I was paying around $500 / month on average between multiple providers for over a year. I cancelled one a while ago because of pretty bad service availability (Bet you guess who that is!), which by all reports hasn't improved much

Good to know. I hadn't checks since early is DS4's launch when they were the only provide (I think maybe there was one other, but they also trained on your data). I see several private options now.

Yes, but I think that'll change eventually. If you trust hosting your code with a specific cloud provider then you'll probably also trust them for code assist. At least that's my theory. There'll probably need to be a th

I just assume Opus is constantly nerfed based on capacity. I was exclusively Claude for a long time, but the inconsistency in quality, constant outages, and slow downs were too hard to work with. I just use dumb and fast models now. I'

That Ivanka podcast interview about this island will go down as a masterpiece in tone-deafness. I assume there are already memes of it.

I mean, gold is up significantly more than then broad market since Trump took over, but that doesn’t mean you should gamble on it continuing. I don’t trust real estate either. Seems like anything with a middleman is setting record levels of

It's only a problem for the ones left holding the bag. I'm at an all-time low allocation percentage in the US stock market and considering pulling more out still. Full on casino vibes at this point.

I've been messing with DS4 flash. It's very fast and has 1m context. Downside is it's probably not great for private codebases (at least not when hosted by DeepSeek) and it's also not great at sticking to instructions if

I think frontier models are bait now. I prefer a fast, less thoughtful model that adhere's to instructions. The code these latest models produce is often hot garbage and you still need to micro-manage. Fast with small chunks is better.

Except it generally worked for gambling for a very very long time. The existence of a black market does not mean something should be legal. Human trafficking happens, but that doesn't mean we should legalize and tax it. (extreme exampl

Claude at times feels lobotomized compared to where it was a few months ago with 4.6. I think Anthropic was (is still?) struggling with their infrastructure and hasn't felt as good for me anecdotally for a few months. Significantly eno

Carney’s current majority is correlated to PP’s douchiness levels and Trump adjacent language. I’m not in love with bankers running the country either, but give us another option.

100% agree with this. Yes government's can also abuse it's workers, but society can more easily vote out an abusive government (especially locally) than an abusive CEO / board. There's no perfect solution, but police uni

Google can self fund from their war chest while OpenAI and Anthropic are hat in hand.

Just a heads up that you cannot opt out of training on any of their "personal" plans (including Ultra) last time I checked. Both Claude and ChatGPT allow you to opt out of training on their paid plans. It would be nice if this was

This is correct. Sorry I was using my phone to post. Here's what my bash alias verbatim looks like (.bashrc / .zshrc). The DEEPSEEK_API_KEY var is setup separately (so claude doesn't see it): ---- alias clauded='ANTHROPI

It'll be interesting to see what happens when OpenAI goes public. I'm expecting the executives to run away with bags of money once they offload their insane risk to the public... or maybe there's a bailout / money printe
