Re:In LLM era, can software startup survive? on Monday November 02, 2026 @06:17AM (#50335410)
They don't need the AI excuse, they did it just fine before.
You will at least need to use LLM's to check for your manually introduced inconsistencies and security problems, like we see right now in kernels and libraries we considered peak of human achievement.

If an LLM can spot those better than a human, I'd wager it can write code without introducing them in the first place.

And then regretting it shortly after.

The tech is not there yet. It may not be ready for many years.

Re:ChatGPT and Codex usage limits merging on Sunday November 01, 2026 @03:17PM (#50329323)
How many gigabytes can you download from your broadband connection? Often they call it unlimited, yet it's fair use and the provider decides what's okay and what's abuse.

What's your guaranteed down and upload speed? The ISP's usually guarantee far lower speeds than they advertise.

Token subscriptions are not really a completely novel concept.

how could the government control the birds without using bridges as antennas?!
Sometimes the risk is acceptable, sometimes it's not.

Don't confuse Open Source with an enshittification backdoor with Free Software.

No, and i don't feel bad about it.

Is zero-runtime CSS-in-JS an oxymoron?

Are you asking the same question to emacs users?
More likely it depends on the overall load of the infrastructure.
Openshift is just k8s with bells and whistles.

I call bullshit until the guy from the "what's going on with shipping" YouTube channel confirms it.
You are deep in it.

You may be larping for no additional benefit vs just using Opus 5.5 and just asking it to implement a feature.

Authoritarian communism is not a race.

Just because a compiler binary compiles program A without a backdoor, it does not prove it won't add a backdoor to program B.

In a legal fight of printers VS AI behemoths, my money is on the ruthless printer mafia.

Maybe they'll release a 32/64 GB version once they have harvested the whales.

So it's not something for me, but like everything Microsoft makes, it's for our BOFH's who will torment us with yet another corporate compliance machine.

Yeah, better pay higher margin API prices. That'll show them!

Uhuh, sure. We are holding the AGI wrong.
Are you implying that not voting will somehow lead to a better solution?

Voting increasingly less corrupt options(as good as we can judge) is the way. What else can you do?

The "everyone does it" defense is how the worst of the worst get away with it.
Re:OpenAI halved the allowance of the $200 plan to 10x on Thursday October 01, 2026 @07:25AM (#49920294)
Previously, you got a magical free money bonus on the $200 sub.

Plus costs 20.

Pro 5x costs 100, and gives 5x Plus usage.

Pro 20x was 200, and previously gave 20x Plus usage, for a 10x difference. Magical free money, wee.

Of course it had to end.

It makes it easy to imagine how people made up Gods to explain the magnificence.
Re:Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet? on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @11:56AM (#49910637)
Truth be told, I never used the feedback function because of the clauses that reference the functionality in connection with training/service improvement.
Re:Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet? on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @10:53AM (#49909829)
If contracts didn't matter, sure I guess.
Re:Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet? on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @09:34AM (#49908730)
There is a difference.

Using feedback on your sessions makes that session, and presumably all attached data, fair game for training.

Re:Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet? on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @09:30AM (#49908681)
Reddit cross contamination. Over there it's a rite of passage to accept it as a fact.
Re:Sonnet 5.5 on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @07:24AM (#49891389)
Like Netflix, in the past we got the full release on day 1.
