I picked up the 128gb version when it was $2,199 and it runs Qwen 3.6 reasonably well with a 128kb context. Not very useful for complex tasks but it can handle some web stuff.
I've built a few little games for myself both with and without AI, and completely agree. AI can help prototype an idea faster, or clone something very specific, but it can't make your control scheme feel good, invent a unique mechanic, etc (at least not yet).
I used the IRS free fillable forms this year and it was much easier than I expected, including contractor, investment income, and foreign income declarations.
There's a bunch of stuff I include, depending on the project. Some general ones are commenting style and coding standards. In theory it should be able to do it without that by looking at the repo style, but I haven't found that to be the case (especially with overly verbose/repetitive comments).
A specific example in another project is the testing/verification procedure. It's a wasm/WebGPU and the test harness is fairly complex. There are scripts to handle it, but by default Claude will churn for a while to figure it out and sometimes just give up. It definitely saves a lot of tokens/speeds things up.
How ofter are you switching tips? It's been a while since I did any real soldering, but I don't remember often needing to switch in the middle of a session.
You don't need to be competing on the world stage to enjoy some of the benefits of Alpha flys or those pumas. 500 for the new Adidas does seem a little silly though.
I usually don't mind, but tend to split reviews into two types. Either I understand the context and can quickly do an in depth review, or I have to take some time to actually learn about the code by reviewing the surrounding systems, experimenting with it, etc. But in both cases I would at least run the code and verify correctness.
I think it becomes a chore when there are too many trivial mistakes, and you feel like your time would have been better spent writing it yourself. As models and agent frameworks improve I see this happening less and less.
I drag a tiny fetch wrapper around with error/json handling, timeouts and basic interceptor support. It doesn't cover everything axios does but it's nice enough and I haven't had to touch it in a couple years.
You might be surprised, there are plenty of low effort attacks out there that just install a crypto miner and phone home periodically without doing much to cover it up.
For that I'm not so sure. I tried both early 2025 and was disappointed in their ability to deal with a TCA based app (iOS) and Jetpack compose stuff on Android, but I assume Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 are much better.
That's interesting, I actively use both and usually find it to be a toss up which one performs better at a given task. I generally find Claude to be better with complex tool calls and Codex to be better at reviewing code, but otherwise don't see a significant difference.
