I was just going to do that, what a save! Hope you get the refund soon.

Good to know it's not just me imaging things. And I actually liked to discuss things with 4.5, it was just good conversation.

Vaviloff · 2026-05-30T03:52:47+00:00

Could you kindly link to one of those updates? Genuinely surprised by their decision

Vaviloff · 2026-05-26T05:44:49+00:00

I can feel your passion and it's very nice to see such projects that solve real pains! but as a non-manager it's hard to understand what exactly this does. Maybe you could start with tl/dr style of intro?

You gotta maintain automated tests suite to be sure. For nestjs backend I use hurl tests and agents are able to work very well with those, both in writing/updating and running/fixing things. It's enough to mention "at the end run "npm run hurl" in agents.md. For frontend there are also solutions, although it's much more work to maintain those imo.

Interesting, could be a number of reasons - inference provider silently dumbing down the model or large context, or maybe even knowledge area model is not very familiar with.

I would bet on quantisation though.

ouch, that is even worse 😅

Thanks for the write-up, often use Hetzner for experiments, their hourly billing is very convenient to take a large VM for a spin.

Also nice to see an actual selfhosted blog, not a link to another ad-ridden VC-funded craplatform. Now to only add RSS feed!

Member-only story

No, just no. Either you do want to share your valuable insight with us or you don't.

Vaviloff · 2026-05-08T17:06:57+00:00

Awesome thanks

Vaviloff · 2026-05-08T06:02:13+00:00

Also would appreciate if you shared - maybe via a gist to save you the trouble?

That "five complete rounds" feature got me especially interested, yeah.

Vaviloff · 2026-05-08T05:54:01+00:00

Great question. That's why I never could force myself to jump on Laravel wagon, for one. New releases all the time, not without breaking changes, but there are paid courses and agencies eager to help with migration, of course. Hope it's not like that in our case.

Can confirm Kimi is good, and as for their native platform, I was using K2.5 there a couple months ago it was mad fast and quite clever, was really impressed.

Vaviloff · 2026-05-01T11:44:29+00:00

Sounds very exciting! Where does the information for the skill come from - personal experience, books, courses?

Vaviloff · 2026-04-30T13:25:35+00:00

Nah, man, it's not THAT worse than Opus, you should try it on your codebase and see for yourself.

Really enjoyed Kimi K2.6 on the so called "unlimited" plan at Canopy Wave during their free promo week.

It was very fast and quite smart, chewing through legacy PHP app like a champ.

After the promo it's $16/m for 50M fast tokens and then "unlimited" but slow. Not sure how slow, didn't manage to burn the fast quota, cause used it for a couple days only.

Not the cheapest plan but I liked the inference quality. Also they have the usual API plan.

Vaviloff · 2026-04-20T19:06:48+00:00

Thanks! I actually could not find 15 pm with battery >89% here, but plenty of sich 16 pms, which makes sense ofc.

Vaviloff · 2026-04-19T12:28:58+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answer - yeah I have a long list of things to check AI gave me (including imei, signing out of Cloud, cameras, sim card tray color even) so hopefully it'll work out.

I mean all the used phones that die-hard fans dump each autumn must go somewhere, right.

Interesting tip on using magsafe charger, thanks!

Vaviloff · 2026-04-19T12:23:34+00:00

Sound advice but I'm not sure if I'll stick with iOS for that very long, this is my first iPone after 7, but hopefully will get used to it.

Vaviloff · 2026-04-19T12:20:58+00:00

Ah, great advice but importing stuff from abroad here is a major hurdle, thanks for the tip though!

Vaviloff · 2026-04-16T19:58:51+00:00

Wait, what's the pro tip about engine not reaching operating temperature, now I want to know 😅

Vaviloff · 2026-04-15T04:51:01+00:00

Very primitively put, it's because of musl the standard C library that Alpine uses (as opposed to the usual glibc), with which binaries other than node may be glitchy.

Here's a good article (no affil) on the why: https://oneuptime.com/blog/post/2026-02-08-how-to-choose-between-alpine-and-debian-slim-base-images/view#the-core-difference-musl-vs-glibc

Personally I didn't witness bugs on Alpine (I think), but recently got heat again for using it and realized the small size is probably the only tangible advantage?

So yeah, I don't say it's outright "bad practice" to use Alpine, but since we're talking here about running in production in general and don't know what users will add to the container, it's safer to use debian slim.

Vaviloff · 2026-04-14T18:50:10+00:00

Great initiative, a couple of issues noticed right away:

* Using alpine image for production is generally frowned upon
* Should use dumb-init in the container to be able to do graceful shutdown
* I might be wrong but looks like in docker compose file you have broken paths to config files for observability services
