I did not suggest a downward trend. (It's a trend graph)
Very generous indeed. Here is the updated chart. The downward movement should not be overlooked.

Highlights:

1) The config.json of the model has trust_remote_code=True. 2) Python runs exec_module() of the remotely downloaded class 3) HuggingFace scanning did not cover this vector

A different picture if you include Q3 data in their chart.

Q3 data from their pre-IPO investor roadshow.

Show HN: Robin – Non-algorithmic Twitter client

Information pollution affects all of us. When we are served a random mix of important news, half-truths and “For You” posts from strangers in the same feed, our ability to make sense of the world are diminished.Over time, it wears us down.Robin is an open source Twitter/X client for iOS and Android. It restores a clean, chronological set of posts (only from people you follow.) You can hide...

I spend time to add extra observability, cross-checking and alerting at runtime to offset the risk.
I am seeing crashes too.

Thank you, mathematicians: for thinking deeply about this and sharing your thoughts!
I am looking forward to your findings on home-field advantage. It's natural that Claude Code will work better with Anthropic models. If we know by how much, it will inform many of us.
The shift of a craftsman from making products by hand to designing machines that make products is a transition from manual maker to system architect. It happened before.

Different kinds of logic puzzles. They are also good stimulus to our brain and valuable skills.

I switched gear to learn how to train AI, design evals and explore neuroscience so we can further apply how our brains better in the new world. I enjoy coding, but it's time to adapt.

I came to this realization after I used Cursor to rewrite a 10-year old codebase (I knew every bit of the details.) and it was done in 2 days. Better, fewer technical debt and I was happy to archive the old repo.

This pattern of using original source code and rewrite to improve them (and get rid of technical debt) is very real. I did one for an old app in Objective C, move it to Flutter and said goodbye to my old //TODOs. And get an Android build as a bonus. :-)

I made my own to prioritize these 4 things:

1. Fact-checking built-in 2. Declutter the page 3. Lightweight 4. Ability to listen to the saved articles when I want to

There are very few apps on app stores that don't need network these days. Feel free to check out the details on the settings page on the app.
This is unusual. It does have libraries from MLKit for selfie segmentation. So, maybe missing access to Play Services.
Somewhat related... I made an indie app called TwinCam which combines front-and-back camera images to create a combined selfie. Free. No strings attached. Cheers!

I ran a comparison using this OPF with what I have in clarity.evergreen-labs.org (it's a Tauri app with local PII redaction.)

A few things jump out:

1) Dates are aggressively redacted, creating false positives. 2) Non-English names are not working yet.

love this. thanks for sharing!
Thank you. The learning aspect of reading how AI tackles something is rewarding.

It also reduces my hesitation to get started with something I don't know the answer well enough yet. Time 'wasted' on vibe-coding felt less painful than time 'wasted' on heads-down manual coding down a rabbit hole.

I upgraded from M3 Air to M5 Pro 14". Not for LLM, but for faster build times. The disk access time is much faster on M5 Pro. My build time (iOS/Android) was reduced by more than 50%. So, that alone is worth the upgrade.
This will foster multi-app collaboration.

Google devs: Please consider doing this on Firebase to make it work on iOS and web too.

Great idea. Addresses a real need. Best of luck with your launch!
Thank you! This is brilliant. I have it bookmarked.

I use my spare time helping kids at a FIRST robotics team. It's fun.
