tariky··on Claude Opus 4.8
I believe analogy with smartphone will be best for this case.

In 2010s iphone was the king, all those Chinese devices ware cheaper but not even close to smoothnest and usability of US tech, now after 15 years later everything is changed, now iphone feels like old grandpa to Chinese tech. Same will happend to LLM's just much faster.

tariky··on I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit
I tried almost all OS models on opencode, none of them is on levels as opus 4.7.

In latest experiment I used opus for implementation plan then used cursor composer 2.5 for execution.

I must say that combo is really good. Main drawback of claude code is that is super slow. So when paired with composer that is super fast it flies.

tariky··on GitHub is investigating unauthorized access to their internal repositories
Time to move all my code from github. I was hoping they it will get better but it looks like it is getting much worst. Good bye github.
tariky··on OpenAI and Government of Malta partner to roll out ChatGPT Plus to all citizens
Can I register using VPN malta IP to get free plus?
tariky··on Points are a weird and inconsistent unit of measure
As someone from european continent. Those US measurements units look and feel so hard to work with.

Instead metric system is predictable and easy to work with.

Real question is why US just don't move to metric system?

What is difference between superpowers and this?

I use superpowers for several months now and it really does help. But still 90/10 rule applies, 10% of time it will produce stupid decision. So always check spec.

tariky··on DeepClaude – Claude Code agent loop with DeepSeek V4 Pro
I wanted to try this. To bring back opus and sonnet do I just reset those env's?
tariky··on DeepSeek v4
It intercepts json commands and turns them in tool calls
tariky··on DeepSeek v4
If you have access to any other model it can create create pi extension that fixes problem. At least worked for me.
tariky··on DeepSeek v4
Anyone tried with make web UI with it? How good is it? For me opus is only worth because of it.
tariky··on Direct Win32 API, Weird-Shaped Windows, and Why They Mostly Disappeared
This article brings some flashback from Winamp skinning days.

Anyone else liked to skin they Winamp?

tariky··on Good Sleep, Good Learning (2012)
I can relate to this. Got two kids and I must say if someone told me that it will be this hard I wouldn't believe it.

Raising kids is the hardest and most fulfilling job.

tariky··on The Last Quiet Thing
Those Casio watches are just amazing. I got legendary gw-5000u and it has become part of my body. I'm wondering how much 30+ year are feeling like author of this post. I for sure do not want any device that I need to babysit.
tariky··on Improving my focus by giving up my big monitor
For me anything bigger then 27' is just too big. I also stopped working with two monitors.

Main thing that was contributing to that is Cosmic desktop environment is has amazing defaults and adaptive scaling and if I need two displays just put window in second workspace.

tariky··on Subscription bombing and how to mitigate it
I had similar situation on WooCommerce shop. But it was much more signups per hour. Putting turnstile in front fixed problem.

My conclusion is to move from WordPress software as fast as possible, every WordPress site I manage gets bombarded by bots.

You are 100% correct. That guy just did not know that he has developer soul.
tariky··on 1M context is now generally available for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6
This is amazing. I have to test it with my reverse engineering workflow. I don't know how many people use CC for RE but it is really good at it.

Also it is really good for writing SketchUp plugins in ruby. It one shots plugins that are in some versions better then commercial one you can buy online.

CC will change development landscape so much in next year. It is exciting and terrifying in same time.

tariky··on Museum of Plugs and Sockets
This website is beautiful. I wish I have skill to craft something like this.
tariky··on Nano Banana 2: Google's latest AI image generation model
This looks like a response to Seedream 5.0 lite that was published two days ago.

I use all those fancy image models editing capabilities for my fast fashion web shop. I must say: product photography for clothing and accessories product is dead. Those models are amazing at style transfering and garment transferring.

We will see how good will be Seedream 5.0 full version.

tariky··on Is particle physics dead, dying, or just hard?
To my uneducated eye it looks like they are stuck in limbo for 120 years. Nothing practical has been create based on those theories. It is just words and calculations spinning in circles.

I wish those people focus on practical real world physics. So we all can enjoy new innovations.

tariky··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
France cloud provider scalaway has great prices. In some services they are cheaper then AWS. So I think that devs just need to research a bit more.

Also Hetzner (germany) is super cheap when compared with US hosting providers.

tariky··on A few random notes from Claude coding quite a bit last few weeks
I used CC in year age and it was not good. But one month ago I paid for max and started to rebuild my company web shop using it.

It is like plowing land with hand one year age and now is like I'm in brend new John Deere. It's amazing.

Of course its not perfect but if you understand code and problem it needs to solve then it works really good.

tariky··on Statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands,Norway,Sweden,UK
And slow Bureaucracy :)
tariky··on Iran has now been offline for 96 hours
I have friends who wore going to Iran for business meeting. Friends are from former Yugoslavia state who still have connections to Iran. They export sparkplugs to Iran.

Interesting thing is that they say they never seen such a beautiful country with even more beautiful people. Also they said they filled up two full car tanks for ~5€.

Their conclusion is that people there live much better life(more fulfilling) then people in western countries.
