument could go other way too. Why haven't they landed if they're so confident with the change?

The idea is similar to maintaining on-prem vs cloud

Cloud is optimized for development velocity but its nature of high margin business eventually makes on-prem more promising

It could be too late but it might be worth looking into tax saving if you have a business. Depreciation of asset is a loss and may deduct your income. (I'm NOT a tax expert)

Perhaps Github, by default, should add its own .gitignore that ignores files with certain keyword and have it only allowed to override by repo setting.

I've seen too many incidents when an engineer checks in a plaintext password to a repo
