The amount of xenophobia, generally coming from very non-native, non-Cherokee or very non-Apache American individuals is absurd.

_Immigration is only cool as long as it's my favourite ethnic groups_ state of mind.

So what?

I despise such openly xenophobic posts.

And Indian immigration tends to be the most educated and wealthy. It's also the wealthiest ethnic group in the US. By far.

In any case, leaving Schengen for Switzerland would be de facto equivalent to Brexit, an economic disaster.

Switzerland thrives by attracting highly qualified professionals for it's service and manufacturing industries and yes, also at the lower end where Swiss nationals aren't lining up to be plumbers, couriers or cleaning staff.

The plumbers I had were all Swiss. There is not an overproportional amount of foreigners working in this profession.

Maybe they prefer living amongst themselves than make number go to the moon. If these guys are such GDP rocket fuel and a solution, they can make their own country the best in the world.

I visited few times and I like the country but I don't expect them to accept or cater to me.

Who's they?

> If these guys are such GDP rocket fuel and a solution, they can make their own country the best in the world.

Not every country in the world gives the same opportunities, it's only natural many motivated individuals may try their chances elsewhere, I see nothing wrong with it.

I'm an European and I have many grandparents and their relatives who emigrated to Argentina, US, Canada a century or so ago.

My parents left communist Poland for Italy in the 70s.

Many of my friends left Italy and now reside in the UK, Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia and some in the US too.

Overly xenophobic anti immigration stances don't resonate with me at all.

Immigration is a net benefit for humanity, it has had a huge impact on distributing human capital where it could best express it's talents.

Like everything it has its cons and regulations are needed. But none of those should be rooted on open racism.

IDK about Argentina, but the US, Australia and Canada went through the whole cycle post WWII. At first they opened up their borders because they were in need of workers. However, at some point, due to various factors, including rising anti-immigration sentiments, they retightened their immigration policies again. This all happened pre-1990s. And all of those are immigration countries, unlike countries in Europe.

Well the average person, when you exclude real estate, is neither worth nor has a million dollars, that is true.

But this kind of person isn't rare either, even in Italy or Poland where I live I know many multi millionaires.

Some are farmers, some have restaurants/hotels, some work remotely for US tech companies, some were early engineers in startups.

I feel like the distinction between static websites and SPAs has been lost in the last decade, despite it being in the name _single page application_.

The point of SPAs is not "it's more interactive than a static website is", but "I don't need to fetch the new page and wait it to load as I navigate". You can have any custom behavior just by adding JavaScript. That's something we have from 30+ years.

"applications" don't interrupt the user as you navigate, and we tried to replicate that on the browser, by having history and render JavaScript controlled.

Saving the world, 50ms at a time.

Honestly there are times when using the View Transition API makes sense, but the context here is a dinky brochure site. The weight of scripting does as much damage to first load as it saves on subsequent loads. Browsers are good enough at managing this stuff themselves.

While what you say is in general true, every model that followed Opus 4.6 on Anthropic side has been increasingly worse at what the previous user points out: they are extremely smart and can convince the user about major falsehood.

They are way too trained/reinforced on solving problems rather than assisting you, something on which they have becoming extremely bad at.

It's hard to explain because I too had the many moments where "Fable5 / Opus4.8 xhigh could solve bugs/stuff that previous models couldn't", I know that to be true, and they are very useful for that.

But 90% of my tasks are quite mundane and I need thorough investigation and a proper assistant. Not a smart bullshitter fixated on solving the issue itself. On that Opus 4.6 has been the last good model.

Anything after that is completely skewed towards passing benchmarks and E2E tasks, but definitely not assisting.

Fable in particular was a disaster on that, non stop being thorough on the fix it fixated on, writing nthousand experiments in /tmp, etc. Great model, not gonna lie, but only if your focus is vibe coding and you accept that you're nothing but an assistant and accept its shortcomings.

yeah, the "proactivity" of recent anthropic models and sophisticated bullshitting are bad, although my experience is that even on simple tasks i've never used a oss model that has consistently been better in terms of the quality of the result.

Especially now that you can likely throw the mobile conversion to an LLM and judge the feasibility of it's maintenance once it's done.

You can self host and get rid of the restriction.

They are?

They have pioneered and been very influential in different aspects of LLM engineering and research, while also publishing in the open.

You would not have Fable 5 as good as it is without Chinese work.

Fun fact, I was trying this afternoon Deepseek vs Opus 4.8 high, and I was surprised at how good Deepseek was. It outperformed Opus 4.8 on multiple occasions.

Found just later I was using v4 flash and not pro (for mistakenly setting the model to deepseek-chat and not v4-pro).

There are aspects about Deepseek I don't like though, when pushed against it will eagerly bend instead of reasoning and advocating for his points, something Opus 4.7 and later models started doing a lot (even when wrong).

US is well known to impose world wide embargoes on technologies and resources that they pretend to apply to companies beyond its borders.

And it works, because the American market is generally more important than the markets of these countries 9 times out of 10.
