Team Fortress for cats. Nice!
The way around this I've seen so far is to have an LLM write software that is verified, both in answers and instruction. The problem is who does the verification; ideally that doesn't require a teacher...
As the author noted, I see libraries becoming more and more centers of community, notably in the Bay Area (California, USA). Just check out the events at all of the Santa Clara County library system (8 libraries that share books): https://sccl.bibliocommons.com/v2/events?_gl=1*11u0hec*_ga*M...

Many events aren't even book related-- see events for Lego building, homework help, even Dungeons and Dragons events.

I wonder if there's a resurgence across the world where libraries are places of community sharing.

At least from an interview with Amanda, key philosopher at Anthropic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9aGC6Ui3eE&t=1912s
why though? I doubt subscribers are moving the need for ARR, even for OpenAI

I see. Though if you follow the argument set forth by Dario, it seems you'll not only have your concern to worry about (i.e., personal risks of your data used against you), but many more as well on top of that.

As far as AI is concerned, it looks like you will need to pick 1?

I do think this question comes up a lot-- I can understand why.

For some well-explained reasons, check out https://darioamodei.com/essay/the-adolescence-of-technology and search for "CCP".

90%+ cache hit rate is common, and so you'll see on places like openrouter that Deepseek cache cost is indeed a magnitude cheaper than the rest.

Agreed on hoping books will be rewritten. It seems to be happening, but slowly. E.g., Harvard Machine Learning Systems: https://mlsysbook.ai/vol1/

Thanks, missed this and will try to remove
Thank you! Not sure why it's so hard to find (still don't see where you got this from), esp if it's using exe.dev's platform.

I'd like to try out the settlers-style game, but can't find them? Nothing here, either: https://github.com/raffael-hickisch

Re:Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development on Monday June 29, 2026 @04:09PM (#48724481)
I'm also curious, as this could pay for a trip out there, especially if buying for friends.
Anybody have experience with https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom? They seem to have similar goals in token reduction, but headroom appears to be broader in scope.
Re:How to setup a local coding agent on macOS on Friday June 12, 2026 @05:28PM (#48509635)
That's fair. There are even many dimensions to define 'quality' which include use case (coding? writing? multimedia?) and prompt. I suppose if you ask testers to provide benchmarks with their analysis, that might hamper their desire to share.
always have a backup plan (:

Wonderful idea to document, share and even have positive outcomes.

The author would probably love this YT channel which is all about helping others come to the same realization as he did: https://www.youtube.com/@socialanimal
