diego_sandoval··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Agree.

GPT 6 needs to be babysit, otherwise it starts doing ridiculous things.

diego_sandoval··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
I find GPT 6 to be lacking in common sense when it comes to interpreting my prompts.

I have to be more literal with it than with GPT 5.x, otherwise, it sometimes does something totally different than what I want.

diego_sandoval··on Rails World 2026 Opening Keynote [video]
> His politics [...] are framed with deliberate misuse of facts and data;

Any specific examples? I am/was out of the loop on this and had to Google "DHH politics" to know what people are talking about.

diego_sandoval··on Paint.net 5.2 alpha now runs on Linux
What the hell is going on with those people (or bots?)?
diego_sandoval··on I'm becoming AI-blind
When I read AI-generated prose that is aimed at the general public, I have the exact same feeling.

But when I ask Codex a technical question about coding, I don't get it at all. Codex replies to me in a very direct, technical manner, similar to the way I speak.

When I ask ChatGPT to be concise and technical, I get the same effect.

I think it's because prose aimed at the general public has to be very attention-baity --like the textual equivalent of a Mr. Beast video--, not because AI is incapable of writing like a human.

diego_sandoval··on AI-Generated GitHub Copilot “Autofix” Allowed Compromise of Snowflake's Jira
I know like 3 of those words.
diego_sandoval··on The AI Credit Resale Economy
If you sign a contract on paper, I 100% agree. It's fraud.

Signing up for it on a website and checking a box that says "I agree to the terms of service", I don't think carries the same weight. But maybe that's just me.

diego_sandoval··on The AI Credit Resale Economy
Except for the cases of credit card fraud, I don't see what's morally wrong with it, for it to be called "fraud".

It's just reselling.

Maybe people are starting to copy Anthropic's rhetoric of "everything that inconveniences me is fraud (e.g. distillation). Everything that benefits me is legit."

diego_sandoval··on Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering
On the list of languages/ecosystems that make me want to rip my hair off, Go is way below.

Javascript takes the throne on that one.

diego_sandoval··on Microsoft Responds to Outcry After Quiet Enterprise Install of Beta 'Photos' App
Why would you think that their behavior will change?
diego_sandoval··on Study links GLP-1 drugs to bigger jump in women's employment than a degree
I think there are studies that analyze height vs. career achievement.
diego_sandoval··on Startup founders urge Trump not to shut off Chinese open weight AI
You can be against both.
diego_sandoval··on Quality non-fiction books are the antithesis of AI slop
The title is tautological. Quality is the opposite of slop, AI or not.
diego_sandoval··on PlayStation can delete all your digital games after 3 years of inactivity (EU)
I've avoided buying any Lenovo product ever since their SuperFish fiasco.

At the beggining it surprised me that people still seriously recommended Lenovo products (even hackers). Now, my brain automatically "adblocks" the entire brand out when I'm looking to buy a new laptop or monitor, as it knows I can't buy it.

diego_sandoval··on PlayStation can delete all your digital games after 3 years of inactivity (EU)
But it was bought on Microsoft's Store (a walled garden) on a Microsoft platform, so the ultimate responsibility towards the customer lays on Microsoft.
diego_sandoval··on Is The Economist Always Wrong?
They're wrong more often than random chance, yes.
diego_sandoval··on What Emily Bender meant by "stochastic parrots"
For humans?
diego_sandoval··on New Microsoft 365 pricing live, some products up by 42% due to AI
No one who takes their job seriously uses Copilot anything.
diego_sandoval··on Creatine raises brain energy levels and slows cognitive decline: study
Creatine is one of the most studied substances that humans consume.
diego_sandoval··on Scammers are abusing an internal Microsoft account to send spam links
The minimum withdrawal is 10 usd or 20 usd, depending on where you'll be withrdrawing it to. You have less than that in your account and won't be using Paypal soon? say goodbye to those 7 dollars.

-- Oh, but you can wait, maybe later you'll use those 7 dollars

No, if you don't do transactions for 1 year, they charge you a $10 inactivity fee.

It’s designed to hold your money hostage and then take it afterward

The only reason to use Paypal is that you have no other way of paying for something. Even cryptocurrency is more user-friendly than Paypal.

Btw, their conversion rates are awful.

diego_sandoval··on Scammers are abusing an internal Microsoft account to send spam links
PayPal itself is a scam.
diego_sandoval··on Googlebook
I don’t even know who this is marketed towards.

If their intention is to target the general public, then I think they're out of touch with reality, and it doesn’t seem targeted at AI enthusiasts either.

diego_sandoval··on VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage
> Microsoft spent literal decades rehabilitating their reputation.

Mmm... I think I missed that part.

diego_sandoval··on Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
and HERMES.md
diego_sandoval··on HERMES.md in commit messages causes requests to route to extra usage billing
If Mythos is so smart, how come Anthropic does dumb shit like this every week?
diego_sandoval··on The RAM shortage could last years
Did OpenAI's order actually kickstart the "panic" over RAM?

Are they really such a big RAM buyer?

diego_sandoval··on Android CLI: Build Android apps 3x faster using any agent
AFAIK, Flutter has had a good, capable CLI since the beggining. You've never needed to install Android Studio to use Flutter.
diego_sandoval··on Elevated errors on Claude.ai, API, Claude Code
Much better than Claude.

I've never hit the quota on Codex.

On Claude (Code), I used to hit it every other day before switching to Codex.

diego_sandoval··on YouTube now world's largest media company, topping Disney
Isn't your first parapraph an example of YouTube's algorithm underfitting though?

A new day, a new npm incident.
