You could say that about any two adjacent generations. Nuclear weapons are already 3 generations ago.

it was a typo i meant "generations" but this damn phone has a mind of its own

Can it count all 3 letter words in a paragraph? Can it average number of words inside parentheses in a paragraph?

I asked Qwen3 32b (with reasoning) to count all 3 letter words in your post. Its answer was:

  There are 3 three-letter words in the given text:

  "Can" (first instance)
  "all"
  "Can" (second instance)

Sounds about right.

Then I took this answer and asked to count the average number of words inside parentheses. The answer was:

  The average number of words in the parentheses from the given example is 2 words per parenthesis. 

  Here's the breakdown:
  1. "Can" (first instance): Parentheses contain "first instance" (2 words).
  2. "all": No parentheses, so excluded.
  3. "Can" (second instance): Parentheses contain "second instance" (2 words).

  Total words in parentheses: 2 + 2 = 4  
  Number of parentheses: 2  
  Average: 4 ÷ 2 = 2.

Correct again. Everything on the first try.

I'm still using a few JScript.NET Windows forms applications I wrote over 10 years ago. Works great. jsc.exe is still on every Windows machine, and makes it easy to write Javascript and compile to .exe or even .dlls.

Those problems aren't JS/HTML/CSS problems, they are bad programmer problems. If the performance of your webapp sucks, then you did something wrong somewhere, but it wasn't choosing JS/HTML/CSS that caused the problem. There are plenty of very performant web applications.

The amount of misconceptions in this comment are quite profound.

Copilot isn't an LLM, for a start. You _combine_ it wil a selection of LLMs. And it absolutely has severe limitations compared to something like Claude Code in how it can interact with the programming environment.

"Hallucinations" are far less of a problem with software that grounds the AI to the truth in your compiler, diagnostics, static analysis, a running copy of your project, runnning your tests, executing dev tools in your shell, etc.

>Copilot isn't an LLM, for a start

You're being overly pedantic here and moving goalposts. Copilot (for coding) without an LLM is pretty useless.

I stand by my assertion that these tools are all basically the same fundamental tech - LLMs.

> I stand by my assertion that these tools are all basically the same fundamental tech - LLMs.

Over generalizing. The synergy between the LLM and the client (cursor, Claude code, copilot, etc) make a huge difference in results.

This is like saying every web app is basically the same fundamental tech - databases.

Or that writing Python with notepad.exe and Jupyter are fundamentally the same.

The Keystone holders are nice but expensive, but they do not fit most protected 18650 cells, and I don't like the PCB mounting options.

I designed my own 3D printed 18650 holder for my project, including a positive battery tab cut-out to prevent reverse battery insertion. I get to decide how big the battery can be, and protected cells are 100% the way to go.

I've never had a problem with a short with the protected cells, and my circuit also cuts off power to the load using a mosfet, if a short ever occurs. It's been working great for years.

Funny, I'm also going with a 3D printed 18650 battery module... for a lepton (FLIR) project.

Price is not the same as cost, and that price may get jacked up without much warning.

The price is what it is today because they are trying to become a dominant platform. It doesn't mean the price reflects what it actually costs to run.

I'd bet a lot of the $40 billion they got in March goes towards loss leaders.

We're still at the stage of which LLM lies the least (but they all do). So yeah, no different than audiophiles really.

>Meanwhile: yes they in fact have the best mainstream browser, and it's not even close.

You have lost all credibility. I mean, you had very little to begin with using a 5-day old Apple-shill account, but now you have zero.

Safari is the absolute worst browser, by far, approaching Internet Explorer levels of wtf. On iOS it implements touch gestures completely differently than other browsers, because Apple does what Apple wants - forcing developers to buy a real iPhone just to debug their shitty browser. Their lack of webAPIs is absolutely to push developers to their App store - and I know this first hand because I have a web app that works on every other browser but Safari due to its lack of APIs. So if I want to support apple, I have to pay them for the privilege to develop said app, as well as pay them to buy their hardware to develop and test the app. Fuck all of that. I don't have to do that for any other browser or platform.
