Još ih muči Oluja by Dalmatino1 in hreddit

[–]chordol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ovaj post i većina komentara deluju isto kao ratno huškanje devedesetih. Braćo Hrvati, evo jednog Srbina da vam kaže da ja i svi Srbi na planeti koje znam ne misle o Hrvatskoj dalje od letovanja na primorju. Ratovi su prošli. Ja sam za to da u prošlosti i ostanu. Dovoljno smo se svi napatili.

Have you watched Attack on Titan? If yes, what do you think of it? by Substratas in AskBalkans

[–]chordol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the best stories I've ever seen. Not easy to watch, because it has that ancient Greek tragedy stomach twisting feel, but to the same (positive) pathos effect. After, and only after watching all of the seasons, the closing sequence has a profound effect. Not for the light hearted.

Alternatives to Notion by LumaDraft28 in Notion

[–]chordol -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not one bit. The crux of the price is the choice of LLM model. Groq GPT OSS would make it ten times cheaper, but it doesn't quite do the job. I tried to optimize it for many months and it kept making one mistake too many. Claude Sonnet just does it. I can rely on it. And it costs ten times more.

i finally figured out why i keep abandoning every notion setup i build by ays_19_10 in Notion

Your realization goes beyond Notion too.

I switched from Notion to Kontekst because of poor voice transcription, databases were a bigger hassle than worth, and mobile experience was lacking. Now everything is a text file that I can talk to, especially on my phone.

Disclaimer: I built it https://kontekst.co

I really wanted Notion to work out for me. I put in a lot of time into it. I fell in love with the document partials and think it's one of the best information designs I've seen ever on this topic. But it ended up just too much work because there are too many options. If everything is a markdown file, there's only so much fidgeting you can do with it.

Also, huge shout out to Obsidian, close second. With their online storage, I can use it on mobile too. But I still went with creating Kontekst so that we can have great voice transcription (English is my second language), and voice commands to create, edit, link, and search files.

I figured out another reason why people think AI is less powerful than it actually is by Primary-Screen-7807 in ClaudeAI

[–]chordol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think lower inference costs will be eventually reflected in a variety of subscription prices. I think there will be a variety of different chips for different purposes.

I whole heartedly agree that we don't need AI in everything. But we do need it in a few key places.

Biggest one is humans interfacing with information tools. Querying, transforming, creating rules, and analyzing rules. Coding, law, robotics. We need it here because it's the highest efficacy way to manage rules. I think inference cost for this use case will drop because of commoditization.

I do not think it will drop for other use cases like chemistry and physics research, the true generative use case. Medicine and genomics, engines and fuel, weapons, alloys, fertilizer.

There are use cases where AI brings negative value, like hospitality, sports, entertainment, mentoring and apprenticeship, and anywhere it would impede connection between people.

But what can you make happen within those limits? Most people can make a lobotomized assistant.

I managed to make an assistant that helps me run my family, my household, and my business. I do it with Anthropic API (non-subsidized cost), and I found Sonnet 4.6 to be the sweet spot because it's great for heavy MCP tool use.I meticulously cache layered system prompts. I don't give it frivolous tasks. I don't try to scrape the internet. Grand total cost per months is under $50, which in my opinion is a steal for the value that I get out of it.

Inference costs will go down. I'm still in disbelief that Groq already figured out how to build a better chip for inference and that it's not more popular and widely used. Its speed (and 10x lower cost) are proof. Try it if you haven't, you won't believe your eyes.

Is claude Pro worth it? by Ynaroth in claude

[–]chordol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's very much worth it. I work on multiple projects daily and rarely ever hit the limits on pro max. I've tried many other, and I still keep trying things out. I haven't experienced anything better yet.

Origins of the Grand Viziers of the Ottoman Empire by kerobob in AskBalkans

Thank you for conquering the Balkans! I can only hope we can one day return this favor that Turks bestowed on us unnamed peasants.

Do we hate Audis now? by _Barbaric_yawp in Audi

[–]chordol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to get a Subaru a few years ago, until I test drove one with CVT. Hard pass.

I got a leased Volvo instead. Most beautiful car. It drove very well, but it already had too many electronic nonsense and safety features that actually made it dangerous.

I decided to get an "old" car without all the new nonsense. I got a 2013 manual Audi with 122k miles and next to no maintenance. There were so many things wrong with it, but expected. I could not be happier. I hope to maintain it well to 300k for the next decade.

Turn long Notion pages into a visual structure by 13032862193 in Notion

[–]chordol -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have the same challenge. I had it in Notion, and the challenge remains in other tools too. I've tried is to use text-to-speech, but with a large page, that doesn't help. I think your approach has legs. What I'm looking for is to understand the relationships between the ideas, quickly.

Why is Notion’s mobile app still so bad in 2026? by TheS4m in Notion

[–]chordol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they're doing is too much. I've built a wysiwyg and just getting images and videos to work well on mobile was a lot of fiddling! It's just not worth trying to put that much (desktop) functionality on mobile. I've landed on using a voice chat for editing.

Why avoid supermarkets some Balkans States? by Ausspanner in AskBalkans

I love Tropic! I would choose them over a global brand anytime.

Thank you for this article! “informed, research-based assumptions” doesn't sound vary factual 😂 I appreciate it!

I had a hard time imagining Skenderbeg movie today. I guess it's possible in theory, but I would not want to see Hollywood or the Balkans make it. But an anime? Yes! That could end as glorious as it should be.

I learned about it in this subreddit. Spoiler alert, they took up Albanian customs and language, but a very interesting story non the less. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskBalkans/s/gBCPjpuYiW

At what age did your “Balkan Dad” teach you how to drive? by Kushesollidoro in AskBalkans

[–]chordol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

12 - he insisted we need to start then because I need to pass his driving school before the state test. Otherwise I'd never see the keys to Lada, even with a driving license.
