Thank you!

> same approach of casually spending a few million on agentic computation is going to solve end to end materials design or drug development."

you're not actually spending that money. it's sunk cost, as you already bought the hardware. at least for the big pharmaceutical companies for drug development. then you run your own local model, trained on special data, with special etc, etc... to the end of buying GPUs for what, 3.5-6.5M/rack or so (GB300 NVL72, Google AI summary pricing quote) becomes a bargain (vs the double digit billions you need to spend on a new drug R&D).

ZDR is a thing. extremely large companies with a lot of IP rights use GPT/Claude without issues.

They could have used an enterprise or team subscription with ZDR.

that's clear, of course. but I can't just use claude/codex cli, as it needs to see the platform emulator (android/iOS), does it not? so it's cowork?

_zoltan_··on Claude Session URL appended to commit messages and PR descriptions by default
I read the summary which for me focuses on intent: What's the current state, why it's not good, what is being changed and how, and then look at performance numbers.

Then I read the code but only after it got scrutinized by pr review skills on multiple models and those feedback got marked completed by the author.

He isn't talking about ultra mode which you are.

He said "ultrafast" which has nothing to do with subagents. It's a new API tier where it runs on a different inference backend to get you faster token/s.

_zoltan_··on Claude Session URL appended to commit messages and PR descriptions by default
hard disagree. I'm not gonna read the session log, and I don't care for it at all.

as for the commit message: if it's the usual verbose Claude style, I'm also not going to read it. to be honest, probably if it's not verbose, I'm still not reading it.

I'll ask my review agent anyway to summarize your code. My review agent will read your commit message.

_zoltan_··on Why some US restaurants are banning tips
around 3 to 5 CHF, depending on the place, and what kind of coffee you want to drink.

remember, this is Europe - the coffee is not made the same nor looks or tastes the same as you get in the US. it's mind boggling to me that people get a 16oz "cup of coffee", black.

_zoltan_··on Why some US restaurants are banning tips
in Switzerland we almost never tip.
