maxdo··on OpenAI Agents API
I get it why do I want to use your managed session , what do you win ? Any examples ?

I’m trying to understand the use case but it seems weird middle ground in a way .

maxdo··on OpenAI Agents API
Why would you choose api vs sdk . Sdk in a sandbox feels much better .
maxdo··on ChatGPT Images 2.5
I’m doing renovation . I slap a prompt in a tile store over my room and design several types of tiles and paint from one prompt while causally browsing in almost real time .

Isn’t that the future ? I generated 200 images alone in this use case .

What’s the alternative to that ? Send it tomorrow someone who hate their job moving tiles in the toilet , may money , wait 1 week

maxdo··on Mistral raises €3B
So they are parasites on sovereign blah blah blah.

And yes , Chinese models will be cheaper compared to what they offer , as well as American models will be much smarter polished . This is the only market they have , lobby sovereignty among politicians.

maxdo··on LibreOffice breaks download records after declaring it has no AI features
What is the role of tools like libreoffice in the age of ai ? Is it only viewer ?

I was fighting alignment on the doc created manually, after 3 mins struggle I typed in Gemini tab of Google Docs , and it did everything perfectly.

Same with presentations , tools like bento.page generates you perfect html .

I really do not want to go and edit things manually anymore

maxdo··on GPT-6 Astra in code review: Gains, privacy, and cost
They do catch important things but it’s really contextual. You can’t grab a model slap it on top and say code review . Hence a dedicated review tool is almost dead . Code review should be part of your pipeline and consume test results from the original task , open spec etc . If you do not have that code review will not help if you do , what is the point of task rabbit just slap <your harness in the sandbox> review against <goal>

Not sure what was last year etc but this year claims are realistic on mobilization.

Russia already tested playbook by doing drafts on the street in limited regions . There’s plenty of videos just Google that . Seems like their strategy will not be all nation mobilized but rather hey , we do in one region , wait , switch to another , repeat .

NATO is half dead , and that’s the main goal of Russia , north Korea , China etc . If they attack the most weak enemy eg baltic counties and claim like hitler did : we achieved what we wanted we just want piece and we are ready to strike piece also with Ukraine , it will :

Prevent any reaction from the nato , since not that many countries within nato will be willing to defend Latvia or Estonia , especially if offense will be complete and successful. Who will defend Latvia ? Germany ? Doubt , Poland ? They do not have a modern army , they still buying tanks and submarines in the age of drones . And Russia do have lots of drones . More than entire nato by a lot of, not to tell if you deduct USA and Turkey , two biggest military NATO powers that will not be eager to defend Baltic regions . Imagine also that Iran will decide to use the moment and coordinate their offensive.

As a result , this few days war can effectively formalize end of NATO and the western world as it is .

maxdo··on Can AI design circuit boards yet?
Love the democratization of access. Still curious how this is better vs gpt 6 astra or grok 4.7 in the future trained on spacex problems ?
maxdo··on Dutch central bank moves share of gold from U.S., Canada to London
Yeah and that’s exactly what add happily picked up as any MAGA clone eg Afd,FvD, Orban etc . Populism , echo different voices . In this case : Ukriane is dragging us into war . Russia openly warm up this agenda by softly attacking Poland , Romania , other areas. Mixed with nord stream and other similar voices .

Under different angle they will tell this is Ukraine’s false flag attempt … oh evil ukriane , these bastards who try to survive how dare they are

Anyways still 0 political win , only losses . Current German government can’t defend themself and start talking NATO , that is again very unpopular among maga-Germans , since they hate USA

maxdo··on Dutch central bank moves share of gold from U.S., Canada to London
Wow. This post serves as a great example on how propaganda can brainwash people brain. Sure , Ukraine whose survival solely depends on EU, plans a false flag attempt . To achieve what ? Russia openly attacked territory of eu with drones , infiltration, poison operations , not to mention Slovakia , Orban etc . What is there to prove for Ukraine ???
maxdo··on Dutch central bank moves share of gold from U.S., Canada to London
Just in time before major European continental war begin. Strategic move.

