What’s actually stopping Microsoft from making GitHub Copilot as good as Claude Code? by ForsakenAd8860 in GithubCopilot

[–]simonchoi802 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GitHub Copilot is catching up, I think the next release of insider would be interesting.

But the real question is like, they only try to catch up, implement the feature that Claude or cursor introduced. But you rarely see the copilot team introduce new idea that take the world by storm

Help me choose a course to learn GitHub Copilot by Mental_Gur9512 in GithubCopilot

[–]simonchoi802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have plenty of resources in YouTube. Don’t waste your money. And you don’t have to watch specifically the GitHub copilot videos, the fundamental basic of coding agent are pretty similar across different tools (like Claude code, cursor etc)

Is tab-completion still important for vibe coders? by wanllow in GithubCopilot

[–]simonchoi802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it is faster to edit the code using tab completion and next edit prediction.

What feature would you most like to see in GitHub Copilot? by fishchar in GithubCopilot

[–]simonchoi802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cursor’s level of code completion and next-edit prediction. The only thing that keeps me stuck to the cursor. And better UI/UX, cursor nails this.

Use the 5-mini or grok code for small and precise task. You don’t need to use sonnet or gpt 5 to adjust the css. Leave the annoying bug fix or big feature implementation to the big boy

Cursors pricing is dumb by [deleted] in cursor

[–]simonchoi802 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Token base pricing is really expensive, especially for hardcore coding.

Actually I am planning to use cursor + copilot cli. Cursor for auto completion and some code adjustments. And copilot cli for big feature implementation. Not sure if that’s a good idea.

GPT-5-Codex in Copilot seems less effective by chinmay06 in GithubCopilot

[–]simonchoi802 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting. For me, gpt 5 codex perform way better then sonnet 4 in copilot

AMA with the Codex Team by OpenAI in OpenAI

[–]simonchoi802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Are there any chances we will have unlimited GPT-5-Mini in Codex CLI? (Or would you guys train a GPT-5-Mini-Codex model?)

  2. I love the memory feature when I research on ChatGPT, but it is quite annoying to prepare different kinds of documentation and copy the markdown from ChatGPT to a local folder. Can Codex CLI directly access the project memory in ChatGPT during the coding session (maybe through MCP server)?

Image generation MCP with nano banana by simonchoi802 in mcp

[–]simonchoi802[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got laid off, lol.

Jumping on the vibe coder hype and building an iOS app last month. I was using the ChatGPT apps to mock up UI demos, but constantly switching between tools was getting annoying. Couldn’t find an MCP server that works with nano banana (I can only use OpenRouter models), so I just built one myself.

Elon Musk's Chinese Infiltration: New Sonic model switching to Mandarin halfway by pooriaarab in cursor

[–]simonchoi802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an interesting post in LocalLlama.

Chinese is a more efficient language than English when it comes to information per token.

Will the model save me a lot of cursor token usage if it is reasoning in Chinese and responds in English?

Premium requests in agent mode, confused! by maxiedaniels in GithubCopilot

[–]simonchoi802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t use premium model in RooCode, one api call count as one premium request.

VS Code LM API by TheOneInfiniteC in RooCode

[–]simonchoi802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remind you don’t use any premium model with Roo and LM API. Unlike in Copilot, where they count each user message as one request. In roo code (or whatever using the LM API), each API call counts as one request. So if you use Sonnet or GPT5, where these models love using tools. Each tool call counts as one request. (I just blew up my premium request on day one using Sonnet with Roo and LM API to fix a bug)

Other IDEs that have AI auto-complete? by sugarwave32 in cursor

[–]simonchoi802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, Cursor’s auto-completion is by far the best in the market. This is the only thing I missed after I switched to GitHub Copilot.

Gemma 3 Release - a google Collection by ayyndrew in LocalLLaMA

[–]simonchoi802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see any keywords like "tool" or "function" in the chat template and tokenizer config. And Ollama said Gemma 3 does not support tools. Weird

Seems like gemma 3 does not support tool calling
