I haven't. That would be a completely different app which I'm not interested in working on, I'm afraid.
> Maybe that part of the article needs further editing?

Yes, I should edit it. I had not though about the bulk download until another user on Mastodon suggested it to me.

> Also, if the data of your tool is now available under ODbL, then the tasks related to importing it into OSM can be effectively performed by anyone, not necessarily you.

Definitely. I would be more than glad if libraries which are not on OSM were added back, I just don't have the required spare time to go through all the process and also maintain it.

Hello folks, author of Book Corners here. I just made the whole libraries db available for download (it's OBDL licensed).

It's available from every users dashboard (it's a ~2 MB compressed GeoJSON file). It includes both libraries orignally imported from OSM and additional libraries added by users.

While I still think the whole OSM process to submit back is a bit too much for the time I have available (but I still understand and respect), at least I want to give users an additional option to retrieve the data (in addition to the public API).

If you have any other advices, I will be glad to hear them and, compatibly with my spare time, I will try to implement them (if they make sense and are useful for users) :)

Thanks

Re:Anthropic takes legal action against OpenCode on Thursday March 19, 2026 @05:22PM (#47446356)
You mean their tool (I use it daily) is so bad despite all the data they collect?
And it's exactly what I was trying to do manually :D I accept the limit and say that probably doing a video game is not for me, but it's nice that a solution exists.
Context: I've been using agents (both Claude Code and Codex) for my daily work and for personal projects, but always in domains where I had some knowledge and I'm currently happy with them.

I tried using Claude Code to build an RPG game with Godot and GDScript, using free to use assets: a total failure :/

The game was supposed to be many implementation steps long but I asked Claude to first produce a one area demo, so I could test the assets and choose the one I liked. First it produced some garbage using the assets randomly. Then it tried to copy from an existing demo but it had not idea where a door or a path were and at a certain point it even admitted it with something like: "I can't design an usable and nice area: I either make it functional and ugly or I copy and adapt the existing demo but I will have no clue about what is what"

I've never even attempted to develop games before so I'm sure I don't even know the basic concepts, but this use case definitely didn't work for me.

Maybe it could generate the code of the game if I provided the full design?

Question: how can you find the exact session you are looking for, among hundreds of them? I had a look at my ~/.claude/projects/*/ and I couldn't even find my last session.
Re:Elevated Errors in Claude.ai on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @02:12AM (#47229158)
I must have missed something: why are people moving from OpenAI? Since they released gpt-5.3-codex I'be been using it and claude with opus-4.6 and Codex has always been better, more accurate, less prone to allucinations. I can do more with a 20$ OpenAI pland than with a Claude Max 100
I haven't experiences this with gpt-5.3-codex (xhigh) for example. Opus/Sonnet usually work well when just released, then they degrade quite regularly. I know the prompts are not the same every day or even across the day, but if the type of problems are always the same (at least in my case) and a model starts doing stupid things, then it means something is wrong. Everyone I know who uses Claude regularly, usually have the same esperience whenever I notice they degrade.
I suspect you may not be writing code regularly... If I have to ask Claude the same things three times and it keeps saying "You are right, now I've implemented it!" and the code is still missing 1 out of 3 things or worse, then I can definitely say the model has become worse (since this wasn't happening before).
No, it's not the first time their models degrade for some time.
They haven't asked me yet (my subscription is from work with a business/team plan). Probably my conversations as too boring
No offense taken here :)

First, we are not talking about a cheap service here. We are talking about a monthly subscription which costs 100 USD or 200 USD per month, depending on which plan you choose.

Second, it's like selling me a pizza and pretending I only eat it while sitting at your table. I want to eat the pizza at home. I'm not getting 2-3 more pizzas, I'm still getting the same pizza others are getting.

It is (slower), especially at xhigh setting. But if I have to redo things three times, keep confirming trivial stuff (Claude Code seems to keep changing the commands it uses to read code... once it uses "bash-read", once it uses "tree", once it uses "head" and I have to keep confirming permission), I definitely waste more time than give a command to codex (or in my case OpenCode + codex model) and come back after 10 minutes.
I'm only waiting for OpenAI to provide an equivalet ~100 USD subscription to entirely ditch Claude.

Opus has gone down the hill continously in the last week (and before you start flooding with replies, I've been testing opus/codex in parallel for the last week, I've plenty of examples of Claude going off track, then apologising, then saying "now it's all fixed!" and then only fixing part of it, when codex nailed at the first shot).

I can accept specific model limits, not an up/down in terms of reliability. And don't even let me get started on how bad Claude client has become. Others are finally catching up and gpt-5.3-codex is definitely better than opus-4.6

Everyone else (Codex CLI, Copilot CLI etc...) is going opensource, they are going closed. Others (OpenAI, Copilot etc...) explicitly allow using OpenCode, they explicitly forbid it.

This hostile behaviour is just the last drop.

Jump here, you can see Lucca (as we say in Italy, more or less..)
Re:Slack CLI for Agents (OSS) on Monday February 09, 2026 @02:22AM (#46942501)
same! I personally released a couple of CLIs (written using Claude Code) which I regularly use for my work: logbasset (to access Scalyr logs) and sentire (to access Sentry issues). I never use them manually, I wrote them to be used well by LLMs. I think they are lighter compared to an MCP.
You can opt out. It’s written quit quite clearly

Ok, so it's not just me. I was just struggling to assign a PR to a couple of colleagues and select a label (on a M2 Pro with 32 GB RAM!)
