@mehulmpt maybe, also use the 50$ free additional usage they are providing 😀

time to touch grass👍

@viditchess definitely much better for programming. coding ai tools work better too. might have gpu issues with nvidia - amd runs fine i heard. gotchas: netflix/prime can't do 4k (drm). wayland+nvidia+ubuntu was buggy for me.

Thinking of moving to Linux permanently... Really liking it so far.

@theo @valtism is it still slow like before, or is it within your acceptable threshold now? my last experience with codex/openai was that it's too slow in comparison to opus or sonnet - either the tokens per second are low or it uses more thinking tokens

@valtism 5.2 is a better model, but Opus is more pleasant to use

I’m seeing lots of people coming around to 5.2 being a better model than Opus. Have you reached that conclusion yet @theo?

@mehulmpt I think this is a sane take. I can't comprehend why people think Anthropic would allow its subsidized model access to other vendors.

Hot take: Anthropic is not wrong in restricting pro/max plan usage within Claude code. Fairly easy to bypass, however it’s 100% valid to stop something like that getting exploited by other vendors

@gkcs_ AI is whatever hasn't been done yet. - Tesler's Theorem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect

AGI just changed its definition. Again. Ilya Sutskever now says AGI is 5–20 years away. But AGI no longer means beating humans. It means "continuous learning". What a joke. If you are an engineer, let me break it down for you: The AI hype cycle is over. The next decade will belong to those who understand the fundamentals of AI.

@viditchess try svelte 🔥

Baby steps!

@thdxr docker and portainer

is docker currently installed on your machine?

@pilcrowonpaper maybe 🤷‍♂️. but also, maybe getting bored is actually a good thing for human beings, so that they can explore new things and learn more instead of just being stuck in one direction

Will AI that can match the human brain also get bored and procrastinate?

@mehulmpt got this today

Claude giving away free credits for Claude code. Very cool!

@viditchess also try hackernews news.ycombinator.com, especially the comments and discussion.

I realised why I am enjoying this so much. It's probably because Instagram has such low value content that there is a dearth of high quality, value add. Youtube that way still does a good job, but sometimes it can be a hit or miss with all the clickbaits.

@mehulmpt if we're being pedantic, true creation maybe doesn't exist. "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." - Carl Sagan

the reason AI works so good for coding in best case is because almost all developers are just creating sets of features already built somewhere else. most software engineering is just assembling, not creating.

@thdxr i moved to codex when gpt-5-high (not codex) felt better than sonnet. just before renewal date gpt-5-high felt clearly worse than sonnet-4.5, so i switched to claude. i used to ignore "fast" models, but if speed costs only a tiny quality drop, i'll take fast. codex is too slow.

both cursor and windsurf released models today heavily optimized for speed this is very different than the direction people have been pushing where they kick stuff off to codex for 45min but it's fast feedback loops are always what end up mattering

@thdxr en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explorati…

everything of value comes from sticking with something long enough to make it work the whole "try a lot of ideas and fail quickly" thing was intellectual justification for inability to focus and now LLM coding lets people go down this ineffective path even harder

@ChessProblem since it's only about time controls, maybe you need total fischer random championship, total freestyle championship etc 🤷‍♂️

maybe the 2024 fischer random world championship could be incorporated into the 2027 total world championship

@thdxr There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them. - someone

the more technical the user the more they will make up explanations with zero verification when they have a bad experience

@thdxr just like the megapixels of phone cameras, the clock speeds of processors🤔

it's crazy that 1M context window and 200K context window are the same thing

@ethanniser also, why wasn't it designed to upgrade via a post request so clients could send custom headers and a request body?🤔

why cant I just set a header in a `WebSocket` request on the client ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh who designed this api man

@pilcrowonpaper portainer ce on single-node docker swarm on hetzner arm. docker swarm allows rolling updates/scaling services, so we can run multiple instances of node.js to utilize all cores properly. portainer allows to remotely manage the stack(like docker compose) with a nice ui.

Where/how are you deploying your applications?

@fareesh @thdxr but you get 480p in linux or if you try hard 720p maybe

@amit13th @thdxr i'm blessed with not being able to tell the difference between 1080p and 4k

ok been on a mac studio for 2 months after 15 years of arch linux - here's some takeaways note i still remote into arch for all my work i used to use a 5K ultra wide - on linux you could split it into virtual displays i split it into one 4k display and the remainder was a secondary area, could window manage each independently this is impossible on macOS so the ultra wide was useless - eventually swapped to a 6K regular monitor i settled on aerospace for window management, it's the best i found but it's still rough, macos really does not want you using it this way so much of macos is not customizable i had trouble turning off all animations so a few things still feel slow on the plus side the whole iphone + airpod + mac combo is insane - it changed so many of my habits to the point where i can't imagine giving it up i also use my iphone as my desk camera now, another thing that works seamlessly on mac all media stuff got easier, video recording, editing, audio - even simplified my physical setup in a few places raycast is great - linux sorely missing something as polished. there's a lot of very polished mac apps without a linux equivalent overall...i'm frustrated. there's a lot of good but it's not a slam dunk and my system doesn't feel as optimal as it used to but i also don't wanna give up the positives to go back to linux i feel like the gap is close and apple could close them...but i have no faith they care about any of this stuff
