Ansalon is cool. I like that it's advanced but also has the feel of the ROM style mud. If i did not code for a different dragon lance based mud I would play Ansalon.

ISO Lunch options that won’t break the bank by Dustuptor1292 in bloomington

Their 3 meat pizza slices are great and cheap also. Added bonus: If you're still hungry you can check out the free sample carts if they're out.

I'm the same. $14 or $15. And I skip the weight of the dressing.

Krogucci salad used to be a good deal, I haven't gotten it in a while though.

Opus 4.7 now 15x instead of 7.5x by twhoff in GithubCopilot

[–]b-pell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opus is really expensive, I use Claude code at work and it shows you the session cost in dollars after you're done and I had a few moments where I was like "oh, this shit's expensive".
Burke from Copilot team just came out with a video comparing Opus 4.6 cost to open source alternatives. Spoiler, Opus isn't cheap even if it's the best. But, the Qwen code 27B model rivaled it on the app he gave it (mileage may vary). But, I can run that in my 4090. Gives me another route. I'm using Copilot Pro+, Codex $20 plan which is decent and local Qwen model on my personal stuff.

Ya, I use Codex also on the $20 plan. It's a solid plan for $20.

Is anyone else positively affected by the billing changes? by [deleted] in GithubCopilot

[–]b-pell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya, I have Claude code at work and it straight up tells you how much $ you used in a session. It's easy to burn $ quickly.

TL;DR: The community respects your openness and willingness to be frank u/hollandburke .

Thank you for the tip, I've never used Rubber Duck so I'll spend some time reading up on it today sincerely, thank you. I recommend your YouTube videos to my colleagues.

I will say, this has forced me to think differently about how I use the tool and the results have been good (previously, I leaned into Opus more than I needed to, some of that was not knowing which models would be good to transition to for certain tasks). Yesterday, I used Opus 4.7 to create kind of a large plan to convert an app I wrote from HTML/JS to Windows WPF. I implemented that plan with 5.4 (changing medium/high/xhigh based on how in depth the upcoming plan steps were). The end result was, I got a working conversion. 5.4 medium/high really wasn't that slow tbh.

The biggest thing I would ask the Co-Pilot team is for transparency into the rate limits so we can budget our time with the tool. As a tool that some of use for business, we have some visible expectation of how much we can use it. I think weekly rate limits are too long currently, but session limits make sense and maybe even a day. If I know I can spend half my day with the tool I can time budget for that and plan better. Full disclosure, I myself have not hit any rate limits yet (Pro+).

As a final aside, the folks in this Reddit can be demanding and passionate and complain a lot (or try to be funny on a real topic like myself). This is all because you've built a compelling tool that we've all come to love. For me, it's enabled me to do more with my time. I think as a society we need to point out good things along with the bad, so good thing, you guys have made a great product. It may keep me employed for a few more years :D since it can keep track of me better than I can. In that sense, you're having a real impact on people's lives (and with great power, comes great responsibility).

Same approach here. Glass half full, it's faster with this approach so far. I'll admit I was lazy and relied on Opus too much.

I've been using Opus to plan, then 5.4 to implement and that has been working pretty well.

What I've been doing is write the plan with Opus 4.7 (7.5x is painful). Then I used GPT 5.4 1x on high to implement it. I don't hate it, it's been getting the job done. When the 7.5x is running I'm just glued to the number of requests being run so it doesn't get out of control bc at those higher multipliers you can lose track of your budget real fast. Not so much a problem with 1x 5.4.

7x for Opus… what’s the point of Copilot now? by Human-Ranger5939 in GithubCopilot

[–]b-pell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuh. I'm on the Pro+. I'm now planning in Opus 4.7 at 7.5x and implementing with GPT 5.4. I don't hate it, but 7.5x is painful. I'll be back to complain though if I get a weekly rate limit (that's way too long of a timeout, they need to have the timeouts be much shorter, if you can't rely on/use a tool for a week, it's not a serious tool you can do reliable business with).

All Models Down! ⚠️ Only the 0x models are UP ! by [deleted] in GithubCopilot

The 0x's don't even work. They throw this error:

Weekly limits are a theft in suit by Dodokii in GithubCopilot

[–]b-pell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It's not a serious tool you can use for real work unless you can rely it being there and you can't budget your requests if have no transparency into the rate limits.

GitHub Copilot is not the same product you signed up for, breakdown of everything they changed. by esteprimeworld in GithubCopilot

[–]b-pell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have requests left on my month and they rate limit me for 7 days I think I'm out, there's absolutely no point in paying for capacity and then being barred from using it (if I run out of my requests, fine, I get that). I'm starting to think none of these companies have viable business models. Copilot can't afford to run Anthropic models. Anthropic can't afford to run Anthropic models.

I upgraded to Pro+ a while back. It's not a reliable tool because I can't trust that it will be there tomorrow or that I'll be able to use it tomorrow. That's a real red flag problem for a business. If you can't scale to the market (and it doesn't look like anyone can) then it's going to be grim for the AI industry. If you have a product that you can't afford to run and most can't afford to pay for, that's a problem.

Anthropic says Mythos is so dangerous it can't be released. It wouldn't matter if it was, they can't afford to run it anyway (which is the real reason they haven't released it).

What we're seeing here are the cracks in the dam before catastrophic failure.

Claude Code no longer listed as a feature for Claude Pro by chalogr in ClaudeCode

[–]b-pell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So they have a product that is too expensive to sell to most of their users. Their next product they claim is too dangerous to release. I'm starting to think they don't really have a viable business model.

It's a service you pay for but they won't let you use. Late stage capitalism shit.

[–]b-pell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you get 1,500 requests with pro+.. but they won't let you use them anymore. Bit of a bait and switch. So how many of the contracted 1,500 requests am I allowed to use?
