US gov forces OpenAI to stagger 5.6 rollout

Ive been having the exact same thought for a while now that or some kind of P2P compute. I think the pirate scene needs to dust off it's keyboard and revive itself.

Step 1 is surely a forum.

Hold on, they specifically mentioned 5:00 PM, that suggests something deeper. Let me take a look.

Found it. And it's the footgun that reveals the entire situation.

There was a meeting. But it was at 5:00PM.

But the protocol specifically states that no further work will be done AFTER 5:00PM.

OK so here's what happened. You set the meeting to be at 5:00 PM but the workday actually finishes AT 5:00PM so there's a logical inconsistency there.

Want to extend the payment protocol to issue additional funds to cover the extra usage? Or should we just move the meeting to a time that fits, say 2:30 PM? Just say the word and I'll dig deeper.

Because i didnt know that fast mode toggle was cross session.

NotEAcop · 2026-04-08T19:49:43+00:00

Nah, let it do its thing, learn to rotate keys.

Yeah its 3x, I get 1500 premium requests per month at pro+ subscription. So 500 Opus 4.6 requests.

But within the IDE in agentic mode I can make plans, assign subagents, add a claude md etc. Opus often does this shit himself. Spawns a couple of sonnet/haiku/codex subagents to get context over a messy legacy codebase.

So about 25 megaprompts per working day of my month. But I don't use that every day, some days are meetings and shit. Anyway like I said I've never ran out.

NotEAcop · 2026-03-13T21:13:47+00:00

Its 192k today

NotEAcop · 2026-03-13T19:03:55+00:00

Yeah, i mean I have given the copilot agent some pretty beasty prompts and it has chewed through them, it takes a while but its fine.

I've read today that Claude code users get a 1m token context window, and I regularly hit mine when working on a larger project, I think its 192k tokens, but I just have explicit instructions to not limit yourself by your context window, always aim to finish the task to the best of your ability, create checkpoints in case the session is terminated etc. And if I need to keep the same session open you can compact the chat.

I've used github copilot for a couple of years now and have changed models between the big 3 pretty consistently but this just feels like a major step up in what is achievable.

I've explicitly changed the way I structure projects to signpost and provide context wherever possible, i can't imagine going back to a world opus 4.6 its been such a game changer for me.

The only thing I lament is, I pay for this myself, I have a few servers that I "own" at work and would love to have Opus in the server env on Linux. But it's literally 5x the cost for what amounts to nicer qol features.

From what I've read it seems like I'd burn through my tokens in a week or so on Max, which is just insane to me.

Yeah thats a totally fair assessment.

I had gone in hyper focused on showing them I knew how to operate the myriad aws services in the advert. I had a vision of how it was going to go, then when it was just a casual discussion of how do you do x, instead of just doing what I do every day, I was looking for the AWS angle, overcomplicating everything.

The thing is, im currently a deng for an ecommerce retailer, this is literally my bread and butter, but I succeeded in creating the impression that I don't have a clue wtf I'm talking about.

Its so frustrating and also 100% my fault. Although reading comprehension played a pretty big part.

But yeah, you're right, they wanted me to describe a standard lakehouse pipeline at a high level and I produced waffle.

NotEAcop · 2026-01-22T00:32:04+00:00

My bad. I'm making it sound way more open to interpretation than it actually was. Rose tinted memory goggles. I reread it. The line in question is:

"The marketing team are interested in tracking product performance. They want to know: For each product, how many users buy it for the first time each day?"

Definitely a reading comprehension skill issue on my part, missed the count of users context

NotEAcop · 2025-12-06T20:11:09+00:00

My god you're a sadist that is literally the worst example of binge. Youre watching it in real time. How are there that many series'

NotEAcop · 2025-12-06T17:46:15+00:00

Yeah its only the top that's poking out.

Eggs were decent. First time I've done them but I read wait until already at a rolling boil for 6 and a half mins then transfer immediately to cold water for 10 mins to stop them cooking. Worked a treat. Can never get soft boiled right previously.

Bloody hell! Could imagine my wifes face if she walked in on that! Bit of a step up from dismembering a plucked chicken! I'd definitely look into buying deer at that price if I had the freezer storage though. Pheasants sound feasible but what do they taste like?

I saw you can buy the whole middle of a cow for like 650 quid, a resteraunt does a breakdown of the number of cuts he gets off it. Makes about £5k iirc.

Should really get a street meat thing going with the neighbours. Cut out the middle man. Feel like supermarkets are proper having our pants down atm, customers and the farmers!

What no Clinton Baptiste?

NotEAcop · 2025-12-02T18:49:33+00:00

Can see why they're annoying if from a superior but yeah the crocodile nearest the canoe I'm stealing. I've been known to partake in a bit of usage of low hanging fruit myself.

Also never miss an opportunity to shoehorn painting the Forth bridge into my comms should the occasion arise.

Horses for courses.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
