You must've missed the OpenAI's response to Anthropic forcing everyone to their own harness if they want subscription pricing: official endorsement of custom harnesses like opencode and pi even when used with Codex subscription. I

I think the author is right. There are many peripheral nice-to-haves you can get from a code review. Bugs, security, performance, correctness issues are all possible bonus findings you may get sometimes. But there is only one _must_ in revi

Be careful what you’re centering yourself between. If one side is trying to build decent policy with a small fringe that has almost no political power, and the other side’s fringe has cemented itself as the new mainstream and fights classic

Yeah. We love the comfort of "getting it", but most of the easy problems have been solved, and we're only left with the hard ones. People are pleasure-seekers, not truth-seekers. People demand what they can understand and fee

That’s if you are trying to learn. Many of these know exactly what they’re doing, on purpose.

Agree, mostly. On the internet, I like to be selective about only addressing new substantial claims. In person, at work, etc, it makes sense to spend more energy, be more patient to get on the same page, and you get more benefit if you succ

That's how claims work. Why would I argue against nobody? Happy to engage if you disagree with the claim. I only somewhat disagree with the post in the second part, with reasons enough to start the conversation.

One of the most cancerous developments of our generation is a bunch of people isolating themselves from everyone else, and having their perfect unchallenged audience captured views spread far and wide. On a more personal level, the reason p

I use it because it’s a simple, convenient and cheap OCR api. Specifically via my ringbinder[1] tool. [1]: https://github.com/maxim/ringbinder

Not the comment author, but I use pi and customize it with my own extensions. Pi automatically tells models how to customize itself, so it's a pretty easy process.

Not the commenter, but the reason is the same as the choice to use direct db driver vs ORM - you get to take full advantage of special features and intricacies of one system, rather than trying to maintain a lowest common denominator of fun

I think what this advice is really getting to, is that you should prefer everything generally build-time/hardcoded/static rather than runtime/dynamic. Wrote about this in 2013 (calling it a CMS trap[1], back then seemed perti

Yeah, for perfect positioning/overlaying I would be much stricter with my requirements. For that type of OCR I used Apple’s own LiveText framework that comes with MacOS. But in this use case I only care about standalone plain text and

IME way better. It may not be the best out there, but it's cheap (2c per page), fast, easy to integrate API, and sufficient for my needs. It does things like describe what's drawn in pictures and shown in graphs, which all helps w

Yeah, for me it was all about not letting mail and kids schoolwork pile up. I like to scan ads that local businesses leave in my mailbox, so that I can ask "show me lawn care services near me". A lot of them don't really have

Your point 3 is a non sequitur. If air travel is magical and valuable, that doesn’t automatically mean it needs subsidizing. We sometimes allow magical and valuable things to go away if we find them not to be popular enough to garner widesp

No, all I’m saying is that air travel is so different than any other kind of travel, that it is very special, and borderline magical. Saying something like “nothing magical about air travel, things and people would still travel around the g

I’m responding to a claim that there’s nothing “magical” about air travel. It literally enables things otherwise impossible.

When something is that drastically different, it becomes different in kind. For example, if you have high network latency, you cannot jam (play live music) with friends remotely. If you have low latency, you can. Just because the difference

Growing up in the 90s in Moscow wasn't all cakewalk (immigrated to US soon after), but I fondly remember watching the show and reading Russian-translated X-Files books. I don't know why the books were so fascinating to me. Imagine

I used TextMate prior to Sublime, but then I became into vim mode, which TM never got I believe.

I'm also sticking with Sublime for many years, and at this point it feels like it is some kind of old man stubbornness (like George R.R. Martin using WordStar 4.0 type thing). I don't know why its ergonomics for me have been just

Hm, didn’t encounter any crashes you describe in my usage, but your second paragraph sounds familiar.

On pi coding agent, it worked very well for me over the past few months, but started glitching more recently, just prior to this announcement.

Yeah it was crazy. Nowadays I use pi with OpenAI GPT 5.4/5.5, which to me seems both better and more generous than Claude. I supplement it with OpenCode Zen to get access to a bunch of models at token cost, and OpenCode Go ($10/mo

Everybody who says it's a 5-9-27x seems to not be aware of the obvious loophole. More like 50x increase. You were able to use over $500 worth of Opus on a $10/mo Github plan easily, no hacks. You could just prompt "plan this
