    1 in 3 is not terrible you just need a few more humans in the loop to reduce the error rate meaningfully. Combined with other classifier models and heuristics you can get good resu…

    But fables is often worth diving into at least. Opus 5 says this and then rambles on about something completely irrelevant or even wrong

    tbh AI is great at vague strategic decision making with a low risk bias. I wouldn't mind working for Claude

    huh? because im curious what they used? Claude Code and codex take completely different approaches. The core loop of feeding generation and having a bash tool is entirely the same.…

    How did you build your own coding agent? What language/framework did you use?

    It used to be that DevOps was the movement of merging Ops leftwards so that Devs own the Operation of their software.

    And that doesn't work with a simple prompt?

    Can you give an example? And more curious about what you do with the resulting code afterwards I imagine its gonna be a big chunk then?

    Is this useful? I feel like the problem is usually not that the model isn't capable of achieving what I give it, but the way it does it. Especially if originally I didn't 100% know…

    Until the classifier is wrong or also prompt injected. the classifier is just as vulnerable as the model itself is. Yes it is harder to break but trying to make a nondeterministic …

    But a pixel is quite a bit more expensive no? At that point you can consider an iPhone?

    Sad I have a 6 year old oneplus and was looking for a new phone somewhat soon, would've considered them again for sure. Any alternatives? They always had a reputation for me for be…

    I mean it might lead to better performance on the model side. So the tokenizer is better but more expensive.

    Aside of the claudeisms and the obvious AI smell, it overexplains everything and doesn't come to any useful conclusions. It's just not a good post. The nudge to think about both "t…

    Apparently not? At least our it guy said after 150 people or so you have to pay for enterprise which is pay per token for everyone.

    Not including their best model in a max subscription would otherwise be truly a good reason for once to consider going back to openai for me. I'll at least try it.

    It's great software in the sense that it makes a shit ton of money though. In the end software that doesn't get used and doesn't make any money but has no bugs is not valuable eith…

    Shorter sessions more often doing a /clear etc. save a shit ton of tokens. I pay 100 bucks a month but barely use 30% of it most weeks.

    I mean if you have an idea or project that convinces you its worth to found a company, a thousand bucks is not a great hinderance. If the 1000 bucks are a hinderance you probably s…
