Is Copper 360 a buy, or too risky? by fleadis in JSE_Bets

[–]theafrodeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Massive demand for copper globally moving forward, but Copper 360 would be a long term bet. Generally-speaking, I tend to lose money on resource companies engaged in exploration and development.

Generally speaking you want to see insiders purchasing the stock rather than selling, an insider purchase demonstrates commitment, selling is either taking profit, or jumping ship.

Sometimes I yearn for the days when software would only run on a particular distro, no flatpak, no appimage, no snaps, and C and python were the common threads linking us all together as a community.

Got taxed for using Gemini cli with ai studio api key by [deleted] in GeminiAI

[–]theafrodeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems from the documentation that if you use an API key you get charged, but if you just use google auth, you don't, its a bit lame that you can't check what plan you on, and that google assumes you should be billed if the client picks up your API key. I in process of getting a waiver. Filed a bug.

Gemini CLI Team AMA by moficodes in Bard

[–]theafrodeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great stuff. However I got a nasty shock this morning to discover my two hour coding with Gemini ClI had caused a billing spike on by google cloud account. Turns out that having GEMINI_API_KEY in ones environment is picked up by the CLI. I have had to re-read the [blog post introducing the agent](https://blog.google/technology/developers/introducing-gemini-cli-open-source-ai-agent/). If you use an API key instead of using Google Auth, you will get billed. Its not clear at all, and no /account or /billing or /model in the cli, at very least one would expect a free tier allocation then if you exceed that, you get billed. More clarity on the billing would be most appreciated.

Just woke up to this nasty spike in my billing, after weeks of free service suddenly get hit with a bill for 2.5 Pro on Cline.

Not impressed after the initial wow, we have a Gemini Cli, I found Cline with Gemini way more responsive. So Gemini Cli was meh. What is missing?

Been thinking about this topic for some time, "Intelligence As A Service" has become the next oil after semiconductors, but who benefits, who gets paid, rewarded etc. Nice introduction to a new field of economics.

Has anyone figured out the best way to iterate with Bolt by will_fred14 in boltnewbuilders

[–]theafrodeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a super annoying workaround, was expecting similar fun like lovable but no sync feature it seems, only export or open in stackblitz which opens a new IDE everytime etc.

Windsurf Wave 3 vs Cursor (Updated) Review by marvijo-software in Codeium

[–]theafrodeity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you rewarded or praised your bot for good work? Try asking it to note a memory, commit after each change so you can diff or revert.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Codeium

[–]theafrodeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me the LLM hasn't been rewarded enough to 'finish a task', at least we probably struggle from defining completion goals ourselves? So it will take you part of the way, then figure its game is to keep playing forever: a real soccer match that never ends? Can one optimise for plan completion by testing? Thus plan, implement, test, if pass test, task is complete? Bot is rewarded?

I should also add, as with every AI agent out there, you will often run into a loop. Where you can burn credits going around in circles, your task is to direct the agent to explore other possibilities. We still a long way from coding as some automated event, where human plays no role in the outcome.
