Any experiences with DeepSeek v4.1 Flash? So far, feels like the best model for coding tasks?

TIL: whenever you register a certificate with Let's Encrypt (or anything else), the domain immediately becomes public and within 1 second a hoard of bots will be pondering your server for .env files

Tokenomics 101: the token blend when talking agentic is 95% cache, so essentially if you're looking at a single number look at the cache price Now DeepSeek v4 Flash is ~$0.02/Mtok v4.1 Flash is $0.006/Mtok It just got 3x cheaper 🤯

Google's internal process to approve felonies must be longer than Anthropic's. On the other hand, Facebook's management must be disappointed at their engineers, given that felony is assumed

If you’re also fascinated by what people are doing with the fly connectome (and wondering what the fly thinks about all this) read “Lena,” by @qntm.org a very short story written like a Wikipedia article about the near future that may be waiting for us. qntm.org/mmacevedo

In other news, GLM 3.5 Flash seems to be smart enough AND has vision AND is 1/3rd of the price of DeepSeek v4 Flash?

What I love about modern packaging is that you'll receive a dictionary of disclaimers that you're never going to read nor use, but on the other hand they will drop you a think slice of paper with 3 hieroglyphs to explain how to use the product. Awkward sense of priorities

Philosophers are actually the kind of people the best suited for AI engineering. It's been 2600 years those guys are fighting over engineering the proper prompts and it's paying off only now. They got language skills and logics. On hindsight, they are better armed than most developers 🤓

To be fair it's not even true. It's organized around Nash equilibriums, which are a massive pain in the ass. And the only way to get out of them is a strong and sustainable government. Which you'd also want to keep democratic. We're so doomed.

When Anthropic uses Fable: oh no it committed 5 felonies in our back. Woopsie. When I use Fable: you asked to look for a bug in a dependency? ARE YOU A HACKER? THIS INCIDENT WILL BE REPORTED PALANTIR IS LOOKING AT YOU

Reminder: before re-encoding 3 To of RAW files, think to use the "release" build of your Rust project, not the "debug". The difference in performance is WILD (went from 9 days ETA to less than 1 day)

Ma, look! I invented a new lossless RAW image compression codec which outperforms lossless DNG both in size and encoding cost. Claude coded it in literally 3 minutes, lol.

Turns out that DNGs are like half the size of my ARW raws. Claude made a little Rust tool to help recover several To of storage on my NAS 🤓

So many AI generated ads. People are going to be very tired very fast of this. Big brands will soon be shooting ads with IMAX, I'm not joking

We got a government that does less of its job year after year. No decent climate policy, declining maintenance of forests, budget cuts for firefighters... Yeah let's pin everything on a handful of poor schmucks. Don't forget to use the small button when flushing...

One of the best properties of open source is that when the documentation is lacking you can always check the source code and know exactly what is happening. Funnily enough with agentic coding, now agents do the same thing and build their own ad-hoc documentation for the task at hand

If it comes from Facebook it's a piece of shit So far this rule has proven extremely efficient in picking tech products, from Yarn to React. But I must say, Zstandard works just great. Blows LZMA out of the water on CPU cost (270x faster) and even compresses better. Thanks Python for adding it

What I love about Fable is that it knows the coding agent platform will prevent it from reading the .env so it just cheats immediately

Fable proving my point: 1. LLMs are good at what humans are bad and vice versa 2. More parameters just means more constraints can be followed at the same time 3. It took A LOT of human intelligence to solve this problem

Really not sure what to think of Nolan spending A LOT more effort than I thought into filming in IMAX All that for a handful of people to ever be able to see the movie as "intended" Is that elitist bullshit? An actual break from the great normalizer? Guess I should watch the movie

Me: making a trivial app, must support billions of screens and devices Nolan: tries to reach the heart of people, makes a movie that can only be seen correctly on 41 IMAX screens worldwide Less people will see the "intended" movie than ravers manage to enter the Berghain 🫠
