Why is xAI giving up their advantage? Is this a signal that their frontier model improvements are plateauing and decided there is no value in hoarding all their compute?

Thank you for sharing. Is there a gitbook link?
Do you mind sharing your system that worked for you in detail or re-direct any good posts that detail them? Appreciate it.

Re:Nintendo announces the Switch 2 [video] on Thursday January 16, 2025 @08:27AM (#42724805)
Relevant: https://www.nintendo.com/successor/en-us/index.html

Nintendo Direct focused on Switch 2: Apr 2nd.

Looks like joy-cons will have 'mouse-like' functionality and there's a 'C' on right joy-con but its functionality is not reveled. New Mario Kart showcased would probably be one of the first exclusives.

Used lunchmoney for years before moving to CoPilot couple of years ago. Can vouch for both of them to being great. I just moved to CoPilot because they got macos and ios apps unlike lunchmoney (web only back when I used it)
I would still take 40 hrs in 4 days vs 5 days. Full extra day is a blessing.
I have migrated services couple of times and used Soundiz and Songshift. They miss few matches but overall gets the job done.

Re:Ten classic fountain pens for the personal touch on Tuesday May 02, 2023 @10:18AM (#35787822)
Ten cheap yet great fountain pens from my experience:

- Platinum Preppy/Prefounte/Plasir ($3-$20)

- TWSBI ECO ($30-$50)

- Pilot Metro/Cavalier ($20-$50)

Cheap and OK pens (I found these better for drawing than writing):

- Lamy Safari/Al-Star ($20-$50)

- Kaweco Sport Classic ($20 -- )

'Affordable' Gold Nib pens (These are necessarily 'better' but writing experience is different(softer feel) which some people prefer)

- Pilot Elite 95S ($80-$100)

- Pilot Decimo/Capless ($115-$160)

All prices are from online stores available in US.

Out of the box midjourneyv5 generates great images but SD has controlnet, plethora of custom models to pick from, can run locally on most machines gives it an edge in my opinion.

Re:Architecture diagrams should be code on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @04:37PM (#34345276)
In our team, we use https://diagrams.mingrammer.com to create architectural or dataflow diagrams in our docs via code.
They've also botched The Wheel of Time.
Same team developed dbdocs.io where you can have both diagrams and data dictionaries of your tables and db together.
