Which has really only been accepted because 99% of people don’t understand how it works. Hard to be outraged by something you can’t see or understand. In my book, the practice is akin to malware. I recently opened a website for an AI servic

Oh, I’ve tried that too. It will promise to keep it in English from here on out, then switch back to Chinese after two or three exchanges. When ever it needs to do a web search, it seems to load so much Chinese text that it forgets any lang

I finally uninstalled the app yesterday after giving it plenty of chances over several months. Yesterday, I asked it whether «DeepSeek has fixed the issue where it erroneously answers in Chinese?» and it answered in Chinese.

Not really comparable IMO. Astra and Fable are not the every day workhorse you reach for to do basic tasks (unless your company has fuck you-money), they’re the tool you break out when you need the absolute strongest performance. There are

Immediately checked [GitHub copilot]( https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing... ) to see if I can actually afford to use sol at work now, and see it listed at 2/10, which is less than

This is awesome. I’ve recently set up my opencode to use 5.6 terra for my main agent, who delegates work to a 5.6 Luna coder agent. So far it seems to work well, and reduce costs a lot. With this price reduction, it will work a whole lot be

Thanks for the advice. I don’t feel like my job is that bad, honestly. I’m an IT consultant and there’s always just a little too much that needs to be done at my current client. I’m extremely motivated for the task though, and end up overex

Recognizable. I try to increase how much of my wage I save, in case I can’t continue working for ever. My best answer for my own sake is just burnout, exasperated by some underlying depression. I can have good periods when job stress is low

I've been on Grindr for years, and I know first hand that their support is as bad as it can get. _Seriously_. I know because they also have a big automated ban problem. In trying to fight their bot issue, they've started auto-bann
