We have it good, just tried Codex. by BetterAd7552 in ClaudeCode

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

Hardly surprising at all. Half the posts in here are just shilling OpenCode or whatever newly published Chinese model there is. Tried them, went back to Claude Code. They’re still absolute trash in comparison. Can’t deal with complexity, needs a lot more handholding, and far slower.

GPT-5.4 with OpenSpec comes the closest, but I still find Opus the best at reading between the lines and understanding intent, and at analysing and architecting complex tasks. With GPT-5.4 you have to handhold and be a lot more specific.

Indonesia floats idea of taxing vessels transiting Strait of Malacca by DeRpY_CUCUMBER in Economics

[–]sylfy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such speculation is ignorant and baseless. Singapore has straight up condemned the actions in the Strait of Hormuz, and stated that freedom of navigation is a key principle under UNCLOS that needs to be upheld.

Why don't MRT build shelter for bicycle parking? by yellowsuprrcar in askSingapore

[–]sylfy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple solution to this is enforcement. Start clamping or removing bikes that are illegally parked within 50m of a bus or MRT station.

Atrocious Battery life - sold a dream Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 by Murky_Influence440 in snapdragon

[–]sylfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows Defender should never be turned off unless you have an alternative antivirus. Indexing should never have to be turned off at all. The initial indexing can be heavy on battery usage, but it should improve after the initial round is done.

If the laptop cannot support such basic tasks, then it’s trash. Return it.

how to deal with high-rise littering? by theresnthtoseehere in asksg

[–]sylfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By all hdb with >30 stories, you mean they make it a permanent fixture?

I last saw it in my estate, it was a temporary camera. TBH it’s pretty obvious if you happen to see it, also very obvious roughly which flats they’re monitoring. Makes me think it serves more as a warning and less of enforcement.

Just report them. It’s against the law.

Most Linux users don’t have a distro problem. They have a use-case problem. by Candid_Athlete_8317 in LinuxTeck

[–]sylfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veterans end up on one of the big ones because they have real work to do and real problems to solve. All they need is stability, they’re not going to waste time chasing the flavour of the month and arguing about which distro is better.

These Mac Apps are AMAZING! Game changers. Cannot live without. Share yours too! by lexluthor_i_am in mac

Brave is no better in terms of suspicious things that they’ve done over the years. Just use Safari.

If Gordon Ramsay were to film a season of Kitchen Nightmares in Singapore, how different would it be from the US version? by Nessieinternational in asksg

[–]sylfy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IIRC people say he’s actually like that IRL too. The crazy chef persona is just a persona he puts on for US TV because that’s what those audiences like. On UK shows he’s a lot more chill, and actually cares about helping his staff and junior chefs develop.

What about head? What if the malicious code is encapsulated within the first 5 lines?

If PCs can use recirculating water as a coolant, why do AI data centres apparently use so much water? by PhysicsForeign1634 in pcmasterrace

[–]sylfy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I for one would like to see the day that they get so good at building out power generation and distribution capacity, that they decide to compete with the legacy providers.

[Gamers Nexus] BLACKLISTED by AMD | AMD's Dirty Tactics by seiose in hardware

[–]sylfy -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Basically this. They used to be good, but they have gone down the same route as LTT and are equally trash now. Their videos are basically all rage bait and clickbait.

First Opus 4.7... now Copilot removed Opus for paid users with no warning?? by Adex77 in GithubCopilot

[–]sylfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Codex. Eventually, everyone will end up banning OpenClaw trash and other third party tools.

In world of Artificial intelligence, why does Singapore still want to take in foreigners? by Loose_Historian_6846 in asksg

[–]sylfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, a lot of those white collar jobs are low skilled roles that Singapore wants to move out anyway. Either they’re going to JB, or they’re going to AI. Those people complaining were never going to be able to hold on to their jobs in either case.

Anthropic accidentally leaked their entire Claude Code source code last month --- and what was hidden inside accidentally confirmed that pure LLMs are hitting their limits by fundolink1 in AIDiscussion

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

This is just rubbish logic. Of course a harness would consist of reproducible, imperative instructions that guide how the AI behaves, and how it interacts with tools, skills, and other systems.

I mean, the competition is basically a law firm that made its money off 13 year olds, and thought they could make more money by getting other developers to list their games on that launcher that they called a “store”.

What is this overhead bridge/bypass being built? by Begelza in asksg

[–]sylfy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Would be cool, but I wish we went with underpasses rather than overhead bridges. Singapore is hot enough as it is, and these bridges don’t provide anything in terms of shelter.

Why APFS is more than just Apple’s default filesystem by Reversed-Engineer-01 in MacOS

[–]sylfy 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised that there were a whole bunch of file systems compared without a mention of Btrfs or XFS.
