RAM is the new bottleneck. Every Node.js process is fighting for memory: containers, serverless, cloud bills, k8s limits. And here's the maddening part: V8 can use half the memory with one flag, and almost nobody turns it on.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash: Space Performance + Bunny Speed
🚀🐰 Yes, Space Bunny - which has topped global leaderboards with 200T+ tokens - was an earlier version of M3.1 Flash.
💰Redefining the performance economics of agentic AI. M3.1 Flash achieves frontier-level intelligence across key tasks such as Cowork (Automation-Bench: 62%; ALE: 30%), Coding (DeepSWE: 74%) and Visual Reasoning (BabyVision: 91%), at 1/3 the cost of M3 and 3x the speed.
API pricing (flat rate): $0.15 / $0.60 per 1M input/output tokens, with cache reads at $0.015 / 1M tokens.
Model weights will arrive on Oct 23.
API: platform.minimax.io
M Plan: minimax.io/m-plan
MiniMax Code for desktop: agent.minimax.io/download

✨🇨🇳 These are next-generation smart blackboards in classrooms across China.
While the US debates how to address homelessness, China channels public resources into education — investing in the next generation instead of wars.
When tax money flows to people and their future, it lays the groundwork for long-term progress.

Rich clients ask:
- What’s included?
- What’s the process?
- How fast can we ship?
- What does success look like?
Poor clients ask:
- How do you justify this?
- Break it down hourly
- That’s way too high
- Others told me lower
That’s not curiosity, that’s resistance.

If you are struggling with ACNE,
Stop listening to mainstream advice.
They will mislead you to sell you drugs, injections, creams, soaps, lotions and towels.
Read this thread and have an acne-free face.

Major open source wins this year:
- DeepSeek cracked cheap long context for LLMs
- Qwen dropped the best vision model in the world
- Llama 4 Scout arrived with a 10M context window
- Minimax M2 delivered sonnet 4.5-level performance at 8% of its price
- GLM 4.6 brought a 200k token context window and performs with Sonnet 4
- Kimi k2 thinking outperformed GPT-5 and Claude 4.5 Sonnet on several benchmarks while being 10x cheaper than GPT-5 and 20x cheaper than Sonnet 4.5
The gap between closed and open-source AI is closing fast.
Dan Kimani retweeted
for every closed model, there's an open source alternative
sonnet 4.5 → glm 4.6 / minimax m2
grok code fast → gpt-oss 120b / qwen 3 coder
gpt 5 → kimi k2 / kimi k2 thinking
gemini 2.5 flash → qwen 2.5 image
gemini 2.5 pro → qwen3-235-a22b
sonnet 4 → qwen 3 coder

whoa. I just found a way to properly infer recursive types in z.object() — no casting, no z.lazy(), no scopes/registries, no special syntax.
i've been trying to do this for literally years

I don't understand why squash merging is not the default on GitHub. The other options make no sense, and just slow things down.
Similarly, it's confusing that people *still* use `git merge`. It makes everything so complicated. Always rebase, never merge.

Meet a multilocationist working for William Ruto. This woman is both Embu, Maasai and so far Kisii. She has the capacity to be mamamboga, Tea Kiosk owner, house wife and Posho Mill Owner. She simultaneously lives in 3 different counties (so far). Yes, she meets the president..

Here’s the message I was passing. Let’s design new grassroot mobilization tactics.
