Extremely useful for me at work, thought I'd share: One 53 KB PowerShell file, 0 dependencies. Designed by Opus 5, two passes of bug fixes with GPT 5.6 Terra and Kimi k3 at max reasoning effort.


For some reason this page exists only in French, but it says a lot about the credibility of the ADL: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Defamation_League#Controv...


Where does this "10x" comes from?


Every "other" provider other than deepseek on openrouter (or elsewhere) is charging at the very least 10x for cached input tokens... and in agentic coding, that is where the 90%+ of the costs from from... that means with these providers, your costs will jump by 10x or more.

FTFY: Starting July 20 Claude Fable 5 will ve excluded from Pro plans.



Wouldn't you say that Valve is an exception to that rule?


Valve is just hedging against Microsoft having a big red button to kill Steam. They've built their kingdom on top of Microsoft, and Microsoft would love to have it for themselves I'm sure. It's in Valve's best interest to divorce themselves from Windows to protect themselves from Microsoft.

It happens to also benefit the Linux gaming crowd, but it's still ultimately self-interest driving the work. The engineers doing the work are probably doing it for the altruistic reasons, but ultimately Valve is writing the cheques.


No, I think Valve prioritizing an open platform independent of Microsoft aligns with their business goals.

They’re doing it in a manner that has broad benefits, but it’s definitely a win-win situation.


Sure, but Qualcomm upstreaming their support to mainline would also have broad benefits for them and be a win-win. Their C-suits & bean counters are seemingly just not getting that themselves nor having anyone that knows that high enough the hierachy...


Qualcomm aims to sue and monopolize so no sharing is caring for them. They want control.


Not at all, they don't want to pay for Windows licenses, as seen there is very little incentive to actually support native Linux games.

Additionally they want to prevent losing Steam content to Windows Store or XBox PC App.

If they could get Windows source at zero cost, like the Netbook OEMs did in the early days, they would quickly forget about Linux.

Additionally, don't forget current Valve's management doesn't live forever like any of us, and who knows what will happen to Valve afterwards.


What makes Valve great at the moment is that their business interest often aligns with ours (e.g. on the Linux support front). Which is great, don't get me wrong. But that's still beneficial for the company.


It's in Valve's interest to have their own OS and not rely on a rival's platform. Especially a rival that has proven many times they WILL abuse their power.


Any source to backup this claim, pretty please?


Source? There are a countless number of providers serving open weight models for fun and profit.


If you're concerned about that do not give internet to your tv and use any kind of tv box instead (shield tv, apple tv, etc).


I wouldn't use Apple TV, Shield or other proprietary black boxes if you want a private setup. Linux on a mini-PC with Plasma Bigscreen, your own over-the-air antenna for local TV, VacuumTube for YT, and the high seas for other content.


with things like amazon's sidewalk you might not have any choice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Sidewalk


How long until they have built in cellular or use a mesh?


I'm certain there are a non-zero number of TVs that either attempt to auto-join popular wifi hotspots (xfinity/tmobile/starbucks/etc.) and/or have cellular connections for telemetry.

Thinking more on this I think a business opportunity in the future will be companies that design hardware stacks that can go in random appliances that can gather usage information in the name of telemetry.

I give it +/- 5 years before an OTS coffee maker at walmart phones home.


So that TV box can phone home instead of your smart TV? What's the point?


Use a TV box that doesn't phone home, obviously. Also, don't buy a smart TV but a monitor.


Different homes are being phoned. If that matters.


It's not. France: €0.149/kWh (~$0.175) US: ~$0.12–$0.14/kWh https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/France/electricity_prices...
