Frankly, I only skimmed it. Now I see that "On Copilot+ PCs, image generation is local but prompt moderation remains remote".

I don't have a Copilot PC, but if you still need to pay MS to run the model on your own hardware it's laughable.

I don't think they use a model that would run smoothly on most hardware that normal people use.

Besides, you need to sign-in and pay to use that feature. It's very obvious that's not local.

My opinion about Trump is as bad as the next guy's, but we still have better relation with the USA than with China. And it's not like we have much choice.

I'm only aware of some software backdoors in Chinese devices, but times when you could've reverse engineered a chip with microscope are long gone. If there are any it would be really difficult to find them.

MediaTek is a Taiwanese company. Xiaomi could put any backdoor that the government tell them to install and TSMC won't be able to catch that.

I always thought it's the web search tool.

Grok actually shows a number of sources used for an answer. Once I asked it something simple and it apparently scanned 200 different websites. And it was just a short prompt. Now imagine millions of users asking for something multiple times a day.

Agents could work for a long time and burn a lot of tokens if you give them a task that is too hard for them. After enough time, if they don't give up, the slot machine could spit out a working solution.

Personally I find it faster to figure out the hard parts by myself and then give a few smaller tasks to Claude.

Windows is pretty common and well supported in Javaland. Even though I prefer to work on Linux if I can...

That's a lot. On my usual day I burn less than $1 on Opus. I could get beyond $10 only if I have a complex and well-defined problem, which is rare (the second part at least).

Luckily very few people can configure and are interested in local models. But your nearby datacenter running Chinese open-weight models is also good enough.

Cline is pretty good if you use VSCode. It's one of a few AI agent plugins that works in the left sidebar.

I don't use the app (I guess it's about InPost). I usually just scan a QR code that I recieve to my inbox. Code from SMS also works just fine.

Apparently those games supposed to be hard.

So far AI doesn't seem even close to replacing senior engieeners. Hell, it can't even replace junior engieeners entirely.

I use AI agents every day at work and I'm happy with that, but it took over two years and billions of dollars in investment to deliver anything useful (Claude Code et al). The current models are amazing, but they still randomly make mistakes that even a junior wouldn't make.

There's another paradigm shift to be made certainly, because currently it feels like we scaled up a bug brain to spit out code. It works great for some problems, but it's not what software developers usually do at work.

I just found out about pi yesterday. It's the only agent that I was able to run on RISC-V. It's quite scary that it runs commands without asking though.
