I believe webpages that use the API must request from the user via a system permissions dialogue to aces the prompt API, according the docs a few months ago.

What version of Kimi was that using? Do you have any specific insight on Kimi vs GLM in real world scenarios?

I'm very curious what Zig vs Rust code looks like for the same project! What are your thoughts so far?

I get great results when operating at just a 'file' level. It's not so great at editing across many files.

Note that this is just a code of conduct change for the ethics committee, not a law. Something is better than nothing.

Wow, Qwen3.5-35B is absolutely punching above its weight. Perhaps it's the best/cheapest model for just JSON operations?

Deepseek v4, Qwen 3.6 Plus/Max, GLM 5+ are all pretty solid for most work.

It is pretty neat, but I'm concerned by just how long and complex the actual install.md instructions are. I would have preferred a real installer to this complex web of instructions + AI trying to interpret the instructions to install. I think I would be more accepting if the install.md script was maybe less than half its current size/complexity.

I'd love this. I really don't want my car to be an iPhone with "apps" and random background software on it. The car touchscreen was perhaps the worst design choice in the history of the automobile, and is likely the cause of countless crashes. It's insane when I see car UIs that have the 'cancel / go back' button located in DIFFERENT areas depending on the screen context.

I find A3B-35B as an ideal model for small local projects- definitely the best for me so far

This is one of my all time favorites and it fits into the line of recent thought that the universe may be primarily conscious rather than "dead matter and dying energy".

I've been thinking the same thing lately. It's sorta frustrating that it required bots to force tech companies to make clean simple cli driven development workflows.

This has been my feeling on Dune book 4 - God Emperor of Dune. While it contains several great banger quotes, it leans way more conservative than the previous books to the point that it was difficult to finish. "Oh no, female warriors kissing! ICK!!" and Leto's whole "Humanity _NEEDS_ me as GOD EMPEROR because this IS JUST THE ONLY WAYYY!" are just some examples.
