Just tell me when I can download games and where to get them.

I wonder if this misses the point that sometimes people want to quickly glance across an article to find the answer to their issues. Having to explain my problem and converse with a chatbot can be a lot more effort.

Can you imagine being behind this thing and the air blowing rocks and shit all over your car?

This is great. The business these companies are in is actually quite simple, and managing the expense of running the hardware is an enormous lever for them when it comes to profitability. They have many developers whose sole focus is on this optimization problem.

7 months here so the post was an interesting read. I feel like I'm still learning how to function being sober, like what the upcoming holiday season will feel like being sober. I also find myself thinking maybe I can responsibly enjoy alcohol at some point, although deep down I know that isn't true.

What resonated most about the blog post was loss of things I used to do with alcohol. I'm still just avoiding those activities, but I'd love to get to a point where I'm comfortable sitting in a bar without the need for alcohol. In a way, it feels like I'm having to learn how to exist in this alcohol free world.

Can Hister handle indexing of large local file shares? I've got 30-50TB of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files with no easy way to search them currently, beyond Agent Ransack.

Does Hister handle this well? If not, can anyone suggest other options?

I don't think folks read the source link. Most responses are a plug for Fastmail.

I echo folks sentiment here. Sadly OAI Sol couldn't make a powerpoint to save its life. Opus 5 and Fable do a really good job of. I just have to review the language, but that's relatively easy.

Possibly something to do with other providers using the it to train their own models?

I see others mentioning the severance package being decent for a US company. I'm glad they received something, but I'm sorry, can we stop calling this decent? It's markedly lopsided when a company can one day decide to lay off a large portion of their workforce and think 4 months is anywhere near acceptable. The average time to find a new job is significantly longer, especially depending on role and seniority.

I'm tired of seeing American workers bear the brunt of the stupidity of the executive teams that have done their job so poorly as to suddenly need to lay off workers. If you are a leader and you are put in this situation, it is because you are a terrible at your job. It's not the market, it's not AI or some unforeseen disaster...it's because you had your head up your ass instead of actively running the business.

Has anyone tried this for things like Excel models and PowerPoints? And any reactions to how it compares to Claude?

I’ve seen lots of flashy examples, but a lot of knowledge work is not this, and more synthesis of sources and information in to structured content.

Re: common people, yes, and given all the talk of job instability AI is creating, why hasn’t Anthropic or OpenAI offered discounted plans for laid off or displaced workers? Wouldn’t this be a tangible way to display goodwill and build adoption?

Where does the harness come in to play? I'd love to use GLM 5.2 for general chat, but I don't know of any harness that offers an experience close to ChatGPT or Claude (e.g., history, skills, projects) without requiring a PhD to set it up.

I love your idea and wondered why saving and indexing browser visited pages was not being done. Does this handle large amounts of local files, for example 10-20TB across file types like Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and PDF?

How did the voting work? The first thing I thought was, what happens in a tie (2-2) vote?
