It's sort of frustrating that this constantly comes up. It's true that btrfs does have issues with RAID-5 and RAID-6 configurations, but this is frequently used (not necessarily by you) as some kind of gotcha as to why you shouldn't use it at all. That's insane. I promise that disk spanning issues won't affect your use of it on your tiny ThinkPad SSD.

It's important to note that striping and mirroring works just fine. It's only the 5/6 modes that are unstable: https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/Status.html#block-gro...

as it turns out raid 5 and 6 being broken is kind of a big deal for people. its also far from ideal that the filesystem has random landmines that you can accidentally step on if you don't happen to read hacker news every day.

These companies need to be destroyed by antitrust violations. I am so tired of these tech companies abusing their market position. I want the FTC to stop being toothless and useless and just absolutely crush these companies. The amount of disdain I have for these companies can't even be properly expressed.

Last time I checked hyprland was pretty much despised in the wider linux developer community. See for example https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html. Has anything about that changed?

the linux developer community is not a monolith and drew devault is an extremist activist gatekeeper.
risho commented on Claude Code is all you need   dwyer.co.za/static/claude... · Posted by u/sixhobbits

Is Claude Code better than the Gemini CLI? I've been using the Gemini CLI with Gemini 2.5 Pro and haven't been impressed. Maybe these LLMs aren't as good with Rust codebases? I'm guessing there are a lot more people looking to use these tools with JS and Python.

i've tried codex, cursor, and a few other agentic tools and nothing compares to claude code when it comes to UX. The other service's models are quickly catching up to claude, but the claude code ux is just magical to me. i havent used it with rust personally. like you suggested would be the average user, i've mostly stuck with js and python.

Just replying to ask you next week what your assessment on GPT5 is.
risho · 25 days ago
I've been trying it out with openai codex over the last day and a half and I have been incredibly impressed. It has been working quite well. I also had it look over some code that claude produced for me and it said that it would be better to approach it another way and it completely rewrote it in a way that actually was significantly better. The UX for codex is quite a bit worse than Claude Code, but the model has been good enough to justify the switch for now. I'm hopeful that cursor cli will eventually have a good enough ux such that I can switch to it and have access to all of the models rather than needing to use disparate tools for everything. I would strongly suggest you check out gpt 5 for agentic stuff if you are interested.

With all the frontier labs competing in this space now, and them letting you use your consumer subscription through the CLI, I don’t understand how the Cursor products will survive. Why pay an extra $X/mo when I can get this functionality included in the $Y/mo I’m already paying OAI/Anthropic/GOOG?
risho · a month ago
I think the complete opposite. I love the ux for claude code, but it would be better if it wasnt locked to a single vendor's model. It seems pretty clear to me that a vendor neutral product with a UX as good as Claude Code would be the clear winner.

is there a way to get it to display more information? its stuck not doing anything and i cant tell if that's because it timed out or it is running a script or it is thinking or what is even happening. sometimes it just does things without even giving any feedback at all. i dont know what it is thinking or what it is trying to do and i cant really see the output of the terminal commands it is running. it just pauses every once in a while and asks to run a command.

is there a way to make it more verbose?

over the last week or so I have put probably close to 70 hours into playing around with cursor and claude code and a few other tools (its become my new obsession). I've been blown away by how good and reliable it is now. That said the reality is in my experience the only models that actually work in any sort of reliable way are claude models. I dont care what any benchmark says because the only thing that actually matters is actual use. I'm really hoping that this new gpt model actually works for this usecase because competition is great and the price is also great.
risho commented on OpenAI dropped the price of o3 by 80%   twitter.com/sama/status/1... · Posted by u/mfiguiere
behnamoh · 3 months ago
how do we know it's not a quantized version of o3? what's stopping these firms from announcing the full model to perform well on the benchmarks and then gradually quantizing it (first at Q8 so no one notices, then Q6, then Q4, ...).

I have a suspicion that's how they were able to get gpt-4-turbo so fast. In practice, I found it inferior to the original GPT-4 but the company probably benchmaxxed the hell out of the turbo and 4o versions so even though they were worse models, users found them more pleasing.

Quantization is a massive efficiency gain for near negligible drop in quality. If the tradeoff is quantization for an 80 percent price drop I would take that any day of the week.

The interesting questions are:

- When will their toolset drop support for compiling for Intel / x86_64?

- When will they drop Rosetta2?

Compiling/delivering universal binaries is something that as a developer, especially for some markets, you’d like to keep. meaning we try to support older Macs as possible.

For Rosetta2, it might be less needed with all apps transitioned, but for developers using containers, it might be more important to have Intel based containers for a longer period.

risho · 3 months ago
seems like rosetta 2 will be around for a long time, especially considering they are still putting dev effort into game porting toolkit which is heavily dependent on rosetta 2.
