Kimi K2 is a really weird model, just in general.
It's not nearly as smart as Opus 4.5 or 5.2-Pro or whatever, but it has a very distinct writing style and also a much more direct "interpersonal" style. As a writer of very-short-form stuff like emails, it's probably the best model available right now. As a chatbot, it's the only one that seems to really relish calling you out on mistakes or nonsense, and it doesn't hesitate to be blunt with you.
I get the feeling that it was trained very differently from the other models, which makes it situationally useful even if it's not very good for data analysis or working through complex questions. For instance, as it's both a good prose stylist and very direct/blunt, it's an extremely good editor.
I like it enough that I actually pay for a Kimi subscription.
And given this, it unsurprisingly scores very well on https://eqbench.com

I agree with you on SSDs, that was the last upgrade that felt like flipping the “modern computer” switch overnight. Everything since has been incremental unless you’re doing ML or high-end gaming.
I thought so too on my mini PC. Then I got myself my current Mac mini M4 and I have to give it to Apple, or maybe in part to ARM... It was like another SSD moment. It's still not spun up the fan and run literally lukewarm at most my office, coding and photo work.

Which can be trivially mapped to directories for aliasing. Just like Linux.
Windows NT and UNIX are much more similar than many people realize; Windows NT just has a giant pile of Dos/Win9x compatibility baked on top hiding how great the core kernel design actually is.
I think this article demonstrates that very well.
Yeah, NTFS is quite capable. I mostly blame the Windows UI for being a bit too dumbed down and not advertising the capabilities well.

IMO the key problem that OpenAI have is that they are all-in on AGI. Unlike a Google, they don't have anything else of any value. If AGI is not possible, or is at least not in reach within the next decade or so, OpenAI will have a product in the form of AI models that have basically zero moat. They will be Netscape in a world where Microsoft is giving away Internet Explorer for free.
Meanwhile, Google would be perfectly fine. They can just integrate whatever improvements the actually existing AI models offer into their other products.
I've also thought of this and what's more, Google's platform provides them with training from YouTube, optimal backend access to the Google Search index for grounding from an engine they've honed for decades, training from their smartphones, smart home devices and TV's, Google Cloud... And as you say, also the reverse; empowering their services from said AI, too.
They can also run AI as a loss leader like with Antigravity.
Meanwhile, OpenAI looks like they're fumbling with that immediately controversial statement about allowing NSFW after adult verification, and that strange AI social network which mostly led to Sora memes outside of it.
I think they're going to need to do better. As for coding tools, Anthropic is an ever stronger contender there, if they weren't pressured from Google already.
I would understand this project much better on Windows, which:
1. Doesn't have an established WebKit browser, which 110% sucks due to issues with testing for Mac and iOS. This is a long standing issue.
2. Relies on a Chromium-based browser with its own integrity issues, as well as a Microsoft approach to telemetry.
I don't associate Safari nearly as much to neither invasive telemetry, tracking, or ads beyond those on the web, nor poor performance on Mac. In fact, I often find it excellent especially in terms of battery life, and Safari has integrated content blocking and tracking protections. Maybe not as powerful as here (?) but telling of Apple's approach to caring for this.
Edit: I saw there's work on Windows support. That's good news. IMHO, this browser should be Windows-first. It makes far more sense there to me. But maybe you like Mac more as a platform?
It's off by default and configurable for now, but it's obvious to me that MS wants to get to that sweet offline data to train on.
jug commented on GPT-5.1: A smarter, more conversational ChatGPT openai.com/index/gpt-5-1/... · Posted by u/tedsanders
I don’t want more conversational, I want more to the point. Less telling me how great my question is, less about being friendly, instead I want more cold, hard, accurate, direct, and factual results.
It’s a machine and a tool, not a person and definitely not my friend.
Use the "Efficient" persona in the ChatGPT settings. Formerly known as "Robot".
Creator of Zensical here! As always, it's a matter of taste. We felt the original look was a little date. You can use the classic Material for MkDocs look with Zensical by adding a single line of configuration[1]. This works because the HTML is exactly the same right now. Most users favor the new look over the old one.
I do think it's looking fine, and above all a cross between Android (Material 3 Expressive), Windows 11 'Fluent UX', and iOS which I think will make many feel right at home. This wasn't really the case with the "old" Material style.
I personally love Jetbrains Mono; it's been one of a kind for me and my tastes. I like it over Consolas (although this is one is pretty good on Windows), Fira Mono, Inconsolata, Plex Mono. But I can see the effort here and I'm definitely going to give this one a try! I've found that typefaces can change a lot depending on pixel alignment and rendering engines (i.e. ClearType, GDI, FreeType, Quartz... let pixel grid decide or not, or by how much...). So it's hard to tell if this is going to win me over without actually trying!
