<p>Thank you and sibling poster for the suggestions.<p>I used the settings recommended on huggingface/unsloth's model page + whatever suggestion from various LLMs - didn't research too much myself which setting did what.</p>

<p>In my experience with Qwen3.6 35B-A3B, disabling thinking made the model generate inaccurate replies. Ask it for the recipe of egg salad and it gives you the recipe of an omelette.<p>Did I miss something, is it possible to have that model be reliable without thinking?</p>

Which would have effectively overriden my whole bashrc config if I had blindly copy-pasted it.<p>A few minutes later, asking it to create a .gitignore file for the current project - right after generating a private key, it failed to include the private key file to the .gitignore.<p>I don't see yet how these tools can be labeled as 'major productivity boosters' if you loose basic security and privacy with them...</p>

<p>Congrats on launching.<p>It might be worth considering a feature to time/schedule each flow's animation, rather than having them run in an infinite loop, all at the same time.<p>UX feedback:<p>* The animation and the whole interface are sluggish on firefox/linux. There's about 1 sec delay after each action (like clicking on an option).
* The site's CSS does not load on an old version of Chrome - v90 - (and the chart and animation don't either).</p>

<p>Nice idea.<p>Bug: I tried in my area in the Canary Islands and all the places were off, sometimes in the middle of nowhere or even in the sea.<p>Also, in small villages, we don't necessarily have a town hall, a library, etc (within selected radius), but the game  asked to pin these.</p>

<p>Not OP, but in a similar boat. My 2 cents:<p>Well thought, sophisticated ways of modeling data for analytics purposes -using established approaches - are being replaced by just pulling data from the data sources - with barely any change in the source structure - into cloud data platforms.<p>In the past we used to model layers in a data-warehousing infrastructure each with a purpose and a data modelling methodology. For instance, an operational data store (ODS) layer, integrating data from all the sources, with a normalized data structure. Then a set of datamarts, each of them containing a subset of the ODS content, in a denormalized format, focused each on a specific functional domain.<p>We had rules, methods to structure data in order to get performant reporting, and a customer orientation.<p>Coming from this world, it seems like data governance principles are gone, and it feels like some organisations use the modern data stack same way as each analyst would be doing their own Excel files in their own corner, without any safeguards.</p>

<p>What do they need Google Analytics for? Is it a must-have or a nice to have? In my experience most small website owners have web analytics setup but barely ever check the reports.<p>Some alternatives:<p><pre><code>  * don't have web analytics at all
  * self-host a Plausible Analytics or other open source analytics solution
  * use the data from server-side access logs (for those using nginx, apache or other similar solutions)
  * use Vercel web analytics' free tier (relevant for kanadojo which appears to be hosted there) - more privacy friendly than Google Analytics.</code></pre></p>

<p>Some airlines (looking at you, Ryanair) really exploit the system. Cabin luggage can cost triple the price of the actual ticket, and that extra fee only pops up later on during the booking process.<p>What’s worse, you’re forced to buy a bundle with ‘Priority Boarding’ just to get cabin luggage - no option to buy it alone.<p>The ‘priority boarding’ option is a scam in itself: you pay extra just to stand around in a crowded corridor for about 30-40 minutes while the last passengers get off and the plane, then the cleaning crew takes the trash out of the plane. Ryanair planes don't seem to get cleaned anymore between two flights, no time for that.</p>
