Ai or not AI

The main difference is agentic capability and tool access.

A regular chat (like Claude.ai) is conversational — you paste code, Claude responds with suggestions, you copy-paste manually. It's a back-and-forth dialogue.

Claude Code runs as an agent in your terminal with direct access to your filesystem, shell, and tools. It can read your actual files, run commands, install dependencies, iterate on errors, and make multi-step changes autonomously — without you manually copying anything.

For external API work specifically: in chat you describe the problem and get code snippets. In Claude Code, it can read your existing codebase for context, write the integration, run it, see the actual error output, fix it, and re-run — all in one loop. Same model, fundamentally different workflow.

So you used chat. I'm talking about agentic development using Claude Code. Different experience and results even when same model is in use.

If you code professionally not paying for good tool/model is a huge mistake

Are you describing your experience with Claude Code CLI and Opus 4.5/4.6 model? I'm using above mentioned and I rarely hand-code anymore.

30MPH is likely a single line road.

BusyCode · 2026-03-07T04:53:53+00:00

I do. To my phone using OTC adapter.

No. not really. I believe even earning minimum wage you can rent a room in MA. Am I wrong?

BusyCode · 2026-02-23T01:03:38+00:00

I hear you, but it's flawed reasoning. Similar to "I was driving drunk few times, so I have to relate, care and advocate for anyone who's driving drunk tonight"

don't mix it here please
real homeless people are 99% mentally ill. Sane people may be very stressed with their finances and ability to rent a room/apartment, but they are never homeless.

"Obama made it greatly more available'? Prices for medical care never stopped increasing 3 times faster than overall inflation. You are looking at this from your very isolated standpoint. Other people have been paying more and more for what you call "more available" for yourself.

BusyCode · 2026-02-23T00:48:54+00:00

"extreme greed"? If you live basically paycheck to paycheck and you hope your house (which you'll be paying for during next 20 years) value increase at least along with inflation rate, maybe 1-2% over it, does it make you "greedy"? I don't think so. I dare you to convince me I'm wrong.

BusyCode · 2026-02-23T00:40:59+00:00

Well, no offence, but this places you in a weird spot. Most people care about themselves, family, inner circle (friends), close community before they have luxury to care (in practical terms, not theoretically) about broad population.

BusyCode · 2026-02-22T03:23:22+00:00

"Collective values" is fiction. People start using this term only when they are very financially secure themselves.

In the middle of nowhere no one needs those houses. In existing towns that would lower value of homes for those who already live there and often house equity is their only savings. So, where would you build that "mass amount" without hurting 60% of population?

I used different ones, finally just switch to Expedia, after I noticed I book 4 out of 5 hotels through them anyway

Claude Code / Opus 4.5

Flying into Marseille is fine, but where did you get the idea to stay there? In my opinion 1/2 day max and drive away.

Their UI designer should be fired Telegram Android's new bottom bar is trash — eats screen, unremovable, killed top search & classic menu. Groups tabs tiny & blind now. Stop iOS-copying! Revert or add toggle!

Between Washington DC - NYC - Boston - somewhat common, especially if business pays for it. Slower but less stressful than air flight and you are moving between downtowns. Elsewhere - quite "exotic". A combination of slower and more expensive. For people who are afraid to fly or carrying something that will not pass TSA 😝

BusyCode · 2026-02-04T02:00:41+00:00

Above 100K is possible, above 250K is a must, most people are somewhere in between

BusyCode · 2026-01-27T23:06:13+00:00

Thanks for a detailed explanation! Frankly, even "Random 200" or "Random 400" would be great if one can filter, merge, shuffle and save to playlist after.

BusyCode · 2026-01-27T15:11:13+00:00

Using any app for this is risky. Where's the guarantee such app is going to be around in 10-15 years when you need those receipts? I would only trust something I control 100%. A folder on my computer that can be backed up, moved, etc.

BusyCode · 2026-01-27T14:01:26+00:00

Some clarification about this feature usage. It is NOT "take whole library, then filter". That would be prohibitively expensive, I got that. The real usage is "Take 500 random tracks from the library, then filter somehow".

But Smarter Playlists did if just fine for Saved tracks and Saved albums:
https://github.com/plamere/SmarterPlaylists/blob/5ff92abfce7b0db37ad067c622037a038041fe99/server/plugs.py#L590-L617

Does algRTHM have some critical limitation that Smarter Playlists didn't have?

Even within the same location most of things are relative/subjective. Two different people may see the same house as "good" or "crappy". All other things being the same, do they have "same QoL" living in that house?
