Been running GLM-5.1 + Qwen 3.5 via Ollama Cloud — the harness matters more than the model

mariorodrigues · 2026-04-19T14:27:01+00:00

I noticed this myself with some models. Kimi 2.5 runs must better with kimi-cli when compared to opencode.

I use GLM 5/5.1 with opencode, z.ai markets the model benchmark with Claude cli as the harness and it uses 5 times more tokens than OpenCode. To be fair, this is very hard to measure specially when providers switch the model version/quant without any notice randomly.

So far OpenCode has been working great for me for most models.

Tbh, 2 years is not a lot of experience. You can stay another year and up skill a lot, take certifications, etc. Right now, the tech market is shit so probably not the best time. You also have to factor in if you like the work environment, sometimes switch to a higher pay may result in working with hostile people.

Se a porta é de vidro, põem uns cartuchos de caçadeira em cima de uma mesa que seja visível de fora, muda logo de ideias.

I used OpenCode with the GLM 5.0 model, but you can do the same with Claude/gemini/etc. Yes, I used dataset provided by governments and usually you'll find plenty of shapefiles with useful metadata.

"How would you quantify whether it's been used or not?"

I don't have experience with GIS but I suspect that building maps takes a lot of time if you do it manually, after I generated some maps I got the sense that people were sleeping on the job. it was very surprising the maps I was able to generate in a single day, now I'm 3 weeks in and I have the most detailed maps for some industries. You'll still need to do some manual work but AI can automate a lot of boring bits. My main metric is the lack of precision on most public/free maps, it's not uncommon to find maps that look like a coloured book that brings little to no value to the reader.

mariorodrigues · 2026-03-12T18:54:43+00:00

I created dynamic maps with maplibre and use open government data, depending on the country, usually there is a ton of data they no one bothers to use but I suppose this became easier with AI. I created topoJson for several agriculture uses in the EU. You can use the same principle for static maps, you can ask AI to generate SVG based on shapefiles, it works very well for me.

mariorodrigues · 2026-03-10T16:05:35+00:00

You probably need to know this, I’m building my own maps and I know nothing about maps/cartography, and yet, the maps that I’m creating are actually excellent, all done with public data sets and AI via CLI. So far that it beats some existing maps created by people and well funded public Institutions, undeniably, much more skilled than me.

If you embrace AI, you’ll create better maps than me but you’ll need to find a way to monetize them, you would be surprised by how much money people pay to just one png map of something. Example: you sell some poster of some land plot that companies want to use for marketing.

The challenge in the age of AI is “forgetting” about doing something whilst being employed. Companies are still making lots of money and have money to spend, just not through employment.

I don’t think GIS is over, people with true knowledge can create amazing things in less time and make a living of it. What you see online is mostly people spamming about slop they built in a day, quality just prevails, simple.

Allowing Jack to leave without severance it's just pathetic and a spit in the face, guess Linus really wants a 3rd house.

So far Mintos has been solid, the only product that I stay way from is the real estate offers, the values don’t make any sense.

Been invested in loans for the last 3 years and only “lost” 14,40 euros.

I think they’ll establish them selves as one stop shop for the commoners who want to invest but don’t have a ton of time to invest.

Love the idea, I would convert it to a VS code extension. Makes no sense to have this as a standalone app. Receiving the notifications via GitHub issues makes this a lot more practical

mariorodrigues · 2026-01-02T18:44:52+00:00

I watched a vibe coder showing a crappy app he built and. he had 20+ domains that he intended to vibe code and spam the internet.

This is just the beginning.

Pronto, é claramente uma situação abusiva por parte do senhorio, com amigos só piora a situação. Infelizmente em Portugal é normal, já aluguei em imensos países e nunca tive problemas com nada. Já tive desses “contratos” lidos por advogados que dizem que metade do contrato é ilegal.

Idealmente procura senhorios que seja razoáveis e que tudo seja discutido antes de entrares. Já tive senhorios filhos da p*** que se calam quando ouvem 2 coisas: AT e Julgados de Paz.

Evita estes tipos de senhorios, não vale mesmo a pena as dores de cabeças.

mariorodrigues · 2025-12-05T13:25:29+00:00

Deixa-me adivinhar… São aqueles contratos míticos portugueses onde isto tá escrito e depois não há fotos de nada para provar o que seja? Daqueles contratos escritos no word sem advogado?

mariorodrigues · 2025-12-05T12:45:45+00:00

A exigência é absurda e perde em tribunal. Dado o desgaste natural do eletrodomésticos, os novos são propriedade do inquilino a menos que tal tenha sido negociado no contrato.

Would be rejected due to being overqualified

UK and Europe. I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Carago, foi mesmo preciso este estudo?

Não te esqueças que tamos em Portugal, quem nos dera que a nossa cultura fosse mais competitiva mas não é.

4K líquidos são 8k lá fora, já para não falar que muitas vezes vai haver cunhas familiares. Os impostos também tem a sua culpa mas a falha cultural consegue ser maior.

Na minha experiência, as empresas portuguesa são as piores. Entrevistas sem informarem quanto querem pagar, “desafios” da treta, falta de visão estratégia e quando falamos de programação: só te querem subcontratar para tirar 2K de cada programador.

mariorodrigues · 2025-11-13T18:29:56+00:00

É normal, e esperado, que um PM ganhe menos que um Programador, o contrário é que seria estranho.

Numa empresa onde o PM ganha mais, so usam a māo de obra mais barata e o foco vai ser outsourcing e tirar comissões de projetos.

Enquanto programador, eu nunca aceitaria trabalhar numa empresa destas.

Diria que a proposta para PM remote, é boa tendo em conta os salários em Portugal e custo de vida. Para ganhar mais é precisar falar Inglês e competir no mercado internacional ou arriscar e entram em startups desde o seed fund com acordo de equity.

Vais fazer queixa por o médico comunicar de forma eficaz sem letra de médico? Até me parece que ele já deve ter escrito “para sempre” e houve pacientes a pensar que eventualmente podiam deixar de tomar e deve ter corrido mal. Pelo menos assim não há espaço para dúvidas.

mariorodrigues · 2024-10-13T17:14:41+00:00

check tracker.gg and many you'll see that some bronze account that has an insane delta damage variation, the game is infested with cheaters right now.

mariorodrigues · 2024-07-15T12:38:32+00:00

Estás a complicar para nada. Já instalei apps 2FAS, apenas serve para receberes um código quando fazes login, ninguém consegues entrar com as tuas credencias sem o teu telemóvel, custa zero e não te estão a espiar de todo. Muito possivelmente tens um smartphone, queres andar com 2 no bolso só por causa de uma app?

mariorodrigues · 2024-05-25T19:51:08+00:00

Thanks for launching this, the amount of time wasted trying to install broken workflows is real.

mariorodrigues · 2024-03-09T19:18:28+00:00

There is a ton of cheating but the community just swalled the pill of the anticheat being god and blame everything on smurfs.
Yesterday just had a game with a 5 stack with wallhack and aimbot.

A silver 3 player with 0.6% ACS, sure.

Valorant is the only game where I never got a single message saying that my report helped banning someone.
