Can it catch Trump?

So he includes Go in a list of languages that apparently makes development slow and have “a build system that fought you” and then says python was the solution for all that. I think he got it backwards. I have found the Python build system horrific and broken by default while Go just works.

Why we have discussions about sexual orientation on programming languages? Could this really go any worse?

Cloud providers have incentives to release open source models but for some reasons this happens only in China. Amazon, Azure, Google benefit from open source models because people run them on their hardware.

So there must be a big story for the IPO….Remember that Tesla is still not selling actual/real self driving cars. I would say stock wise it would worth it to gable b/c Tesla did so well but SpaceX is being IPO-ed as it would have already have datacenters in space and ride hailing to Mars

Next year there will be Opus 4.5 level available on open source models so theoretically you may be able to run it locally but in reality it will be too expensive (i.e maybe 2 x max Studio 512GB ram each) for “normal” users.

I never felt Gemini was ever better than the OpenAI or Anthropic. I think it’s more on par with open source models than the top 2

I must admit that I’ve tried python in my early days and indentation was the main reason why I just didn’t pursue the language further. It felt just brittle and hard to read. Of course if I had be forced I would have probably managed to master it but I had the freedom to use whatever I wanted as programming language and python was just not an attractive option.(despite being seduced by its “zen” and all that. Felt like form over function design.

The “build”/run/deploy system was the other major issue. All the python versions, virtual env etc seemed like a mess. A compiled language is so much better(I.e Go, Rust etc) IMHO.

Does it have the indentation thing? That would be a no go for a lot of people

Maybe you shouldn’t drive that day. Tesla is not FSD. In case there is an accident you are the one responsible. Looking on a photo of your dog while Tesla is ramming into someone? Your day just got worse

A FSD vehicle is not supposed to require you to keep the hands on the wheel and be prepared at anytime to take over control. I would say Waymo has a FSD mode while Tesla has a death trap mode with its customers as the beta test drivers.

But eBay is just bad company with a bad reputation. Why would they buy it instead something like Etsy or make their own thing? If you would ask me what are the worst companies from the “old guard” I would name eBay and PayPal as prime suspects.

it does care about human rights but of course the national interest is first otherwise why they didn’t just support dictatorships in South Korea, West Germany, Japan, Taiwan etc ? The U.S is not great but is the best alternative. China, Russia and pretty bad because they don’t have freedom not even for their own people

I think now it would be confused with the lgb** flags

Little she knows that if she uses the “self driving” from Tesla she may get into a death trap.

Whether is a pretext or not is less important. I don’t mind if the U.S is overthrowing a dictatorship for his own interests while using democracy and human rights as a pretext if at least is trying to enforce a human rights and democracy agenda once the new gov and usually U.S does it with more or less success.

You can’t really expect people to go to war with no national interest. I think for a while democracy was more than a pretext as it helped the U.S keep away communism from its own shores.

the golden visas were banned in the EU last year https://amp.dw.com/en/eu-citizenship-no-longer-for-sale/a-72...

No, they just stop accepting immigrants.

Everything I do is json and of course you want that json in a specific format so that you can process it further.

They still don’t support json schema or batch api. It’s like deepseek does not want to make money

Not really. They realised they acted too soon. Give them some time until the market “consolidates” and they will change again their policy. Why would they want someone else to develop competing clients?

I don’t get why people are so surprised. Didn’t they learn anything from Twitter APIs and the like. The APIs are open as long as they serve the short term problem then Anthropic builds the features people actually use (more or less) and ban the usage of APIs for competing clients

But why would you want it to converse like a human? What I need is concise information not a buddy to talk to. If anything I see it as a feature

Codex is just better than Claude but Claude is faster and has the better UI for vscode. That’s why I use Claude as main coder with codex(5.4 with xhigh effort) as mcp reviewer etc. It is clear to me that codex is a better programmer but the UI and speed are too much of a con to use it exclusively. Claude is just clumsy

The world would barely notice if both OpenAI and Anthropic “fail”. There is a lot of competition in this space

what makes gpt 5.4 bad to chat ? To me it seems smart and does the job albeit it’s a bit slow. I’m using it only/mostly with the “pro” /xhigh reasoning

In reality you are always on a time budget that is correlated with the output of the software you develop.(I.e is it worth it your time?) I’ve found out that the most important thing is to get feedback early even from yourself using whatever software you develop. If you develop a small effort piece of software you can ship it before other stuff is starting to compete for your time. But if it takes a year or more before even you can make any use of it I guarantee you that the chances of shipping it diminishes significantly. Other stuff competes for your time(I.e family, other hobbies etc).

It’s not always about money. It’s also about the time of the developer. Even for a hobby project you may burn out before to actually deliver it.

I think they will settle that Iran won’t reuse whatever they have of that nuclear fuel if the U.S drops the nukes on the Iranian nuclear sites. Iran may also think twice before rejecting a deal in which they agree to not acquire a nuclear weapon.

And is true about the nukes
