Funny I just did that today to replace Jina with Readability. It's surprisingly good.

while this might be true for Grok, GPT and Claude I don't think tarring _all_ labs with this brush is demonstrably accurate.

I get the sense you're not referring to the French fashion brand, what is Hermes?

Sydney, Australia - the most I can get is 500mbps from our government owned nbn. I have a 1Gb plan, but in reality it's half that.

The cool thing about superpowers is it's built using evals rather than just vibes.

I've been using this for a few weeks and it's a real workhorse.

I agree. Our greatest nation-threats are not the countries we're told they are.

wow - I was looking at moving from Tesla to Skoda for our next EV. Last month it was interceptor missiles for Israel and now this.

I've not tried one. What are the drawbacks? eye strain? discomfort?

Maybe governments should be in charge of their own critical infra; I'm happy with as much non-government controlled software as possible.

Brings back memories if when b-list was on the front page of HN all the time.

Another approach to preserve the fully functional api is decorators.

Yes agree, I imagine that's why NVIDIA and OpenAI jumped at them.

I wouldn't touch that vibe-coded mess with a ten foot pole.

I agree, and think AMD and Nvidia philosophy diverged way before Cuda.

I can't count how many times over the last 30 years I've had AMD drivers crash the OS (Linux and Windows). Nvidia have been mostly rock solid.

The thing is, the die isn't much use without a stable driver (and AI stack).

Nice. I've been thinking of doing something similar in our local jurisdiction (Australia).

Are you able to share (or point me toward) any high-level details: (key hardware, hosting stack, high-level economics, key challenges)?

I'd love to offer to buy you a coffee but I won't be in Switzerland any time soon.

Surprises me to.

I thought A16Z were a top-tier VC wanting to create long-term value. I didn't see black-hat social media bot farms in their focus areas.

It might be a bit facetious, but if I had 10m invested with them I'd be asking questions about their investment thesis.

Not sure if you're fully over the context that openAI bought Astral - who "own" uv.
