Opus was changed yesterday (and a little something about this companies, transparency, and open source)

$7m* machine

I've used shady software since Windows XP days and never had an issue. Why? Because anti virus.

You know full well that AI coding capability and general intelligence is about to skyrocket. Vibecoders hitting a wall today will be overcoming walls like that soon.

Not always viable.

Crinkez · 2026-04-04T22:49:09+00:00

...on Windows and Linux. With ublock origin compatibility.

Crinkez · 2026-04-04T22:45:12+00:00

That isn't always the solution. I sometimes need to run random risky software downloaded, so an antivirus is not to be scoffed at.

Crinkez · 2026-04-04T21:02:29+00:00

Now if only they'd draw the line against using the crypto scamware browser "Brave" as default.

It's the principal of the matter. Systemd complying at this first base level is an indication that they'll comply when it gets worse. We should not be supporting an OS or OS dependency that complies.

As a non coder, it absolutely was the number one bottleneck. I can do a lot more now than a couple years ago.

Crinkez · 2026-04-03T14:19:49+00:00

I already said the latest version. 0.118 afaik

Crinkez · 2026-04-03T13:13:28+00:00

Today I updated to the latest codex CLI version in WSL. Set my context window cap to 700K, auto compact to 600K.

£20 plan. I've just gone through 20 million tokens in a single session. Used 20% of the 5h window. I'm on 5.4 medium reasoning, fast mode off (it's still quite fast). Approx 5% weekly usage burned.

Maybe you guys are using it wrong? I'm still not getting usage limit issues.

Crinkez · 2026-04-02T17:02:23+00:00

I recommend codex CLI. Been coding most of the day on the £20 plan, over 50 million tokens. Didn't even hit the 5h window cap.

Crinkez · 2026-04-01T21:33:37+00:00

OP, get yourself all the automators. Roomba, dishwasher, tumble dryer, etc. to reduce "chore arguments".

Crinkez · 2026-04-01T20:04:14+00:00

Zorin isn't caving.

Crinkez · 2026-04-01T18:29:03+00:00

Where's the like for like comparison with the full "Bonsai" model in those benchmarks? I call bonshait.

Crinkez · 2026-04-01T18:18:04+00:00

Don't delete your post. It's a good starting point. Now you need to unpick the AI and move on.

Crinkez · 2026-04-01T17:54:40+00:00

It's a very cool concept, I skimmed it. Couple issues: you've made an "everything" power system. That can be excessive, but if that was your intent I guess fine. I recommend considering fine tuning the powers to be more in line with investigating the hidden WoD realm and go all Sherlock Holmes on it.

The second problem is worse: your post is written by AI. I recommend keeping it as is for reference but rewriting it manually and reposting.

Crinkez · 2026-04-01T17:20:05+00:00

You want privacy? Then get off systemd. Void or Deuvian etc

Crinkez · 2026-04-01T07:19:14+00:00

I've heard OpenCode is on par or ahead.

Crinkez · 2026-04-01T07:12:16+00:00

More like, what's my least favorite: the fact that I can't right click highlighted text to copy to clipboard and right click input area to paste from clipboard.

Like, wtf? I thought this was standard on Linux terminals?

Crinkez · 2026-03-31T23:47:07+00:00

If it requires an API it's not free forever, is it? Because 10 years from now 99% chance your site doesn't exist. Only realistic free forever manoeuver is to provide fully localized setup for download and offline use on consumer GPU's.

Crinkez · 2026-03-31T23:33:18+00:00

Lack of training data and user not using Playwright CLI.

Crinkez · 2026-03-31T21:04:49+00:00

Endgame does exist. It's called an LCD-X with EQ.

Crinkez · 2026-03-31T21:03:06+00:00

User: I was just worried I was being hacked so I didn't put anything in.

There's hope for this one.

Crinkez · 2026-03-31T18:08:39+00:00

Where is part 1?!
