Obviously I hope for the fluff get shaken out in the gentlest way possible but that’s not usually how it goes.

GitHub Copilot pricing changes leans heavily on my thoughts. I thought there’d be more time.

Absolutely having an argument with myself that I need a Mac M5 Pro with the highest spec GPU available. For the express purpose of migrating to local inference just as the cheap cloud tokens bubble pops.

This is what I’ve been saying to anyone who will listen for a long time.
Add in a lot of subsidised tokens and even good use cases are running on unsustainable stacks.
There will be a shakeout of the fluff and what is of substance will survive.

I also tried using Gemma4 as the model in the same stack and the Qwen model gave better results.

So, I’ve been experimenting with Pi coding agent with qwen-coder-next as an all open source coding agent stack. I’m pretty happy with the results. Although wasn’t really doing anything which’s really push the model’s capabilities.

Honestly on first read, I thought this was a Onion headline.

I prefer yours.

This is their policy announcement? Who is this for?

This is the way.

I suspect in the text based version the ‘memory’ is just the chat session itself.
Voice interaction adds the complexity of the transcription.

The challenge really is identifying the number as an item which syntactically should be stored as opposed to a number which is just some other part of the text.
It might be a harder problem than it seems at first glance.

It isn’t solvable with LLMs, which are stateless models. They don’t have memory at inference time by design.
It can already be solved by adding ‘memory’ to LLM-enabled software using a data store.
But why solve this? - there are far simpler solutions for recording a number already. Like a note?

This. Obviously this.

Imagine if any other industry did marketing like these guys

It was a historic building with a unique architectural feature of aesthetic interest. Many such buildings have been converted before to other purposes such as apartments.
Given this thread starts from a report of the over-provision of student housing, we hardly needed student housing there, did we?

Listing is not in itself a bad thing. It was perfectly fine building before it was butchered.

If anyone should pay for it, it's the developers and not the local Council Tax payers.

The whole building was still standing and the facade was locally listed before the development. It was a cynical move by the architect to tear down the old building, keep only the listed part and not align the building with the retained structure.

I don’t think that issue is limited only to creative hacks.

There is a ton in this report, like how @pypi.org is able to respond so quickly to malware thanks to our network of trusted reporters and how to keep yourself secure both as a maintainer and user of Python packages.

There always has been working class writers. They too often don’t have the connections or the support to get their writing in front of people who want to read it, but the craft has always been there.
The injustice that prevents them from being heard is not solved or is even exacerbated by AI.

Then green energy was vastly more expensive than fossil fuels, now it isn’t.

Badenoch wants us to prop up the dying industries of the past.

How is it possible that a decent sunshade for laptop screens remains an unsolved problem?

This is very true. I feel disappointed every time someone tells me they use an LLM instead of a calculator now for basic arithmetic. Which happens more often than it should.

I love this. Sign more.

Not my expertise but I tend to agree. Article 5 was not activated for the Vietnam war, for example. Or indeed for the Falklands.
