> The funny thing about Anthropic haters is that they still mostly believe Anthropic’s marketing. They think Claude is a recursively self-improving silicon God, and that we are all a couple refusals away from falling into the perpetual underclass. This gives them way more power than they deserve.

What is the writer trying to say here?

> anthropic haters think claude is a ... god

who claims this?

Apart from that section, the conclusion is that knowledge workers will be cheaper. This is most likely correct. People who have deep knowledge are now cheaper to replace. That does not mean they're irreplacable, but it'se easier if you have someone with the cognitive ability

I can only talk about GLM 5.1 which is roughly at sonnet 4 levels imo.

It's good, does most tasks well that I throw at it, but will fail at anything congitive/complex. It gets stuck often. It costs ~6$ a month though

This was my experience using GLM 5.1 in Claude Code but it works far better in OpenCode, I’d really like to understand why. I think it’s a bit stronger than Sonnet 4.6.

I use the oh-my-openagent planning system and haven’t used vanilla OpenCode enough to know how much that is contributing.

The answer is easy, CC is bug for bug optimized for Anthropic models. They don't even test it with other models, let alone provide support for all small compatibility quirks of different provider implementations.

On the other hand, Opencode, Pi agent and other open source tool offer much better support for all models, including open source.

War is between governments. A bad actor might as well lie that they're not Russian. If anything this is a good thing. Lets not make war define who we work with

Hard disagree. The war has been at least tacitly supported by the majority of the Russian public (via enlistment, taxation or just acquiescence) and it's very explicitly being waged against the Ukrainian public (via killing, occupation, expropriation etc).

"Define who we work with" is basically the point of sanctions. Unless you think they're too robust too, and we should limit ourselves to strongly worded postcards?

Why not persist it through a query param? Or a lang param for that matter

Feels like maybe you're just noticing this because it defaults to Chinese. Is that true?

How many sites do this but you don't notice because they default to English?

You're right, there are probably lots of sites misconfigured to not respect language headers, but we don't notice because English is the default.

However, the right solution is still to use the language header. I send that to them, they should use it to give me the right one by default.

One of the funny things is that this whole site is in an iframe; which breaks both Google Translate, and the Firefox translate feature. If you check, the outer iframe seems to indicate `lang="en'` and loads the iframe with `src="/coder/index.html?lang=en"`, but the inner iframe still gets a `lang="zh-CN'` by default until you use the toggle.

If you go to the eventual redirect source of the page with `lang=en` parameter, you get a `lang="en"` attribute, but it's still in Chinese until you toggle it with the menu: https://mimo.xiaomi.com/coder?lang=en

Anyhow, yeah, lots of pages are probably broken this way but we don't notice. But still, it has that info from your request, it should use it.

But what if you have English configured as a preferred language? Isn't that what it's for? Wouldn't it make sense for a website to respect that (when available)? I hate that google.com doesn't and defaults to random languages based on IP.

Web standard often give great grounds to leverage on. Modern stacks often really poorly work with a lot its surface and reinvente half baked bespoke alternatives.

Personally, none, I’m not English native. I didn’t notice the locale switch, but mostly because the look of the website was so beautiful I didn’t pay attention to menus. I wonder if ideograms keeps looking so beautiful once you learned to decode them. I never found Latin script to be particularly beautiful, and to this date Arabic script remains my favorite one in term of esthetic (I can’t read Arabic ever).

This is not exactly what you’re asking about, but I started learning Japanese when I was in the middle of playing Cyberpunk 2077 (for unrelated reasons); and I gotta tell you; realizing that 98% of the Japanese text everywhere in the game was just “hotel” or “karaoke” definitely took away some charm from it.

This is really strange, but the link provided has an iframe pointing to https://mimo.xiaomi.com/coder

When you look at the source, you can set it to English from the params https://mimo.xiaomi.com/coder?lang=en but there's a small bug, the hero subtitle isn't translated but everything else is.

Wondering why this is in an iframe.... so strange

Language support was probably an afterthought since their target audience all read Chinese

Not doing anything is also not working. Denying it is worse than saying its broken. It's clear as day.

Key figures, wealth, etc. Shouldn't influence their power to this extend. The general public isn't silent, it's silenced.

I agree with 1, same for substack. bearblog seems cool tho

I don't think the content is low quality, though.

Balance maintenance with optimization. Is it easier to maintain? Win win!

I think it's fine to experiment, just communicate with your users and make sure its opt-in.

Seems like they kind of did that? The thread seems like people already were waiting on this, so that's positive.

I wonder if bot traffic is less if an emdash is included.
