There are much easier ways to manipulate the stock market and enrich yourself when you have high office, starting a war after you've campaigned against wars isn't the logical step.

> all other European countries said it wouldn’t

This is false, France made a misstep and even fired the head of French military intelligence because of the failure to predict the invasion and Germany was also notably skeptical. Other countries like UK, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania were on board that the invasion was going to happen.

I'm aware of how fast an SSD is, but you're probably only accessing your home NAS from your phone or laptop which most likely won't have more than 1gbps, if that. If you're a power user you probably already have high speed networking inside your own home to max out a 10G link.

I doubt there's any FOMO to it from people using it for professional coding for example, you just want to have access to the best model as long as the value proposition is there. If I spend less time reviewing the work done because it's great in the first pass, that's always a win.

Unless you're an enthusiast and have the hardware to power larger models, $20 a month provides tremendous value.

How is 1G insufficient for running a NAS over the internet?

What a time to be alive to see people put "only" in front of "1gbps". We've come very far.

The open models are still far behind GPT 5.4 and Claude if you're using them for building software.

Is this the norm in US courts, evaluating a human's performance against LLMs?

> Sandra Scott, MD, CEO of the One Brooklyn Health, a small hospital facing tight margins, agreed with this line of thinking, according to Crain’s.

Does this CEO of a small hospital realize that their hospital will take the legal responsibility if there's no doctor to sue for malpractice?

You're missing a [citation needed] on that.

When you say "hinders innovation" do you mean "doesn't maximize shareholder value" ?

The range claims depend on the size of the battery pack. The Denza has a larger pack than what is quoted in the article. Also, the Chinese CLTC range ratings are overly optimistic with 1000km CLTC being ~820km WLTP or ~700km EPA.

> at some point why doesn’t the CTO / CEO / etc. say “I’m going to go have conversations with the workers to get their perspective?”

Why would you when all of the reports you're getting from your managers are 5/5 stars and "everything's great". Once an organization gets large enough, the information that reaches C-suite has been filtered through so many layers that it barely resembles reality anymore, even when you remove malice from the equation.

New comment by cbg0 in "GPT‑5.4 Mini and Nano"

cbg0 — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:58:32 +0000

Based on the SWE-Bench it seems like 5.4 mini high is ~= GPT 5.4 low in terms of accuracy and price but the latency for mini is considerably higher at 254 seconds vs 171 seconds for GPT5.4. Probably a good option to run at lower effort levels to keep costs down for simpler tasks. Long context performance is also not great.
