The fact that this was proposed and voted on is ridiculous enough. In this day and age we need _some_ politicians with basic technical knowledge to help guide society in the right direction.

This just points out how incredibly incompetent everyone involved is about technical matters (I will refrain from making comments about their competency in other fields but I'm afraid that this is not a great sign).

It's showing exponential growth but mostly towards the value models (DeepSeek Flash, GLM 5.3 Flash, etc). Which might be an indication that these models are "good enough". At this intelligence level perhaps it's more about cost optimisations.

I cannot speak for everyone else but for us (20 people company) AI spending has definitely peaked and is trending downwards. We're consolidating providers and heavily experimenting with "good enough" models.

The issue was that Stack overflow never was enjoyable to use.

Asking questions was difficult and any difficulty questions I might ask would not get a response anyway.

Answering questions was a gamble, sometimes you would get rewarded, most of the time you would not.

> How does that protect anyone that's suicidal?

It doesn't, this kind of language policing is all about control and power.

A friend of mine worked as consultant with a big bank in London. They would get weekly emails about what kind of "newspeak" is allowed or not.

They seriously banned terms such as an "all hands meeting".

Woke 1 was absolutely crazy.

Given how good illegal alternatives like Stremio are this seems like a very dangerous game to play.

You can squeeze customers quite a bit but once they go back to pirating it's incredible hard to get them to subscribe again.

Would you have examples to share? I'm genuinely curious.

> Mechanically it was solid but I just… didn’t care.

This is a great summary of the entire issue with the game.

I really tried to like it but it didn't inspire any enthusiasm. I didn't really care for the plot, the stakes seemed so low compared to the previous title and none of the races/planets really scratched that explore itch.

Another day where the Pareto frontier is moved up and to the left!

I haven't tried this model yet but Deepseek and the GLM 5.3 series do feel like "enough" for a lot of tasks, it's pretty amazing to see that we're still getting better and cheaper models all the time.

I only wished they would focus more on wall clock time. For a hobby project I do not mind that a cheaper model takes twice as long but at work it's hard to justify using a "cheaper" model if the time per task is so much higher than the frontier models.

The amount of time that it took to complete a benchmark is almost never shown in these kind of releases.

In all fairness, only Xiaomi and Deepseek have a long enough cache time for this to matter. As far as I know, most providers use a 5m cache timeout so unless you're working exactly around midnight your cache is more likely to be nuked by a distraction.

For comparison, close to Opus 5. Far behind Sol 6.1 and Opus 5.5.

Probably a pretty decent model for 90% of the usecases!

I've been doing a lot of hobby work with GLM 5.3 Flash and I can count the amount of times that I need a stronger model on two hands.

I have access to unlimited tokens at works and Opus is great but also often overkill if you know exactly what you need.

If you're already using systemd it's barely any effort to add quadlets. Give them a try!

It's easy to break the cache and there's a number of very valid usecases (mostly context management such as compaction or tool shaking).

Not to mention that it can be very strategic to break context. E.g, after chasing a bug for a while it does make sense to summarise all the approaches that did not work so that you have more context available for newer approaches.

Getting 99% cache hit rates while providing a good user experience is the hard part!

Wait until you realize that deep down everything on a computer is text. We juist build "harnesses" to manipulate in-memory "text" in different ways.

One level deeper is all numbers though.

And eventually it's all 0 and 1s!

So it might be a supply side and not a demand side issue?
