He's talking about learning that makes you operational. If you can speak with someone, then you've learned language. If you can get a computer to do something, then you've learned …

Ok, I agree with the sentiment. You shouldn't solve for problems you don't have yet, especially since with AI it's easier to refactor.

It's not about prettiness. It's about being harder to extend thus making future adaptations harder.

I've had the same experience but at the same time I also find Sol's answers in conversation longer.

This helps because the ELI5 was too general. To me at least.

High Fast? I don't see that option in my Codex. I only have 3 models: 5.4-mini, 5.4 and 5.5, each with 4 levels: low, medium, high, extra high.

I've only had that happen with Chinese models until now. Interesting that Fable is doing it too.

Curious, which model do you use for Codex? I'm very happy with the solutions '5.5 high' finds. It's like it understands exactly what I mean and it also anticipates all sorts of sit…

That's a good salary, better than Romania on average. And if you also have lower prices (at least that's what I heard), even better then.

I'm also unemployed. So far the models that I've used the most are Kimi and GLM. I haven't done that much agentic coding though, I've mostly used them for studying math and general…

There's DeepInfra. There's also OpenRouter where you can find several providers.

I thought it was determined (slight pun) that free will is not a thing. I'm referring to Sapolsky's book "Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will)" as an example.

In case you don't know, Gemini 2.5 flash is hosted on DeepInfra. They also have 1.5 flash but not 2.0 flash. I have no affiliation with DeepInfra. I use them, because they host ope…

I use ChatGPT and Claude on OpenRouter, because it's just easier than buying credits on each platform separately.

by keeping the how part a secret

I wonder, how does a Julius perceive another Julius, as another competent worker? What about a non-Julius then?

* It's cheaper than proprietary models * Maybe you don't want to have your conversations used for training. The providers listed on OpenRouter mention whether they do that or not.

I had started using it again through Open WebUI. If it's gone, I'll probably switch to GLM-4.7 completely.

I'm mostly the same, I don't watch movies twice. But there are exceptions. Some movies are just beautiful or I like how they make me feel, so I want to rewatch them. Groundhog Day …

Maybe you would, if you bought it.

How I interpret his comment about the distance: The benefit of switching from C/C++ to Rust is higher than switching from C++ to Go (in the similar use-cases) or from Java to Kotli…

When I started learning Haskell, it did feel like coding with a straightjacket.

I would never expect a Western European country to not accept Visa and Mastercard. I say this as an Eastern European. But I do remember that in Germany (and Austria) it's not that …

I wasn't sure how encipher is in Romanian (it's not common), it's "a cifra". The infinitive in Romanian puts "a" in front of the verb, so it's very close to Spanish.

In Romanian: - cifru -> cipher - cifră -> digit
