  1. I have a feeling you are using SOTA models at work and aren't used to just how cheap the non-Anthropic/Google/OAI options are these days. GLM's coding subscription is like $6/month if you buy a full year.
  2. Reading the parent comment, I assume their use of 'freedom' more closely aligns with being undisturbed by a government.

    It's a very common usage in America, focusing on "Freedom from X" rather than "Freedom to do Y", the latter of which often needs some sort of societal protection, most often provided by said government.

  3. I use monarch and I've been happy enough with it. Would probably consider self-hosting with actual in the future, but I wanted an easy on-ramp for myself to actually get in the habit of budgeting.
  4. Hi, that's not why people go to Delaware for those kind of purchases. It's the lack of tax.

    The actual MSRP from PA wine and liquor stores is very competitive, since it's one of the largest single buyers of alcohol. Selection could be better though.

  5. I don't think this is an accurate comparison. Working on open source software means you are contributing to that software, which yes may be used by for profit companies. This is more analogous to contributing to Wikipedia, which is then used by for profit companies like Grok, than it is contributing to Grok products directly, which cannot be leveraged by other tools in this ecosystem (afaik).
  6. Small counterpoint but there are also 2 new players putting out SOTA open source models (Moonshots Kimi and zhipus GLM) so we're still seeing the same number of models overall, just via newer entrants.
  7. > GLM-4.6 is great value but still not solid enough for tool calls, not that fast, etc. so if you can afford something more reliable I'd go for that, but encouraging.

    Funny you should say that, because while it is a large model the GLM 4.5 is at the top of Berkley's Function Calling Leaderboard [0] and has one of the lowest costs. Can't comment on speed compared to those smaller models, but the Air version of 4.5 is similarly highly-ranked.

  8. I didn't really follow the premise of the original video. Can you find identical food at various locations throughout the country? Yes. Are you required to eat this same food? No!

    You could likely order the things that local restaurant/pub does make in house, rather than go for the variety of items on the menu that are simply there to appease customers' fancies.

    Or you could go to a proper restaurant that makes the majority of their dishes in house. You have this choice.

    If Sysco and these other companies didn't offer pre-made jalepeno poppers and the like, they simply wouldn't be on the menu in the first place.

  9. Where do you think pensions were storing the money?

    These are two sides of the same coin.

  10. yep. This feels like a feature to me, not a bug. As a mostly reader/follower on these platforms I'm surprised when others compare their engagement metrics, rather than the quality of the engagement on these platforms. Obviously their goals and incentives are different than mine, but the more time I spend on the internet the more I value the smaller communities due to the correlation with quality and topical focus.
  11. geeze we sure strayed far from "legalize comedy" pretty quickly. Here we are, discussing quips like they're a military operation.
  12. > Paraphrased, Kimmel said that the killer was a republican.

    He literally didn't though? Why does this mistake keep being made. Kimmel made 0 assertions about the shooter. He did make assertions about the President and his conduct, however.

  13. Best not to speculate on motivations at this time, IMO. It's the most likely scenario given his notoriety, but we don't know anything yet and that's a slippery slope.
  14. this is such a terribly bad-faith interpretation of the parent's comment to the point I'm assuming you replied to the wrong one?
  15. He sounds like the fictional 'Bob' and likely made out like a bandit, assuming he held.

  16. going to shout-out ClozeMaster here since I first found out about it on hacker news. Always hated duolingo - it's the gamification triggered to many alarm bells to me.

    Clozemaster is much more rudimentary but I do like how they use AI - there's a single button that gives you an AI grammatical summary of the translation and calls out any idioms or grammatical conventions in the target language compared to your native one.

    Bought the lifetime license but it's free to use, you just get a limited amount of flash cards a day. If you wait until christmas there's generally a big discount on the lifetime license.

  17. Would you describe this new, lower ranking as censorship?
  18. Because when someone punches you in the face, you punch back?

    Also I don't know why we keep referring to Russia as a major power, their GDP is about the size of Italy's, their economy is on the rocks, their military stockpile is depleted from a failed invasion of their much, much smaller neighbor.

  19. I think many people find cheaper launches for NASA very cool, but things like handing over restricted government data to Russia or throwing out vital medication in areas where its already been deployed vastly outweighs saving the federal government some bucks.
  20. The desired outcome isn't capturing hearts and minds, it's preventing easily preventable diseases and deaths for what amount to pennies in the federal budget.
  21. Whisk I think is possibly the best at it. No idea what it uses under the hood though.

  22. May want to check out the Wayfarer models on: https://huggingface.co/LatitudeGames

    afaik they are more for roleplaying a D&D style adventure than planning it, but I've heard good things.

  23. this is an announcement not a cut check. Who knows how much they'll actually spend, plenty of projects never get started let alone massive inter-company endeavors.
  24. I believe pixi, by the same group (astral) is the better comparison to conda.

  25. US government wasn't very supportive of the Arab Spring. Also, what FB does may at times may be in line with its government interests but that doesn't mean they are being compelled, just they are like-minded.

    There is some influence of course but it's not like their existence is at the blessing of the President.

  26. same company has a different tool as well called pixi which aims for much nicer integration with the conda ecosystem. Also uses uv under the hood so speed is comparable.

  27. seconding. Recently transitioned to fidelity's cash management account and have done a cash advance on the debit card at a local, non-affiliated bank with 0 fees involved.

    Checks the boxes for me, personally.

  28. "State of the Art", if that's what you were asking.
  29. strong man rhetoric is shockingly effective.
  30. cali 8000 model has them as well.
