Every force has an equal and opposite force. The more you push, the more push-back you will get.

Job and slavery are two very different things. I love free markets too but not to the level of autism (for lack of better word) and ignoring how things actually work in the physical world. Shallow economic theory doesn't create happy and functional families. Economic theory that is mostly rigged to serve the rich, entrenched, and powerful anyways.

Is there alternative syntax? I don't want to be typing "end" everywhere. Stack based, declarative, sexp, indentation, anything?

And you're claiming Anthropic and OpenAI are not doing the same thing?

For the price of can of Coke, you can do a week of work. For most, that is not a bottleneck.

DSV4 Flash is in a tier of its own, until at least the price change arrives.

DSV4 Flash 0731 already runs on RTX 4090 24GB + 128GB system RAM at a usable tok/s and quantization.

IoT works just fine with Zigbee that can be 100% local.

Didn't know this existed. Have to say that's some great looking art.

Similar market correction happened in 2008 and the the US has definitely not gone more free-market-let-the-bad-businesses-fail direction since then. Rich a-holes always find ways to build systemic risk where they can reap the rewards and socialize the losses.

OpenAI and Anthropic valuation crashing would crash the entire AI story, which would crash the market.

AI labs have been doing "distillation attacks" against actual creators like artists and engineers since the beginning.

DeepSeek V4 Pro is only ~3-4x as expensive as Flash. It won't replace GPT-5.5 (nowhere near) but I've been using the $20 sub to punch through tough cases and use Pro for rest.

The fact that so many European green parties have been so strongly anti-nuclear was always a bit of a head-scratcher for me. It seems so dumb on so many different fronts. Goes to show the power of uninformed public, wildly misleading or actively lying stereotypes and scaremongering.

I get 150t/s peak, 120t/s avg with Qwen3.6 27B Q4 with a 4090 on Linux. Now that MTP has landed into llama.cpp.

Well if you discount the people China has killed and is killing within its borders, the number is definitely smaller. As well as another land empire called Russia.

You should read about the difference between a land empire and a sea empire.

Strange. I'm switching from Codex and Claude to Pi with Qwen3.6 27B local and Deepseek V4 Flash which is dirt cheap but powerful.

It's not democracy when it's not the votes that determine what government does, but money.

No, it doesn't miss the point. Different people have different interests. Knitting just hits more overlapping Venn diagrams than just one.
