Ive been 3D printing for over a decade, SLA printers are just not worth it IMO. There useful for certain applications, especially industry but for home hobbyist, FDM + 0.2mm nozzle would go further as a first 3D printer

Wow this price is interesting. I guess the Chinese competition is really driving prices down. I do miss the first generation (I think second was too) where they were "true" SLA but they got sued into oblivion by 3D Systems.

As mentioned by another commenter, I mean Home Assistant. Essentially the main orchestrator for all my smart home things but it doesn’t limit to just smart home. You can add calendar and location sharing to HA.

I’ve been using 2.6B as my main home assistant model and it’s been good. I switched to Ling 3.0 Tiny since it’s faster with A1B. Really hoping 1.7B is good enough (2.5 version was too dumb for HA) so I can run everything on one machine.

I tried using thinkingcap Qwen 27B for about two weeks. It definitely does dumber things than vanilla 27B but isn’t too far off. Swift 1.5 is noticeably dumber that I stopped using it after one day. Oddly, I switched back to regular 27B because the thinkingcap one is noticeably more censored. Anything explicit gets instantly shot down by thinkingcap while vanilla 27B will chug along.

There’s also been documented cases of owners using AI edited images to claim guests damage. Airbnb has a systemic cultural issue.

I figured LLMs nowadays would be good enough to catch issues like this. Is it because it’s too costly to do it?

If only we can buy Huawei Ascends!

Opencode but mainly because I"m used to it from work. I also use Pi and OMP

The cost vs performance is insane for all these new models. I’ve been using Deepseek Flash 1017 and it does whole projects and asks for $0.10 on US provider with ZDR on Openrouter. I convinced a few friends to drop their Claude $20 subscription because DS Flash 1017 brings so much better value. They can still use Opus 5.5 for planning though each call will cost north of $2. Excited to try this model out too once there are US providers.

Wow it references some “old” models in the evaluations. Very nostalgic to hear some of these.

Step models were IMO the first local model you can run on 128GB shared memory that worked well. Really excited to see how it compares to Qwen Flash Next.

Edit: bummer, didn’t know it’s 600B-A27B. No way to run that on 228GB.

I like this so much. Maybe I’m romanticizing but hoping tools like this give local news a chance against monopolies like Sinclair Broadcasting.
