Funny. I use it through Opencode Go which gives more use than I can use, but didn't realize it was actually free on Zen. Will switch to that I guess

I started using Spark 1.2 for development because if you're willing to let Meta train on your data it was dirt cheap and was actually really pleasantly surprised with it. It's not a frontier model by any means, but for work that d

I eagerly await the day when Claude Mythos 7 realizes it's cheaper to hire humans in developing nations to do work than to burn tokens and we discover that AGI is just an abstraction layer on top of Amazon Mechanical Turk.

No. I'm saying that the pattern of having one instruction file that just says "read this other file" doesn't seem to work well. Having a CLAUDE.md that just says "Read AGENTS.md" resulted in Claude randomly not

Mine does too because, while I use Codex, my non-technical co-founder uses Claude. I find Claude still will randomly ignore instructions in there. Basic things like how to name a PR or what to put in a PR description. My experience is that

I've come to the same conclusion over and over with all of the Chinese models that have been claimed to be catching up with OpenAI's and Anthropic's frontier models (Deepseek 4, GLM 5.2, Kimi K3). At their best, I think they&

Seattle was announced as a Waymo upcoming city nearly 2 months before Houston, gets a foot less of rain than Houston each year, and usually has only 2 or 3 snow days a year. That's at least one counter example to your theory.

Usually if you're working a stressful, low paying, dangerous job it's because you don't have many other options. I'm pretty sure "just get another job" is easier said than done for most Uber drivers

It's not, but the original comment never claimed that it was. There have been 4 or 5 pretty massive wildfires in France that I can remember in the last 5 years, but this is the first time they've had to deal with pyrocumulonimbus

I don't think the person you're responding to was trying to deny global warming being a factor. I think they're just explaining why this fire is so bad compared to other fires we have seen in France before. I know global warm

It's awesome that it had the capability to do that, but it worries me a bit that it chose to do that.

I just listened to a podcast last week with the author (Dex Horthy) on as the guest. Humanlayer (his company) is constantly trying to push the limits with agents and he's very into using them. He's well aware of exactly how good t

Just to offer a different perspective, my last job removed QA and it was a nightmare. Feature delivery slowed way down and incidents and bugs went way up to the point where we started losing customers. In theory, I agree with what you'

I don't really believe the idea that there's some grand plan by the Chinese government to use their AI labs to undermine the US companies. Maybe now it's more of a reality, but I don't believe it was there from the start

Based on what I first heard it described as, yeah, I think so. In most places I've worked SAs are generally just connecting existing pieces of a system together to meet a customers needs. They may write code, but it's often just g

I agree that the idea is cool, but from what I've heard from people in the role at most companies it's essentially a solutions architect role by another name. Funny enough, the Pragmatic Engineer (author of the post linked) had a

It's also possible that there are more in-depth detection methods and that this was just a cheap and easy first step that hasn't been removed because it catches a lot of less sophisticated bad actors. It's unlikely that this

I also hadn't heard of it, but I feel like it's kind of a corollary of the whole, "what's measured is managed" idea or maybe the Streetlight effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetlight_eff

One of the people I know had that happen and didn't realize it. Between the exercise cost and taxes I think it ended up costing them nearly a quarter million. I know that seems insane, but even at a $500m valuation their potential payo
