Better, take a look around. No random mobile focused redesigns to hit a random KPI.

Text only design also invites to focus on the discussion itself. It also has proper moderation.

I created this sheet to get proper model accuracy using the the lenz data, check it out.

Note: It may still not be perfectly accurate representation of truth as it uses user submitted data. I also used AI to build the sheet.

> It's almost guaranteed with agents you could do the same job with less than half of 100k lines.

That's great, non-test code is only ~47k lines of code.

That's so interesting. Kind of explains company directions - quality vs quantity.

>For things requiring Play Integrity, I picked up a $20 burner carrier-locked Motorola phone at Walmart for $30.`

So it's a $30 burner phone, not $20?

What? Training is not inference. Reading books is not the same as writing.

Does it matter what size the cup is? Usually you get the same amount of coffee water + additional water/milk/whatever.

I've been burned on openrouter getting routed through terrible quants with equally terrible quality. While paying maybe 15% less.

Nearly a year ago it was impossible to avoid it due to silly openrouter routing algorithm and the api. You had to set multiple things just right to make it work.

Similar to their other api quirks. You want valid json format response? sure, set response_format to "json" just like our documentation suggests. Oh, it only works some of the time? How silly, why would you expect it to work all of the time? If you want it to work more often, set require_params to true. We may still use other providers that don't offer it, but you want that, right? You don't? Well, then set our "very_require_params" to "very_true". And then switch a few toggles in the frontend. Oh and also add these 7 lines just so your other config options don't break. Oh wait they will break, how silly of us Is there any way to make it work as advertised? Of course no!

Sorry for the semi-offtopic rant. I still use them every day though, but not for open models anymore.

More fair comparison would be writing/talking about Russian language in English. That way you'd still focus on Russian. Same way with programming - it's not like you stop seeing any code. So why should you forget it?
