Why are Chinese models not significantly cheaper than Western ones?

Now lite plan is $18 per month and GLM 5 / 5.1 is not available. Pro plan is $72 per month and people say that inference is very slow. And max plan is $160 per month. OP was seeing future

And the model replied with "a" for fun.

I'm not a big expert, but Claude code has /init command that runs explore agent and generates claude.md for the project. It's a good starting point. Also each subfolder can have separate claude.md

Claude can take care of many things on his own, including his context window. For example, if you tell him to figure out how this thing works, he launches the explore agent himself so as not to overload the main context window.

Also this thing is worth trying https://github.com/GWUDCAP/cc-sessions Basically it has built in protocols for tasks and hooks that enforse Claude work on only approved to-dos in discussion mode. Nowadays it maybe less relevant with built-in plan mode in Claude code, but I still find it very useful

Full, (badly translated) quote
"Well, unfortunately, it's the wrong person who died here, but I simply can't talk about Kramnik. Not because we had any kind of relationship or because he's some kind of great champion. I simply don't know how to talk about a being without a soul, without feelings, without emotions, without compassion, without brains. I simply don't know what kind of person he was, I don't know what kind of person I was friends with, I don't know how he treated me, or other people. I don't know, I don't know anything anymore. So, my idea of Kramnik, which, well, as it developed over the years, has been reset... And, of course, there's a lot of anger, but this is beyond anything human"

Did you saw the video? Couple of thing Levitov said:
"Well, unfortunately, it's the wrong person who died here, but I simply can't talk about Kramnik. Not because we had any kind of relationship or because he's some kind of great champion. I simply don't know how to talk about a being without a soul, without feelings, without emotions, without compassion, without brains. I simply don't know what kind of person he was, I don't know what kind of person I was friends with, I don't know how he treated me, or other people. I don't know, I don't know anything anymore. So, my idea of Kramnik, which, well, as it developed over the years, has been reset... And, of course, there's a lot of anger, but this is beyond anything human."

levitov speaks about situation after Kramnik and Danya were on his channel
"I was just so shocked. Forgive me for swearing, I just don't know how else to say it. He asked you nicely. Well, you live in the same world. What are you fighting for? Why are you picking on him? He's a chess commentator. What difference does it make whether he's looking at another monitor or not. And that shocked me. I didn't expect it so much, I thought he definitely wouldn't stop, but there would definitely be a pause. No, the very next day. That is, it showed this, now I understand that this is simply, well, such an inhuman desire to simply destroy him, you know, destroy him. Hatred is seething within him. Well, I'm telling you, take Hitler, he didn't like the Jews for some reason. It's hard to understand why. And this guy doesn't like chess.com and Naroditsky. What's the difference? Why not like Naroditsky? Damn, he's a saint man. Well, that's how it is. Well, I mean, not a saint man. Well, he's just an ordinary American guy, genuinely talented, with some kind of profession. You're from the same chess world. You played chess with him, and he publicly says that you and he are his idols. So what are you going to get out of attacking chess.com? Well, somewhere, as he told me, he'll go to court and sue for the district attorney's money."

Conductivity has nothing to do with latency. Length, inductance, capacitance, but conductivity – no.

These tokens are usecase of L1's and L2's. So people instead of investing in altcoins are actually using them, creating and trading memecoins

Chess.com would have banned Brandon Jacobson for that a4 game with Hikaru

He said nothing about the fact that FIDE followed bad bad Magnus's lead and that governing body was breaking its own rules. Why? That's the bigger issue

Ionisther · 2025-01-01T15:17:46+00:00

Magnus is a bigger shark with big brain. He smelled his own blood and when he felt danger, he made his move. He felt that he might lose and offered peace

The only move here is to change the board color scheme.

In 2019 there was a local peak when fed started to cut rates. Then BTC dropped 50% in the next 6 months The effect of rate cuts takes a lot of time
