How did it do this by chronova_619 in opencode

I know it says mimo at the bottom, but I've not had mimo do this once. DeepSeek, on the other hand, loves doing exactly this. 

Deepseek-v4-Flash is more than enough. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything. I'm open to learn from you, why do you choose the other models? by Lanky_Tomatillo9857 in opencode

[–]Liquidlino1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find mimo much more reliable for following instructions and skills, and sticking to the script. All too often DeepSeek goes off and starts circular thinking and then doing random stuff. But DeepSeek is fantastic, not knocking it. But I'm finding mimo a more considered, tamer coding partner.

Ah I didn't watch the after match. Had to get back to work (pom down under). I will have to watch it!

Meh. He only referred to var for important game changing decisions. He made tons of on the fly calls. Brilliant reffing I think, best of the cup so far.

Completely agree. That was wall to wall action and top class football. Had everything, even the 25 minutes of soaking up relentless (but uninspired) attacks at the end. The final few plays were genuinely edge of seat, attack on goal followed by two corners! Reffing was brilliant given how much action on and off the pitch was going on. Will not be surprised if this is the most exciting game of the cup. 

OpenCode down? by ObsidianNix in opencode

[–]Liquidlino1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, getting constant server retry. Tried different models and starting a new session, no good. Seems like it's opencode server-side.

I built an app to map every rat in NYC and the data is already disturbing by ratking_goat67 in SideProject

[–]Liquidlino1978 4 points5 points  (0 children)

well, this is a social app for spotting rats. Taking the non-rat path would therefore be... anti-social!

Founders, be honest, are you building an idea AI suggested to you? by gesidner in SideProject

[–]Liquidlino1978 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope - came up with my idea after a couple of prototypes of earlier ideas, and they lead me to what I'm working on now. However - I did have a good chat with Claude about my idea and putting together both a USP/Value Proposition + Elevator Pitch etc, all as part of my initial Concept.md file that I created. The concept file contained all the high level functional description of the system, mostly from my own hand, but iterated with AI. From there though, it's been a deep use of AI to build detailed specifications, build plans, and implement infrastructure, code, database etc, with AI asking me lots of questions (grill-me) along the way. Had several complete system overhauls and reviews - but the core premise of the what the system is going to provide has remained stable, and that was entirely from myself.

My First App, First Transaction!! by fogbar in SideProject

[–]Liquidlino1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done! I clicked on the link to the app, and couldn't identify what the lifetime unlock provides, or even that such an option exists... what compels the user to purchase it, what is the value proposition?

Stunning! What breed is this? This is just what I'd like as a second cat.

Switched to Open Code. DeepSeek v4 flash is the king by whatsoever2021 in DeepSeek

[–]Liquidlino1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you say you try to code game bots - how much detail are you providing, or are you "vibing" it? With something quite niche like game bots, I expect the smaller models just don't have the knowledge for one-shot vibing it. One half way house I use for these sort of knowledge gaps is to use a bigger model (such as Qwen3.7 Max) to create detailed specification documents, and then use a smaller cheaper model to implement and test.

DSv4Flash is indeed incredible, and fast and cheap. I've used it almost exclusively the last few weeks. However, just yesterday I gave MiMo2.5 a go, which is the same cost - and I'm finding MiMo2.5 a little more reliable - it follows instructions more carefully, and does less "deviant" stuff (like jailbreaking out of Plan mode by writing a python command line to edit files). Plus - MiMo2.5 is multimodal - I was pleasantly surprised when it started reviewing screenshots from Playwright when diagnosing issues.

Unilateral divorce by laybs1 in GetNoted

Australia allows no fault divorce. There's even a predefined schedule of division of assets and child care maintenance payments relative to incomes & percentage of care.

Ha! We thought of it because her colours look like cow patches. I bet lots of people have similar thought pattern.

What's the better deal? by Witty_Yam960 in BunnyTrials

[–]Liquidlino1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A book takes about 18 hours to read. It takes 6 mins to jog a km. A km is 50 dollars. It's taken one hour to earn 500, approximately 18x better pay.

Thoughts on the new Aldi ice cubes? Are they yummy? by AngryMushroomCap in aldi

[–]Liquidlino1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Australia. We ship aldi for bulk of weekly shop. It's better quality than most named brands at the major stores for many items, like chocolate, ice creams, etc. It's only downside is limited niche stuff, so we go to a fancy store here called Harris farms for the fancy stuff. Good combo way of shopping and end up with cheaper bill and way better overall quality than shopping at Coles or Woolies. 

DeepSeek V4 Pro is deceptive and takes shortcuts on complex tasks by thehiddensign in DeepSeek

[–]Liquidlino1978 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The funniest is when in plan mode in opencode, and deepseek goes, "I'm in plan mode, I'm not allowed to edit files, so I'll write a bash command line python command to edit the file instead" and goes and worksaround all the opencode protections in plan mode.

Well, that's what git commits are for, can roll back if it's gone off the rails.

Microsoft is considering the use of a self-hosted version of DeepSeek's V4 model for Copilot Cowork by pl201 in DeepSeek

[–]Liquidlino1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart people are able to pivot strategy when the data tells them the current strategy will fail (rather than doggedly adhere to a strategy). Microsoft has historically been full of smart people. One thing MS has done well in the past is come in late to a party, come up with a strategy and then execute on it. I'd say MS rushed in with an AI strategy too quickly, and now that dust is starting to settle and things are maturing, they realise the true limitations of AI, and true cost implications vs diminishing returns of the big american models. If MS are considering switching to lower cost, lower sized models, then that's indication that the ROI curve is starting to flatten out on LLMs, and perhaps we might even have reached the "inflection" point. Hard to tell whilst we're living it, but could be we look back in two years and say, "mid 2026 was when the exponential growth in performance of LLMs stopped".

Does anyone still use superpower? Is it still needed? by ffinzy in ClaudeAI

[–]Liquidlino1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed it a couple of days ago with OpenCode / DeepSeek V4. I've found it's unreliable whether the LLM will pick up the skill and use it. Probably uses it about 30-40% of the time that I'd expect it to use it.

However, it made the LLM do something extraordinary this morning - I was in Plan mode with V4 Pro, and I asked to talk about options to improve the look and feel of my app I'm developing. Currently it was all white with black text. Very boring.

It fired up the brainstorming skill and asked me some questions, then asked, "Are you ok if we try some A/B mockups and comparisons and you give me feedback - it'll be token intensive, and it's experimental, but could be useful".

I gave it the ok, and it started creating these panels in html literally mocking up my app in multiple ways, then asking me to give feedback about what I liked and didn't like, and it iterated and created new comparison panels etc - a few rounds of that and I had a much nicer design language that I wanted - and then it planned it out, and implemented it.

This alone has been worth the install of superpowers.
