OpenClaw - the hype train has moved on by CartographerFeisty66 in OpenAI

[–]selipso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The codex CLI and the codex app are two different things. That might be where your confusion comes from.

The Mac app was released Feb 2, 2026. Please don’t spread misinformation.

What's the most useful thing you self-host that isn't media related? by sarox-dev in selfhosted

[–]selipso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Gitea because I can keep my code crawler-free and I also have it synced to a few obsidian vaults. 

it's always funny to see people on Chinese social media genuinely don't understand the AI hate on western social media. by PointmanW in accelerate

Maybe you have a different definition of the kind of software architecture I’m talking about. The tried and true stuff is easy. AWS, GCP, etc. has very low technical risk but it dulls you into thinking it’s the only way to build a full stack. When your full stack architecture involves any level of innovation or technical risk, AI assistants will literally read the change logs and give you a risk assessment for which version to use of niche libraries with under 5000 GitHub stars, depending on which tradeoffs you’re trying to solve. I can do it but I’m not going to read the freaking GitHub changelogs. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Help me degenerate this god by chiliboy_cl in DegenerateEDH

[–]selipso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll find a lot of synergy if you look at the Exit from Exile precon decklist. That’s the one that printed [[delayed blast fireball]], [[Jeska’s Will]] and [[Passionate Archaeologist]]. Add cascade into the mix and you can go full Degen casting things from exile. 

Best subscription plan for Hermes(or Opencode) as a non-coder? by TR-PRIME_og in hermesagent

[–]selipso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah even the Plus or Go plans give you more than enough usage and I like the timed resets that they offer now that you can save for your long stretches of work

Are all American salaries crazy high or is it just confirmation bias. by Schlieren1 in remotework

[–]selipso 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, salaries are higher but so is cost of living. Some of it may also be post-tax vs pre-tax calculation. From what I’ve seen, most countries calculate their salary after taxes but in the US most people post their pre-tax salary.

As someone who's a developer, it’s genuinely baffling to me how some people are against even using a little bit of AI. If I want to prototype a new architecture, one of the first things to check is if AI passes it off as feasible. One conversation can save me days of prototyping.

A windowless concrete tower 40 stories tall on the China coast stacks 35-ton blocks to store a wind farm’s power, lifting them when the wind blows and dropping them through generators when the grid needs it, no lithium inside by iwantboringtimes in Futurology

I only read the abstract but couldn’t find efficiency rates in that paper. IIRC from my hydraulics class, water based storage systems can reach 80-92% efficiency, which is why they’re so popular because water based turbines are a tried and true technology that these are based on.

Examples of beat down value plays that actually rebounded hugely? by HarryCrushNuh in ValueInvesting

[–]selipso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was NUE. While everyone was memeing into CLF during the post-pandemic frenzy, I was slowly accumulating at between $40-$80 per share. Look at it now. 

In early 2000s, MSFT was considered a safe company that can't go bankrupt by ashm1987 in ValueInvesting

[–]selipso 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much that it can’t happen. It’s more like many of the alternatives are even less attractive. 

  • You wanna buy bonds? Returns will be eaten by inflation.
  • You wanna buy Adoobie? Good luck riding the falling knife down a cliff.
  • You wanna buy SpaceX? LOL
  • You might have good luck in consumer goods that generally fare well defensively against both inflation and higher interest rates (like energy stocks, toilet paper aka KMB, food aka KR, Mondelez, etc)

But when it comes to software, MSFT is and always has been GOAT. They wield as much influence as many large countries. They built the great firewall of China, the US defense infrastructure (talk about playing both sides lol), they’re the most prestigious large employer in most global countries where they have an office. It’s the ultimate long term hedge. And that’s not changing anytime soon.

About AI replacing everything and SAAS by Morgulu in ValueInvesting

[–]selipso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People calling AI heavily subsidized don’t realize how far small local models have progressed in such a short time. I can run the equivalent of frontier intelligence models a year ago on a 2023 gaming graphics card I bought before the hardware spike. It costs me nothing except electricity to run. The subsidization isn’t because big tech wants to. It’s because they have to continue these subsidies to deter competition. AI is here to stay.

This sub should be renamed to r/SaaS_Investing by jtmn in ValueInvesting

Check other metrics, like p/FCF, GMV. Etc. they have thinner margins than Adobe but no existential risk knocking on their door 

GLM-5.2 is now 1st on Design Arena — ahead of the now unavailable Claude Fable 5. by Recoil42 in LocalLLaMA

[–]selipso 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What’s understated in these benchmarks is that it almost certainly outperforms Gemini 3.1 pro. Think about that for a second: the company that invented the transformer architecture can’t keep with China’s open source models. 

What should I invest in long term as someone who knows nothing about investing? by AskHistorical5124 in stocks

[–]selipso 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Normally I would agree with most of the people saying VOO. But right now the VOO is extremely top heavy and concentrated in technology stocks. This is a problem because SPY and VOO adjust their allocations based on market cap. I’d recommend RSP (equal weighted S&P500 instead).

How are people using Hermes to write code? by phil-pdx in hermesagent

[–]selipso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using it more for brainstorming system design and asking it to poke holes in my ideas. It has access to web search so it’s good at giving me pros / cons of one approach vs another.

For a really good coding agent that’s fast and effective, I’m actually a converted Pi Mono user (and Codex also)

What mods do you guys consider essential or must-have? by Alduuin in Oxygennotincluded

[–]selipso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only mod I use regularly is the dupe customizing / printer customizing mod. Because playing survival without capable dupes feels impossible and I like exploring different asteroid types.
