> The real loser in all this is obviously Europe, which has nothing competitive once the Chinese models are gone.

Those models are open source / open weights. Europeans can continue with Chinese models as a base same like Cursor used Kimi K2.5 a base for their composer 2.0 model or SWE-2 from cognition is post-trained Kimi K3

You probably mean great grand parents. You can only have 2 grandfathers.

I recently was hunting for some storage on my ssd and noticed had 14GB of tiny files in codex in /.staging/marketplace. They really don't care about our drives. Once they fix one things they break another stuff.

A lot of energy is used for heating, heating water is more efficient with fossil fuel than with electricity - because for electricity you have transmission loss.

Super Intelligence name change is most likely about enrichment - there were reports about sales of .si (slovenia) increased significantly many months ahead of annoucement - most likely insiders.

there is not information that's exactly the same bacteria and that drugs work. It might be novel one or modified in the lab. Even for flu we don't have general vaccine that works.

He quit google so that he could speak openly about this topic. He explained in interview how he even got into google before - sold his company to google because he has adult kid that is handicapped and he is the only provider and be in this life forever - a fair choice IMHO.

AFAIK he didn't expect this will develop that fast. The biggest issue is not that technology is dangerous but that we develop it a break-the-neck speed.

you can pretty much say the same about many countries like italy, greece or even developing one. But we should be comparing to last 1-2 decades rather than 1-2 centuries. And in my opinion precovid era in poland was better than current one.

golden age was precovid we are passed the peak even thought we got into G20 I suspect GDP increased a lot of because inflation.

Been living a lot in SE Asia in the last 12 years but ever yeah in poland for few months. There has been really big inflation in the last 2-3 years and everybody notice it.

Been twice this year in Italy, one time in alps and last week in puglia and there is a reason so many Poles go there for holiday - its cheaper or similar price but better than taking a holiday in poland.

Wish they explained more. Even though I'm mostly native iOS its seems react native is better stack for AI and iteration (hot refresh etc) - the main reason pretty much all AI vibecoding app were implemented via expo/react native.

I also believed that finally this year react native got mature enough with improved tooling and performance to the point that it started to being 'boring' technology.

There is a reason that South East Asia is popular for digital nomads and for retired expats. Thailand and Vietnam have still very affordable places if you avoid tourist traps. I would recommend first trying some easier destination like chiang mai or danang (if first time in asia), staying for 2 months (vacation/workation) and seeing if you still like it.

yeah some people are very orthodox and think having a partner, kids, pets, mortgage is a must. The easiest exceptions is being a monk or priest and they are fine and society accept it.

How then about monks or priests? I wouldn't clasify them as all of them being sad or having a fundamental need to be loved. Also loved can have different meaning - mostly people think about family and partners. There is also community.

probably less - I sometimes manage to burn like most of my 5h credits on Claude 5x Max plan in 2h.

The annoying things is that you gave bigger tasks and is such session finished maybe 70% and after 5h pool resets cache will expire so that if you "please continue" it will wipe out again a lot of your 5h pool)

This simplify integrations. Right now you have to maintain your own billing credits for user and even maintain user database, abuse detection, planning when you have to top up your openrouter accounts etc. Lots of hassle and this is a reason why many developers charge e.g. more in subscriptions the end user.

It's more user and developer friendly when you tell your user:

- you don't have to create new account just log in to your openrouter account

- bring your own key

- you don't have to pay any subscription. we charge small markup fee (e.g. 5-10%) over your usage inside our app.

> Set your model and effort level before you start. Changing either one mid-conversation can bust your prompt cache, which can increase token cost.

I know we supposed to do this but is there any particular reason why such things cannot be supported? I thought its running on same model just different settings like reasoning. This would be super useful.
