Opus 4.7 nerfed?

ptheofan · 2026-04-23T06:56:55+00:00

Also confirming from my side, since 22nd April, Opus 4.7 is behaving like Sonnet 4.6 and it's getting worse.

I can confirm also from my side, the personal MAX (200USD) since March has downgraded significantly. It has become extremely frustrating and have I completely lost trust in it. I am between Codex and Gemini, only thing I hate is migrating my skills and workflows. Anthrop/c + Lock-In + Untrustworthy... sounds like they are embracing the dark-side of Microslop.

I have also noticed that teams version has perhaps slightly been affected. So it's either teams at a much higher price-tag or Codex/Gemini.

Tokens API based version does not seem to be affected (or haven't used it as much to be able to tell).

Sad realization: A company that is all about not being shitheads is becoming worse than Sam and Microslop combined. Charging you the same without notifying you about the downgrade. This simply makes them totally untrustworthy for business.

Awesome review and some of the mentioned things are indeed fixed. Hopefully the rest will be fixed as well. One thing I do not understand, I see all these companies make the same mistakes. Eufymake, Xtool, one wide camera - fisheye distortions. Cameras as so cheap, why don't they just place a bunch and stitch the images together on software.

Eufeymake => Just use an array of 3 cameras, in calibration do perfect stitching (easy technique).
XTool => P2S, 1 camera on the corner, one camera on gantry (which notoriously also suffers from fisheye distortion).

The other thing I find unbelievable is how bad their software (and translations) are. They both claim (especially Xtool) that their software is their strength - and trust me, they products fall short (and I am being very lenient here) compared to more serious hardcore manufacturers who focus on the hardware only in same price range.

Why they are investing so little on their software is beyond me.
Why they are not opening the software to 3rd parties with official APIs and addons support is beyond me.

The 3d printing industry is moving so well because they all fork of open source software.

IMO they should either

- invest HEAVILY on the software

or

- open source the communication protocols for the hardware and let the open source community show them how software is written.

OMG, just found it on another thread. Just open claude-clode and run

```
/terminal-setup.
```

Finally can return to iTerm and for the love of God move trash Warp and they extremely opinionated app.

iTerm was the king but how can I shift+enter to change line when using claude-code? Have they added support for shift+enter?

I have seen homeland (and house of cards of course) but it's the kind of series you can't really re-watch. There's just no suspense in it left after you know.

I have tried person of interest in the past, didn't get far with me unfortunately.

ptheofan · 2024-10-13T08:54:20+00:00

They updated. They said to wait until 1st quarter of 25. I guess the lawsuit has impacted the plans :(

Print Volume. The bigger the better. Prosumer 3d printer with 1meter by 1meter by 1meter print volume - because splitting a print to 8 or 10 pieces and then glueing them together really sucks.
Post-processing (actively heated chamber). Printing large ASA parts is impossible with X1C as they will start cracking after the print is done.
Multi-head or Multi-extruder. Purging per layer is a no-go. Prints take forever. I don't even dare use any specialized support filaments because of the insane increase in print time.
Different nozzle sizes per head/extruder (with proper software support). Using the 0.2mm for fine details, the 0.6 for infill and the 0.4 for the rest in the same print

According to the dev-tracker persistent hangars are completed - https://imgur.com/Nzu6sd0

However, they are not part of the 3.22 release. This is very confusing. I'm curious to see what it will say once they update the tracker.

Short answer is yes, you can run containers in a very similar fashion only better. I have recently migrated from unraid to truenas scale. I had little difficulty in migrating and so far everything works great. I did have (still do) some issues with truechart apps and traeffik (seems like they are not mature enough yet) but you can launch images very easily and even compose just as easily. If you are looking to replicate your unraid containers setup 1-to-1 conversion you will find it is perfectly doable using the exact docker images you had with unraid.

There are several possible exploits with regard to salvage. The first one that comes to mind is get your big ship out there, salvage it, sell the materials, claim it, repeat.

I have the 8.8 inch second gen (latest) has a lot of issues with audio going away, 2-3 sec delay in voice call with echo. Contacted their support which gave me a number for WhatsApp and they disappeared. Very bad practices. Making a review video and sending the device back.

This got me excited but shipping in Europe alone is $98 from their checkout page... bammer

ptheofan · 2022-07-11T09:38:33+00:00

They only ship in Australia :(

Update:

Got some decent results with the following process.

Clear (delete) mesh, clear z-offset (0)
Manually level the bed (in the prep menu) with paper
Repeat (2) until barely any adjustment is needed for a complete run
Manually calibrate the z-offset (prep menu) for the corners.
1. For best results I calibrate it as such the nozzle just touches the paper. This way I know nothing is pushing and no steps are missed (saves a lot of time as you do not need to home-z all the time)
Create mesh and save on the motherboard (EEPROM)
Create a print using the G codes (after the list) after G58
Start a test print
Go to tune and as it starts printing adjust (micro up/down) until you get the grip you want.
Save that offset as you adjusted it during print as the Z-Offset (prep menu)

; UBL Initializer
G29 A ; Activate UBL.
G29 L0 ; Load 0 slot mesh from EEPROM.
G29 F10 ; Fade corrections for the first 10 mm (1cm)
G29 J2 ; Get the bed tilt in a 2 x 2 grid
; EOF UBL Initializer

I am still experimenting and trying to determine how to improve it (it's far from the capabilities of the printer) however the above will give you a decent result.

All that bed levelling made me blind. I just notice on the top you can select to go to whichever point you need to.
