robotswantdata··on Introducing Stargate UK
Why not have this located in northern Scotland taking advantage of the surplus wind power being wasted due to north-south grid capacity, instead it’s likely going to be powered by gas generators.

In general the UK government talks growth but so far has delivered anti growth. Tech outsourcing seems to have really picked up since the NI changes.

Do not let Gemini CLI write code for you. You will find out the hard way

Codex cli Vscode extension https://developers.openai.com/codex/ide
robotswantdata··on Addendum to GPT-5 system card: GPT-5-Codex
saw the same behaviour

What worked was getting it to first write a detailed implementation plan for a “junior contractor” then attempt it in phases (clearing task window each time) and told to use /tmp to copy files and transform them then update the original.

Looking forward to trying the new model out on the next refactor!

Agreed ditched my Claude code max for the $200 pro ChatGPT.

Gemini cli is too inconsistent, good for documentation tasks. Don’t let it write code for you

None yet, feels unlimited. Huge repos too
robotswantdata··on GPT-5-Codex
You could get two plus accounts? Or maybe a business account with two seats?

The $200 pro feels good value personally.

Yes for at least a month. Download the vscode extension and sign in with ChatGPT
robotswantdata··on GPT-5-Codex
Codex CLI IDE just works, very impressed with the quality. If you tried it a while back and didn’t like it, try it again via the vscode extension generous usage included with plus.

Ditched my Claude code max sub for the ChatGPT pro $200 plan. So much faster, and not hit any limits yet.

robotswantdata··on SpaCy: Industrial-Strength Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python
SpaCy is the OG, nothing but praise for the devs. Built a lot of very powerful legal apps with it pre GPT , very useful today for NER where you want something “small”, fast and reliable.

Used it again recently and the dev experience is 1000x that of wrangling LLMs.

robotswantdata··on Ask HN: What do you dislike about ChatGPT and what needs improving?
Give us an easy way to imitate our writing voice / style.

robotswantdata··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)
New “AI in a box” product, can run the big models I.e. DeepSeek-R1-0528 etc. comparatively cheap, fast and just works. Our build partner is big on sustainability, considering a return to upgrade option.

Likely will do a prosumer SKU, will be faster and cheaper than the Mac Studio equivalent.

robotswantdata··on Ask HN: Will MCP replace GUI interacting with back end via RESTful APIs?
MCP will likely end up locked behind an enterprise contract in the way we see SSO treated today. So no, GUI continues
