    What am I missing in Zed is actually a "File History" - like in VS Code, which keeps a history of every time a file was saved to the disk, and it's very easy to review that history…

    it depends on how you see things. By default OMP with all its options turned off is very much like Pi, just with a better UX/UI - and - a faster start, somehow. And you can turn th…

    I'm rather scared of US models - if Anthropic was the only AI provider in the world, it's easy to see that common people would have no access at all. Thankfully there is OpenAI whi…

    that benchmark seems to match my experience. GPT 5.5 is significantly better than Opus 4.8, last time I tried composer 2.5 it was truly dumb, and Fable to me looks to be on par wit…

    Looks a little bit sensational and .. very much misleading 1- The largest donor, a16z is certainly invested in Crypto, but that's a venture capital firm, not crypto firm. 2- Fairsh…

    Yes, this is actually "funny" that Anthropic feels the need to build such intrusive features into Claude Code, when anybody can build a (basic) Claude Code alternative. And the Chi…

    Maybe not when answers will be almost instant, but the biggest gap to me now is latency, not capability. Having to wait for 5 minutes and more for an answer, I can switch to anothe…

    With GPT 5.5 on the $100 plan, it's hard to hit any 5h/7d limits - while allegedly being better than DeepSeek 4 pro. Not sure why, or how you spend "a few hundred dollars of spend"…
