    They also posted on Instagram saying autonomous killing would hurt Americans. So non American people don’t matter?

    Or economic ruin, societal ruin they may cause along the way, like OpenAI.

    Call me cynical but I think designers need to occasionally break things that were already solved long ago to justify their continued relevance. Explains a lot of redesigns that mak…

    I love Tower and have paid for it for years. I can’t imagine using the git CLI now. GUIs were invented for a reason and the git CLI has terrible ergonomics and many ways to make co…

    I find the python tooling so confusing now. There’s pip, virtualenv, pipx, uv, probably half a dozen others I’m missing. I like node, npm isolates by default, npx is easy to unders…

    I've been working on a tool to add long term memory to various AI tools. It started last year as a small scratch-your-own-itch side project. After using ChatGPT Plus for a month, I…

    I think a few of the things you’ve mentioned in the ChatGPT article are hallucinations. There’s no user interaction metadata about topics, average message length etc., you asked th…

    In my experience, Qwen 3 coder has been very good for agentic coding with Cline. I tried DeepSeek v3.1 and wasn't pleased with it.

    Claude now does have a weekly limit so if you are able to hit your weekly (undisclosed, dynamic) limit in 2 days, you're unable to use the services for the next 5 days. That is wha…

    I find it interesting, how OpenAI came out with a $200 plan, Anthropic did $100 and $200, then Gemini ups it to $250, and now Grok is at $300. OpenAI is the only one that says "pra…

    I can't trust MTEB as there's been a huge difference between benchmark scores and actual performance. I made a small tool to help me compare various embedding models: https://www.v…

    API prices are way higher than actual inference cost.

    DeepInfra is amazing in terms of price, like really, they have the Qwen3 embedding model for $0.002 per mn tokens. That's an order of magnitude cheaper than most alternatives with …

    The pricing is a little on the higher side. Working on a performance-sensitive application, I tried Mercury and Groq (Llama 3.1 8b, Llama 4 Scout) and the performance was neck-and-…

    In my experience, there are areas where Gemini did well but Claude didn't, same for o1 pro or o3, but for 90% of the work, I find Claude way more trustworthy, better at following i…

    Nope, it can be even a dozen (because agentic). Claude usage limits are actually based on token usage, and Claude Code uses a mix of Haiku and Sonnet. So your limits are split amon…

    Sonnet in Copilot is crippled, Copilot agent mode is also very basic and failed every time I tried it. It would have been amazing 2 years ago, but now it's very meh. GitHub is losi…
