>Going forward, we will test defaulting Teams and Enterprise users to high effort, to benefit from extended thinking even if it comes at the cost of additional tokens & latency.

interesting that you only make this default on those accounts that pay per token while claiming "medium is best for most users"

That decision seems to imply that the thinking change was more about increasing your profits than anything else

Company internal status pages are always like this. When you don't report problems they don't exist!

New comment by mikkom in "Helsinki records zero traffic deaths for full year"

mikkom — Sat, 02 Aug 2025 20:34:35 +0000

I live in helsinki and nowhere it is 20 kmh that I know of. Might be some random streets in center. And 30km/h streets are smaller living streets that driving that speed comes almost automatically.

Major ringways and main roads are 80 kmh btw

I have driven in many many countries - Helsinki does not feel slower than any place I have driven, faster in fact because there rarely are traffic jams

New comment by mikkom in "EU to ban carry-on baggage fees"

mikkom — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 12:49:00 +0000

I had something like 9 pairs of t-shirts, underwear and socks, 1 or 2 (don't remember) extra long sleeved cotton shirt and 1 extra pair of jeans plus shampoos, moisturizer, toothbrush and paste, shaving stuff, 10 inch tablet, chargers, headphones, passport etc. Yes they fit quite nicely believe or not. This was scotland about a month ago.

My folding method was: get some cheap packing cubes, one large with shirts (just flat), one smaller with underwear and socks (just put there) and one with toiletries, nothing special at all. You can stuff lot more than you think into 40 liters. Jeans and sometimes jacket I just stuffed there.

btw I was able to sneak that backpack to ryanair flight even :-D

Not sure what your definition of a backpack is but I was just traveling for over a week with this one and it was no problem to fit over a weeks worth of clothes, toiletries etc there

New comment by mikkom in "Generate audiobooks from E-books with Kokoro-82M"

mikkom — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 12:48:54 +0000

What I really want and hope that someone does is to make an audiobook service that converts books to audiobooks but so that each character has own voice.

Som audiobooks have this and I think it really makes the experience much more engaging.

(Also maybe some background sound effects but not sure about that, some books also have this and it's quite nice too)

What an awful title and premise. Senior leaders who can't take feedback without firing you should be fired immediately.

This is based on work done by this anonymous twitter account:

https://x.com/_xjdr

I have been following this quite closely, it has been very interesting as it seems smaller models can be more efficient with this sampler. Worth going through the posts if someone is interested in this. I kind of have a feeling that this kind of sampling is a big deal.
