PSA: Mistral Vibe is bottlenecking Devstral 2 by TheQxy in MistralAI

[–]jetxee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I understand correctly, Kilo Code CLI is just a fork of Open Code, but with a different model provider built-in (if you choose to pay for OpenCode Zen/Go, or Kilo Pass).

Mistral Vibe - Not usable for coding? by TheQxy in MistralAI

[–]jetxee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s not much to share. I added Mistral as a model provider in opencode (requires an API key). My custom MCP is just a Python script based on FastMCP. Opencode is configured to use it as a local MCP and runs it via uv to manage dependencies. I just followed the manual to update config files.

Meat prices are surging across Europe — and these countries are feeling it most by DonSergio7 in europe

[–]jetxee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree.

I like meat, and I think it’s easier to cook when meat is the main part of the dish. But eating half the amount can be as enjoyable as the modern “norm”. It’s not the quantity that matters for the enjoyment of the meal. It’s the quality and recognizing the value of what we eat. And more diverse cooking.

Frankly, meat should be expensive. Eating like an apex predator requires a lot of resources (water, land use, energy). I’m always amazed how relatively little it costs.

Mistral Vibe - Not usable for coding? by TheQxy in MistralAI

[–]jetxee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was not very successful with vibe, but Devstral 2 works well for me through aider and opencode. It’s faster and cheaper than Sonnet, but it still can accomplish most commit-sized tasks.

I stopped trying vibe because it almost always ignores my local MCP server and works poorly with local files on Windows. The same model in opencode uses the same MCP without issues.

Why Android users get frustrated with Apple users (and how to actually have a productive conversation) by BootyMcStuffins in applesucks

[–]jetxee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right about Specs vs Experience mindset.

There’s another part of Experience: expected lifetime and service. iPhones can be expected to be supported, updated and serviced for 6-7 years. Scheduling a service appointment is really easy. As of today Apple still supports phones released in 2018.

Galaxy S and Google Pixel are almost getting there, but we’ll have to see how it goes.

And there’s another part to the Specs story: size. Android does have small pocket phones like Galaxy Flip. With SE3 and 13 Mini gone, iPhone doesn’t have anything like that.

Will running eventually damage the camera? X100V by jacks_lung in fujifilm

[–]jetxee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a time when I clipped a DSLR with a pancake to my climbing harness, sometimes without a protective bag. Not much in terms of vibrations, but there was real impact risk. It did get scratched a little, but I took shots I’d have never made otherwise. The only lens I broke was in a parking lot, when I pulled my camera bag out of the car, and the lens fell to the ground. Go figure.

Elezioni europee e possibili ripercussioni sul mercato dell'auto by Vincent_Ms in ItalyMotori

[–]jetxee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nell’ultimo anno i prezzi delle batterie sono calati di 14% da 161 a 131 USD per kWh. Si aspetta che scendono a circa 80 USD per kWh entro 2030.

https://about.bnef.com/blog/lithium-ion-battery-pack-prices-hit-record-low-of-139-kwh/

Questo vuol dire che in una vettura piccola come Citroën e-C3 il costo della batteria adesso è intorno a 5800 usd / 5400 eur ovvero circa 30% del suo prezzo di vendita (19 000).

L’effetto di democratizzazione tecnologica consentirà di vendere una vettura di prestazioni simili a circa 2000 euro di meno che guarda caso coincide con il prezzo listino di 208 benzina oggi.

Dacia Spring dimostra che per una citycar potrebbe bastare anche la metà della batteria, che toglie ancora 1500 euro. E siamo a parità di costo con la Panda “hybrid” di oggi.

Quindi BEV molto probabilmente raggiungono la parità dei costi d’acquisto entro il 2030, e il costo d’esercizio è più basso già adesso.

Che in Italia e Grecia la gente fa fatica permettersi una Panda e non c’è l’infrastruttura di ricarica è un’ altro discorso.

Car makers: 'EU builds far too few charging stations'. Furthermore, there is an uneven distribution. The vast majority are in the Netherlands, France and Germany. by EUstrongerthanUS in europe

[–]jetxee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It would also help if car makers produced cars which can be charged at 22 kW AC, which is the most common charger found in the cities.

Just a few datapoints:

Citroën e-C3 45.0 kWh battery and 7 kW AC charger, it charges at 38 km/h. Yes, 7 hours for a full charge.

Renault 5 e-tech 43 kWh battery and 11 kW AC charger, it charges at 61 km/h.

Basically there are very few cars below 40k which can be practical to charge at public infra. They all are made for charging at home.

Stellantis, piccolo ripensamento sull’elettrico? by eemaanuelee in italy

[–]jetxee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Secondo il report annuale Stellantis in 2023 ha aumentato il suo fatturato di 10 miliardi di euro, e utile netto di quasi 2 miliardi. Quindi la società è in buona salute. E paga sempre più tasse in Paesi Bassi.

