krzyk··on Make your first edit to OpenStreetMap
StreetComplete also asks about opening hours, but you need to have a POI added first (AFAIR StreetComplete allows adding POIs also)
krzyk··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
I don't think that works like that in Europe, cash backs are rare and even fewer people use them.

I have credit card only to be able to rent car on vacation. It is not used outside of that. For other payments I use debit card.

krzyk··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
I'm quite opposite. I avoid any places that don't accept card payments, because it usually means they are avoiding taxes. And I don't have cash on me, or wallet. Only phone or sometimes only my garmin watch (with garmin pay).
krzyk··on OpenAI begins rolling out GPT-6 Astra
Yeah, but I assume in November (when current promo $4/$20) ends, we will have GPT-6 Sol/Terra/Luna.
krzyk··on Commodore 64 released September 1, 1982
Being behind Iron Curtain I sold (well, my parents, I was too young) my Atari 65 XE + tape reader (which I received as a gift in 1988) and got C64 (the original ovalish one) with 1541 in 1990, it was bundled together with a set of hundreds (pirated of course, that was the reality back then) of 5 1/4" discs with various software and games. It was like receiving internet in a package.

Entering incantations like: "LOAD .... 8,1" (I don't remember the middle part). Or playing with assembly with LDA, STA (or same for X and Y) was fun.

krzyk··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
And no pedals, also no animation on Firefox.
krzyk··on Dwarf Fortress is getting the mother of all magic updates
> minecraft is fun and engaging

It depends, for me it is boring and has pretty dim graphics. I wanted to love it, but it is not fun. It looks like a Sims game, it lacks what e.g. factorio has, that "spark".

DF sounds like it might have that "spark", but I'm afraid to touch it.

krzyk··on Migrating to HTTPX2
A bit strange considering "coding is solved".

But seriously, migrating between different libs should be ~free for both Anthropic and OpenAI.

krzyk··on Stop Making TUIs
TUI and GUI are a UI.
krzyk··on Stop Making TUIs
Is there a GUI Emacs? I used only TUI one.
krzyk··on Stop Making TUIs
Benefit of TUIs is that sometimes they are extension of CLI.

Sometimes I can use `du` to check what uses so much space, but sometimes ncdu is better for me.

And the best part - I can use both when I ssh to another machine, using the same command line, without thought. While GUIs need added thought, to switch from CLI to GUI on the remote one would need to use a different interface, or have X11 forwarding on (which is also a good option) and x11 libs on the other side.

Or use some other connectivity. ssh is simple, works on most servers I have access to.

krzyk··on Stop Making TUIs
Yes, but GUIs are by default mouse driven, very rarely one can see a keyboard driven one (I haven't seen any).

And TUIs are only keyboard driven. So the choice for speed if you don't need graphics is always - TUI (or CLI).

krzyk··on The Lost Treasure of Sid Meier's Pirates
What kind of pure sims you have in mind? I'm also looking for some games in that category.
krzyk··on fx :Tiny, open, native coding agent.
> Naturally meaningless when people carry around USB sticks

Do people do that? I think it was a decade ago, I thought people download from web nowadays.

krzyk··on Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union
It depends. For some sandbox might be feature on that platform, but for others it might be a bug.
krzyk··on Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union
I wasn't clear here, when I mean haptic feedback I meant smartphones.
krzyk··on Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union
> We saw how developers used that "freedom" - now all almost all software runs in a remote server and is delivered through a sandbox (and even then developers try as hard as possible to poison that as well).

What are you talking about exactly?

On linux I can run any software I want, and how is that bad?

krzyk··on Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union
How is that touchpad better than any other? My wife has Macbook Air, I don't see any difference between touchpad on my linux Dell 5680 compared to the Macbook.

It sounds similar to people that praise "haptic feedback" on phones, and describe feedback on some devices as extraordinary. (vibration device, seriously?)

Macbook has nice hardware, if I can ignore the strange keyboard layout, although I would prefer bigger keyboard and smaller touchpad. Macbook software is something that is so bad compared to linux that I won't even comment.

krzyk··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50%
So the title is misleading, intentionally.
krzyk··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50%
Is this pricing change only for openrouter? I don't see official OpenAI info about this.
krzyk··on Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things
Well maybe, but a non-macos laptop is a bit more common.
krzyk··on Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things
On a consumer hardware it would be nicer. With no GPU/iGPU or a 6-8GB VRAM.
krzyk··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
Yeah, that one is easy, but I was thinking of the other way around, where the weak model calls stronger one.
krzyk··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
By "advisor model pattern" you mean https://claude.com/blog/the-advisor-strategy ?

How do you implement that outside of claude code?

krzyk··on Codex in ChatGPT desktop app for Linux is now in preview
What do you mean by "bundled bubblewrap nor the Ubuntu 24.04 bubblewrap works properly under Docker with the default options"?

Does it break anything? I didn't notice, I always run codex in "yolo" mode (the whole purpose of running it in docker).

krzyk··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
Interesting I always thought that "x" (whichever) is used informally for multiplication and proper sign is dot: 3 · 4 = 12

It looks like there is a difference between English speaking languages and the rest in that regard.

krzyk··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
Isn't ultrafast just making hundreds of subagents?
krzyk··on ChatGPT Desktop (Codex Desktop) for Linux
Don't install bubblewrap? I didn't and use codex in docker.
krzyk··on Grok 4.6 scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index
Yes, they have transparent api rates. And for Anthropic and OpenAI their rates are exactly like API pricing.
krzyk··on I hate packaging my software for Linux
Yes, this software has a vast amount of installation methods.

And I find building app myself usually the easiest one.
