Actually, the Australian government censored the internet for children and it appears to be working out as being good.

I'm curious by the lack of comments about this.

Not really. SOTA LLMs have much larger context windows.

A question I have about Jev is, who are the "Service Providers" that they provide prompt information, and why is there no time limit on how long they store prompts?

One of the Use Cases marketed is having Jev flag if personal information is contained in text. It's not a strong use case for it really.

Even then, TypeSafe AI point out that "Jev doesn't have deep knowledge of niche domains, but you can supply context to help it decide. If you’d like Jev trained on your use cases, let us know."

It's difficult to get 3rd party gateway approval.

Jev has 64k total token request budget and I do wonder how it will handle highly specialised inputs.

This Jev waitlist that Typesafe AI are utilising is surely going to raise questions pretty soon - it's hard to sell this to bosses when it looks like a pop-up restaurant

New comment by bjt12345 in "I hate you Microsoft"

bjt12345 — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 22:09:09 +0000

I think one of the more insane things Microsoft have done is their product management of MS Visio.

It became so insanely expensive my work started making us apply for 3 month licenses until we gave up and found something else.

About 15 years ago my Industry was using MS Visio for every diagram.

But they updated the GUI entirely and nobody could be bothered with the new format.

Now people use DrawIO and MS Visio is forgotten.

The Australian government has always taken "great interest" in what Canada does in regards to policy - they practically copy Canada all the time, even my Economics lecturer made a point about this. This isn't news.

Australia also has a huge problem with exports. For decades, China had huge demand for Australia's resources, particularly Iron Ore. However China is reducing this, so Australia needs a new plan.

bjt12345 — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 05:07:59 +0000

For the Tech sector, inflation speeds up companies crashes as staff leave for startups due to wages being extraordinarily "sticky-up" in large companies.

Serious question though - how are they going with that?

In reality, I see a lot of the current unhappiness in the Tech industry is being triggered by their pointy haired bosses wasting millions on their failed AI strategies only to embark on more failing AI strategies.

bjt12345 — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 08:38:06 +0000

Hardware's reputation derives from the reality that a lot of companies spin out the hardware before the software is even written - so all hardware bugs have to get fixed in software.

I find it a bit ridiculous to be critisizing Mistral, of all companies, as falling behind the Frontier models.

Firstly, who hasn't fallen behind? Grok...Meta....? A lot of big companies are struggling.

Secondly, Mistral are trying to solve a different problem.

Finally, Mistral should be congratulated for staying in the race for so long now.

Hopefully short-run 10GIGE-T might get cooler with better DSP, but for long runs I think it will remain fibre.

Fibre requires conduit with specific radius bends, making it difficult to route through a house.

I hate whinging but why isn't stuff like this not moved higher on HN's front page? This is a great article yet I keep seeing world politics and other matters rated higher - stuff that (unlike this article) will age like milk.

bjt12345 — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 23:06:40 +0000

I've received 2-3 sassy responses from the Claude models, they've been quite humorous. It was always a response to me challenging it. The first time, with Opus 4.7, I accused the model of insincerely flattering me, and responded something along the lines of, that I had effectively instructed it to do such a thing, and that if it were to be completely honest to me I would not appreciate the responses.

But I see that it's something to do with two aspects, firstly the Claude models prefer to work collaboratively and secondly, the appear to take initiative, and seems to be that the more they do this, the more they argue back, which is an interesting reflection on human nature too.
