Why can someone from outside the US make my phone ring? Why can't I opt out of calls sourced internationally? Seems like an easy way to fix the problem. There is no reason for anyone overseas to call me, and if someone US-based does phone spamming, we can prosecute them.

You're right, it is an easy technical fix.

Mainland China lets people opt out of phone calls that come from outside of the Mainland...it's a feature one can turn off on an on their mobile plan.

Calls from outside the Mainland always cause a warning to pop up on the receiving user's phone that says something like "this call is coming from outside of the mainland, be careful of being scammed".

I can imagine there are many reasons the US doesn't fix this..one of which probably that much of US customer service is outsourced to people outside the US!

It’s a very smart move for DeepSeek to put out an Anthropic-compatible API, similar to Kimi-k2, GLM4.5 (Puzzled as to why Qwen didn’t do this). You can set up a simple function in your .zhsrc to run Claude-Code with these models:

Wow thanks! I just ran into my claude code session limit like an hour ago and tried the method you linked and added 10 CNY to a deepseek api account and an hour later i've got 7.77 CNY left and have used 3.3 million tokens.

I'm not confident enough to say it's as good as claude opus or even sonnet, but it seems not bad!

I did run into an api error when my context exceeded deepseek's 128k window and had to manually compact the context.

I must be in the minority, but I love the design.

I was skeptical at first but like it a lot after trying out the betas. It's all very intuitive if you've used visionOS before and the potential readability problems aren't really an issue in practice.

> and saved me close to $2k over the 4.5 months.

The author wisely talks about safety considerations, but there's an it's-expensive-to-be-poor risk I'd like to emphasize:

One injury or illness caused by the frugality could wipe out that $2K savings, many times over, in immediate costs, and might never fully heal.

I think back to all the penny-pinching I did (less impressive than the author's), and much of it was necessary under the circumstances, but a very poor value tradeoff otherwise.

If he was on a student visa in Hong Kong he was able to access public health care for close to free.

All Hong Kong residents are eligible (anyone with an HKID and permission to remain >= 180 days).

This used to be part of one of the intro to engineering courses at my school - write an XX page document describing how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
larrysalibra · 10 months ago
This was a homework assignment in my second grade class!

The next day we had to follow our instructions exactly in class to make the sandwich which was hilarious. A formative experience for me!

The article is from 2016. Did anyone find out if the restaurant is still open?
larrysalibra · a year ago
Yes, it’s still open.

10am to 9:30pm every day.

I must be missing something, but I tried Deepseek R1 via Kagi assistant and IMO it doesn't even come close to Claude?

I don't get the hype at all?

What am I doing wrong?

And of course if you ask it anything related to the CCP it will suddenly turn into a Pinokkio simulator.

larrysalibra · a year ago
I tried Deepseek R1 via Kagi assistant and it was much better than claude or gpt.

I asked for suggestions for rust libraries for a certain task and the suggestions from Deepseek were better.
