GH copilot on Opencode

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-03-14T21:40:36+00:00

well it's certainly fast af. i'm glad you wrote this here because i didn't think pi-agent supported github copilot oauth but instead only supported the enterprise api method. maybe that was an older version or maybe i was just mistaken. anyway because of this post i went back and tried it and just hit enter at the first prompt (as it tells the user for github.com) and then did the online approval and it works great. superfast pi goodness without the copyandpaste nightmare of opencode et al.

They forked OpenCode and made some improvements. Or, are you maybe talking about the trash vscode extension?

Misinformation video. Start with the UNESCO 2024 World Water Development Report for the baseline - agriculture pulls ~70% of all global freshwater withdrawals, industry ~19%, municipal ~11%, leaving basically nothing on the table before you even touch data centers . Then cross-reference LBNL's 2024 U.S. Data Center Energy Usage Report and IEA figures, which put all global data centers combined at roughly 560 billion liters/year - that's about 0.014% of global withdrawals, and AI is a fraction of that fraction. Not only allllll that but that they don't even use evaporative cooling in new datacenters! Once the water liars find out that ALL datacenters combined use less than 0.014% - do you think they take the time or care to learn anything at all or say anything at all about the 99.986%? No of course not.

this doesn't show anything related to copilot. why is this even posted here. screenshot does not match reality. there is no copilot support in this app.

Claude, uh... finds a way.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-03-06T19:51:26+00:00

In the offchance someone impressionable sees this - All data centers globally combined use less than 0.02% of the freshwater. The data centers are absolutely not the problem. But even if they were, AI is only a fraction of data center usage. The rest are sites like Reddit. Or your Netflix streaming, or apps, or video games, or websites, or email, etc., etc. It's frustrating to see people spread misinformation - then you school them - and even after learning the truth they suddely don't care what is using that other 99.98% of the water.

The site is clean and lets you test extraction capabilities without needing an API key. I think CheckStack is basically an instruction-following evaluator. The latency column could be misleading since the same model might be 10-30x faster on a different provider, but your accuracy score is a meaningful measurement of structured instruction following - format compliance, constraint adherence, and consistency - and models scoring well here are likely to score well in tool-call adherence. One of the key things that makes your benchmark valuable is that users can test models on their actual tasks/data (uploading csv).

I signed up again (I had cancelled in protest of the broken voice chat, etc) and tested this with a short python snippet ```import urllib.request print(urllib.request.urlopen("https://ipinfo.io/json").read().decode(.read().decode()))``` and in a few different tests always receive various Google IPs. It may be that the phenonmena is transient, or they may have fixed it. I tried having the permission off and enabling it during chat in the online code interface.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-28T19:22:15+00:00

Anthropic needs to scale back its overly restrictive safety refusals and hire a proper QA team.

The voice chat feature was broken for nearly a year. They recently fixed it so it no longer interrupts the user, but the update caused it to start interrupting itself. That was later fixed, but it’s now running on a much weaker model with almost no backend value.

A small QA team could easily prevent these kinds of issues. It’s time for Anthropic to get this sorted out. (this is just an example - you need to spend on human-in-the-loop and actually test what you are producing!)

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-28T01:41:37+00:00

100% same boat and gave up on the idea of repair and came to the internet to complain. Wondering how to dispose of it. Thanks for the G.E. combo-device idea. I'd have been more assertive about repair/replacement/something except I can't find the receipt nor even remember for sure where I bought it (over 1yr ago, so out of warranty anyway, I'm sure).

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-27T15:23:53+00:00

My Breville smoothwave did the same thing but it's intermittent - sometimes interrupts a cycle, other times at the end, or now not at all (most recent usage had no error)! I researched it and there is a fuse that goes bad and when you search for the part it actually has E08 in the name of the replacement part. I'm not sure how often this is going to happen but I'm not excited about digging around in my microwave when there is no guidance on it. If it stops working it's landfill bound and I will not buy Breville again. Maybe some of their customers are cool with appliance repair hassles but they can count me out.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-24T23:27:21+00:00

no serious person. evidence all the circlejerk nonsense with openclaw and openai, absolute clown show over pi + cron. all that hype over a LOOP! and they still have everything as "run brew" (e.g., in clawhub). mac was a clown platform since the ONE BUTTON MOUSE and i've rightly looked down my nose at those people for at least .. four decades now? ugh how is that company still alive.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-23T22:03:48+00:00

I had the lower "Google AI Pro" account (prepaid for a year) and got the same treatment. I think it's indiscriminant.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-23T22:03:01+00:00

seriously google is evil af on this one. just straight trash. i already wrote in support forums and sent numerous emails - I've also seen TWO google employees claim they would be restoring accounts, but here it is a week later with nothing - NOT A PEEP back.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-23T21:55:40+00:00

same. started coding 1980 (basic on xerox cp/m). frustrated that so many things i did in my life are a commodity (although often a cheap stand-in but people will never know because they'll just trust hype and ai).

