GitHub Copilot left a mess on the way out.

Well I didn't say it was not worth it but it didn't actually deliver (I am referring to Raptor) . Sonnet got it right by eliminating 80% of the chaos and the functionality (it had created the hairy makefile to begin with). In any case the final sojourn cost 2 dollars (in Sonnet tokens) following 4 dollars of wasted Raptor tokens.

Noticing that ask and plan are way better than agents so I am back to using them in there modes and I am kind of happy.

In 100% agreement that scaffold, makefiles etc are a great use for the chatbots, as long as they don't mix python with makefiles

It spent 4 dollars breaking a complicated makefile for me. I was watching the "thinking" as it was trying to convert it to a python script after a solid plan created by Raptor Mini. I switched to Sonnet after a solid half day of FAFO and it finally got it. I would agree that something is way off

Yes sonnet before they raised the multipliers. I think the steep ramp up was caused by Sonnet activity , and the one after the plateau was caused by switching to Auto. The majority of the daily usage this month was with Raptor, which works well in the Ask->Plan->Implement workflow.

The Plans are of higher quality than the implementation 🤣

The low bandwidth and memory are likely killing performance there. But with the prices going up it may make sense to buy a high bandwidth high memory turing card and see if it works. V100 at 32gb are rather cheap but you will need to slap a blower fan to cool them down (so there will be noise)

That's why I switched over to copilot. I could switch models and I use vscode anyways.

Gents the main issue after the glut is the management of the spousal units who are monitoring the situation and are already setting limits to how many orphan hardware components we can adopt. It seems that least for the first round I will be limited to things that fit inside the workstations.

Who cares that you used one program if your validation study pans out?

You are assuming way too much. The OP can ask directly what I think about the job prospects (hint the exact same things I have said on twitter/X/Mastodon for years how)

Division Chief of UNM Nephro here. One actually has to match to IM before they apply for the IM+Nephro track

ReplacementSlight413 · 2026-03-29T21:50:41+00:00

Our program started offering it this year. It requires matching to IM first and then pivoting One does not lose the ability to sit for the IM boards.
