Not to disagree with you, but I've noticed that many people have very little clue about what nature looks like. I see that in CGI/games a lot, trees, clouds, atmosphere, grass, moon... totally wrong from what actually happens in the world. But it looks good! :D

if you have an API key, its as easy as configuring any other model/provider

For anyone looking for truly open alternatives to desktop agent apps (like claude cowork), I suggest taking a peak at Goose: https://goose-docs.ai

A recent discussion here[1] also spiked my interest in "physical computing" I'd love to get on board with people working / brainstorming / exploring new possibilities. I'm very inclined for education, I think the potential is tremendous, but could have plenty other use cases

DS4-Flash is not only "significantly" smaller, it will also benefit from a lot more speed thanks to DSpark
Re:Hy3 on Thursday July 09, 2026 @12:07PM (#48848211)
hardly, its still quite big unless by "local" you mean people that spend many thousands on rigs :)
Re:Hy3 on Thursday July 09, 2026 @12:06PM (#48848200)
Very impressive model for its size

it would be a really great option if it didn't lack vision
What a timely coincidence to this episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfY2JACiDGU
thanks for the extra thoughts :) I do agree... learning to grind is hard, and its definitely a hard challenge for most kids these days. Knife skills doesn't align well with [my] girls, but I'll look for a more gender-aligned idea ;)
Yeah I did teach them to use perplexity, I think its the less AI-ish one and relies on more factual data than any "chat" AI.
I think you might have misunderstood my point. I was not leaning to teach them AI. But since my kids aren't "naturally intended" towards tech and code, my questions is more if this is something I should still push a bit, because if you are not going to be a top-level software engineer, then you probably have no chances to compete with AI. Heck, you already don't, what to speak of 10 years in the future...

Ask HN: What/how are you teaching your kids in the age of AI?

I've been feeling more and more lost. Had plans to teach my 10yr python, maybe something fun with games or robotics. But then I look around and I see others doing 100x more advanced things using AI.Yesterday I tried google ai studio. 1hr later I had an app on my phone. Its hard to justify the motivation of learning all the foundations and hard stuff, when it's so easy to get to the end result...

Yeah, that's true, they are digital, but still feel "old". I was quite amazed while playing a vinyl record, accidentally lowered the volume down to 0, and could still literally hear a bit of sound coming out, not from the speakers, from the needle touching the record. Then I remembered that it's the actual sound waves that are engraved in the record. Amazing stuff
Re:Deepfakes Tore a High School Apart on Friday May 22, 2026 @05:34AM (#48233728)
I've been leaning to more analog (and "old") stuff these days. Not sure if it's because I'm tired of all the crap online, or its a coincidence of getting older and missing the old times. Maybe a bit of both. But I really enjoy sitting in my living room and do nothing except listen to my record and cd player.
Re:Deepfakes Tore a High School Apart on Friday May 22, 2026 @05:33AM (#48233722)
Funny, I've been thinking in the same lines as of lately. The speed-up of the lost of trust (and interest) in everything online will make us care more for the real world around us. Perhaps we will see a big shift in values.

But then again, perhaps we won't and things will just get worse.

Re:SKILL.make: Makefile Styled Skill File on Saturday May 02, 2026 @07:11AM (#47985354)
it's crazy, I have seen so many projects popping up just focusing on reducing token usage. At least caveman speak is funny!

Have to say that since we switched to our own model in a rented GPU, we stopped worrying about tokens and just use the hell out of our AI as much as we want :)

remember TOON? it killed JSON

but does it still exists? Even without AI everyone is utilizating the same css frameworks, same libraries and templates... design is pretty much boring these days. CSS Zen Garden anyone?

I was hoping this would be the model to replace our Qwen3.5-27B, but the difference is marginally small. Too risky, I'll pass and wait for the release of a dense version.
