sergiotapia··on <input type="password" maxlength="20"> prevents me from logging into Vanguard
Don't get me started on passkeys, where it seems it was made for people who literally only use one device: their phone.

Every time I prodded for a passkey I have to run a grep in my brain, what app did I use, or what it an extension, under my personal or work email?

A NIGHTMARE, and for what.

sergiotapia··on GPT-6 Astra plays World of Warcraft for the first time with agent-wow
I disagree. It works with the wow gold farmers because there is a finite set of known states in a videogame. In real life I don't think that's the case.
sergiotapia··on How Singapore's government-run dating service works
Aren't commercial dating sites as a whole summarized as:

Keep supply of women high because men will pay anything for a chance?

I am very curious how this will be changed in this government platform. Maybe it won't LOL

sergiotapia··on The death of web development education
I didn't mean the job itself. I know what that's like.

I'm talking about learning/training for the job!

sergiotapia··on The death of web development education
What does education look like 2027 and onwards? My son is graduating soon and will major in Computer Science, with a secondary Art degree.

I have no idea how it will feel to be forced to write code and learn data structures, and SQL, and infrastructure, when it's all right there in 15 seconds with the AI agent.

Does anyone have any experience with this in 2026 specifically? How are the kids doing?

At least with a medical degree you HAVE to study, and memorize. It's part of the job.

sergiotapia··on Pi 1.0
Frankly you are not losing much. I've used everything under the sun, for work and fun. I just use Claude now again for work, and I use Pi for any openrouter model I'm using.

Just keep using Claude or Codex.

It's all window dressing and some delta in token usage, but again who cares really?

This really only matters when you're productizing "AI" for your end users, that's when you need to see which agent uses tools better, has more support for MCPs, headless mode, sessions, etc. \

sergiotapia··on Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients, excluding Pi
I've had good success in my org with Paper. Non-technical people can just jam and explore ideas without worrying about Figma or whatever tools UI/UX tools. Vibes all the way down.
sergiotapia··on Gemini 4 Argon
This is why I've heard you should just use openrouter for these models. Whatever google is doing/hiring for the dev ux is doing a terrible job.
sergiotapia··on Gemini 4 Argon
I've noticed all major providers having shockingly high token discounts on cached tokens. Thank you Deepseek is all I have to say. Forever grateful to that wonderful company, I wish them continued financial success.

sergiotapia··on GPT 6.1 Sol
I want to energymaxx. Every home should have a nuclear generator for free limitless clean energy. Do not energysimp, we want prosperity for all we must energymaxx and invest heavily in solar/battery/nuclear.
sergiotapia··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Typically how long does codex take to update with the right model metadata for the release of a new model?

{"type":"item.completed","item":{"id":"item_0","type":"error","message":"Model metadata for `gpt-6.1-sol` not found. Defaulting to fallback metadata; this can degrade performance and cause issues."}}

sergiotapia··on Rails World 2026 Opening Keynote [video]
I actually believe new frameworks and languages will pop up that are explicitly made to supercharge agentic engineering workflows. We're still super duper extra early! November last year was the START of all this. We're still in September! Not even one year has passed!

Where will we be in 5 years?

Examples:

It doesn't make much sense to use a human language like Ruby and leave so much on the table when you can use a language like Rust or C to squeeze a LOT more out of correctness/types/performance.

sergiotapia··on DHH Is Completely Crazy
In a world where AI is writing all the code, why on earth would you use a language that was created for human happiness? You are simple leaving too much on the table by not using something like Rust or even C.

I'm not a C dev but I shipped something for fun quite easily. I know _enough_ to not ship bullshit.

sergiotapia··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
Thank you so much
sergiotapia··on What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
You violently punish a few of the thieves and problem solved. Why have other countries solved this problem yet america pretends there isn't a gigantic Solve Problem button that is yet to be pressed? Just cane thieves! Imagine how beautiful our country could be.

This is quite interesting, I wasn't aware omp has a way to set up different models for planner/orchestrator/task.

sergiotapia··on ChatGPT now knows what you do on other websites via ad collector
Highly recommend you use Brave Browser and avoid all this nastiness. If you haven't browsed the web in a browser like Chrome recently, you should try it in a VM or something. It's GRIM. The Web is a wasteland and it's gotten worse because ai chatsites are eating their lunch to the ads are even worse than 10 years ago.

sergiotapia··on End the H-1B Program
They can be skilled doctors back in their own countries. I want prospects for my children.
sergiotapia··on A heap overflow and SSO misconfiguration to compromise OpenAI internal repos
They used a heif payload to get server access but they never describe the SSO flaw they used to actually get repo access (the juicy part!), bummer!

Wish they shared that interesting piece since that's the interesting part.

Also pretty shocking that openai uses github. I would have expected a company of that size with that much to lose would be using self hosted stuff.

sergiotapia··on Salesforce Global Outage
RPC errors in my Dunkin app and my wife's Poshmark app. Is it an infrastructure problem?
sergiotapia··on Code of Conduct for MAI Models
> People matter more than AI. The whole document in 5 words.

> The idea of model welfare is wrong. AIs should not have rights or legal personhood.

Microsoft just told Anthropic to STFU.

sergiotapia··on Steam Frame starts at $1059
Brutal pricing. It would have been brutal at $600.

Having said that, there really is no other game quite like Half Life Alyx. It's so good, immersive and one of a kind. Perhaps worth the price of admission. It's so good that it kind of ruined VR gaming for me because all other games kind of felt like tech demos from that point on.

Yikes, what a terrible price. 55 minutes playing on-device Half Life Alyx. 1hr 30min streaming from a PC with dongle. 3 hours charge time. It's just pretty lame tbh. Damn :(

sergiotapia··on I spent $220 on Google app ads and 60% of the installs were robots
How much of Google's revenue is just scams?

Search for "datadog" and the first result is a sponsored link for Datadog. I click that and datadog had to pay google. scroll a bit down and there's the "real" natural link.

Fugazi!

sergiotapia··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Major loss for react native community at large with Skia and Flashlist dying. :(
sergiotapia··on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max
I had no idea, I thought video was the most expensive thing to burn battery on since it's video, full screen motion, and loud sound. Interesting!
sergiotapia··on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max
45 hours of video playback is insane?! Is this accurate, because if it is I will sell my phone and buy this. Normally my samsung discharges in about 12 hours or less when I'm out, not even watching 12 hours of video.

"On iPhone 18 Pro Max, five minutes of wired charging provides around seven hours of video playback"

Materially impactful feature holy moses! I can plug it in, brush my teeth and I'm set for the work day.
