I tried to generate a streamlit dashboard with MACD, RSI, MA(200). 1:0 for qwen3 here.

qwen3-coder-30b 4-bit mlx took on the task w/o any hiccups with a fully working dashboard, graphs, and recent data fetched from yfinance.

gpt-oss-20b mxfp4's code had a missing datatime import and when fixed delivered a dashboard without any data and with starting date of Aug 2020. Having adjusted the date, the update methods did not work and displayed error messages.

for now, i wouldnt rank any model from openai in coding benchmarks, despite all the false messaging they are giving, almost every single model openai has launched even the high end o3 expensive models are absolutely monumentally horrible at coding tasks. So this is expected.

If its decent in other tasks, which i do find openai often being better than others at, then i think its a win, especially a win for the open source community that even AI labs that pionered the hype of Gen AI who didnt want to ever launch open models are now being forced to launch them. That is definitely a win, and not something that was certain before.

Because they want to have their cake and eat it too.

A fair pricing model would be token-based, so that a user can see for each query how much they cost, and only pay for what they actually used. But AI companies want a steady stream of income, and they want users to pay as much as possible, while using as little as possible. Therefore they ask for a monthly or even yearly price with an unknown number of tokens included, such that you will always pay more then with token-based payments.

you're right, about their intentions in the future. But right now, they are literally losing money every single time someone uses their product...

In most cases, atleast claude does for sure. So yea, for now, they're losing money anyways

Pakistan also has had an extremely powerful supreme court - though mostly acting on the behest of the military establishment. It has the same suo moto powers. It has over time effectively rewritten parts of the constitution, deposed prime ministers on the shoddiest base, forced the parliament to reverse parts of a constitutional amendment after it had passed almost unanimously. One supreme court justice raided a hospital at one point, to talk about acting like an executive. Though that might be over now after a recent constitutional amendment.

I am no legal historian, but I would assume this has something to do with how the British set up the courts.

Nope it’s not just power that builds decent stabilizing systems but how people/their culture use that power. India’s unusual supreme court stabilises it from executive overreach or other risks because its court judges control their own elections and are far more liberal than indian society or its politicians so it tends to use its extra powers to stabilize rather than compromise the system.

I do agree what you said shows the risk of such systems and powerful courts if created in a vacuum without considering who’ll control it.

Pakistan uses those powers to do the exact opposite of what indian courts would ever do. Also it’s also because in pakistan military is an independent political actor that serves its own interest unlike in India where military is toothless and just operates on politicians diktats often literally at times instead of following intent.

Indian courts also cannot execute on its laws or fund its own budgets or laws. So even if it creates laws it only does ones it knows that parliament wouldn’t resist too heavily and will actually enforce it for them to avoid a constitutional crisis . Indian courts are deeply afraid of ruling parties especially if they have more authoritative leanings or are more organised.

In pakistan the military helps courts finance and execute on stuff superseding the parliament which is why it’s a corrupting force. In India , parliament under union home minister strongly controls over internal security matters and the police forces with prime minister and his cabinet controlling the military.

it’s not because of british court system, british never had such courts nor is it even a republic the british system is more similar to a constitutional monarchy with a powerful parliament.

India is a republic UK is a democratic constitutional monarchy hence it’s called a kingdom Pakistan is just run by the military most of the time and by elected leaders some of the time. so it’s a system that oscillates between dictatorship and majoritarian democracy (not a republic)

but yea supreme court cannot depose prime ministers in india. india set its own checks and balances out of pure fear of the consequences of what happened in pakistan. it still doesn’t fully trust its military to this day. out of fear of pakistan’s case and intentionally keeps regional ethnic regiments to avoid the military from ever unifying or working together.

> India is the origin of kamasutra texts after all and isn’t that sex negative as you might think ( it has the highest population for a reason)

I think you’re making a mistake here. It is completely possible to be appreciative of sex, and hate pornography. Even in the US, “Feminists Fighting Pornography” was a powerful cultural force for almost 2 decades.

Only in the Western world is “pro sex” = “pro pornography” in most people’s minds. Everywhere else, these are separate issues, with pornography bans actually being from a pro-sex cultural position (I.e. it shouldn’t be commoditized online).

I know for a fact they don’t hate pornography, i’ve been around their culture. They banned it because the judges felt like it.

