Worth it.

Check out tern, if you get the chance. Made by the omp folk(s). Early days, but I'm finding it very nice to use.

It sounds like people have been having problems, but at least with the way I like to work sometimes, still in the weeds, and making sure that algorithms are implemented properly, Argon has been completely unmatched. It participates in my process exactly as I ask it to, doesn't run off and "solve" what I haven't asked for, spots bugs and opportunities in situations where Sol 6.1 high is entirely confused and can only contribute trash. It's the first time I have _ever_ been happy with the code quality. And I don't give two shits that it can't design a picturesque voxel pagoda -- this thing can code, and talk about it like a pro. I'm excited to try Carbon.
I think I'm supposed to do that on an issue maybe? I'll try that.
I feel like I must have missed something important, but I don't feel like I skipped anything.

It seems like everything is telling me to talk to Charlie to get setup. _How_ do I talk with Charlie?

I've encountered this as well. My multi-lingual text is different than yours.

It's Armenian and Mandarin. When asked about it, Codex will translate the Armenian, the but Mandarin causes it to go into a frenzy, repeatedly attempting to maybe perform the same task again? It will not translate it. Even if mentioned in a sentence, the frenzy begins. I tried it four or five times in a row, with conversation in between. It feels like the Manchurian Candidate or something.

In a new session, Codex is unaffected when encountering the text.

I'm into it! This looks like an experimentation platform. OpenCode is beginning to feel like handcuffs. Let me hack!
Does this do anything to resist prompt injection? It seems to me that structured exchange between an orchestrator and its single-tool-using agents would go a long way. And at the very least introduces a clear point to interrogate the payload.

But I could be wrong. Maybe someone reading knows more about this subject?

Re:High-Fidelity 3D Shape Generation on Friday January 02, 2026 @08:52AM (#46464731)
I'm super curious. Is the demo not working for anybody else?
I'm a daily OnShape user, and a big fan. Initially I was hesitant to use a web-based tool, but honestly, it's a joy to use.
Ah, I stand corrected.
Can't tell if this is a joke — the arctic is floating ice, not land.

This is a device shared by members of a household. It leaks.
Not scholarship. Sponsorship. Product representation.

How long do you think it will be before "good network speed" is available widely enough to be profitable?
The one created by the illegal drug demands of Americans?
Why exclude gang violence? The US has armed gangs.
Was your comment an argument? Looked like an opinion. Responded in kind.
That's a pretty gross way of thinking. Yuck.
How easily is that question answered?
Super interesting. Thank you.
Had no idea. Any links? (I want to feel hopeful)

I'm realizing that the loss in the system means this wouldn't make sense. Better to use existing light.
Re:Renewable Energy Is Suddenly Startlingly Cheap on Tuesday May 25, 2021 @11:48PM (#27286051)
And while I'm thinking about it (and I'm way out of my depth here), but sunlight is a lot more powerful than growlights, is it not? Could power be siphoned to an extent, to supplement growth?
Re:Renewable Energy Is Suddenly Startlingly Cheap on Tuesday May 25, 2021 @11:41PM (#27286007)
Could there be a balance?

Some grasses grow with partial light. With the right inter-panel spacing, could it be that a grazing animal might require more space, but not to an unreasonable degree? (I assume there are other considerations for the pasture...ease of finding the animals, moving them around, etc)

And three positions inside the company seems about right as well.
I agree with you. I also found it to be at the limit of my scary tolerance.

...but I also sort of liked that. :)

HL:A was one of the first games I played on VR, and teleport was a necessity.

Now I can handle smooth locomotion, but at the time it'd make my stomach lurch.

Did you try Half-Life: Alyx? It was incredible, imho. I can't stop going back to it.
