Its not the right long term solution tho, tiny roof tiles as solar panels have so many problems:

- Magnitude higher number of interconnections which impacts reliability and efficiency

- Uniform roof tile style

- Requires entire roof rebuild which is always more expensive than retrofit of panels on top

- Complex installation resulting in less installers available overall for the market

- Crossing of trades between roofing & electrical

A slightly better solution would have been to make the big traditional solar panels your actual roof panels but really retrofitting them on top of panels solves most of those issues above.

Interestingly if you look at the cost of Gemma3 (this is 12 months old, but demonstrates the authors point) on Vertex AI versus Gemini 2.5 pro, the cost per million tokens WAS very similar.

Just imagine what they do with your data even tho they wont "train on it".... This feels like a "100% beef" moment in history.

Is there a guide you can link for opencode usage like this? I just use codex and find its generally really good. What you are describing sounds like a bit of an unlock.

Surely its just the same model, just allowed to do more work...??

Codex is just as bad with this, i've received two ToS warnings for security research activities so far. I have also tried to appeal with zero response.

Except this isnt using heavily quantised versions of the model thus reducing quality.

Yup exactly, if this is the truth then put it on the terms/privacy policy etc... exec's say anything these days with zero consequences for lieing in a public forum.

Someone needs to make an actual good benchmark for LLM's that matches real world expectations, theres more to benchmarks than accuracy against a dataset.

I really think the key to addressing climate change should have started 20 years ago in a lot of primary schools, whereby the curriculum includes subjects that are more tailored to solving problems with capturing or converting C02 (eg sciences) so that these students are thinking about these problems when graduating and starting businesses to solve the challenges (hopefully with gov incentives at same time).

The non dev vibe coders are probably a bigger group of users, and therefore equal more money. Change justified...

Is this a privacy nightmare because it exposes graphs of people together publicly?

Could this lead into how there are people who thing non ionising radiation sources affect them?

I wonder if another waymo ahead could have seen that child earlier and told the main waymo. This would be pretty neat and have a large safety impact.

I postulate 90% of the reason openai now has "variants" for different use cases is just to capture training data...

Its funny, i think of tools like v0.dev, bolt etc as low code tools too. The definition in my mind is, does the person building the website understand or are they exposed to the underlying tech.

I still think nVidia has the most to loose in the AI race, optimisations like this will continue coupled with better ASIC's.

its insane to me that apple could feature "liquid glass"... the amount of devs that must of worked on this is probably not insignificant and could have been used on better things...

Didnt vista try and do a similar thing when it came out, lots of "widgets" and transparency crap that felt cool then tacky after 2 minutes...
