You have to retrieve it through the Vibe interface (I used the CLI) and then you can use it with any harness.

I agree. I’m a customer out of principle (EU) but they make it hard to find out where to get a subscription and what that gets you. But their 18 eur per month offering is actually good with 255 eur worth of tokens included. Take care though: you need to create a specific kind of API key to avoid being charged for per token use besides your subscription.

This is on par with European stereotypes about French engineering so I’ll just go along with it :)

I’m a casual user out of principle and it’s fine. Nothing extraordinary but capable of assisting coding sessions. It won’t one shot a cancer medicine but it handles my Rust projects well. Mind you I don’t like the style of LLM use where people just brute force their way to a working state from a very high level prompt. I mostly ask it to implement tickets/issues I write beforehand.

Hah I knew that was you from the first mention of DS and game remixing :) Love your contributions on LI.

Great to see support for the M-chips catching up. The chips are obviously very powerful and efficient and I find the latest MacOS releases to kind of drag them down.

With the build quality these machines have I can see Linux support extending their usable lifetimes well past 10 years. By which time we’re back to a mainframe-terminal model anyway since all compute is AI and it is all done in the cloud. (?)

It can still be true though, because entry is nothing without sales and a continued search for product market fit. I don’t know about 1% but if you say ‘for every 100 apps launched in 2015-2020 only 1 turned into a sustainable business’ I’d say that’s in the ballpark.

If code becomes cheaper that may change the business fundamentals but it also means capturing customers becomes way harder.

Openrouter stats seem to indicate that there is a lot of demand for ‘good enough at a good price.’ After all, not everyone is decompiling PS5 games. In fact, most people are just speedrunning notetaking apps in JavaScript frameworks.

I was a little cranky when I replied. What I meant was that this flood of LLM-noise already started around GPT-4.5 for many people. I was surprised to read about this now. But it’s good to have a discussion about it at large, anyway.

I wholeheartedly agree but how can someone only come to this conclusion after years? It is so obvious that writing and reading were for centuries bound in a social contract between reader and writer. Post-modernism if anything reinforced that notion by rebelling against it.

I assure you anyone in the business of administrating stuff through paperwork (government contracting!) is well aware of the complete obliteration of the basic assumption that ‘someone wrote this so it is at least worth a cursory glance’.

For all its other problems this is my main issue with LLM’s. Writing let people communicate across vast distance and time. Given no metadata, today one must initially assume all writing to be noise.

Ideally you use so many different compute providers that your footprint isn’t as complete for any of them. If you commit to a single party they have total information which is more dangerous. If you’re into that sort of thing. Obviously just don’t put anything in a http request you don’t want anyone else to know…

Like others in this thread I’ve questioned why Kagi is developing a browser. My only guess is they at one point thought there would be some opportunities in integrating AI stuff and a browser. Because their CEO has said in the past that they are convinced of LLM usefulness but in a specific way.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see some agentic features in their browser at some point. Their assistant tool is already quite good - it has replaced search for me in a number of scenarios.

So walking back some of the Liquid Glass insanity and better search. Okay, glad I skipped Tahoe.

The kill switch is M365 account management. You take that offline, many SME’s and local governments just stop working. At least for a while.

Still baffles me that Outlook won’t let me tie together emails, calendar items and documents. It makes so much sense to combine these things. All my meetings are about documents and their related correspondence but you never have a coherent information space for them.
