    That's cool. I often write tiny blurbs of kotlin just to test out a simple algorithm. I often do this on kotlin playground because doing so inside a scratch file or test is somehow…

    I had the same sentiment. In my limited testing, it didn't perform any better than Opus at all. It wasn't a particularly challenging taskset either, mostly just "add this simple fe…

    That's what stood out to me as well, and it struck me as odd that nobody seemed to think it's odd? Almost half of the points to be made is related to contributions to open source p…

    That's what I mean with the promise. Nobody knows what they're doing on their end. The data goes over the wire, and then you need to assume they are true to their word and the data…

    It is. Not per sé because the code might be of poor quality, but because someone sent that source code to a public API under the promise that oh noooo we won't use your code for tr…

    Yeah the slowness is what always gets me. Like in essence a ticketing system isn't more than just a database of tickets and relations between tickets and states. And okay you can k…

    I'm honestly not really that surprised by that. All (except clothes) are prime examples of products where you don't really care who sells it to you and how it looks in the packagin…

    Yeah especially the AI stuff is so... not a driving force for anyone to buy this? For me, unless you can run LLM's and whatnot locally (which is not the case on this undisclosed lo…

    I'm super techy but I admit that I just use Signal to send me a "Note to self" whenever I need a file from my phone on my computer quickly. For images I just use immich, but textin…

    Yup! All good ideas and solutions to hard problems, after becoming stuck, have come to me after a good night's sleep or after removing myself from the "thinking place" and taking a…

    Haha I got "for you, turquoise is green" and I was like... Yeah, is it not?

    Has it, though? There's still features that bring large user value and require 10 lines of code, and features that bring a small user value and require AI to burn tokens on huge re…

    Well good for you, but that doesn't change the fact that I can't use it. Everything is a mishmash of the old Assistant and Gemini. Sometimes even my Google Home answers in the old …

    Well. Running your machine to do inference will utilize more than 50W sustained load, I'd say more than double that. Plus electricity is more expensive here (but granted, I do have…

    Comment #47665424

    Haha yeah. I once asked it to make a field in an API response nullable, and to gracefully handle cases where that might be an issue (it was really easy, I was just lazy and could h…

    I was thinking the same. Plagiarism as a service, lol

    I'm growing allergic to the hype train and the slop. I've watched real-life talks about people that sent some prompt to Claude Code and then proudly present something mediocre that…

    I doubt it. I noticed a few of these comments too on our PR's. We did ask copilot for a review ton GitHub (we just add copilot as a reviewer) but not through Raycast.

    On top of that, that page took 10 seconds to load. On a Gbit network connection, lol

    Maybe n=1, but I disagree? I notice that Sonnet 4.6 follows instructions much better than 4.5 and it generates code much closer to our already in-place production code. It's just a…

    Haha yeah I've had this happen to me too (inside copilot on GitHub). I ask it to make a field nullable, and give it some pointers on how to implement that change. It just decided h…

    In my limited experience, that's mostly since the 4.6 release. I noticed that with the same prompt, it answers much more briefly. A bit jarring indeed, but I prefer it. Less bs and…

    Even (uncommon) country TLD's too. I own a .vg domain which is a perfect match with the initials of my last name. My mails end up in spam quite often too, despite having set up SPF…

    So, what you're saying is that Google should work on better privacy controls. Right? Right???

    I'm talking about Gemini in the app and on the web. As well as AI studio. At work we go through Copilot, but there the agentic mode with Gemini isn't the best either.
