I recently switched from the OpenCode GUI to OpenChamber, which still uses the OpenCode backend. It's pretty great. One of the features is the ability to select a portion of an agent's response and add a comment to it. Comments are sent along with the next prompt. It's also much better at handling subagents. With a proper plan in place, it will send out swarms in waves.

It's terrible. I tried it via API in OpenCode. It's so slow, and the lack of reasoning output makes it feel even slower. And I also noticed the lies. I gave it a high-res image of a map to classify labelled locations, and it started going on about how smart it was for the map creator to use squares as the symbol for one of the categories of labelled places, and gave me a list of all the places with squares along with their category, but the map has no squares. It's circles, triangles, and stars.

If revenue growth was all that mattered, you could just sell investor dollars for $0.50.

That's not so hard when you're also adding zeros to the funding.

I'm enjoying Alibaba's Token Plan. They don't have any hourly/daily cutoffs. You get your allotment for the month and use it when you want.

And because of technology like this, soon every robot will be able to as well.

Also "available today for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers".

I have AI Pro, but AI Studio tells me I can "unlock" Argon by upgrading to Ultra.

I apologize for not personally writing a quarter million responses to user prompts.

I had GLM-5.3 in OpenCode make this while I drank Guiness 3 through 8. Then I posted it to HN before bed, thinking a couple other people might get a kick out of it.

~250k requests and a brief stint at #1 later, and I'm amazed that my 2 RTX-4060ti's haven't collapsed under the load. The model is an abliterated version of Qwen3.6 35B running on my PC. (qwen3.6-35b-a3b-uncensored-hauhaucs-aggressive)

So anyway, it's just a fun satirical sort of protest directed at the absurdity of it all. No attempts to monetize have been made or will be made. I'm already at 76% of my daily quota for the cloudflare workers, so it won't be around much longer. My budget for this project was the $10 I spent on the domain.

I don't care how good their models get, I won't sign up for one of their plans until they define "X" in their pricing. 5X of this plan, 20X of that plan means nothing when they never tell you what "X" is.

Maybe this model can finally figure it out for them.

There's a small chance this could be signalling a pivot, or at least posturing for a possible future pivot. If they see the mega-datacenter market drying up or slowing down, they may opt for a future in hardware targeted to the individual or smaller teams. In other words, as soon as the VC money for centralized AI dries up, they start selling hardware that doesn't require VC-levels of money to buy.

If you haven't already.

Amendment 4:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Amendment 5:

"..nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Serious question: What happens when every consumer phone has this "feature"? If a citizen records someone committing a crime, will that video still be considered admissible in court? Or will the state only regard its own systems as infallible?

US EVs were also heavily subsidized, but they were all built using Chinese parts.

1. Personal Computers are personal. Inviting an outside observer into one is no different than inviting one into the bathroom. What I do in there is my business.

2. Friction. This is likely MS's attempt to slow-walk Windows into a subscription service. If nobody resisted, that walk wouldn't be slow.

If you're looking for a backpack, I can't recommend Osprey enough. They are still a independent US company with a lifetime warranty they actually stand by. I had to call their customer service just last week after I ordered the wrong size bag. I was connected to an actual human immediately, and he sent me a prepaid return label, even though it was my fault and I was fully expecting to pay for return shipping myself. I own several of their bags and have never had a single issue with any of them.

The same thing it was designed to do and has always done: create unimaginable sums of money out of thin air that it loans to the government, with interest.

You can just click on your username in the upper right and change "showdead" from "no" to "yes".

It won't find the correct answer. Garbage in, garbage out.

I can't shake the feeling that the RAM shortage was intentionally created to serve as a sort of artificial moat by slowing or outright preventing the adoption of open weight models. Altman is playing with hundreds of billions of other people's dollars, trying to protect (in his mind) a multi-trillion dollar company. If he could spend a few billion to shut down access to the hardware people need to run competitor's products, why wouldn't he?

"Reviewed 15 sources."

Maybe it should've reviewed 20.

They're probably looking at DDR4.

In my late teens, I worked as a bill collector. If I suspected an account owner was deceased, I'd call the Social Security Administration and ask them if they had a certificate of death on file. If they didn't, they'd tell me they couldn't comment. If they did, they'd say so, because dead people don't have a right to privacy.

Everyone has easy access right now. Everyone had easier access before the TikTok deal. That's the wrong direction for a free country and it's particularly alarming because the deal was forced by the government.

You should see what Google has done with the latest version of the Phone app. You used to be able to click on contacts and that would show you.. your contacts. Now it shows recent calls with a search bar for contacts. Say I want to call a friend named Dave. As soon as I start typing, search results begin populating, but none of the names it offers start with "D", they just contain "D" somewhere. It could be the middle of a last name. And I can't figure out why they'd fuck this up. There are no ads to be injected into my attempts to find a contact, so I have to wonder if this is just the beginning of a push to ruin every convenience so users will turn to Gemini for everything.
