They should have changed the name as per branding. I hear Siri, I subconsciously associate it with really bad software.

You are free to use AI to write Zig code just not use AI to write code for Zig. In fact, many people already do build software with zig written by AI. Check out rockorager's github.

Schools like MIT pay PhD students barely above or sometimes below the poverty level of that particular state as monthly stipend. Yeah, research funding got slashed but if they had the will they could have come up with the money for that 20%.

OpenAI is very good in terms of not having as much outages as Anthropic, but almost all products except Codex and the pro model is unimpressive, anthropic has the opposite situation.

The BBC has increasingly been anti-semitic. First, the baseless allegations of starving and murdering children in Gaza and now this. Troubling times.

check out cs 336 stanford, they cover DPO/GRPO and relevant parts needed to train LLMs.

There's no way I am using such an important piece of life as an IDE from Google just because I know they are going to kill it within 3 years, if it survives that much. Probably will die with the Windsurf guy jumping ship again.

How would you onboard a software engineer who doesn't know zig if you were to do so? Learning tips?

Still use pinboard which seems more than enough for me. But I would happily pay for a pinboard that has better search and more responsive customer service.

I still haven't got access to GPT-5 (plus user in US), and I am not really super looking forward to it given I would lose access to o3. o3 is a great reasoning and planning model (better than Claude Opus in planning IMO and cheaper) that I use in the UI as well as through API. I don't think OpenAI should force users to an advanced model if there is not a noticeable difference in capability. But I guess it saves them money? Someone posted on X how giving access to only GPT-5 and GPT-5 thinking reduces a plus user's overall weekly request rate.

It works fine I would say. In the absence of a bigger screen with proportional DPI (kindle scribe is 300 which is one of the highest in terms of screen size), kindle scribe is one of the better options still IMO.

Isn't remarkable pro the same size as Kindle scribe? Their website says 10.8 x 7.8 inches.

I wish they would do a bigger size kindle scribe. I read pdfs all day on my scribe, and often I wish the screen was bigger so the font size would be large.