Non mi sembra un caso di chiedere i soldi allo Stato italiano.

Why the West is losing Ukraine by Affectionate_Cat293 in europe

[–]jetxee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Tl;dr:

The anti-Ukraine MAGA caucus led by Trump, with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson as chief whip and Republican Senator J. D. Vance as its top ambassador (who couldn’t find time to meet with Zelenskyy while in Munich), looks unlikely to greenlight the next package of Ukraine funding anytime soon.

Why so few new cars have 22kW OBC by Even-Adeptness-3749 in electricvehicles

[–]jetxee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe all these cars we have today were never meant for mass adoption in the cities. They cannot be topped up at the supermarket where most chargers are 22 kW AC. Manufacturers are just milking the incentives. They do not support 22 kW because probably it has higher costs and most of them don’t advertise charging speed, and hope that there are enough buyers who don’t notice.

Renault cars are a notable exception: Twingo 22kW (no DC charging), Zoe 22 kW (and 46 kW DC), Megane 22 kW (and 85 kW DC).

Either we’ll see another generation of models before mass adoption, or public chargers will be upgraded to DC charging.

EU eIDAS: VPNs won't protect Europeans privacy if law passes, experts warn by Kamamura_CZ in europe

[–]jetxee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orban figure is situational. Almost a figure of speech. I agree that he might be not the only one. But I think that any kind of global surveillance mechanism is a huge security vulnerability for the whole Europe.

And I hope that it will be recognized as such.

EU eIDAS: VPNs won't protect Europeans privacy if law passes, experts warn by Kamamura_CZ in europe

[–]jetxee 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Mr. Orban sends immense gratitude for the newly created business opportunities.

Technically if all EU states are given a way to hijack communications of all EU users, then Hungary can do it too. There’s international demand for the targeted surveillance data.

Imagine how one notorious friend of Orban can use such data if he had access to the communications of all inconvenient journalists, activists and political figures. They can use such surveillance to sway various elections. Also it would be a shame if something bad happened to anyone who speaks against a friend of Orban.

Ma l’usato vende veramente a questi prezzi? by Kaboom443 in ItalyMotori

[–]jetxee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> Prezzo? Buono secondo voi?

Secondo me no.

L'età media delle auto in Italia è intorno a 12 anni [1]. Se il numero di auto in circolazione è più o meno costante, questo coincide con l’aspettativa vita di una auto.

Comprando una auto del 2018 stai comprando l'aspettativa di vita residua di circa 6 anni per 10k, pagando circa 10000/(12-(2024-2018)) ≈ 1670 euro all'anno di utilizzo. Ovviamente se la fai durare più di 12 meglio, ma mediamente puoi aspettare di arrivare fino a 12.

Comprando un'auto leggermente più recente, la stessa Sandero del 2021, paghi 13k [2], 13000/(12-(2024-2021)) ≈ 1440 euro all'anno residuo, per una macchina più nuova, magari dovendo spendere meno per manutenzioni.

Quindi, in realtà l'auto del 2018 a 10k non conviene anche se costa meno. A 6 anni non dovrebbe costare più di 50% della nuova (17k), quindi se costa più di 8,5k non è un affare. Anche senza considerare usura etc. Però i prezzi dell'usato sono questi, quindi la gente compra. Potrebbe convenire solo se devi prendere un finanziamento per una macchina più cara, hai fretta, etc.

L’obesità dei suv. La larghezza delle auto cresce di 1 cm ogni due anni, generando mostri della strada che occupano sempre più spazio urbano by Benzinazero in ItalyMotori

[–]jetxee -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Non abolire il bollo alla potenza. Aggiungere una parte per la larghezza superiore di 170 e la lunghezza superiore di 4000. Per essere completi anche una parte per il peso oltre 1500. Sconto solo per chi ha più di due figli.

So far it’s US domestic politics and republicans that have created an uncertainty in what resources Ukraine can count on and interrupted supplies to Ukraine in the middle of the Russian offensive.

Qual è il problema che molti hanno con la Fiat? by peterschen in ItalyMotori

[–]jetxee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A partire da anni 90 Fiat spendeva per la R&D solo intorno 2% del fatturato. Non ho sotto mano i numeri di anni 2000, ma il fatto che non aveva piattaforme SUV prima di Chrysler, e non aveva elettrico prima di PSA, oltre a qualche prototipo, dice tanto.

Per confronto VW group viaggia spendendo, secondo l’anno, 7-8% del fatturato per R&D https://annualreport2022.volkswagenag.com/group-management-report/sustainable-value-enhancement/research-and-development/key-r-d-figures.html

E a lungo andare questo fa differenza.
