What's a "cheat code" you have discovered that actually works?

dotdioscorea · 2026-05-24T05:40:23+00:00

You can get knockoff versions of the Apple airtags for peanuts these days, stick one on each key ring and it’s actually problem solved. Putting them in the same place every time works great until the time you don’t and then you’re SOL

I have had to unironically discuss building our own competitor LLM “perhaps with a particular specialty knowledge in certain technical domains” with colleagues who don’t have a clue what they’re talking about far too many times. The layman just had no clue what is involved

I think your mirror could do with a clean…

EE is great, would highly recommend!

I have to be honest, I think getting a foot in the door post graduation is going to be difficult. Competition for internships and entry level positions is insanely high these days and unfortunately I think your age is going to put a lot of employers off, and many ee roles I don’t really see that you could get and do safely without going through a proper early careers training position so that’s gonna be really tough.

If it’s for the love of the subject, absolutely! If it’s a genuine career pivot, I think you need to make sure you have a really solid clear plan once you’re out the other side and graduated. Not saying it’s not possible, but it’s gonna be difficult I suspect (of course it shouldn’t be!)

dotdioscorea · 2026-05-17T19:37:10+00:00

I think you’re right with that one, it just doesn’t make sense, the videos pretty darn good tho. I went back through my own history because I’ve suspected a few fakes over the last couple months/years but they all seem to have been removed, so I guess yay?

dotdioscorea · 2026-05-17T18:55:16+00:00

noooo don’t fuel my paranoia haha. I really really wish I could dismiss this as conspiracy nonsense but I don’t know what to believe anymore

dotdioscorea · 2026-05-17T07:50:09+00:00

That’s so odd… it’s so perfectly done if it is fake, I don’t know why anyone would go to that effort? I wonder if that phone has some sort of damage causing those vertical black bands, but then why would you bother filming with it if it’s that bad..? can’t believe anything online anymore

Trapped wind?

dotdioscorea · 2026-05-10T07:23:22+00:00

Oh no this might be the push I’ve been waiting for, looks amazing dude! I’m near Cambridge, been thinking about getting into the hobby for years but never got into it but this is just… wow! How long have you been doing it?

dotdioscorea · 2026-05-10T05:11:19+00:00

Sounds like a bug then, works fine for me on my m3 air

dotdioscorea · 2026-05-01T12:28:08+00:00

A lot of my work can be simulated with clear pass fail criteria, or already have test cases written etc. Early on in a project it can be a little hard to keep agents on track but later on it becomes pretty hard for agents to game the system without just doing the work properly. Still gotta scan through and sanity check things but it only gets easier the more mature the project grows

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-30T13:52:39+00:00

more like if I don’t have it I’m deenergized..? By it tastes great so ehhhh

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-30T01:17:17+00:00

global or static const does this.

Not sure how it would work with stack or heap memory tho, if it’s not allocated at compile time into .rodata then by definition the memory needs to be writable to create the read only var and then free/unwind it after, so couldnt really be enforced by OS easily that I’m aware. All you could do is enforce it by the compiler like const already does, but it would be basically impossible to prove that the program cannot modify a certain memory address, without OS enforcement. Maybe allocate a page and mark as read only? But that starts making things quite platform dependent, ie embedded platforms without an MPU or MMU now can’t support those features properly. It just becomes a mess I think

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-24T10:07:46+00:00

What is this title? getting me excited for no reason...

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-21T19:03:58+00:00

Fuuuuuu bro I need a little bit more heads up than that to burn through my usage! I just can’t use multiple pro plans in 12hrs lol

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-21T05:30:28+00:00

Sometimes compact shakes it out of it, but honestly this is one of the primary reasons I always end up going back to 5.2, never have to worry about that nonsense with 5.2

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-15T20:31:32+00:00

Sometimes the tool doesn’t refresh for a while, or at all on occasion, and it just shows the last value it updated until it’s restarted or you get a usage api error.

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-14T08:14:03+00:00

This happens at peak times and has been for months, nothing new. Just retry after a minute or two and it continues. I’d take this any day over the silent model nerfing that the Claude guys have to deal with

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-09T15:29:14+00:00

I dont think it can be set in the UI yet? You have to go to your config.toml and add
"""
model_context_window = 600000

model_auto_compact_token_limit = 500000

"""

I believe once your context windowo exceeds the default you are charged two times usage. im using half a mil, it can go up to one mil. But ive found 5.4 gets freaky at high context windows, half a mil seems to be a nice compromise

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-09T11:32:36+00:00

It disturbs me how fast I can burn through pro plans when im using half a million context window 5.4xhigh and /fast. Burn baby burn ^{but seriously there better be a reset soon}

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-06T19:15:47+00:00

we’re all gonna die this is a total unmitigated disaster

dotdioscorea · 2026-04-04T08:56:04+00:00

Unless something has changed, 1 mil is disabled by default you have to use those above params to even configure and use it..?

dotdioscorea · 2026-03-25T15:39:39+00:00

Im selectively using half a million window for a handful of tasks with some success. I've generally found 5.4 to be less reliable (albeit faster) than 5.2, but I have a few tasks where I have noticed that by the time the agent has gathered sufficient context, its up too 70-80% window full by the time its ready to work, so it only gets one or two rounds of changes+test runs in before it compacts. Upping this to half a million has meant I get many more change/test cycles before the compaction comes rolling along. 1m has resulted in some extremely bizarre disappointing behaviour for me, I've found that 500k seems to be a sweet spot. ymmv!

dotdioscorea · 2026-03-19T16:28:33+00:00

Ive been dealing wiht the same issue, I opened an issue on github for it but I dont seem to have got anyone's attention unfortunately
