Ask HN: What do you think about US Government's Geographic Ban on Fable?

I keep pushing the frontier models to the limits and have several projects they still can’t solve, I benchmark new models on. Every new model make it easier to “solve” the even harder problems, but still I have this feeling that they rely 99% on my ideas.
They just don’t get the ideas and I have to hold their hand and help them.Don’t get me wrong, anything that is close to done already they excel at and can combine existing techniques. I’m talking about new ideas models have never seen before.Example I have this hobby project that push what’s possible with route optimization. Yes it’s close to SOTA and way more efficient than all (?) other solutions out there (punnerud.github.io&#x2F;mpee&#x2F;), but I have to hold the model in the hand and brainstorm ideas on how to compress a matrix.And it’s just not a one time thing, happens like 40-50 times in few days.The 1% there is this “new ideas” part. Why can I come up with all these, and not the model?
A really hard reval to create. Now this project is open, later I am thinking about making a frontier project in the same way, keeping it away from the public and using it as a benchmark. It’s that the best way to test for new ideas in models?

Ask HN: Just me feeling that Mythos/Fabel just 1% there?

Sophia NLU is an on device, low compute, Rust based natural language understanding engine that acts as a conversation agent. It offers the fluidity of a LLM without the compute, requiring only 160MB of RAM, no GPU. Handles unlimited devices, multiple intents, ambiguity, contextual awareness, millisecond latency, doesn&#x27;t connect to the internet, and never calls home.Upgrade to v1.2 just released with details at: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nlu.tech&#x2F;r&#x2F;ha_v10200This upgrade comes with many improvements:* Sophia will now ask for clarification if it&#x27;s uncertain which entity you meant.
* State persistence. For example, if you ask how many lights are on in the kitchen, you can now say &quot;turn them off for me&quot; in the next message and Sophia will remember which lights you mean.
* Help improve Sophia! When Sophia doesn&#x27;t correctly understand a message, simply tell Sophia the last message was wrong. It will be logged, and once in a while, manually upload all pending through the Log menu of the web interface for review and repair.
* And more...Grab a free trial of Sophia, and be setup within minutes at: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nlu.tech&#x2F;ha&#x2F;After the free trial, you can either pay a small fee or simply refer a single paying customer and get your lifetime license absolutely free. Essentially, a 2 for 1 deal.The built-in Assist is very rigid as it only allows for single intents, and requires the friendly names of devices. LLMs require a GPU, hallucinate and give probabilistic mismatches. And nobody wants to send their messages over the wire to big tech. Sophia solves this pain point with quality and privacy.Hand crafted, not vibe coded. This is actually 2.5 years of R&amp;D with many months and upgrades for the HA edition now. I have huge ambitions for this tech, so am 100% here to ensure you get the best software possible and it works exactly as you need. If there&#x27;s any issues at all, just simply let them be know, and they will be resolved.My inbox is always open, if you need me, I&#x27;m at matt@cicero.sh. I&#x27;ve had a very rough handful of years since going suddenly blind, so if you could do me a favor and share this around it would be greatly appreciated.

I submit an extension (an adblocker) to Google Chrome&#x27;s web store.Google keeps rejecting it for dubious reasons. The first rejection was claim it was &quot;spam&quot;. When I appealed, the review came back that it contained &quot;additional functionality&quot; because it uses &quot;modifies network traffic&quot;. Well of course it does! When I asked the reviewer how I could achieve the stated functionality of blocking ads without the use of &quot;declarativeNetRequest&quot; I simply received the same canned response.I submit a totally new update that simplified the code and included comments, and references to other open source projecs that use the exact same mechanisms. Again it was rejected. On this appeal I asked if it could be escalated to a senior reviewer who could possibly reply with more context. Same canned response and rejection.I can&#x27;t help but think Google has some internal policy to give adblockers a runaround. It is obvious to me the stated rejections are not valid (Note that I&#x27;m also not new to this - I have several extensions that have been published for years with thousands of users) but have never encountered such gate-keeping before.It&#x27;s a sad state of affairs even if not totally unpredictable. To be honest I&#x27;m surprised Google hasn&#x27;t made it an official policy to prohibit adblockers. But they haven&#x27;t - obviously there are other adblockers published to the store, and that&#x27;s what makes this so frustrating.Anyway, fellow developers. Anyone run into a similar situation? And how did you resolve it? Thanks!

My main coding agents are CodeX-CLI and OpenCode (Harness seems to have some problems). I also use CodeWhale, Antigravity-CLI and OpenClaude as supplements (because of network issues, I don&#x27;t really dare to use Claude Code). In some special cases, bashagt.What coding agents are everyone using, or do you have any recommendations? New tools are coming out like waves now.
