Last paragraph made me chuckle

npm security team has removed the offending package: https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/10604#issuecomment-415...

new installs should be safe now

What a brilliant idea! is this all done locally? That's incredible.

While the vector store is local, it is sending the data to Gemini's API for embedding. (Which if using a paid API key is probably fine for most use cases, no long term retention/training etc.)

works completely locally with a decent model: https://github.com/jakejimenez/sentinelsearch

Make a proof of concept, honestly worked fairly well: https://github.com/jakejimenez/sentinelsearch

I am curious how the TPS compares vs default OS virtual memory paging

I always enjoy reading Anthropic's blogposts, they often have great articles

They did something to Settings after MacOS Monterey that made it very slow. I miss the snappiness of the old app!

I don't know for a fact, but I'd bet a few digits of cold hard cash it's a SwiftUI rewrite that is to blame. (Any1 in the know want to chime in?)

And yeah, it's terrible. Apple doesn't make good apps anymore.

(This is part of why I think electron does so well -- it's not as good as a really good native app [e.g. Sublime Text], but it's way better than the sort of default whatever you'll get doing native. You get a lot of niceness that's built into the web stack.)

Well, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they started using webviews for stuff like system UI: https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2022/inspecting-web-views-in-ma...

"He will not divide us!"

What's that, a little speaker?

I miss those times :(

Club Penguin was a gem. Now all we get are Roblox.

I'm afraid that ship has sailed

I specifically do not use the CN/SG based original provider simply because I don't want my personal data traveling across the pacific. I try to only stay on US providers. Openrouter shows you what the quantization of each provider is, so you can choose a domestic one that's FP8 if you want

Funny, living in Europe, I prefer using EU and Chinese hosts because as I don't want my data going to the US.

The trust in US firms and state is completely gone.

Living in the US, my trust in US firms and state is also completely gone. My only hope is local LLMs.

Tangent note: this sounds like the same mistake as EU's reliance on Russia.

Not really. China doesn't share a border with us, doesn't claim any EU territory, and didn't historically rule our lands the way the USSR did. In the context of spheres of influence and security interests, its strategic goals aren't directly at odds with the EU's core interests.

EU is not a singular country, and Germany or France don't border Russia either.

Considering China is ok to supply Russia, I don't see how your second point has any standing either.

> EU is not a singular country, and Germany or France don't border Russia either.

But soon they could, that's the problem.

Supply? China supplies Ukraine too. Ukraine's drone sector runs heavily on Chinese supply chains. And if China really wanted to supply Russia, the war would likely be over by now, Russia would have taken all of Ukraine.

GLM 5 beats Kimi on SWE bench and Terminal bench. If it's anywhere near Kimi in price, this looks great.

Edit: Input tokens are twice as expensive. That might be a deal breaker.

GLM-5 at FP8 should be similar in hardware demands to Kimi-K2.5 (natively INT4) I think. API pricing on launch day may or may not really indicate longer term cost trends. Even Kimi-K2.5 is very new. Give it a whirl and a couple weeks to settle out to have a more fair comparison.

It seems to be much better at first pass tho. We'll see how real costs stack up
