Re:Claude Haiku 5.5 on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @02:12PM (#49996607)
The monthly API credits for Max plan seems fantastic, especially considering Haiku pricing. Being able to actually use my Claude plan for other harnesses and use-cases on top of regular CC usage is everything I wanted.

Anthropic has really been doing all the right things in the past few weeks, while OpenAI continues to fumble the bag.

Re:GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @03:07PM (#49898771)
Just got access in Codex, looking forward to trying it out. Opus 5.5 has blown me away with what it's capable of doing, hopefully 6.1 will actually be a worthwhile contender.

Excited to tryout Decisions API as well.

Re:I Switched to Brave Browser on Monday September 28, 2026 @12:29PM (#49880575)
Brave has the best filter lists built into a blocker. Between Bypass Paywalls Clean Filters and Brave Experimental Adblock rules for blocking twitch.tv ads, it's just the best option for most people.

Giving away Brave Origin for free on Linux is just the cherry on top.

Re:I Switched to Brave Browser on Monday September 28, 2026 @12:26PM (#49880533)
It's $60 for other platforms but free for Linux

The madlads finally did it, now if only I could use my Claude sub in other harnesses without risking getting banned.

Re:Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root on Sunday August 30, 2026 @01:22PM (#49500689)
Well the whole point is to have a good foundation and then make it actually yours, and the only necessary key binds are probably SUPER+K for the key bind cheatsheet and SUPER+SPACE for the menu.

Also the community is large so there's usually someone that has already had your issue and resolved it. The amount of themes and plugins are growing everyday.

A bare arch+hyprland install really feels terrible to use and has a much larger barrier to entry than Omarchy.

Re:GLM-5.3-Flash on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @11:31AM (#49450918)
Well, Luna debuted with 5x higher pricing than is currently available. With the pace of recent development these models might not be relevant by Thanksgiving.
Re:GLM-5.3-Flash on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @11:24AM (#49450812)
Only 73K output tokens too. Anthropic should really be embarrassed with their Sonnet 5 price/performance.
There's a lot of brand confusion among the American models right now. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemma, OpenAI, Meta, Google, Muse Spark, Anthropic, Microsoft, Gemini. We might know the difference (or I should say, someone does because I'm losing track already) but these models have no chance at end user penetration and loyalty until there's a single focused survivor.

It took me a year talking about it until my wife knew that Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 are two different things.

Re:OpenLogi on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @01:01AM (#49357059)
Seriously, I wonder how many tokens are generated (wasted) every day on someone recreating another agent memory, context management, code graph, etc.

I can’t wait until Qwen 4.5 27B or Gemma 5.

this seem disingenuous, seems like his company just is the natural evolution of companies having phising attack simulation training.
>And can SOMEONE please tell artificialanalysis that using dark blue for both Deepseek AND OpenAI is an especially unfortunate choice of colors, especially today?

uhh openai is dark gray: `rgb(31, 31, 31)` and i'm pretty sure it always has been?

Re:Using an open model feels surprisingly good on Tuesday July 28, 2026 @01:30AM (#49079774)
Is there any resource or benchmark actually comparing how different harnesses perform with a given model?

Really just feels like endless FOMO with how fast the iteration cycle is for harness and model development.

Re:Costco Is the Anti-Amazon on Saturday July 04, 2026 @12:38PM (#48786737)
Don't know what I would do without Instacart.

Closest Costco is 1 hour on a bus or 22 minutes/9 miles driving. The Wegman's that delivers to me is 40 minutes/26 miles driving, all for a like 10-20% fee on every item. Honestly I'm surprised more people don't use it considering how much time they waste going to these places, and how much more they spend by walking through the stores in person. Sometimes I'll get the receipt and the price will be more than what I paid after delivery fee/tip.

I'm sad the 80$ for 100$ Instacart giftcard deal at Costco is gone. And the $2 off scheduled delivery. At least uber eats/doordash/walmart+/whole foods keeps this market competitive. Wonder how much trader joe's would make if they turned on deliveries?

Re:Previewing GPT‑5.6 Sol: a next-generation model on Friday June 26, 2026 @05:57PM (#48692498)
This past month with Claude Max 5x actually felt really generous in terms of usage with a lot of resets because of Fable, bugs.

Honestly pretty similar levels of usage if you are using 5.5 high or Opus 4.8 high.

I think they just got rid of the separate Sonnet usage on Max plans (in preparation for Sonnet 5?) which is unfortunate because it made subagent workflows really feels nearly unlimited.

Re:Previewing GPT‑5.6 Sol: a next-generation model on Friday June 26, 2026 @03:12PM (#48690722)
Did GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra decide the terrible colors for the benchmark graphs?

Just updated to see if I could make a shortcut to toggle `Reduced White Point` accessibility shortcut.

"Try describing something different for the shortcut."

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it still doesn't work.

Finally, I hope this works well. Personally one of the worst things to deal with.

Seriously, it's honestly pathetic at how little Microsoft and Apple have pushed UX in the past two decades.

Something like quickshell-overview feels so smooth and delicious compared to the painful use of virtual desktops on Windows/MacOS.

Is it a coincidence that 4.7 was seemingly quantized over past 7 days?

Re:Omarchy Is Not A Distro on Sunday May 24, 2026 @01:02PM (#48259015)
The new quickshell based omarchy shell is pretty excellent foundation already, I’m very excited for it to be released on omarchy 4.0.

Omarchy really has excellent defaults and generally development is always moving in the right direction.

Re:Google's Antigravity Bait and Switch on Friday May 22, 2026 @01:59AM (#48232520)
Quota for flash 3.5 is terrible, they just reduced quotas once again. $20 plan gives you 4x usage, previously it was 33x.

I get significantly more usage from $20 Claude plan using only Opus 4.7 - but at least the google plan gives me 5TB of storage now.

There was an update to tool calling 3 days ago. I haven't tested it myself but hope it helps.

I mean, just setup redirector extension and never think about it again.

NVIDIA driver progress has been massive over the past year, I wouldn’t consider it much less stable/supported than AMD cards.
It does seem like that is the most important feature for Elon since he's a lonely degen.
