I wonder what quantization opencode uses for DS models.

You do realize that adobes malicious methods made them like 10x the money they would make if they’d just sell single use licenses for photoshop?

Do you think greedy board members turn down 10x profits?

All data is valuable. Even something as simple as the MAC address to your iPhones WiFi or Bluetooth chip is worth something to dataprofilers.

Really? I’ve never heard a Corolla be considered a fun car. It’s a point a to b car afaik.

Not to hate on your experience! They surely are reliable though.

There’s “oh he’s at the grocery store” data,

and then there’s “he’s driving in a way we don’t like, let’s make him pay more for his insurance” data.

That’s not silly. Your rhetoric is.

“I don’t get it, why do people expect a promise to permanently delete your things to akshually do just that”

Such a goofball stance on the subject tbh.

That makes him a defacto leader, not legitimate by any democratic means. He is not chosen by the people, but by external governments such as the turkish dictatorship and the american oligarchic government.

Stability can be achieved without murdering and cleansing out Alawites, Kurds, christians and Druze. Only a barbaric mindset would think otherwise.

And somehow trying to whitewash them with "No terrorist attacks since 2015" shows me that you are clearly of different mindset than me. Have a good day!

Ahhh yes, he was just a little boy. And boys will be boys.

Even when they later go on to create terrorist organizations such as Jabhat al Nusra (Al Nusra Front). Boys will be boys.

Even when he got sent to Syria by Al Qaedas AQI (Which later became ISIS)

It baffles me that people like you justifies this man as a legitimate leader. Kurds and other minorities in Syria suffer immensely from this US and Turkish-forced government.

Why don't you tell the people of HN about the absolute massacre and manhunt of thousands of Alawites after Al-Julani came to power in Syria?

If I got a dollar for every person suckered into buying Samsung products…

But to stay on topic: never! connect your tv to the internet. My LG has been offline for around 5 years now after automatically installing unwanted apps. Since then, I run everything via an Apple TV 4K which works way better than LGs own software does anyway.

Small subset of prompts? You mean literally every Kreti and Pleti who lets Claude go through their entire codebase is considered ”small subset of prompts”?

Not the guy you responded to, but I would assume ”they keep it safe” somewhere in a cold storage. Just in case they decide to train on it in a later phase.

Think of it as the Big Data hype some years ago.

It’s an interesting concept, perhaps it could go more from ”narrated slide show” to ”video clip” in the near future if it doesn’t cost too much.

Are you using it in an agentic workflow? Just reading the codebase will consume a lot of cached tokens, but seemingly, z.ai counts these as normal input tokens the way they're rate limiting.

I just read it and honestly it left an even worse taste in my mouth.

>GLM-5.2 and GLM-5-Turbo are advanced models designed to rival Claude Opus model. Its usage will be deducted at 3 × during peak hours and 2 × during off-peak hours.

Claude certainly does not punish me for using their best models. Why should this "up and coming" company do it?

I thought the up and coming ai companies was supposed to have some kind of leverage in terms of price/performance (see deepseeks insanely cheap V4 flash and pro).

Try pointing it to a small codebase, or even ask it to conjure information found online.

You'll see that it quickly gives up. Thing is, they seem to count cached hits as if they were the non-cached tokens.

I wont be subscribing again thats for sure. I am not paying iPhone money for a Xiaomi.
