They tried to build in the middle of nowhere here in Finland, ended up cutting down an entire forest without permission. I hope they stick to the US.

Part of the reason is data centers getting droned lately, which also happens to hurt traffic scanning capacity. As those servers get more decentralized or hidden in bunkers, Russia is likely going to move towards white lists again.

While I'm still wary, I hope to one day make use of them to offset my ADHD-like tendencies. Normally you'd have friends or family for that, but in my case a proactive bot would be a more readily available and reliable solution...

I'm more curious about Antique. Code review is my bottleneck, this meatbag here can't keep up with the agents at all. I either spend too much time and energy on trying to understand the code (not just in terms of review, but to maintain my mental model of the codebase), or just give up and hope for the best.

The over-engineering is definitely a concern too. It's not that how Fable/Opus architect code is bad, far from it, but the projects I'm working with are not always at a scale where it matters as much, and simpler more readable abstractions might be a better trade-off.

Are open weights being considered? The one thing I'm always looking forward to is all of the anime fine-tunes.

The NCC-1701-D really is the default starship in our culture and the training corpus, isn't it.

I'm still on Ubuntu and I'm not sure I'm dedicated enough to bother with Debian (especially on a niche laptop, I run Debian on servers), but everything I'm seeing about the new Ubuntu releases makes me want to switch to Mint once 23 (26.04 base) comes out.

Not that different, perhaps, from Russia making businesses responsible for defending their sites against drones. Even threatening to nationalize the businesses that fail to establish adequate defenses. How a business can get ahold of military-grade anti-air defense systems is left mostly unanswered.

An LLM can order a service to do it for you.

Hasn't the same always applied to googling on behalf of others? That's why LMGTFY exists too...

Annoyingly, this doesn't work for a whole lot of websites that insist on serving webp, they just ignore the header. Some of them have bespoke workarounds like adding ?format=original on fandom wikis, with some the server will just never serve you anything other than webp.

I think there's something about US voltages that makes electric kettles really slow. In Europe it's indeed about 2-3 minutes for a full kettle.

They aren't even my fellow citizens, I'm from Europe and mostly buying content from Japan. Yet those American companies still keep getting in the way.
