@decryption Kimi has a coding plan which is pretty good. K3 is a token pig. K2.6 is more efficient but not as capable.
GLM5.2 from z.ai is the sweet spot there.
I couldn't get OpenRouter to reliably use the coding plan though but you can configure both in OpenCode.
If you want a lighter harness, pi is good too.
@shermozle oh yeah, im just fucking around seeing what can be done with a few prompts - know your enemy etc

btw, Taco Bell voluntarily recalled their lettuce first bc they know they're always first under the gun with public health issues. Not bc of any track record. But because of, guess what, fucking racism!
(yes, Taco Bell is "not Mexican food". But 1) if you still think racists care about accuracy… and 2) of all the other purveyors on this list, it is the only company whose food is *always* treated like trash. It's classist and racialized.)

Also a new cafe has opened in my city. Locally owned, employees are lovely. The only hitch is that the owners refuse to serve tea and I am currently tempted to pop down there with my card table, tablecloth, tea pot, tea cups and set up on the footpath, enjoying a brew and a book in gentle protest.
Any suggestions to make my little tea party protest for one a bit more cosy or flamboyant. would be welcome.* 😂
*Please note this post is written in total good humour, not ire. The cafe is a huge asset to the city. I just wish they'd serve tea so I can enjoy it more. (But if they don't, that's totally their prerogative.)
@georgepenney politely invite the owners and the staff for a tea break. offer them a selection of teas to choose from.
U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to impose steep tariffs on generic medicines has unsettled Indian drugmakers and put the spotlight on their strategy in their biggest export market. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/07/23/markets/indian-drugmakers-trump-generics/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #india #pharmaceuticals #drugs #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs

We've reached the stage in the #ClimateEmergency where even CAMELS are dying from extreme heat. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqlxvvw06pqo
"In the last two years, we have seen a more than 15% increase in camel deaths in our county due to extreme heat."
The study included nearly 6,000 pastoral households and showed that the mortality was concentrated in northern regions, with Sool reporting a "staggering mortality rate of nearly 73%".

@randahl That looks like an AI picture. There’s something wrong with the contrast and dynamic range.
@teotwaki see explanation here
I got a book called “I am Legend” by Richard Matheson but got bored soon cause it reminded me of “Last man of Earth” and I didn’t really care for that movie #books
@farah Omega Man was the first version I saw.

Have a peaceful evening, as much as Theo had a peaceful afternoon asleep, basking in the sun.
@randahl That and the second image in your last post look AI generated. Where did the images come from? Have you verified the source?

Well, #AI is invading the #EmergencyManagement sector. I'm at a federal conference for emergency management and many folks, including #FEMA officials are spouting propaganda 😞 not totally surprised, just tired, grandpa
I seem to be making a lot of people here very angry lately.
I honestly have no idea if it's me or them or something in the water.
I'm sorry if I've offended you, whatever the reason. It wasn't my intent, for whatever that's worth. Communication is sometimes noisy, and misunderstanding can spiral out of proportion.
@mattblaze The Derp State has never forgiven you for sinking the Clipper Chip. (/s)
"Went rogue".
What the fuck is even wrong with these people.
