   Yeah but what's the argument?

   I‘m a big fan of the four day workweek idea, but let’s not kid ourselves. 5 days are 5 days. I work 10h days usually and I just wouldn’t be able to fit all that work into 4 days.

   3.5 seems to be better at coding than 3-coder-next, I’d check it out.

   In the article, they claim up to 25t/s for the LARGEST model with a 24GB VRAM card. Need a lot of RAM obviously

   Some of my M1 MBP Max keys are losing their coating, and the battery is at 74% capacity. At some point soon I'll need a service. But other than that, I have no real complaints. Even the case edge where my arms constantly rest doesn&#x2

   We've already established in this thread that memory bandwidth isn't that much greater than M4 Max - 12%? However, I wonder if batched inference will benefit greatly from the vastly improved compute. My guess is that parallel usag

   Click targets on window controls are too small to ever make sense. Nobody needs this.

   Tangential, iPadOS 26 is absolutely unusable on iPad Minis. Who needs window management on an 8" screen?

    I thought I read somewhere that their full test suite is not publicly available?

    Slightly tangential, I‘m testdriving an MLX Q4 variant of Qwen3.5 32B (MoE 3B), and it’s surprisingly capable. It’s not Opus ofc. I‘m using it for image labeling (food ingredients) and I‘m continuously blown away how well it does. Quite fas

    While writing the comment, I did think to myself, that NASA did a ton of prototypes to de-risk. They simulated the landing as close as they could possibly make it, on earth. So, probably not pure waterfall either. Maybe my comment was a bit

    Yeah, if done right. In my experience, such a reimplementation is often lossy, if tests don’t enforce presence of all features and nonfunctional requirements. Maybe the primary value of the early versions is building up the test system, all

    I agree, and personally I often start with a spec. However, I haven’t found it useful to make this very detailed. The best ROI I‘ve been getting is closing the loop as tightly as possible before starting work, through very elaborate test ha

    Iterating on paper in my experience never captures the full complexity that is iteratively created by the new constraints of the code as it‘s being written.

    This. Waterfall never worked for a reason. Humans and agents both need to develop a first draft, then re-evaluate with the lessons learned and the structure that has evolved. It’s very very time consuming to plan a complex, working system u

    I've been using iCloud to sync Obsidian, and have consistently run into the problem that iCloud file container access needs full disk permissions that I don't want to give the agent (or Ghostty). Does everybody use Obsidian's

    Unless you're using an enterprise plan or pay per token, you're not hurting their business at all by cancelling. The consumer plans are heavily subsidised.

    Is your argument I should use a shitty model while my coworkers feed the US-based models with the same data? Where would be the sense in that? > Isn't it standard practice for allies to spy on each other? Allies? The US is on the br

    If societal feedback is the only thing keeping a human from deviating in catastrophic ways, that’s what we call a sociopath.

    As a European user, I‘m not happy at all. I can’t fail to notice that non-domestic mass surveillance is not excluded here. I won’t cancel my account just yet because Opus is the best at computer use. But as soon as Mistral catches up and wo

    IDK the current state, but I remember that, last year, the open source coding harnesses needed to provide exactly the tools that the LLM expected, or the error rate went through the roof. Some, like grok and gemini, only recently managed to

    I don’t think this is a result of the base training data („the internet“). It’s a post training behavior, created during reinforcement learning. Codex has a totally different behavior in that regard. Codex reads per default a lot of potenti

    Opus is just as good in pi.dev, Amp, or OpenCode. CC is an increasingly bug ridden slopfest.

    I don’t think people will just accept that. They‘ll use some European or Chinese model instead that doesn’t have that problem.
