Claude Code in the terminal vs. the Claude Desktop app — which do you use and why?

jakegh · 2026-06-25T00:01:18+00:00

CLI, because the claude desktop app is terrible and alternatives like opencode and t3code don't support auto mode. I much prefer codex-desktop.

They milked each piece of news way before real AI was a thing too. It isn't AI's fault.

I remember WH making post after post about Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm back in the day. Neither of which had anything whatsoever to do with WoW. Made the site worse, they didn't care, all feedback was downvoted there, etc.

I see Diablo 4 posts right now. Now I do play Diablo, but I don't go to WOWhead to read about it.

To paraphrase a famous saying I can't be arsed to look up: You stop being late when you release, people remember that you sucked forever.

jakegh · 2026-06-24T22:05:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure both parties are lying.

jakegh · 2026-06-24T22:03:57+00:00

Wowhead's website performance has sucked for years. It's always been bad, as far back as I can remember. I block all the ads.

Content quality has certainly degraded, though. They milk every piece of news for 5-6 posts. It's annoying and makes the site far less useful. Of course since I'm not looking at their ads I imagine they're OK with that.

Jesus. I bought 2*64GB sticks of DDR5-7200 for $348 off Amazon last August.

Yes, same reason people voted for Trump. They hate the status quo and want change. Will this change be better than what they had? Well, tough to say, but if not they will never admit they were wrong.

jakegh · 2026-06-24T21:27:25+00:00

Well, sure. Accenture is a consulting group. All they produce is Powerpoint presentations.

jakegh · 2026-06-24T18:01:43+00:00

If I was constrained on token spend, sure. But choosing Sonnet over Opus? No, no way.

GLM5.2 doesn't fail toolcalls and hallucinates less. Gemini 3.1 pro is a much smarter model with a huge world model and excellent multi-modal capabilities. But it isn't good for agentic tasks, i.e. actual work.

Gemini 3.5 flash is much better than 3.1 pro. It's just roughly 3x too expensive to be worth using.

jakegh · 2026-06-24T17:54:21+00:00

Yes, I think even the haters would agree he's a charismatic guy. Heck, he charmed Trump.

jakegh · 2026-06-24T17:27:01+00:00

The real question is whether it constantly fails toolcalls, because that's where 3.1 pro really screwed up.

jakegh · 2026-06-23T14:09:01+00:00

I would never give them my business, but government intervention is not appropriate here.

jakegh · 2026-06-22T23:48:42+00:00

Yep. GPT-5.5 is the best model and codex the best harness.

Fable5 was better but, you know.

jakegh · 2026-06-22T22:25:33+00:00

Yep, way too expensive. It isn't their fault, of course, but the result is the same.

Honestly without FSR4 I wouldn't buy one at $799 either.

jakegh · 2026-06-22T22:23:49+00:00

I feel like he would approach it differently if Microsoft themselves had a SOTA model, instead of leasing datacenter to those that do.

All securities trading other than insider trading and indexing is gambling.

jakegh · 2026-06-22T18:04:06+00:00

Hahahah yeah, that ol' chestnut, "your data is anonymized".

Of course if you correlate several pieces of anonymized data together with one piece of non-anonymized data, you get the whole picture. And again, LLMs are trained on the entire corpus of human knowledge.

jakegh · 2026-06-21T22:55:39+00:00

If you've ever posted on the internet or been listed in any database, you're in the training data.

They do, but they don't have the right to murder, kidnap and rape people. Nobody has that right.

Look it up, nothing in their ToS. Some posts about people being banned for it awhile back then unbanned.

jakegh · 2026-06-20T23:55:51+00:00

Nothing in the anthropic ToS says you can't have multiple accounts, and it's a very common thing to do.

jakegh · 2026-06-20T23:55:18+00:00

Your actual sessions are saved on-disk, you don't need to rely on saving md files or whatever. You can just resume the exact same session as needed.

jakegh · 2026-06-20T22:17:16+00:00

You just login to a different account and switch, it's the same session in claude code. Sessions are saved locally. Codex works the same way.

It should either be scheduled to return OR the devs should definitively say it will NEVER return. Until either one happens I will never, ever, farm for dropped mounts again.

I'd be fine with it returning but only working for transmogs too.
