I've used a lot of local models and all of them felt like toys. This one actually felt useful. I hear Qwen 36-A3B is also good, yet to try that one.

i like groq but models seem to have stagnated - looks like the company isn't focused on b2c anymore?

Agents are shipping code faster all over the world and in some cases 24 hours a day. Additionally, some significant number of non-developers are now developers i.e. they are also shipping to github regularly.

This is not limited to just pushing code but all the bells and whistles that github added as features under the assumption of some predictable growth are now exceeding the original plans.

I suspect a lot of their existing systems have to be re-architected for unanticipated scale, and it won't happen overnight for sure.

i empathize with the folks running a largely free service who are being spammed by bots and built everything around some other assumptions

New comment by fareesh in "Microsoft hasn't had a coherent GUI strategy since Petzold"

The root of the problems seems to be trying to find a holy grail design that works across all their businesses. Surface tablet mode, touchscreen laptop, touchscreen desktop (surface studio), mouse and keyboard PC, stylus input, etc.

Then there's a lot of legacy stuff that needs to continue working because otherwise you end up with a non backwards compatible windows.

Then you have to get everyone at microsoft across all their bajillion products to change the UI from Task manager to the 5th level of settings for some obscure ODBC connector.

It's not going to happen I suspect

doesn't it use up a lot of disk space compared to other distros because of the way everything is set up?

It ends up being a LARP

In reality the starting point itself is something absurd like "all vendors must be ISO certified no exceptions"

Nobody wants to be the person who says an exception is ok in this case, so you get lumped with having to certify.

Now your color palette generator startup is doing ISO certification. You are holding quarterly "information security governance meetings" and maintaining a risk register for... "blue vs slightly different blue".

Many such cases.

Data protection is a tiny component of what certifications like ISO and SOC2 involve. The data protection stuff is welcome and often pre-existing, the other stuff is what annoys people.

The D in Democratic People's Republic of Korea means it should be democratic so why is it a dictatorship?

The world doesn't work based on abbreviations. It's very normal for any company to ask you for ISO 27001 whether international or otherwise.
