It would be nice to have the README be a little more human written for a project where you actually want people to adopt it

I assume so when they release Flash 3.8 or 4.0 or whatever they can claim it's not a price increase?

Agreed I want an IDE but only architecture. I suspect it’ll get superseded though eventually too.

Is your point that such historical prices only occur when the shit is hitting the fan? Because the first time oil ever went above $100 was at the start of the 2008 financial crisis...

It's too bad Optane PMem is dead

New comment by nharada in "Kimi K3 Is Competitive with Fable; Kimi K3 and Fable Is SoTA"

nharada — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 23:12:13 +0000

Is there something specifically with Kimi that's better here? As far as I know Kimi pricing is about the same as Sonnet 5 -- what happens if you use that model and Fable instead? Or Grok 4.5 which is even cheaper?

A 24 kWh cap per day seems very reasonable. Drawing 8 kW is quite a lot.

Is that the correct comparison? Fable is twice the price

Yeah if it has the amount of content people are expecting I'd say it'll be well worth 80 bucks

Imagine if Github said "if we detect you're building a competitor to Github, we will silently degrade the results of your CI actions so that tests sometimes randomly fail"

I've been wondering when we'll see it unambiguously showing up in there. I suspect this time next year it'll be visible for sure, maybe Q4 of this year?

New comment by nharada in "Waymo says expecting driverless taxis to stay out of bike lanes is unrealistic"

nharada — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 19:49:05 +0000

At least here in SF the ideal thing would be that any vehicle dropping off in the bike lane gets fined or ticketed. This includes Waymo, Uber, cabs, personal cars, whatever. In practice it's very rare to get a ticket for this, which is why customers expect it from both Waymo and Uber.

This is super cool and exactly what I've been looking for for personal projects I think. I wanna try it out, but the "agent" part could be more seamless. How does my coding agent know how to work this thing?

I'd suggest including a skill for this, or if there's already one linking to it on the blog!

Saying nothing about the actual performance of this model, it does strike me how .... minimal(?) this announcement is. Their safety section is like 2 paragraphs about bioweapons. Go look at the reports for OpenAI and Anthropic's model releases. It's like 50+ pages of tests, examples, reports, and benchmarks across a bunch of safety and wellfare metrics.

If Meta wants to be seen as a cutting edge massive lab they need to come across as one instead of looking like a school project version of a frontier model.
