I think a lot better

- the best image related stuff I've seen is where the harness is constantly cropping and looking closer at things (likely helps a lot for computer vision in general) - also it would be interesting because the harness could almost have its own "palette" as if it could play with blank squares and different strokes over lapping or blending before applying to the main canvas

I've had a bit of fun working with low resource languages (aboriginal australian), and enjoying the result from Facebook's No Language Left Behind project -> https://huggingface.co/facebook/nllb-200-distilled-600M

I'd recommend giving it a squiz. (I assume Amish has a large corpus)

I'm waiting for someone to make an open source gene sharing platform to rival ancestry etc in the future.

There must be some cool way to share enough structure with some cryptography to share parts of your dna to find relatives etc

I'm a full stack web developer who can build apps from the ground up. I've worked mostly at startups so I am used to wearing many hats. I am a very product focused developer who prioritizes user feedback first and foremost. I'm generally very flexible when investigating new roles. Nothing too big or small.

I'm on Google pixel 10 xl, everything could be nicer in general, the chart isn't very smooth when scrolling around etc

But the main problem is I can't seem to reliably click on a node, it works occasionally but if I find one I want to click on, it either takes ten taps or some I couldn't just open what so ever.

Discussed building it with my friends, obviously you might share secrets and other real reasons, but if gangs of corporations are already doing it, I don't see why we shouldn't just share it amongst the crowd too.

I was loving grok-4.1-fast, very good and cost effective.

But it's not actually 4.1 anymore they silently rerouted it to 4.3 and just started charging more - https://www.reddit.com/r/grok/comments/1ta8yrn/grok_41_fast_...

Quite a bad practise.

Regardless if it is a messy soup or not, if disk/cost is not an issue, I would have no problem with anyone (likely agents) looking at what I was doing, and forgive me, but my reasoning™.

Not overly confident in my position, but I believe agents prefer the extra information albeit noise to some.

I would wonder that too, I'm only a novice openrouter user, but I do notice it reroutes my same-model requests to different providers.

Maybe users reporting otherwise are just looking at their client reports which wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I've been super impressed with this genealogy workflow -> https://github.com/mattprusak/autoresearch-genealogy

Somewhere should definitely make this for missing persons.

New comment by thomasfromcdnjs in "I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job"

thomasfromcdnjs — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:30:47 +0000

I was looking for a comment like this.

I have done interviews with companies that I generally thought were wholesome enough, but you can't control how individuals feel on certain days, they could be going through some dark days at home etc.

I'm not sold on AI interviews, but it could actually end up letting you fully share your experience more than a human could on average.