For the context : German airport was officially attacked by Russia . And that’s only one of many incidents. UK is on the radar of official Russian hawks for a very long time

maxdo··on Can I opt out of my input or output data being used for training?
It’s a spyware, but a sovereign one
maxdo··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
I do agree , it could be an insult to any software project probably ? But I do value more speed of iteration/verification cycle vs another 3% in cursorBench . At this point it’s business logic not the code that caused me troubles and extra thinking
maxdo··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Tbh with that price , not even willing to try . What are the benefits for a regular coding agent ? I barely have any errors already with 4.8 level , eg grok 4.6 , gpt 5.6 sol/terra behind router . Why do I need to pay so much money for this ? Any reason ?
maxdo··on Australia Bans Generative A.I. From Official Music Charts

Behind every ai music there’s still an artist.

China is doing it the right way : use fossils but pouring that money into renewables. Use economic forces to cut the dependency . Everything else is just pipe dream building never happened utopian communism 2.0 .
maxdo··on Ox Alpha
I posted above why china is bad, it's yes people disappearing, and sponsoring anyone who tries do destabilize current world , and hence fueling the war, North Korea, Iran, Russia is on that list of their proxies.
maxdo··on Ox Alpha
>North Korea

Are you seriously brought up North Korea here? In both USSR and USA of that time there was no hunger for another conflict that could end up in the new war. North Korean's were pushed by China's Mao despite Kim Soviet Army roots. And they attacked first. The result is very obvious a terrorist state with nuclear power. China could easily keep them away from nuclear power but they didn't .

>Ukraine

Seriously? despite my hate to Trump, he was trying to stop corruptionist North stream to occur, since it was a clear war precursor, and he was the first president to sell Ukraine lethal weapons. Current administration is incompetent but even so they approved the sell of ATACAMS from Turkey to ukraine just few weeks ago. But the fact that Ukraine still exist is only due to Biden administration. Modern peace in Syria is also due to same fact actually.

>Iran

Are you going to cry that Hitler was attacked? Iran as a country brought sooo much troubles to the entire region directly and indirectly. List of proxies : Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Palestinian territories, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia.

>Oh sure!

some random list mostly. How south Korea was screw up? or ... Mexico, or Venezuela? even Afghanistan with all the respect. If we are talking of China they also tried to attack vietnam. What happened to Denmark, Iceland are they art war? Ghaza : same Iran proxy said story multiplied by 1000 years conflict. How us is related here at all?

Cuba? The poster child of communism mismanagement, I wish people of Cuba finally to have liberation.

>Hungary

this is one is funny, despite been a clear china/russian proxy, JD decided to support, i guess out of hate to EU, not sure what was the real angle. But right now, there are real deep corruption investigation that goes to both Russia and China.

maxdo··on Ox Alpha
Some of it is miss information ( Turkey), some of it simply never happened. US is not dictatorship, one blah blah person(trum) can't do everything he wants.

Real military conflicts you mentioned are direct impact of chinese policies. They willing to fuel any evil government unless they are against west. Without Iran doing proxy wars middle east would be at peace.

Now the dry results of China VS US policies in regions since modern communist china establishment. What their policy produce.

cause-and-effect relationships 101. What Evil China produce , and how that's related even to some invasions your mentioned.

General overview : The post world war II period was the most peaceful time in modern history, leaded by US policies. with some mistakes like vietnam. but China did the same mistake and invaded Vietnam too anyways. Right now china goes into power. what their policies , their world looks like?

Korea. Their first action. Direct military invasion by Mao. The Result: terrorist state, that officially supports stealing, human trafficking, selling drugs, arms to middle east etc. It now directly destroying part of Europe sending giant, not precise ballistic missiles, that killing children , woman etc. the also send troops to kill more europeans, just because Putin paid them some money. North Korea would not exist without china nor from inception, nor up until recently. Due to that support we also have one extra nuclear country who's will even the most evil one will be blindly followed by their people.

The opposite of is ... South Korea, that brings to the world peace, technology, cars, phones. Poster child of china's policies vs poster child of USA policies.

Next Poster child is Iran.

