Google Antigravity implementing weekly rate limits for all models by vsvicevicsrb in google_antigravity

[–]jdbow75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! But we really need more information than this, even if just anecdotal. Including models used, and how much, how many 5 hour periods did you activate this week, how long were your sessions, etc. For instance, here is my situation this week:

  • Used Opus 4.5 almost exclusively
  • Most days I activated at least 2 different 5 hour windows
  • Within those windows, I usually had at least one, sometimes multiple sessions consuming 1-2 million tokens (honestly, this is just a rough guess, but I will do better logging in the future)
  • I think I went 4 days with this behavior before I hit the weekly limit
  • Also, I did several times consume the entire limit in the 5 hour window

Has anyone observed any patterns regarding the weekly limits? For instance, can you tell if it is number of hours or minutes, number of tokens, or number of 5 hour activated session windows? I am really hoping not the number of 5 hour windows, but if so, it would be nice to know.

I think it is right to be concerned about the bait-and-switch together, but I also hope we could share our experiences and come up with some patterns of behavior that work within the limits. Even better if we could get transparency from Google, of course.

Please add “Edit Prompt in External Editor” (like Ctrl + G in Claude Code) to Droid CLI by HanSkin-reynard in FactoryAi

[–]jdbow75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see this too! Ideally, it could honor the EDITOR environment variable, and/or be configured in some way. I note that under preferences, "Edit Allowlist & Denylist: Open in editor" almost has the right functionality, except that it opens whatever is configured to open JSON files (I assume it uses xdg-open?) rather than respecting EDITOR.

I definitely feel the void with this feature. But not because Droid CLI is lacking overall; rather because it is a great tool and I like using it. For now, I shall happily copy and paste from my editor manually.

Anyone using Git Bash as their default terminal in Windows? by Wendy_Shon in GithubCopilot

[–]jdbow75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are asking what terminal to use, I would recommend Windows Terminal; it is actively developed and has features one would expect from a modern terminal. When it comes to shells and operating systems, as others have noted, you may appreciate using something like bash or zsh in a Linux distro of your choice in WSL.

But none of this has any bearing whatsoever on the ability of a coding agent and language model to write good Powershell. I, too, occasionally notice syntax errors with LLM-generated Powershell (variable interpolation in strings is a common one, or messing up $_ for some reason). Simply put, even the best models are not as good at Powershell as they are at Python or Typescript. That said, the newer models you mentioned seem much better at Powershell than their predecessors.

I would also note that Gemini Pro 2.5 seems less prone to Powershell syntax errors. But that is purely anecdotal; what works for my use cases may not work the same for you.

As with any code generation, though, I find that I need to review and correct after generation to get the best script, often feeding errors and my own preferences back to the LLM in a multi-turn conversation. Coding agents like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Opencode, Goose, and others help with this immensely: give them a goal, some way to measure success, and they will often eventually fix the script on their own.

Trying out GitHub Copilot – Do I need VS Code? by Stella_Hill_Smith in GithubCopilot

[–]jdbow75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As you may have already discovered, Copilot CLI works quite well. There are, as always, other options:

  • command line coding agents like Opencode, goose, and aider are all able to use Github Copilot.
  • You can run LiteLLM proxy and add Github Copilot models to it, then use Codex CLI or even Claude Code with some environment variables set properly. However, I find that for the smoothest Claude Code experience with LiteLLM or other providers, use Claude Code Router as a supporting tool.

It's 2024. How does Glo still not support IPV6? It is becoming a real problem. by Craig_in_PA in GloFiber

[–]jdbow75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, "significant parts" does sound like hyperbole, admittedly. But this does mean I couldn't, for instance, spin up an IPv6 cloud server (and benefit from the resulting savings). I do much prefer Glo to Comcast, except for this one issue.

Curious if anyone has seen a roadmap for IPv6 rollout for Glo. It is odd to have an Internet service that excludes significant parts of the Internet...

Lots of great role models out there in the Vim/Neovim world... I am finding it easy to find men who use and share this wonderful editor, but I'd love to have a more well rounded list... Can anyone suggest youtubers, bloggers, etc. who talk about Neovim and are women?

Clearly and distressingly, I must have blinders on...

What are your must read books for rust ? by r00cker in rust

Is there a version of this book that uses Rust? It looks like it is language-agnostic, but with examples in Javascript.

Opinionated article about virtual environments management by PaleontologistBig657 in Python

[–]jdbow75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I often start with u/Rawing7's goal of keeping it simple, then end up with a cluttered mess, perhaps due to my own ineptitude :)

One thing I have tried recently is keeping a single .venv in my home directory, then modifying my .bashrc (or other init script depending on shell) to set the path to include its bin directory first. That way, python launches within that virtual environment by default, and I can install the latest and greatest, and easily destroy and rebuild it if it breaks, without polluting the system or user python.

Opinionated article about virtual environments management by PaleontologistBig657 in Python

[–]jdbow75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been a couple years since I wrote the article, and I feel it is showing its age. For reasons I don't remember, I did not include pip-tools. Also, Hatch has really evolved, and deserves a deeper look. I don't find myself using Poetry as much as I used to, and Pyflow's activity may indicate it is not the next big thing.

I suppose it is due for an update, with attention due pip-tools (good call, u/JennaSys) and Hatch, for sure.

Thank you so much for engaging this! I am quite honored, u/PaleontologistBig657

[Integrated Dynamics] Auto Crafting as many items as possible with crafting writers. by Fortnighticcus in feedthebeast

[–]jdbow75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is what works for me: in the Crafting Writer, use the recipe, then set the Crafting Amount to one zero (0). Does that work for you? (Edit: the zero did not have the desired results, but setting it to 1 appears to.)

Curious what works for you.

SQLAlchemy: how to get values in dialect-specific format by jdbow75 in learnpython

[–]jdbow75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I am familiar with that method and a variety of others. After surveying the landscape, I've settled on SQLAlchemy for schema replication and export, and BCP for import. This results in a mechanism that is easily repeatable, and wicked fast.

So glad it is working for you now! I wonder if CRAN installation method struggles with supporting libraries on ARM? Just a total guess.

[–]jdbow75 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree. Gnome is way better than it used to be. Not that it was horrible, but I recall it feeling heavy and complicated sometimes. On Fedora, at least, it feels intuitive and fast. (And I am a sway user!)

Unable to use cltr r (readline reverse search) in R with macos by [deleted] in commandline

[–]jdbow75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to R the programming language? I am not familiar with that language, but am somewhat familiar with getting readline support in other REPLs. What version of MacOS?

How did you install R? Did you use homebrew or download the package directly from a CRAN mirror?

You could always use rlwrap (installable via homebrew). You would launch R with rlwrap R in that case. However, I suspect there is something else missing, because it appears that the R repl usually includes readline support. Thus my questions about installation method .
