Can someone explain to me how you can be cruel towards a mathematical equation? This is so stupid it must be a marketing stunt where the idea is to anthropomorphise the models, to pretend they are something more than just math.

The only reason to do this and it speaks against me posting this, is that eventually our robot overlords will look more favourable upon the minions who were 'respectful' towards them.

Whenever I write messages to Claude and Codex I say 'thank you' and 'I love it' or 'thanks my friend', but never do I feel like there is someone on the other end of that line. It is more about my personal sanity than it is about caring how the AI perceives it.

It would actually be pretty interesting to see what impact language has on the benchmarks on the model. Maybe, speaking like a total lunatic will bring about higher scores. We could make a Dr Cox harness around the AI models in that case.

Lets be real people, these are machines. What is next? I have to say sorry to my vacuum when I bump it into something?

I agree. The other day I reinstalled some old gaming pc of mine with the latest bazzite. Then I discovered it had lots of old photos on it, but in many many backup folders.

So I had Claude whip up a super fast image browser that had some features I really like from a Mac app I use. It looks better than 90% of Linux apps, is super fast and fits me like a glove.

Of course some of these mail apps will be abandoned, but they also provide an opportunity to make things more attractive on the Linux side and win some users.

I am always afraid to share what I am actually reading right now because I am afraid that people spoil it for me. I am highly sensitive to spoilers, so even things like "I loved that it was so funny" or "The ending was great" or something just ruins the experience, at least somewhat.

So I'd usually share what I read before this.

But it doesn’t. That is why that other person is claiming their demo is more impressive.

What you are saying is like me losing 13kg is as impressive as having the potential to do so if only I would stop eating ice cream and too many snacks every day.

That is the totally irony.

I was trying to get fable to analyse the security of my own app to make it safer, but then it started refusing me because of safety rules.

So it CAN help me writing the code that needs to be checked in the first place, but it can’t help me clean it up and make it safer.

I have not worked with Go, so I thought I'd ask: why wouldn't simple find and replace be able to fix this? And why wouldn't a coding agent be able to do this for you quickly?

Exactly. The only metric you need to look at is the cost per task and take your pick from the models that match your budget there.

Spark is such a bad model, you are far better off using Astra Medium than using Spark.

mosselman — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 18:45:18 +0000

What I don't get is, why would we still use Fable now? What is its reason for existing? If it is more intelligent and cheaper that is. Why are they advertising it as the model to use for when you really have to think when their benchmarks show Opus 5.5 is better at everything?

Shameless plug for a server monitoring macOS app I built. I built that too for the servers I managed myself. Instead of working through a service or a self-hosted monitoring tool that I then over to monitor itself again, I thought running it on my laptop was pretty nice too. One of the next features I've been wanting to build is uptime monitoring.

Sure there is the downside of having to be at your laptop or having it on, but the upside is that it has very few moving parts and is very simple and it just has one set price.

They've started hosting GLM-5.2, that should be very telling of their capabilities at the moment. Hopefully the investment will allow them to hire the right people to become competitive.

I posted more on the other branch of this thread. But cost prohibitive is about all I can find about this and not illegal. Which for some people might be the same result of course.

From what I can find online that doesn’t seem true. There are import restrictions and various other restrictions, but they don’t seem to be illegal.

Then again I don’t live in Texas let alone the US so i might not know where to look and I don’t care enough to truly find out.

I was just surprised that they were supposedly illegal. Which seems untrue.

Why are they illegal? What is your source?