Iran would not survive without China's support neither economically neither technology wise. Iran supports tons of proxies in middle east. Creating entire instability in the region, fueling number of wars. They killing their own people who are not happy with the government, and attacking everyone around taking entire world as a hostage. Also involved in all shady operations. Spreading arms, including drones, infamous Shaheds that killed so many people in Europe. China provide all equipment from military to cellphone so that body government can control and kill everyone who disagree with their policies. Compare that to USA policies, who removed major threads like Iraq who invaded countries around.

Moving forward : Poster child russia. Russia would not survive it's war without China's support. And now it sending drones with China's made electronics to number of countries of Europe. The opposite ? USA supported Ukraine, and Russia lost it power in war-torn Siria and right now finally there is some shaky peace over there.

To me it's very obvious what china produces as a government.

USA is ugly reacting trying to save the world from another half crazy government that is trying to create nuclear weapons. The free world needs a new super power to protect themself probably, since we have an evil super power like china. Unfortunately, usa can't protect free world anymore.

maxdo··on AI companies destroy physical books – let's scan rare books before it's too late
Ok . How trustworthy is the claim . It maid by a resource that on its own has problems with copyright.

Overall , smells like propaganda. How many books on earth you can openly buy that has practical “knowledge” value , not just historical one , and exist only in one physical implementation ( book ) . There were numbers of initiatives for a decade to digitalize all valuable knowledge.

It seems the initiative was secretive for a different reason . Buying a single book not allows you to distribute the content of the book , hence 1.5 billions fines.

Usually I personally not on copyright people side , but in this case you clearly see the system functioning. Know knows how the book business will look like in 10 years , but now book publishers doing their job by brining ai companies to court

maxdo··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
You pay royalties to your publisher . They monitor situation , if a model has unfair amount of context about the book they bring you to court . Once they win they spread some money between owners + keep some money to fight future violations on the scale since it’s profitable for book publishers.

It’s economically lucrative for everyone in that chain to attack again and again ai vendors , unless they are in China . In this case they can only cry .

maxdo··on Cerebras CS-4
So they should go with near sota instead of SoTA due to hype ? In the Current market there are vendors who are ahead and Chinese quickly catch up.

You pick the vendor who is ahead, create an agreement with them to get access ahead of public release , and bake that model into hardware , because that’s how you make money .

You know that buying a book vs buying a license is a very different purchase right ? And it does not work legally this way . Stop spreading made up stories
maxdo··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
Who told you it’s periodic ? To find a stolen book in llm is very easy . And if you break same rules twice any judge will fine you more for that .

  You break you pay .
That’s why in the western world you got book publishers . They have lawyers etc .

If you prefer Chinese way : laugh at anyone who is taking about copyright , whether that a book , a model , or manufacturing secrets in eu , us or whatever sure .

A family business of my friend in eu was destroyed due to stealing until every single bolt position design of their system by China . They had no legal protection .

Keep calling rule of law vs no such rules an American exceptionalism .

maxdo··on Cerebras CS-4
Why they should go with Chinese models if they have a line up of gpt models and a very good partnership with someone who lives in the same jurisdiction and not in the country that convinces their citizen that it’s a good idea to go on war with western world ? Just curious ?

They paid $1.5 billions in July . Keep ignoring facts and believe in some nonsense
maxdo··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
When they do that they pay billions . Unlike China. That’s the order of law vs bunch of companies in a totalitarian government

I’m supporting you as a company , but since grok 4.6 and codex , it’s just stupid to go with your pricing model . Cursor + grok + router that uses open ai and a bit of anthropic to verify tests etc it’s a no brainer .

Why should I pay you money , and have slower model and less intelligence? Oh yeah and I do not care about limits with cursor ultra at all . Unlike with you .

maxdo··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50% on OpenRouter
I do have free sol and cursor ultra for 200 I prefer grok over sol, they are equally capable but grok is faster
maxdo··on Stripe will reportedly acquire OpenRouter for $7B+
Exactly , not even small startup anywhere in us , eu or nearby will be ok to send data to China, but with open router you can create a no China provider selector with one llm call and start using Chinese llms without paying to vendors a single cent .

What’s the angle for stripe , electrify over tokens exchange is the new money flow , and stripe wants to monetize it. 5% tax on any llm token is an amazing deal
