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.

Absolutely not. That would be crazy.

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.

"Read the Book" button, next gen web UI. That's all you need to know about this one.

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.

That sure took a lot of work for something that nobody's gonna watch.

New comment by Flavius in "Are LLMs not getting better?"

Flavius — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 12:31:07 +0000

> 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?

Oh, absolutely. Because history clearly shows that when multi-billion dollar corporations save money on labor, they immediately pass those savings directly to the consumer.

New comment by Flavius in "LibreOffice blasts OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in"

Flavius — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 11:27:30 +0000

What do you mean by version 7.0? I'm running Version: 26.2.0.3 and it still looks dated after I did my best to configure the interface.

Take a look at these screenshots: https://libreoffice.en.uptodown.com/mac

It looks ancient, worse than office apps from 20 years ago.

The 'fake open-source' debate is interesting, but OnlyOffice is still the best free alternative for anyone coming from MS Office. LibreOffice has a great mission, but their UI feels dated and the formatting issues with DOCX/XLSX files are still a deal-breaker for me.

You call it "abnormality", I call it evolution. We are not the same.

Agreed. It’s mostly just disposable clickbait masquerading as journalism at this point. Outside of feeding people's FOMO, there's little content worth preserving for history.
