I haven't actually paid for Apple TV in some time but I remember thinking it had the worst interface of any streamer I've tried. Impossible to know which show card you had selected.
Prime's app is ridiculously bad imo. I'm not sure why that is, but everything is slower and takes more clicks and digging than similar apps on the same device. There are also significantly more ads than on Disney+ or Netflix ad tiers.
I find that Netflix and Paramount+ are the American services that offer the best app experience on my (very low-end) smart TV.
How so? I have 1 bank account with a local credit union and I have never logged into any of the online stuff. What do you take issue with, specifically?
KOReader is awesome and it's my go to for most e-reader reading. I've recently been trying out Plato (https://github.com/baskerville/plato) as well and it has a really nice experience for reading PDFs. It crops the margins and pages through the PDF in chunks nicely.
I don't really understand this trope and I grew up in a tiny town. Why not start a band or make movies with your friends? Build model airplanes, explore some creeks or forests. Not to say I didn't smoke and drink as well but why should that be more likely to be one's outlet in a small town with few commercial consumer experiences?
All of that is a lot harder to do if you have to start from first principles because you have no place to look up how its done or talk to others who are already doing it.
Modern cars are such enshittified garbage. I was in a modern Toyota recently and every time you start it, the screen shows a "Guest mode activated" that you need to explicitly dismiss. The only way to disable this is to install some stupid Toyota app which I would never install. Then you dismiss the popup and the home screen is "Experience Drive Connect" which is some stupid Toyota subscription which I would never subscribe to. What a piece of garbage. I'd probably just disconnect the whole screen entirely.
Tell the dealer you won't buy unless they disable all that garbage. They may say they can't, and if they let you walk out maybe they really can't. Then ask them for a discount so you can replace the head unit with one that doesn't spy on you.
This is actually mostly impossible these days, there is no "head unit" like cars had a couple decades ago, and the infotainment systems are integrated with all the other computer systems in the car. Disabling anything is difficult and will affect the car's functionality.
This is how toyota and VW comply with legal requirements and regulations. Same reason why you cannot disable many Assistent functions permanently, they always come back. Because to get high NCAP scores, the functions must be activated.
Yeah GLM-5 has been pretty impressive when it works but the z.ai plan is unbearably slow most of the time to the point where it's effectively unusable.
I had a very productive useful day, but was working on ~8 things at once.
I guess I do prefer slow but better than fast but ok. GLM-4.6 was pretty alright, but I had a hard time trusting it, felt like it took a lot of my time in any trickier area.
Now yes the time to first token is being somewhat brutal. Its hard to wait for. But damn is the output just so much better. It's so much better about really digging in to reference materials, is more aggressively seeing the lay of the land, and the output quality is so much higher.
It sucks, yes, is definitely a bit annoying especially when compared to how fast so many other services are. But I still will say, I treasure that step up in output enough that I would absolutely not go back, if this is just how it is now. On the net the trust ability I have here now with GLM-5 makes that generally a pretty easy tradeoff for me!
I should probably try adding a Flash model to my OpenCode though!! Cause sometimes I just need the thing done and it's not hard!!!!
Is this a common pattern to have an agent request a sandbox? I feel like I'd want the whole agent running in it's own sandbox to begin with. Firecracker does look like a decent solution for that.
When I started to design the system, I thought of creating a way for an agent on the cloud to have access to a filesystem, such that they can read, write files and run commands. I can't really say that the startups in the space's main source of income is this, most of them rely on sdks for other platforms. I could adjust the core to work as a sdk as well, but right now the main interface is just a mcp server that a client can use
This sounds great. What magazines do you recommend?
