  GLM is a lot less "forgiving" than Opus/GPT; use these techniques in your long workflows to avoid many GLM errors: 1⃣ incremental output - don't output at the end, make your agents output incrementally while working 2⃣ checkpoint writes - glm agents can timeout very easily during reasoning phases, so have them output checkpoints to prevent this 3⃣ tighten prompts - glm seems a lot dumber than opus/gpt at figuring out what the correct action is, so tighten up your prompts to remove any ambiguity 4⃣ negative & positive enforcement - opus/gpt generally do the right thing if given the reasons why that is the right thing to do, but glm benefits from explicitly being told what to not do since it loves to misbehave 5⃣ tolerate output variance - glm is worse at outputting correct formats. Tighten up output specification prompts but also consider tolerating greater output variance & using deterministic output cleanup to format things correctly 6⃣ verify outputs, auto retry - glm can return seemingly "successful" but without writing any outputs, it can return weird tooling info in its outputs, there are lots fo weird things that can happen. Ensure to check the outputs for correctness, diagnose the cause of failures & have automated system in place to re-try failed spawns using prompts which instruct the retried agent to correct the errors Perhaps I've just been spoiled by Optus/Gpt but GLM feels quite "rough around the edges" in comparison.

  Here in Australia we’ve got the semi-annual hand wringing over cellular carriers and emergency calls - is it time to ditch SS7 for VoIP/SIP and switch from single operator SIM from Telstra/Optus to multi-operator SIM like SimBase or ThingsMobile?

  @VoteLewko On my mates farm in the coast they have redundancy (Starlink) & anothet mate who runs ASIC’s infrastructure says they have always had both Telstra & Optus to try & avoid over reliance on a single network. So if farmers & some federal bureaucrats know this why don’t Victoria’s?🤡

  @borisstephens Firstly, taxes do not fund government spending, critical misconception the establishment perpetuates on purpose to justify austerity. Secondly, you're right to say that just throwing money at problems does not automatically fix anything. You still need competent management and a plan. All nationalisation does at a baseline is remove the profit motive that leads to cutting corners on network maintenance to save money, which is what leads in part to outages like this. And I haven't just proposed renationalisation, I've also proposed using Optus' satellite expertise to create a publicly-owned, privacy-first satellite internet network to challenge Starlink.

  @YoiksAndAway @Optus @Telstra Absolutely. Management that place personal greed above service should not be in service industries, and those who endanger lives for personal gain should not be at liberty.

  @BoxnDiceExp How the hell does VLine not have a redundancy with Optus or another network in this scenario... seriously what morons do they have working there?

  '[CBA] suggested customers switch connections to an Optus network or local wi-fi source. '[Tyro] was aware some people were unable to connect to payment machines that operate on 4G networks'.
