No, they're just a troll.

From the essay - not presented in agreement (I'm still undecided), but Dario's opinion is probably the most relevant here: > My co-founders at Anthropic and I were among the first to docu…

What? What does the behaviour of one random open-source contributor submitting to a downstream fork have to do with the Wine team? Their post describing their troubles is all procedural, nothing socia…

There's nothing stopping you from using OpenCode with any other provider, including Anthropic: you just can't get the subsidised pricing while doing so. This is irritating, yes - it certai…

It sounds like you're using LLMs directly, instead of a coding agent. Agents are capable of testing their own code and using that to fix issues, which is what makes them so powerful. Using Claude…

That's not inaccurate. You can still use all of those providers: you just need to pay API costs, instead of reusing your subscription.

I'll be honest; I'm pretty sure this "mistake" will be completely forgotten by the next month. Their enforcing that their subscription only works with their product should not real…

Oh, huh, being able to convert arbitrary websites that may use JS for rendering to Markdown could be very handy indeed. Thanks for the tip!

I don't think a fight with the Federal Reserve will stop ICE from murdering civilians.

...is Gentoo large and influential these days? As far as I'm aware, its current cultural status is that of a punchline, but I'm open to being corrected.

You cannot stop someone from running llama-server -m glm-4.7.gguf on their own hardware. That is the argument: even if all the AI companies go bust and the datacenters explode, the technology has been…

The VSCode terminal seems buggy with complex TUI applications in my experience; I had to use the Gemini CLI in a separate terminal because it was brutally slow in the VSC terminal. That being said, th…

Agreed, although perhaps not as strongly; I remember seeing these comments from a few days ago, so I was feeling a little gaslit seeing the new timestamps and wondered if I'd hallucinated the ori…

comment
After a while, you just don't write code that would cause substantial borrow-checker problems, even when prototyping. I'd say the slow compile times are much more of an impediment for a prac…
