<p><i>Trying until you find something that doesn’t fail</i> is the model used throughout evolution & engineering, think of bridges collapsed, airplanes falling from the sky or exploded steam locomotives.<p>In engineering you learn from these mistakes and try never making them again. Do we want to go through this evolution every time we solve a software issue? Just <i>because we can</i> with an unlimited number of cheap tokens? I think not, I’d rather use the knowledge build up that also knows about the edge cases forgotten to test. Or better, use multiple models that evaluate each other, as Entropic describes it in their recent report <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49316271">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49316271</a><p>> We expect that agents coordinating in the wild will act in higher variance ways than we see here, because they’ll have different backgrounds and therefore different contexts. They also, presumably, won’t all be Claudes.</p>

<p>Looking at these numbers IMHO, with Gemini you get the <i>speed</i> what you pay for.<p><pre><code>                    Intel    Cost    
                     lig      per
                     ence    Task   Speed

  Gemini 3.7 flash    56     0.40    338
  GLM 5.3 flash       57     0.09     49
  Factor               1      4.4    6.9
</code></pre>
I have both GLM & Gemini in a subscription and see no reason for choosing GLM 5.3 Flash. Working with de speed of Gemini 3.7 Flash is such a <i>delight</i> that I accept the hassle of working with Antigravity CLI, coming from Claude Code which I use for GLM.</p>

Sleev is very opaque about how it works and definitely will bust your cache.</i></p>

<p>> <i>The entire sexual revolution went out the window and we're now in a world where young people have a lot less sex than ever before.</i><p>Source?<p>Not withstanding that people are not willing to make sacrifices, my impression is that the last decades young women gained the freedom of enjoying sex as much as they like not restricted by religious or other norms. Sleeping with several different partners a week is not frowned upon but encouraged by friends & family ’<i>Good for you, enjoy!</i>’.<p>And related to the discussion: <i>safe</i> sex with contraception imho is among the most environmental friendly activities as long as one travels by foot or bike.</p>