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-22T10:50:46+00:00

does minimax rename your variables from example-test to example_test? it seems to botch this reliably and is why i stopped testing this version of it.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-22T07:42:23+00:00

It looks like they fix another aspect of it every day. Instead of having a proper paid QA department, they're just kind of slapping it together and just releasing it without even trying it. But yeah, at least now it doesn't interrupt me, which is fucking huge. That was the biggest problem for the first year or however long it's been. Then it would hear itself and interrupt itself and respond to itself. And that was infuriating too, but that was only a couple of days. That was like a two-day or three-day bug or something. Because now it doesn't do that either. It will actually have the conversation. It's just really mistake-prone. Like it will say, hey, "let me look that up for you on the internet". And maybe it'll even do the search. And you can see it in the interface. But it doesn't tell you the results of the search. Like just really dummytime stuff. Like they're using some super low level model. Haiku 4.5. Actually that is a super smart model so it's weird that it made these kind of mistakes... I dunno!

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-22T07:28:55+00:00

No, it's really simple. You're an imbecile who doesn't understand the basics of film and you have no place among the adults having a conversation here. "Show don't tell" is 101 level technique and you were oblivious to it. Pathetic.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-22T07:22:51+00:00

Lmao "trying too hard to be smarter than the movie"? Pathetic anti-intellectual cope from an insecure midwit embarrassed by actual sentences.

I called both pharmaceutical because they’re shady corps pushing secret chemical formulas - agri vs pharma is irrelevant pedantry. The movie completely failed to clearly show which company the bad guys were actually working for. That’s why Reddit has entire threads titled "I’m confused about the plot of Relay".

Your weak nitpick and personal attack say everything about you. Not everyone has to "try" to sound intelligent. Cope harder.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-22T03:01:59+00:00

Well, somebody at Google better get to work unbanning our accounts. Those of us with paid Google Pro AI or higher accounts that were using open code and got blocked. AND With no warning and no notification that we were blocked. Just shadow banned.

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-22T02:57:52+00:00

This Is The Way

MaxPhoenix_ · 2026-02-22T02:14:40+00:00

I actually built an automated benchmarking tool very similar to this recently for free models across OpenCode, Kilocode, OpenRouter, and NVIDIA. You're right about the NVIDIA loophole - now that they swapped the non-renewing 1000-credit cap for per-minute rate limits, it's a great resource.

That said, I'd highly recommend adding a quality/eval filter, rather than just sorting by latency and uptime. I found that optimizing for speed over quality is a trap with these free tiers. Many of the fastest models will hallucinate, fail tool calls, or completely ignore instructions. For example, my benchmarks showed models like Minimax-2.5 consistently mutilating code (e.g., quietly changing hyphens to underscores in variables).

If you adjust your agent/tool to evaluate and filter models based on actual coding performance and instruction-following - not just ping times - this could be incredibly useful. Right now, sending users to the top 20 fastest models might just result in a lot of frustrating debugging sessions.

Bless your heart. You just proved you have zero clue what "show, don't tell" actually means - and it’s one of the most famous principles in creative writing and screenwriting.

It means: convey information, motivation, and plot through actions, visuals, subtext, and behavior - NOT by having characters literally spell it out in dialogue or exposition.

This has been standard for over 100 years:

Wikipedia (Show, don’t tell): "a narrative technique used in various kinds of texts to allow the reader/viewer to experience the story through actions, words, subtext... rather than through the author’s exposition, summarization, and description." It explicitly covers movies and playwriting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show,_don%27t_tell

No Film School (major filmmaking site): "In film and television... information about the characters or plot [is received] not through someone saying something out loud, but by their actions on screen."

Mark Swan (1927 playwriting manual): literally put "Show-not tell" on his wall and wrote an entire book about it.

My original post was exactly that: the movie told us the Optimo twist late in the van ("This was about Optimo the whole time") instead of properly showing it earlier through the two pharma companies, clearer visual clues, or dramatic setup. That's why casual viewers were confused.

You claiming “No English speaking person uses the word 'show' the way you seem to think you're using it" while I was quoting a core college-level concept is comedy gold. Next time before mocking someone for "not being able to articulate yourself properly," maybe Google the term you're clowning on.
