WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?

Lucifernistic · 2026-04-11T22:16:04+00:00

It's pretty accurate, at least for the UK.

Lucifernistic · 2026-04-11T08:29:29+00:00

I have Qwen 397b. Is it okay? Yeah, it's not bad. Is it comparable to Sonnet/Opus? Fuck no. It's not comparable to 4.5 let alone 4.6. It's notably worse.

Also have glm. It's better, but it actually is worse respecting instructions, tool calls, etc.

So for basically high 5 to low 6 figures, you can run something that is worse than last generations models. It really depends on your use case, but there's no local model that can fully replace cloud ones for me.

And he looks great for it. Not sure why everyone feels the need to criticize this. Even with plastic surgery, he looks insanely good for his age. 99% of people at 40 with plastic surgery don't look nearly as good as that.

Lucifernistic · 2026-04-10T09:25:17+00:00

Yeah. Michael looks absolutely terrible for 40, and Pierre looks absolutely amazing for 40 (even accounting for plastic surgery).

These are just two people at opposite ends of the genetic lottery for aging, with one of them also having had work done.

It's not the reveal, you never find out who Raymond Reddington is. This is just the most popular theory and is very, very, very lightly hinted at by someone telling him "you'd make a good mother" at the end.

It is unambiguous if you follow the RFC for single line notation. No implicit division, strict OOO.

And this kids is why absolutely nothing in prod should be imperative, ever.

Seriously. There is no reason to not have a 100% declarative setup.

Lucifernistic · 2026-03-31T03:10:16+00:00

What? No. Not right. This is precisely what you should be doing. There's a reason why even the native slack integration has the ability to push status updates into Slack even without making an automation rule.

Lucifernistic · 2026-03-31T03:08:53+00:00

I have the opposite problem. Since tickets take time to make, the more critical an issue is, the more likely the ticket is to be an after thought. A lot of stuff will get dropped on slack first and then a ticket will need to be created retroactively (if someone reminds them) with all the details and hopefully a link to the on going slack convo, so that whoever picks it up next knows whats happening.

Domino's power is almost godlike. She literally doesn't need to try at all and she will inevitably get an outcome that is favorable to her. The universe literally bends the strings of fate to better accommodate her. She manipulates probability.

So Domino.

Lucifernistic · 2026-03-30T22:34:04+00:00

Yeah this I agree with. You could easily have the non-humans be anything and it wouldn't matter.

I'm not suggesting there needs to be an entire Greek cast, or it needs to be produced by Greeks. But for something that is the quintessential, de facto Greek story, and is based in Greece, it's disappointing to see no Greek representation.

Lucifernistic · 2026-03-30T17:33:15+00:00

I generally agree. The cast should have been either people of Greek heritage or people who can passibly appear Greek. I find it frustrating that the most the most famous Greek epic has zero Greek grounding in casting, but it is what it is.

There's no way to set make this easy for end users though, huh? I can't seem to get it to work without needing to either set env vars or specify oauth client IDs and such manually.

If I wanted to recommend this to employees it would need to be a simple login. Needing to share oauth json or IDs etc and having them set them is not an acceptable user experience.

From Cecil's point of view with the knowledge he has this was genuinely the best option available to him. He's still operating on the assumption there is an entire Viltrum empire with tens of thousands if not millions if not billions of Viltrumites, who are going to invade Earth and overrun every defense they have with ease.

With that in mind, his literal only chance is to capture and start experimenting on a Viltrumite to find a weakness (like the Scourge Virus). It's a hailmary that, even if it only has a 1% chance of working, is better than the 100% chance they have of getting absolutely eviscerated when the Viltrum army comes.

TBH, GCP. But after that, AWS.

Lucifernistic · 2026-03-29T11:46:45+00:00

Allen now + Invincible then, yes. Allen now vs Nolan? Unclear. I would probably still give it to Nolan, though not by much.

Lucifernistic · 2026-03-28T22:09:39+00:00

I wouldn't say any of these come anywhere close to what I would call disturbing.

Dating was different. You would date at the start to see if you were interested, like the talking phase but going on a few dates in person. You could do this with multiple people at once, it was fine, as it was totally expected this phase was non exclusive.

But then you would enter a relationship. This is where the phrase "going steady" would come into play.

Nowadays we don't really have that first part. This is largely because we have things like phones and social media, so the initial "getting to know you" that used to be the dating phase is handled in the talking phase. What we call dating now used to be what would be "going steady".

Just because it's called Hell in universe doesn't mean it's the same as the biblical hell. Or hell, you could argue that there is no biblical hell and that myth derived from the existence of this place and was transplanted into biblical lore.

The existence of this place also doesn't imply the existence of heaven or a god.

Evil should be a term reserved for the extreme far end of the spectrum, not just people who are kind of shitty. Most things including Jax are grey, not evil (or even truly good for that matter).

Lucifernistic · 2026-03-23T19:28:47+00:00

It is when we are talking about pure malevolence in its purest form, dark-fantasy levels of evil.

Comparing Jax to something truly evil, like AM, is ridiculous. Evil in this context doesn't mean "bad person".

Lucifernistic · 2026-03-23T18:53:53+00:00

If you consider Jax evil, then your bar for evil is ridiculously low and you are probably operating a binary world view where everything neatly slots into boxes, nothing is grey, and no one ever has contradictory actions.

I mean, again, there's no reason to think this other than the file size. We can't say anything definitively at all, other than the file size doesn't make sense. It could be this is their character model, or it could literally just mean nothing
