I tried Cline with chatgpt 4.1 and I was charged - there are some free credits when you sign up for Cline that it used.

Not sure how you got it for free?

GH Copilot is my guess. Not free, but $10 a month or free for students

Highly recommend getting the $20/month OpenAI sub and letting copilot use that. Quality-wise I feel like I'm getting the same results but OAIs limits are a little more sane.

How do you link the openai sub to Gh copilot? I thought you needed to use OpenAI api

I am pretty interested in what the person letting it run 24/7 is achieving. Is it a continuously processing workload of some kind that pipes into the model? Maybe a 24/7 chat support with high throughput? Very curious.

Ah. The Garmin Varia looks like it’s $200-300. Would be hard to go up against a brand like that, but wonder if you could compete on cost. The margins look great.
debian3 · a month ago
There is tons of cheaper alternatives now. Some chinese brand. The implementation is particularly hard to get right (how to avoid object that enters the radar field of view like passing next to a fence among other tricky scenario like a car that follow at the same speed as you but suddenly accelerate to pass you, etc). A lot of competiting radars will have false positives or negatives. That’s why Garmin is still the favorite product on the market. Wahoo just released one as well, and the reviews are quite positive so far. Bryton makes one, Magene, Giant, Trek, igpsport, etc.

What no name brands?

BYD is as old as Tesla (2003) and XPeng is more than 10 years old at this point.

debian3 · 2 months ago
The two biggest is BYD and Geely. Pretty much the Toyota/Honda of China.

I have used Zed's plane with Claude and also Claude Code. They are very different experiences. Zed's agent work is very much a set it, go away, review, give some tips to it, iterate. As long as you use the Sonnet and absolutely avoid the burn mode (formerly max mode), it should do a lot of work for you. The main limitation I hit is the context window. As the codebase gets larger, it takes more context for it to get going and then it tends to have a hard time finishing. I find that about 4 prompts works for a feature that would take me a few hours to code.

For Claude Code, the limit is reset every 5 hours so if you hit it, you rest a bit. Not that big a deal to me. But the way it works I find much more stressful. It is reviewing just about everything it is doing. It is step-by-step. Some of it you can just say Yes, do it without permission, but it likes to run shell commands and for obvious reasons arbitrary shell commands need your explicit Yes for each run. This is probably a great flow if you want a lot of control in what it is doing. And the ability to intercede and redirect it is great. But if you want more of a "I just want to get the result and minimize my time and effort" then Zed is probably better for that.

I am also experimenting with OpenAI's codex which is yet a different experience. There it runs on repos and pull requests. I have no idea what their rate/limit stuff will be. I have just started working with it.

Of the three, disregarding cost, I like Zed's experience the best. I also think they are the most transparent. Just make sure never to use the burn mode. That really burns through the credits very quickly for no real discernible reason. But I think it is also limited to either small codebases or prompts that limit what the agent is going through to get up to speed due to the context window being about 120k (it is not 200k as the view seems to suggest).

There are plenty of cheap LED lamps with inadequate cooling or other bad components, which will become defective after a relatively short time.

I have switched all the lighting in 2 apartments to LED lamps, more than 10 years ago, and no lamp has gone defective until now.

However, they were Philips lamps and not one of their cheapest models, but some model with 1521 lumen @ 13 W and 4000 K color temperature, i.e. slightly more luminous than the classic 100 W incandescent lamps and with almost white light, only very slightly yellowish, very unlike the yellow lamps with a color temperature under 3000 K, and also very unlike the cheap bluish lamps with a 6500 K color temperature.

My LED lamps are screwed in traditional incandescent lamp fixtures, which hang from the ceiling, but unlike some bad lamp fixtures, mine have below them a diffusive screen, to avoid direct light, but they are completely open above, so they do not impede cooling.

Philips are great. I installed the Phillips hue in 2013, they are still going strong. I replaced one out of the 40 or so over the years. It didn’t burn out, it was turning back on by itself…

I've been using Elixir with Gemini for the past couple days, and the LLM is less successful than it has been with other languages I use. It gets stuck sometimes - for example it couldn't figure out how to use a JWT encoding/decoding library so I needed to intervene. Have I already gotten this spoiled by uncanny performance with Go/Ruby and especially JS/TS?
debian3 · 3 months ago
Gemini is not great in Elixir, Sonnet is the best by far.

Have I got bad news for you.... Microsoft announced imposing limits on "premium" models from next week. You get 300 "free" requests a month. If you use agent, you consume about 3-4 requests per action easily, I estimate to burn through 300 in about 3-5 working days.

Basically anything that isnt gpt4o is premium, and I find gpt4o near useless compared to Claude and Gemini in copilot.

The default unlimited model is now gpt 4.1 https://github.blog/changelog/2025-05-08-openai-gpt-4-1-is-n...

This week OpenAI released newer models, so it could now use a reassessment. They are: gpt-4.1 family, o3, o4-mini. Users are benefiting from the ongoing competition which hopefully will last all the way to self-improving AGI.

Tried them, sonnet is still where it’s at. Not sure what is the special sauce at Anthropic.
