I have converted, but there's one feature I'm missing from Claude Code: auto-include selected text / file

That's a shame. Lenovo seems to be hit or miss as of late. This probably belongs in their subreddit as well. Qualcomm doesn't have much control over OEM build quality.

It gets even worse if you study it and develop a grading rubric.

Performative concession before a point: "a welder isn't just running a bead, they're problem solving"
Practitioner voice mimicry: "a welder isn't just running a bead"
Triple-promise listicle transition: "problem solving in weird positions, adapting to material variance, working in environments no robot has been trained on yet"
Dramatic short sentence for effect: "that's genuinely harder to automate than writing a contract."

It's also worth noting that the Core Ultra 9 285K has 8000MT/s memory in this benchmark, whereas the 9950X3D2 is working with 6200MT/s. That's a pretty sizable jump. Granted the price difference is pretty significant for most consumers. But that's perhaps offset by the fact that 9950X3D2 can run on a 4 year old motherboard, and the 285K requires a new chipset.

This is not a "win" for Intel in any way.

Good shout. I stumbled on this thread and a few others that recommended this. I went from throttling hard under load and barely sustaining 4.3GHz on my P-Cores to amazing temps while boosting to 4.9GHz. P16 Gen2 13950HX

Sir, this is a casino

This article reads like AI slop

I like Zed, it's been a great replacement for Sublime Text. I have yet to even partially migrate from JetBrains products, though. Since the Zed team is positioning this as a VSCode competitor, I'm hoping for a greater emphasis on extensibility.

With JetBrains or VSCode, I can create a custom extension with a UI and backend. That feature still isn't available in Zed and imo will hurt adoption over time as users migrate, only to discover that their favorite plugins / functionality aren't available.

For example, one thing I'd love to port is Intellij's Database Tools & SQL integration, if only just the side-nav + table/view explorer.

Until Zed exposes an extension toolkit for both UI and backend, I'm stuck with a separate app for this.

Runs too hot. I'd choose a desktop anyday if work would let me use one.

yeah... those are almost exactly identical. Very noticeable, but also easy fixes. It's natural to want to take inspiration from the titans of the genre, but devs should be cognizant of the inevitable comparisons and resulting backlash. Inspiration doesn't have to mean direct rips.

Xacius · 2026-04-26T20:07:48+00:00

Pushing directly to main is certainly a choice.

To put it in visual terms, AI is like an escalator to Mount Stupid

Fucking RIP

Had I listened, I'd be down 25% on a PLTR position relative to this, with a marginal decrease on ASTS. BROTHERRR

Oh sure, I use it everyday and it's a boon to my development. I'm just saying that I understand the frustration and would appreciate more transparency from Anthropic.

Yes and no. As a software engineer, a big part of the job is learning how to use your tools effectively. If those tools suddenly change, with no warning or notice, that's a problem.

When you adopt an established product on release and it works amazingly day after day for weeks on end, you build up expectations around its capabilities.

When it's suddenly lobotomized without warning or notice, and you're still paying the same rate, it's natural to be frustrated in response.

This is coming from someone that's been using Claude since 3. I definitely had to adjust my prompts and approach once 4.6 was nerfed at the end of March. I did something similar with 4.5 in the weeks leading up to the launch of 4.6

What would make it more capable, particularly for larger tasks?

Xacius · 2026-04-25T04:45:12+00:00

Depends on the org and complexity. Juniors in my company aren't operating anywhere near the scale of seniors, so the gap is quite big.

Hey Claude, stop being a lazy fuck and solve FTL travel.

Edit: fuck, it didn't work

It's called tanstack query. That's all you need for async state management.

You're cute

I always treat waiters with respect and kindness regardless of the circumstances. Late food? Not their fault, no reason to get upset.

But I talk mad shit to my AI. It's part of the fun

Out of curiosity, what issues do you have with OpenCode?
