>homogenous country

Tell me you know nothing about Switzerland without telling me you know nothing about Switzerland. Try asking a German Swiss what they think about a French Swiss or either about the Romansch.


I wonder if there is some sort of metric for classifying how similar cultures are to one another. Are e.g. German Swiss more dissimilar to French Swiss, than are Florida rednecks dissimilar to Compton gangsters?

I’m not even talking about the languages, we have 20% immigrants in the population, and an even larger part has foreign roots.

We also don’t have weapons in every household, if we’re talking myths


> We also don’t have weapons in every household, if we’re talking myths

It all depends if you did your military service (which implies that you're swiss) and if you didn't decide to drop out of it or deemed as unfit. I don't think it's a myth really, it just happens to be that a lot of people don't do their military service and thus don't have to keep a weapon at home


You’re right about the source of the weapons wrong about how many there are. An estimated one in five household has firearms, with a significant percentage not having ammunition at home at all.

  > I’m not even talking about the languages, we have 20% immigrants in the population, and an even larger part has foreign roots.
Both LA and Miami speak Spanish, no?

  > We also don’t have weapons in every household, if we’re talking myths
Only the Republicans have weapons in every household?

I'm joking, I realise that you are Swiss, but until I looked at the username I wasn't sure which side of the comparison you were referring to. Goes to show that even the nations' stereotypes are not dissimilar!


HN layout got the best of me haha.

If you ever heard them talk about each other, you would definitely assume as much.

Bacurau is one of the best movies I’ve seen in recent memory and Pictures of Ghosts tells an amazing story about the history of Recife’s relationship to cinema.


Unfortunately, this looks to only cover the larger MoE models. I imagine the smaller models are what most people would target. 9B just dropped two days ago, so not surprised it’s not explicitly documented, but does use a hybrid mamba architecture that I expect needs some special consideration.


Ireland’s affordability problems are almost exclusively centered around its housing crisis and they need to just commit themselves to over-supply induced wealth destruction for the landlord class and older generations. Thankfully, there demographics also support such a move.


I tested this pretty extensively and it has a common failure mode that prevents me from using: extracting footnotes and similar from the full text of academic works. For some reason, many of these models are trained in a way that results in these being excluded, despite these document sections often containing import details and context. Both versions of DeepseekOCR have the same problem. Of the others I’ve tested, dot-ocr in layout mode works best (but is slow) and then datalab’s chandra model (which is larger and has bad license constraints).


I can get multiple sets of footnotes (critical + content notes) reliably recognized and categorized using gemini-3-flash-preview. I took 15-20 hours to iterate on my prompt for a specific format. Otherwise it would not produce good enough results. It was a slow process because results from batch did not mirror what I was getting from the chat mode, and you have to wait for batch results while analyzing the last set. There was also a bit of debugging of the batch protocol going on at the same time. Flash is also surprisingly affordable for the results I am getting, 4-5x less than I had anticipated. I gave up on gemini-3-pro pretty quickly because it overthinks and messes things up.


I have been looking for an OCR model that can accurately handle footnotes. It’s essential for processing legal texts in particular, which often have footnotes that break across pages. Sadly I’ve yet to encounter a good solution.


I found Mathpix to be quite good with this type of documents, including footnotes but to be fair my documents did not have that many. It’s also proprietary.


Yeah, do crons even work consistently for GitHub Actions? I tried to set one up the other day and it just randomly skipped runs. There were some docs that suggested they’re entirely unreliable as well.

FYFY


Yeah the level of depraved code I've had contractors ask me to review... I don't think people realize how low the bar is.


Everyone who tells the story of the reformation leaves out that Martin Luther also used this new technology to widely disseminate his deranged anti-Semitic lies and conspiracies, leading to pogroms against Jews, a hundred years of war across Europe, and providing the ideological basis for the rise of Nazism.


You're right that later in his life he spread antisemitism and other terrible opinions as he was extremely elitist towards the peasantry. Definitely not a fan of that sort of thing.

But I didn't want to make a value judgement about Martin Luther's ideological legacy, but wanted to introduce some nuance into the narrative about disruptive innovation.


Tried this the other day and the setup on this is super cumbersome and requires you to constantly rebuild your entire dev and Claude Code environment every time you use a new container, including whitelisting URLs for package managers and the like.


There are techniques to mitigate this. You can reuse containers instead of creating a new one each time. You can mount in directories (like ~/.claude) from your local machine so you dont have to set claude up each time.


I use agents in a container and persist their config like you suggest. After seeing some interest I shared my setup at https://github.com/asfaload/agents_container It works fine for me on Linux.


This is lame, but always remember that OpenAlex exists and is completely free:
