I noticed the difference, but coming from Gemini and xAI models it wasn’t that glaring. I still find that Opus makes much better plans than anything else I’ve tried, and it’s been very good at catching my mistakes in using public-key crypto

DRY might be even more misunderstood. We all parrot it to mean don’t duplicate code, forgoing the part where domain and function need to be taken into account.

I know of a very serious business that deployed Max to all of their developers. API pricing, from what I see, can become more expensive than just hiring another dev.

The statement can be extended to almost any device indeed. To my dismay, Tolinos/Vivlios (or whatever your country calls the rebranded device) haven’t seen any improvements in forever and the local stores are hard to use. I’m still usi

I agree with all you’ve said. Gemini loves deleting tests as well, and all of them will relentlessly stub things to make unit tests ‘easy’. What experience brought me is knowing where to steer them, e.g. scraping all their shitty glue code

I’ve used their software during my Multimedia studies and continued paying for some of it because it was just very, very good. I despise Adobe’s pricing and the many things they are known for. But let’s not pretend that “competitor gives

Perhaps. I’d like to like Devstral because I’d rather give my money to an European business. My experience with it in an existing codebase has been that it gets to results much more reliably than Gemini Flash or Haiku, but it will cut corne

Eh. I suppose to each their own, but my experience as a user and developer is… that it depends on a lot of factors. Many web apps open faster than many apps I have installed. Some of these apps have a faster mobile web app version. And then

Belgium more closely follows the Swiss model — though with some duplication if you consider whatever Orange/Telenet is doing. And you know, fiber isn’t that well distributed. Portugal is also not that different from the Swiss model. Fi

The Trump administration has shown how many US corporations are willing to bend the knee. Perhaps that was the slap in the face we needed in Europe. It’s shown us that “oh, but they’re just a service provider” wasn’t that truthful, and thei

A bigger blocker I see in Belgium is all the corporate and government software written in Java or .NET-with-Angular and that has to be deployed via Azure because… compliance.

Are web apps much less efficient to use?

I don’t think a lot of people still go home and use their computer for stuff. Most of my family will either rely on a phone or tablet to get anything done at home. I doubt they’d care about which OS they’re on. Corporate tightens their lapt

In Berlin we’d just go to the local movie rental shop (think Blockbuster). Wednesdays they would rent the latest Blu-Ray titles for 1.50€, 1€ for DVDs. Done and dusted, the service was amazing and we’d talk a bit with the lady there. I real

I haven’t. It breaches through ANC, pedestrian or otherwise, which would help with cyclists as well.

Jokes on them for the wasted resources. If they don’t intend to market, I hope someone will. Where I live cyclists use ANC headphones all the time, and I’m tired of the near misses. Student cyclists that ignore the rules and wear ANC (or ev

True. In my case it’s also out of general tiredness and disinterest. A good newsletter that catches up on useful things in the ecosystem might help, otherwise I can’t be bothered anymore to keep up. 5 years ago that still seemed like a good

I haven’t, but I’ve used Opus in Antigravity and it performs pretty much the same? It’s hard to tell minute differences. Do you think Claude Code is what makes their models operate better? And by the same token, then what would give Gemini

There’s been some success training models on top of differential privacy. I imagine that with live requests it would be quite challenging but not impossible, assuming you could somehow sanitize all sorts of private data that people throw at

It was a “bad judgement call” this time because people noticed and complained. Next time it will be the right judgement call. Ach.

I love seeing regular people defend meritocracy as if we didn’t have plenty of examples of how the game is rigged and money-is-power-is-political-influence. God forbid a business makes some ethical choices.

Axios really does a lot of other great things. I would argue that Fetch could’ve easily been Axios-lite. Axios handles errors better, has interceptors, parses JSON for you, etc. The multiple supply chain attacks against NPM packages would,

If you look at SWE, Claude models aren’t that special. Other benchmarks come up with different results. But… anecdotally, Claude is just that good. Gemini needs a lot of hand-holding, and it will still tell you it’s done when it achieved

Soft power is wonderful and lovely, and it would be a much better world if shows of force where to stop. Sympathy is akin to allegiance, and over time translates into all sorts of practical benefits. We were getting harsher on China until i

It’s _really_ not just a few downsides, although they’re catching up quickly. My Air would get USB-C video out soon, it seems. But I don’t think Asahi should be anyone’s main driver yet. (That reminds me that it’s time to donate again.)

I’ll cheer for the failure of anything Altman does, and I’m not usually so antagonistic to a CEO. If they spin-off Codex, I’ll buy; but would never fund anything where he’s involved. My .02

That was indeed the case until last week. AGY right now hits the limits super fast on the Pro plan. I’ve had to start using Gemini CLI all the time, and am now considering what’s next. It feels like we’ve sped-run the golden age of Claude a

A Framework running a sane version of macOS would be peak computing for me. Not that repairability isn’t great, but in 16 years of Apple devices my only needed repair was their atrocious butterfly-style keyboard, and Apple footed the bill t
