This reads like a hallucination. What does native speed even mean?

Why not? They probably only offered those deals because of DeepSeek aggressive pricing. Now that DeepSeek is 3x more expensive it's time to revert those discounts.

This is a much more interesting concept than Aptera. Small and affordable car, expandable solar array. Keep it simple.

After looking at the code in the tic tac toe example I am now 100% convinced that I need React.

Don't worry, they pinky promise not to save anything.

Why would I set 4.7 to xhigh or max when the original 4.6 was doing just fine with medium and high?

It's because investors in OpenAI/Anthropic want to get their money back in 10 months, not in 10 years.

Token bonanza! Inference sellers love this simple trick.

New comment by Flavius in "In Denmark, the spread of solar panels has become a divisive issue"

Flavius — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:49:09 +0000

We currently use vast amounts of land growing corn and other crops specifically for biodiesel. Solar panels produce over 100x more energy per hectare than corn ethanol, even in countries like Denmark with limited sunlight. It makes perfect sense to repurpose some biofuel farmland for solar panels. That's just efficient land use, not an attack on agriculture.

I can't downvote you enough for this comment, but hopefully others will. You're arguing that a device designed for portability is perfect as it is because you're supposed to use external monitors and proper keyboards. This is peak HN/Reddit/"current society", whatever you want to call it.

Hey Claude, rename all these jobs to include AI so that WSJ can write an article about AI creating new jobs.

Flavius — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 19:19:36 +0000

By asking it to cite its sources. Whenever I use AI, I have it pull direct quotes from the text to justify its interpretation. Sometimes it's spot on, sometimes it's wrong. But skimming a paper to fact-check a few specific quotes is still vastly faster than reading a dense paper completely blind.

> This means llms have not improved in their programming abilities for over a year. Isn’t that wild? Why is nobody talking about this?

Because it's not true. They have improved tremendously in the last year, but it looks like they've hit a wall in the last 3 months. Still seeing some improvements but mostly in skills and token use optimization.

New comment by Flavius in "AI doesn't replace white collar work"

Flavius — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 20:25:37 +0000

AI won’t replace all white collar work. Just like the tractor didn't replace all farmers, only about 98% of them. The real question is: what's next? When farming automated, those workers eventually filled our factories and offices. When the offices automate, where do they go? Back to farming?
