What kinds of tasks does Opus refuse? I’m a light daily user for the past 3 months and Opus has never refused a task for me.

If it’s a “next generation model” then why isnt it GPT-6 and not just a minor version bump over 5.5?

Looks great. But will 3hCloud be able to sustain those prices?

This is just the reality of hardware costs now. RAM and Disk are scarce, prices have skyrocketed. I wonder how much leverage the hyperscalers like AWS/GCP/Azure have on their own supply chain to keep costs level in their clouds.

Same for me. $20/mo is just fine and I use it to code daily. I suspect the people that burn through tokens have several subagents and 50 skills loaded and 40 MCP tools. All those load up the context on every single turn.

This was over 10 years ago, and the original price was something like £35. It was tiny, and the assumption was correct - most families had an HDMI capable TV and could afford the device and a usb keyboard. A used PC still needs a desk and a

The 80s kid in me still thinks dropping someone into a linux shell with a bunch of tools and no internet access is the best learning environment. Kids these days with their fancy tiktoks and such need to summon the old ways.

The original vision IIRC was to provide a cheap computer for students in low-income families. You could plug into your TV at home and start learning. Then the hobby community got wind of it and proceeded to buy out all the stock on every r

I submitted this link, which is clearly written by an LLM but has a good overview. Here's the actual bill: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S10642

The repo is showing initial commit of the entire codebase "6 minutes ago", and this was posted an hour ago? Are we time travelling now?

Is this the same algo used for Magic Carpet (1994)? The style looks very familiar, and I always wondered how they pulled it off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Carpet_(video_game)

They specifically avoided this due to the center of gravity issue, as mentioned in a top gear article several days ago. The design philosophy makes sense to start from scratch - but IMO they hired the wrong designer.

Or arbitrarily remove something that everyone takes for granted. Like the glove box or the door handles.

I mostly agree here. I just treat skills as “prompts”, and I scope them to domain specific tasks. I’m surprised when I see skill files that are really short. Most of mine are pages long.

I’ve been asked to sign up to plaid by clients three times. Each time I’ve said no. I’m not giving a 3rd party access to my bank account. I don’t understand how people enable this total loss of friction for direct account egress. There nee

Well, if all the training data for auto software was trash anyway, then you know what they say: Carbage in, carbage out.

My favorite Costco story is when it opened up in my town, we joined. We were there one day and bumped into some very good friends of the family there (since passed sadly). They were talking about how they were admiring all the services offe

We have a cherry blossom tree. It bloomed a week earlier than last year. We’re not in Kyoto but I did notice and it’s a bit strange. I also noticed some other blossoming trees that typically bloom for about a week, went green after 3 days.

Nonsense bills get introduced all the time. I’m not saying this shouldn’t be taken seriously, but this eventually getting codified is a long shot. There are so many issues with how this can work in practice. Best case it just asks how old

In a multiline text box, enter should NOT submit the form. Chat interfaces violate this rule and it results in lots of premature chat submissions.

Codex switched to paid API tokens only. Not to mention their alignment with the department of war.

Why do you think the author of this piece, to who you originally replied, has any control over this?

Yeah of course. He has nothing to do with Microsoft operations or strategy. But does he still use the products?

Given how bad windows has become since windows 7, I’ve been wondering. Does Bill Gates still use Windows? Does he put up with the horribleness?

No. Aside from just making an algorithm that didn’t even run, it refused to use an MCP that it had registered in the same context session.