There were no major protests to ban it, no government ongoing policy, nothing. It was just done because the court felt like it.

People were indifferent after that too, gov didn’t even comment, praise or shun the court. Life just went on and people just used vpns, gov doesn’t even care and doesn’t even enforce the ban outside of the 100 major urls and domain the supreme court itself decided and never revisited it.

India’s supreme court is extremely unusual compared to other countries, it’s as powerful as the executive branch if not more, the legislative branch have no say in electing supreme court judges the previous judges elect the next ones.

it just uses its power very sparingly out of fear that the legislative branch might come after their powers if they use them too much.

banning a few major porn sites, banning electoral bonds (india’s version of superpac), creating new right to privacy laws without consulting the parliament (because the court feared gov isn’t taking digital privacy seriously enough), legalise lgbt rights without any parliament input as it felt it needed to protect those citizens freedoms and rights to self identify and form their own families with legal protection.

are some places where the court has used its ultimate powers

I personally like India’s supreme courts, they are partially the reason why india is relatively stable compared to other south asian nations. Overall they use their super powers extremely responsibly and sparingly. Accounting for both political environment and balancing it against the long term interest of the nation’s citizens

People seem to forget that most countries aren’t down with “adult content.” Japan famously has censorship; while it’s outright illegal and censored online in India, Russia, China, and no shortage of other countries. It’s illegal on both sides of conflicts - like Russia and Ukraine (possession in Ukraine by itself is grounds for up to 3 years in prison). Some countries like Australia permit it, but “extreme” content (aka anything not “vanilla”) is technically illegal regardless of the age of the viewer. This is also not necessarily based on religion: China is officially atheist, Vietnam is as well, but both will put you in prison for importing it. Ironically, it is post-Christian countries that are most tolerant.

From the global stage, America is not some overly puritanical country while everyone else goes along without religious purity concerns. The big view is that the majority of countries censor it or ban it, even democratic ones, with no religious motive required. The Western world is the exception, but that’s changing in the UK, Australia, and now the US with age gating, payment processor refusal, or other restrictions.

India’s ban wasn’t legislative, it was done by the supreme court.

It has one of the most weirdest and also defacto the most powerful supreme court globally by authority.

It can pursue its own laws, legislate them, overturn even laws passed by supermajority in parliament if it doesn’t agree with it and thinks it’s not what original constitution makers would’ve wanted.

The Court can take up cases on its own (suo motu) without any petition being filed. This allows it to respond to media reports, letters, or social issues — an almost unheard-of power in most democracies.

I don’t think indian society or gov should be blamed for banning adult content, supreme court by itself passed the law and gov didn’t wanna contest it as they didn’t feel the point to spend political capital to reverse it.

India is the origin of kamasutra texts after all and isn’t that sex negative as you might think ( it has the highest population for a reason)

> Aside from some lip service paid about "common prosperity", China definitely does not have a strong wealth redistribution system

I don't think this does your argument any favors because by your words, it didn't work. Because you're right, China's "let a few people get rich" idea led to massive wealth inequality but redistribution was always at the center of the idea and what I'm talking about are recent reforms that Xi is taking to accelerate that redistribution such as and introducing salary caps, increasing taxes, and creating more social security programs the rich have to pay into. So China is right now building their strong wealth redistribution network.

and its gdp growth, prosperity, and investment rate going down at an exactly same rate…

Does that change your opinion on any of this?
teitoklien · a month ago
No, still doesn’t change what’s true and is reality.

its unfortunate left wing bias in mainstream media has atrophied the ability for any reliable news media to exist with extensive coverage and neutral reporting. (not unique to the left, right wing actors can do just the same it’s just right now left leaning political actors control most of legacy mainstream media)

Foreign actors are definitely taking advantage of that to fuel tensions as much as they can. Doesnt change reality tho.

That UK has a severe free speech issue and two tier policing, one for native brits(the lower tier) and one for politicians and favoured religious vote banks.

What texts?
teitoklien · a month ago
you’re courses you speak of.

you’ll need it for consoling if most people dont wake up and realise that the masses are slowly losing all of their freedoms from both the extreme left and extreme right in democracies globally.

Democratic backsliding is a fact that’s happening in all major countries. No media literacy course will save us all from it, if we don’t call out these issues and make it unpopular to do these things by governments.
