I'm gonna be very blunt with you (disregarding again the goalpost moving from your earlier claim that "speciation is reproductive incompatability (sic)"): the jargon you are throwing around is not helpful, it is pure linguist

NextJs requires what exactly? Running a nodejs server? I mean yes, it takes a bit more time to set up than one-command deploy to Vercel. But in 2026, even this setup overhead can be cut down to minutes by telling your favorite LLM agent to

There really isn't any if you are running a serious product. They have a free tier plan for non-commercial usage and a very very good UX for just deploying your website. Many companies start using Vercel for the convenience and, as the

> oh by the way, we are a species of primate, not dust, and rib bones. Fascinating. Not sure what gave you the idea I don’t believe in evolution or that I’m somehow promoting biblical creationism? Are you responding to the right comment?

You are free to create your own human classification scheme with k sub-species and try to popularize it, there's nobody stopping you and there isn't some authority out there called "the scientific community" that's

> speciation is reproductive incompatability This is not necessarily true, even under a very strict definition of reproductive compatibility (offspring is itself not sterile, which excludes mules or ligers). For example, feral dogs, wolv

Of course, and I feel like Codex/GPT is generally better at following instructions and implementing a step-by-step plan and at a lower cost. Opus still has an edge in writing, brainstorming, and open-ended frontend vibe-coding. I’m def

I like your style, and I appreciate you trying to get to the truth, despite us both being aware that we are engaging in persuasive writing here, so part of the rhetorical game is in what we choose to emphasize and what we choose to leave ou

I'd be ok with paying more if results were good, but it seems like Anthropic is going for the Tinder/casino intermittent reinforcement strategy: optimized to keep you spending tokens instead of achieving results. And yes, Claude m

Their thinking is that making the conditions bad will serve as deterrent i.e. would-be criminals would think twice before committing crimes because they're scared of going to prison. Of course, this makes no sense, as most criminals ha

Not to get pedantic, but rugpulling is still not strictly speaking “stealing”, because everyone is playing according to the protocol’s rules. Someone controlling a large share of pool tokens can decide to liquidate them and extract the othe

Strongly disagree and you should refrain from trying to give universal advice on these matters. I never had a 24h circadian rhythm. The only way to fall asleep at the same moment every day for me would be to medicate myself. I am very happy

There's a reason why OpenAI and Anthropic (and before them Google, Apple, Meta, etc.) were started in the US and not Europe. And let's not compare salaries we each get for similar work because that tends to make my European friend

Codex/GPT5.4 is just superior to Opus4.6 for coding. I swear it costs me 1/2 of the tokens to achieve the same results and it always follows through the plan to completion compared to Opus that takes shortcuts and sweeps things un
