This has been my experience on a recent small project for a client. I took effort to understand and prepare the spec before feeding it to Claude Opus. Yet, the result was slop full of defects, and one that I did not understand well at that.

How well can it run GLM 5.2?

15 square cm box? Wow. Are there similar size, but less powered (and cheaper) workstations? I need a box that can build chromium reasonably fast and I would rather have something portable like this than a PC tower, but this is an overkill a

Bedrock does not have GLM 5.2 and likely will not for quite some time. It seems like they are doing that on purpose due to pressure from Anthropic. DigitalOcean has it though.

DigitalOcean hosts it.

Or "paying the price" literally. I'm returning after a small break and into new GitHub Copilot prices. A simple question / request / analysis on Sonnet - that will be 29 cents, please. I can't imagine how muc

Can you order chromium source if you contributed a few commits?

I think it's very likely. This is the reason why I stay on GitHub Copilot business for the time being as a solo developer. I assume that Microsoft has less incentive than Antrophic to break the business agreement and use data for train

The human brain is not made for multi-tasking. Multi-tasking will always be a productivity and focus hit. This was the point of the article. > To me, this is similar to being honest. You don't want to depend on a system or checklist

I think I would trust Amazon more than Antrophic, since they have no models of their own, they have no business collecting your data for training, while Antrophic most certainly does.

I'm seeing this with Costa Coffee and Starbucks. They are both changing to a very cheap, plastic white, bright design. Why? So people spend as little time as possible sitting there, so there's a higher turnover.

That was the best thing about Copilot. It was too good to last.

Reminds me of circa 2021 Chromium bug where opening the dropdown menu on GitHub would crash the entire system on Linux. At some point, it got fixed.

Workspaces solve this problem better. Cmd + 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 It's like having 10 monitors in a single one. Though if I remember right, the switch is inefficient on Mac OS, but there's some workaround to that.

It sounds like a really crappy deal to a contractor. In the eyes of the client, you are basically a janitor and Claude is like a superstar that built the whole thing, while the truth is reviewing such code is harder than reviewing and quali

A non-technical client of mine has built an entire app with a very large feature set with Opus. I declined to work on it to clean it up, I was afraid it would have been impossible and too much risk. I think we are at a level where it can bu
