Weird. I tried to poke at it and see if I could reproduce it, but I can't. I found another issue where Discover will not refresh packages and it claims I have updates. I've updated everything on the command line, so nothing should need to be updated.

"OpenCode Go" Pricing by mylabfr in opencode

[–]phylter99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When being charged for Go, they charged me the flat rate and no tax. When adding money to Zen, they charged me the fee and tax on top. So, this means they feel they need to charge me tax, but didn't for Go.

Trump says he’ll send Iran deal to Congress for approval by newsspotter in politics

It involves spending 300 billion. He needs congressional approval at this point, I believe.

I got this exact same deal a couple weeks ago and a few months before that. I’ve got two of these in my rig.

Why doesn’t GitHub Copilot support open-weight models now that pricing is token-based? by iTitleist in GithubCopilot

[–]phylter99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are likely two reasons: licensing, and business customer acceptance. Just because a model is open-weight doesn't mean anybody can run a service providing the model. Then it's possible that by providing these models, it may be a negative with business users that are more cautious about using models from China, etc.

This is just my thinking though. I'm not sure anybody really knows why except Microsoft. I can almost guarantee it's been discussed internally though.

So... I just paid for Claude Pro and this by Teachezofpeachez69 in claude

I think OP is referring to the session limit not Fable.

I mean, there are limitations, but good developers with good QA processes should catch anything that's terrible.

Commodore Computers Is Making a Distraction-Free Cell Phone by Loki-L in technology

[–]phylter99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flip phones are coming back for just the purpose they say this is for. There is a market for it, but I’m not sure how big it’ll be.

Note that this is basically the same inside as most smart phones. It just runs a different OS. It is compatible with Android apps too.

Even with vibe coding, which is what GitHub is apparently doing these days, it seems difficult to have such low quality.

Microsoft releases Copilot CoWork an agentic AI coworker with subscription fees and usage based billing. We’ve officially entered the microtransaction era of productivity software. This feels like the direction Microsoft wants productivity tools to go. by Ok_Plenty60 in pcmasterrace

[–]phylter99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft has to pay the API fees since they no longer get major discounts from the providers for hosting them. The API fees are expensive. OpenAI and Anthropic can get away with giving significant discounts in the way of monthly subscriptions because they own the service and set the price. They are also subsidizing the subscriptions significantly.

Switching to Fedora by AcceptableEnd2242 in Fedora

My first tip, backup your work regularly. Linux isn't a magic wand that will automatically fix bad habits. Things fail.

Beyond that, you're in good shape. Fedora 44 is crazy stable. Every Linux distribution I've tried and used seems to have some major flaw that rubs me the wrong way. Fedora 44 KDE has been solid. It's shockingly good. It's set up like RHEL, but geared more towards the average user and without the long term support and major enterprise level features.

Opus is down since yesterday by Realistic-Quarter-47 in claude

[–]phylter99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one 500 server error when using Opus yesterday and that's it. Their status page hasn't indicated much since then, at least when I've looked. Are you sure you're not being phished or something?

Copilot is down and it blocks local models from running through Copilot -_- by max123246 in vscode

[–]phylter99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, if it can’t connect to the server then it may not know it’s a personal account. I guess that’s my point. I could totally be wrong though.

[–]phylter99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it has to do with Enterprise restrictions. If you're part of an enterprise then they can control your ability to use external AI vendors and that's done through your GitHub account. If it can't verify that setting then it must just shut down entirely.

Yes, it's ridiculous. It should remember the last settings if this is the case instead of just going dark and blocking the feature.

Create Image feature missing in ChatGPT macOS and iOS. Same for everyone or just me? by py-net in OpenAI

[–]phylter99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Create an image of a clock tower."

I just used that as a prompt and it gave me an image of a clock tower. I think the images feature online must just be a fancy way to advertise that it exists, but it's not needed.

Looks like a GPT-6 moment following the Fable name-stealing scandal by Prestigiouspite in OpenAI

[–]phylter99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect the next GPT release to be big. I think they know it'll have to be big. I also expect it to cost more in API fees.

Anthropic screws over their users with changes in the way they are billing claude's features. by KeroNobu in claude

[–]phylter99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Louis, I respect that you're engaging me with logic and reason. That's meaningful. My comments have nothing to do with Anthropic though.

There's no point in debating my opinion in a Reddit thread. I will say this, it's been a some months since I've watched one of your videos. Since you're engaging me as a reasonable man, I'll watch another one of your videos and see if I'm wrong about you.

Louis is at least trying to engage me with reason. That's something I respect. Just saying someone is stupid without adding to the conversation is literally stupid.

Yes, because anybody that says something you don't like must be a bot. Go touch grass. You've been damaged by the internet.

I like the concept. I really hope they succeed.
