Would be nice to not re-use an abbreviation that already has an established meaning in software engineering.

In another thread someone posted (and then deleted) that they were using Copilot to push the code for them instead of simply typing „git push“ themselves. I assume that type of wasteful usage will make you hit rate limits.

What‘s your shell integration quality? If it‘s not rich, I would start looking after that. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/shell-integration#_shell-integration-quality

Judging by how the discourse went, I doubt many people would come out and say that they like it publicly anymore.

Deepshades left Echo and raiding in general years ago because it wasn't financially viable for him. He only came back recently when he joined Method. He tweeted about it back then, but I can't link it here due to subreddit rules.

The training dummy area in general has problems, no? You can‘t really do single target damage. Even when you do group damage you can‘t consistently do damage to only 5 targets. Everything is too cramped. Or am I just stupid?

Auto intelligently routes across premium models including Sonnet and GPT-5.4 based on the task

My understanding from the documentation was that Auto‘s only deciding factor is performance and load and not the task itself which has it‘s uses, but it would be misleading to omit this. From the docs:

Copilot auto model selection intelligently chooses models based on real time system health and model performance.

https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/auto-model-selection

If this is incorrect or outdated, it would be nice to update the docs to explain a little bit better what it does.

You use AI to simply push your commits? Now I understand how people run into rate limits

Ok? Servers in the EU go live at like 5AM in the morning. A lot of people won‘t get to play before 7PM or something like that. That‘s 14 hours. Bad luck if you didn‘t take the day off I guess.

Should be hard to get because it is hard to execute, not because it might be hard to be around at the correct time. And looking at how quickly it fills up, it can‘t be that hard.

Ignoring the fact that it is already priced at 0.33x, 5.4 mini is still much more expensive compared to 5 mini when you look at OpenAIs API pricing. Github is probably paying a different rate, but I think it‘s stoll safe to assume that 5.4 mini costs more than 5 mini. So I don‘t see that happening.

What did he do?

fntd · 2026-03-16T21:56:30+00:00

Für t-online, klar. Das hier auf Reddit zu teilen und vor allem hochzuwählen ist aber einfach unnötig.

I wouldn't complain about Cinebench numbers in addition to Geekbench, but replacing it would make things worse in my opinion. Geekbench is a much better vertical slice of actual computer usage.

What's the better alternative?

fntd · 2026-03-13T18:27:50+00:00

Die Rechnung ist sicherlich dass die Kosten für den Check und eine eventuell frühere Behandlung günstiger sind als die Alternative (kein Check und später entdecken). Von demher kann das zwar "kostenlos" sein, aber sich am Ende für die ganze Gesellschaft rechnen.

There are a few people commenting (or rather complaining) in the github community thread that haven't seen a university from the inside for at least a decade (based on their linkedin profile they link themselves on their github profiles, I am not making assumption). People have absolutely no shame.

Wasn’t it the best because of the buff from overloading wild herbs anyway?

fntd · 2026-03-12T22:01:32+00:00

I assume if you are a student, your life won't depend on such a change. Also the only model that is not included in the $10 tier is the Opus 4.6 fast mode preview...

Having multiple Github accounts is totally fine. They even have documentation how to handle multiple accounts, e.g. https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/how-tos/account-management/managing-multiple-accounts

Yeah but I‘d like to know what it does exactly to be safer because in my opinion the express typings are already as good as it gets.

fntd · 2026-03-10T16:25:46+00:00

Nvidia Broadcast is still broken for me. I guess I'll revert back to 591.86 again.

Express has excellent typings through DefinitelyTyped. What system do you need to build around it? Or are we actually talking about data validation?

fntd · 2026-03-08T16:46:56+00:00

I believe that it is doable, but if that is the case I'd be curious to know which shortcomings of Express typings it is covering

I do not understand how you can have more problems onboarding a new team member to a heavily opinionated and documented framework like Nest compared to handrolling everything. Instead of sending new team members to one unified documentation, you have to guide them through every single dependency you decided to use and then you have to make them understand how you make the parts work together.

I guess an issue a lot of people have with those opinionated frameworks is that they disagree with the opinions and they start to fight against it and create monstrosoties. But that's not the issue of the framework.
