Never seen that one before:

"Insufficient Storage

The method could not be performed on the resource because the server is unable to store the representation needed to successfully complete the request. There is insufficient free space left in your storage allocation.

Additionally, a 507 Insufficient Storage error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

This has already been possible before, with price comparison portals like idealo.de and geizhals.de (in Germany)

It's possible that AI agentic shopping brings this technology to those who haven't used it before. But I think it's also possible that AI agentic shopping becomes an extension of their users' shopping habits

Artificial Analysis is usually a good resource to find current frontier AI models.

On https://artificialanalysis.ai/text-to-speech/models, you can plot speech preference ELO and pronunciation correctness against price.

Gemini 3.8 Flash / Flash-Lite TTS seem good, for example, they lie on the frontier of both.

Especially because the last step is less "make it" and more like "npm add it".

The browser has "ready-made components". React (et al) also has "ready-made components". React's selection is a thousand times larger. React also allows you to make your own. The browser doesn't [1].

Who can blame developers for skipping the inconvenient half-solution and going straight to the all-encompassing ecosystem

[1]: It does, but web components are too unwieldy to compete with React

This article misses the most crucial point.

Developers don't "use the platform" because all the building blocks for any component you can think of are already there. When "the platform" adds yet another set of not particularly pretty and badly configurable components, why would we use them? When there's tons of mature, deeply thought out, battle tested, cleanly abstracted components out there - especially when _those_ components are made of divs and layouting and CSS and are therefore malleable to the pixel instead of being made of magic browser pixie dust?

How does it compare against the Pi harness, which I thought was the unofficial harness champion so far, in your workloads?

Where can you watch it happen? Is there a video visualizing the diffusion process on text?

I assume because promising trustworthiness by sourcing information from the web is specifically Perplexity's shtick. The fact that this study undermines the quality of random web sources hits Perplexity's value proposition the most.

Is this sarcasm?

Thinking mode is exactly this. The LLM is allowed to dump thoughts, correcting itself along the way, and only surfaces the cleaned-up final answer to the user

From what I've heard, Ollama has a bad reputation because it's a thin wrapper around llama.cpp without attributing it properly, thereby stealing recognition from the maintainers doing most of the work

$500 would amount to just 10k requests. One million requests is $50k

0.05 cents even. The beautiful thing is, minuscule amounts of micropayments are already enough to fix the incentives

Every git repository hosting platform - GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg - necessarily gives end users control over filenames.

"User-controlled strings as parameters" is not "access to your git" but it is still an attack vector.
