Self hosting might win on control, but it’s harder to manage so I went managed (CF Tunnel). Edge terminates TLS, my Caddy only speaks HTTP, nothing to cert renew (unless you cerbot, but that’s not a guarantee if Let’s encrypt is down).
I think a major reason is that China has 1.4 billion people, and Chinese developers can use much cheaper AI models like DeepSeek and Qwen. As a Chinese person, I'm glad to see more of these affordable and powerful models, and I don't like closed-source ones that much.
Very coool side project!
how are you currently sourcing or curating the ads featured on the wall?
is it an automated scraping pipeline or manual submission?
How do you expect things to be popular without a company with self-interest? Producing a linux phone that people want requires immense capital, they're not just spending that and then releasing as open source forever.
By the time the product becomes "popular", it's then just one more platform that needs to follow investor interest and laws.
DeepSeek V4 Flash. I used Claude before and loved it, no complaint other than it cost more than I’m eager to pay. It's for a side project, so no employer that foots the bill.
Anyway, I switched to DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro for a while and I enjoyed that it was cheap enough to get work done. I also tried GLM 5.3/5.3-Flash for a while.
The logic behind it: use the more powerful model for deep thinking work, flip to cheaper model for redundant detail work. Which I sort of did for a few weeks, but then started forgetting and could barely tell the difference.
At some point the cheaper Flash models are good enough that I don't need to switch to something more "frontier".
Right now my project is around 320,000 lines of code (including test suite), much of which was written by the $0.14/$0.28 per million tokens model.
Thanks for your reply! But, ummm... I realized that maybe due to our different backgrounds, I might not have expressed my point clearly.
1."Whether it's a kind cat or an evil cat, as long as it catches a mouse, it's the best cat." I'm Gen Z, and like other Gen Zers, I'm generally not very interested in nationalist rhetoric.
But even putting Gen Z aside, any Chinese wouldn't see this as a nationalist comparison (cats and mice). Rather, it expresses the gov's attitude toward "cats" (big corporations(companies? I'm not sure how to choose this word)): as long as they generate enough profit, the government will consider them the "best cat."
2.Based on your country's context (Chinese gov this century has practiced liberalism TO THE EXTREME, that is preciously why I brought up Victoria era and Cyberpunk 2077. Its level of deregulation for the big corporations(companies?) far exceeds that of North America!), you might find it hard to understand why this saying is "notorious/famous" here. You might think freedom should be protected. But if you come to China and live here, you'd see it given
that big corporations has haved unrestricted freedom,
Then there are 1000 Zhipu stealing your privacy, 1000000 Zhipu Pro stealing and selling your privacy, and 1000000000 Zhipu Pro Plus "rob" your privacy!
I can illustrate this from another angle: Chinese generally prefer products from Western Eu/North Am because their markets have stricter regulation compared to ours.
Remember what I mentioned?
"99.99% of goods are CRAZILY CHEAP while falsely advertising without supervision. 99.99% of apps collect users' private info and then sell it. You can easily see this because almost no website even asks if you're okay with them collecting cookies."
And almost all of the negative comments about Zhipu never see on our internet. Because this Zhipu has the money to buy tons of bots. They can easily report posts almost like some DDOS (XD).
0.Finally, my logic is probably all over the place. In fact, I feel hurt. Because GLM is my favorite model (it has something clumsy human warmth. Maybe it seems strange to describe an AI that way, but... umm...maybe this would be beyond my words).
The hurt would not be get diluted just because "other Chinese companies all do the same thing."
Sigh.
So, as a Chinese, I don't feel like America is getting worse.
People only truly cherish order once you've lost it.
I hope American companies don't become like China.
Seems pretty obvious now that OpenAI is just hyping their models in order to get companies (in this case, chip developers) to use their products in order to learn from their (exfiltrated) IP. Any corporation would be foolish to use any of their or Microsoft’s products, particularly those with valuable IP. There’s nothing in the article that says AI did anything creative but rather that it was used for software development within the overall project. Clear misleading title. Suggest to mark this as clickbait.
I disagree, I think 'Bug' is a risk-shedding weasel-word. It's meant to shift blame away from the technology and its creator (multibillion dollar AI companies etc) in a way that doesn't hold those actors accountable or responsible for the outcomes.
In any other software it would be an error, regression, hallucination. And in a human process it would be at ~least something someone would call 'bullshit'.
We all know that junior candidates have been hit the hardest by the reduction in jobs in the software engineering field. We’re here to talk about what that means for how work is getting done today, for the futures of the people graduating with CS degrees or coding bootcamps, and for the future of the industry as a whole if it continues not investing in upcoming talent.
