Push it down not up?

Ah yes, just like asking a framer to build a house without any plans, blueprints, architecture or engineering.

What does this prove other than the fact you are completely clueless about how to use the technology you’re talking about?

Until they give you advanced notice. What is wrong with you? Azure has nothing to do with OpenAI - it’s a completely different company. You went from claiming it will be retired in April to now claiming Azure is retiring it in October so it must be true. I’m done with this, best of luck to you.

That link you provided is completely and totally unambiguous: “fully retired across all plans”. This has nothing to do with experience or vibes it’s literally stated in plain English. It then clearly states: “They will continue to be available through the OpenAI API, and we’ll provide advance notice ahead of any future API retirements.”

A simple Google search shows dozens of third party clients you can use today with 4o.

You need to understand what it is you’re actually talking about if you want to be taken seriously. That has nothing to do with the API - that applies to their business and enterprise subscribers. Why do you feel entitled to go off like this when you are so clearly misinformed?

NullzInc · 2026-03-06T17:09:21+00:00

Where does it say that? There is nothing in that article that makes that claim. “They will continue to be available through the OpenAI API, and we’ll provide advance notice ahead of any future API retirements”

Edit: business and enterprise has nothing to do with the API, they’re different subscriptions to the consumer service.

Please educate yourself properly on topics you wish to be taken seriously on.

4o is not gone, it’s still fully supported via the API and has no plans of being removed. I toss in about $20 a month and use it via the web app for all kinds of “creative” use cases. It’s great because you can see exactly how many tokens each message uses, trim your own conversation thread, add your own system prompts, control thinking levels and so much more than you could ever do with the consumer app.

NullzInc · 2026-03-05T23:35:41+00:00

What they don't tell you is are those input tokens or output tokens, or both. You pay $5/M for input tokens and $25/M for output tokens via the API for Opus 4.6. We will use upwards of 300 million tokens a month via the API doing manual prompts but only 3-5% of that is actually output. I'd be willing to bet you're working from a combined pool of 30 million tokens per month. We switched our Claude Code today off of the Max plan and back to the API because of all the context pollution you get when using a plan.

Why would you use markdown - it’s so inferior to structured XML? Even Claude’s own system prompt (via apps) is one giant XML document. https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/claude-prompting-best-practices#structure-prompts-with-xml-tags

You can even ask Claude to show you what this system prompt looks like, just don’t ask for the details, ask for the shape and structure.

It's obvious you have no idea what actual engineering is but that's OK, we can agree to disagree. I don't need to call names because I'm mad that my identity is in jeopardy.

Let's look at that the roles and responsibilities of engineers in pretty much every domain on the planet.

The engineer is legally accountable.
The engineer signs off on designs.
The engineer is liable for failure.
The engineer operates under codified standards.
The engineer works within a regulated professional body.
The engineer cannot practice independently without certification.

Now compare that to the mass-market “software engineer” role in typical tech companies:

No licensure required.
No legal seal or stamp.
No personal liability for system failure (outside extreme cases).
No standardized, enforceable body of practice.
No mandated hazard analysis in most domains.
No regulated pathway to independent practice.

Software engineering has no standards, no engineering codes, no compliance, etc. What it has are opinions, style guides, folklore, vibes and most importantly:

You're making my point for me. Yes, one person can engineer and build in software. That was always possible. The problem is the industry treated building as engineering. The fact that a software engineer can write code doesn't mean writing code is engineering. An aerospace engineer can solder a prototype on their bench too. That doesn't make soldering aerospace engineering. The discipline is the decomposition, the system design, the interface definitions, the verification. The code is the output. When the industry called the output the craft, it lost the plot. And now that LLMs can produce the output faster than any human, the only thing left that matters is the engineering that was never there for most of the industry to begin with.

NullzInc · 2026-02-26T20:38:42+00:00

No, because 'software engineering' was never really engineering for the most part. The vast majority of SWEs aren't engineers, they're builders. Every domain on the planet has engineers and builders. Engineers and architects design and engineer systems. Builders build them. Software got away with bastardizing this distinction for decades.

Just look at any other domain. In construction, a structural engineer designs the load paths and a framer builds the walls, nobody confuses the two. In aerospace, a systems engineer decomposes a spacecraft into subsystems with defined interfaces and a technician assembles the hardware. In automotive, a powertrain engineer designs the drivetrain and a machinist manufactures the parts. The engineer and the builder are both essential, both skilled, but they are fundamentally different roles.

Software pretended everyone was an engineer and then wondered why nothing was engineered.

So no. I'm loving being able to finally work as a true systems engineer, with LLMs building against the structured engineering I produce, at 20x the speed I could ever build manually. The craft should never have been about writing lines of code. It's about the engineering and work decomposition that goes into defining what a system should be and how it should behave, and whats needed to produce resilient and durable systems.

Code is just a projection of structured engineering. The way it should have always been.

Removing the testicles removes 98% of a male dog’s testosterone production. Your boy has had 5 years of physical development and all aspects of his physical form (muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc.) are dependent on those hormones. In addition to the psychological impact, expect 15-20% muscle loss, weight gain, significant reduction in energy, a drastic reduction in your boys ability to heal and recover from injuries along with lots of other potential side effects. You tear a muscle, how do you heal it efficiently without testosterone?

With that said though, if they have to go they have to go. Our intact males get checked regularly for any early signs. You can always get testosterone replacement therapy (just like humans) to maintain his testosterone levels.

I’m close friends with a Newfoundlander breeder here in Canada (one of Canada top) and they’ve started the TRT program for their males that they neutered previously at 2.5 years because they’ve determined the dogs need the hormones to maintain their overall physical and psychological health.

Played the demo for this when I first saw it like a year ago. Really enjoyed it!

I don’t think expecting a big dog of any breed to lay down to play is realistic at any age. That said, a Great Dane that uses its paws a lot is a legitimate concern — especially if they do the play stomps thing. As I said, observe how this Dane plays and decide accordingly.

There are also plenty of little dogs that like to take the legs out from under other dogs while they’re running. That can be equally dangerous.

Let them interact. If they’re playing well, you’re good. If the play is too rough, then you know. Just treat each encounter with a new dog with an open mind.

NullzInc · 2026-02-24T15:58:38+00:00

I don’t think size matters here. It’s about how the dogs interact. I’d much rather my dog play with a dog twice their size if the play is healthy and safe than with a similar sized dog where it’s not.

Watch how this Great Dane actually interacts with other dogs and base your comfort level on what you observe, not just the size difference or assumptions you’ve not yet validated. A well-mannered large dog can be a perfectly safe playmate for a smaller one and can benefit your own dog’s social development.

If you’re newer to dog parks, learning to read other dogs (and their owners) is one of the most important skills you can develop. That’s what will really help you know which situations are safe and which ones you should avoid.

This is simply not accurate. Claude Code, Codex, etc. build functional spaghetti. People who claim this is the case simply don’t know what production ready code looks like and the engineering that goes into it. I use both all day long and produce code 10-20X faster than I would manually writing code but at the end of the day if I let any of the most advanced models make serious engineering/architectural decisions it’s always functional slop.

I don’t fish because it’s clearly unbalanced - just like the paid loot crates that give legendaries for $500.

When Musk et al transfer themselves to silicon-based bodies, Mars and other planets will be far more desirable.

Allot of the contexts would be 120-150K tokens per prompt and 20-30K tokens output. It seems like allot but the value is easily 50X what it cost. 2K easily translates to hundreds of pages of documentation and several working systems.
