I am still a WindSurf user. It has the quirk of deciding for itself on any given day whether to use ChatGPT 5.2 or Claude Opus 4.5 in Cascade (its agentic side panel). I've never noticed much of a difference, they are both amazing. I t

are you talking about the hashes (##, ###) etc in the subheadings? I think that's an intentional design thing, a bit of a nod to the back row, if you will.

How long did those effects take to come into effect? I have been on 2.5 for a week and haven't noticed a change in my appetite, though I have lost 2 pounds.

>Opus 4.5 has really startled me - it genuinely can do complex software engineering tasks which I'd expect a proficient developer to take hours in minutes with very few defects. I don't use Opus, but I use Sonnet 4.5 and ChatGp

they also offer a bunch of stuff like - searchable website - incredible well thought out postgres database that differentiates, for example, a recording from a release (and much, much more) - ability to replicate changes to said database ho

the top 10,000 songs seem to be 99.9% top-40 corporate pop, which suprised me. thought a list that broad would pick up more that was outside the maintream ...

this captures the early of excitement of hypertext in a cool way. seeing the technology through Deena Larsen's eyes is a trip. To her it was a way to be more experimental in expressing her research, and a new way of writing poetry. Mus

i guess i'd rather have the understanding it's offering me, with a smudge of, sure, call it bullshit, than not know it at all. If you think about it, there is no source out there that is unimpeachable, and there is a need to consu

I have the sense overall, from talking to it about aspects of his condition that I understand well, and also using it as a coding assistant in work, that by and large it's on point.

sorry, i didn't even read the article because I have everything blocked. From the comments, whatever it is it sounds terrible.

I am using it mostly to try to understand and get context about what the professionals tell me, the treatments they are offering, etc.

i quiz it often on aspects of my son's condition that I understand, and it gets things right most of the time, with the occasional glaring bit of misinformation.

I just had a pretty amazing 4 hour session with gpt 5.1 going over my son's rare disease. Chat broke it all down for me in a really deep and clear way in the back and forth. Insights I've never gotten to from talking to docs, read

I don't get how these agents can work when even Claude Sonnet 4.5 (for example) needs a lot of hand-holding for basic, simple bugfixing stuff. Wouldn't the agents just be huffing and puffing their way off the rails all the time?

It's not the opposite, it's kind of both. It stands for good things (awareness of inequality) - but it has landed in a place where it is perceived by people as having a prescriptive or condescending tone. This is largely because o

What twisted logic from him. A woke perspective on Fentanyl would be to be aware of its effects on marginalized people, and try to do something about it. Which it sounds like he would be in favor of? So he's woke?

by marstall 11mo ago
totally. woke means awareness, being aware of unfairness based on race, gender, sexual preference, being different, etc. So if you're "anti-woke" - you what, want to maintain all the prejudice and inequality in our country? T

yeah it's a crazy trend. suspicion that everything is AI is a poison to forums. have no idea how this moves forward. secretly hoping it destroys the entire internet, and rapidly. so we can go back to conspiring in smoke-filled rooms.

people saying this is AI-generated: why? It seems voicey, pacey, individualistic ... and contains new-to-the-world info. And it's good. None of these being qualities I associate with AI writing.
