Is Opus nerfed somehow in Copilot? Ive tried it numerous times, it has never reallt woved me. They seem to have awfully small context windows, but still. Its mostly their reasoning which has been off

Codex is just so much better, or the genera GPT models.


Opus just got killed in Copilot. I always found it great, FWIW.

But does it have colors!?!??!

Why a bitmap font if you have tiny pixels? Just use a sharp font like Iosevka or similar.

Well, my latest guess is: not at all.

It has been working "fine" for me generally for popular music. But then I was at a ice skating competition where there were some really nice synth:y music going on in the pauses, and I used Shazam on several of the songs, and I tried several times on each. It did not find a single one correctly.

Either this was unreleased music or very small niched music or something, or Shazam totally failed?


Yeah Shazam is mostly useless for songs that aren’t in the streaming apps, I’ve found. but not entirely useless! It sometimes matches me with stuff that’s only on YouTube.

Also useless on older music. I have used it to no avail for movies and old TV shows.

"Re-attaching repeatedly showed the program was not deadlocked."

Why re-attaching and not just resume then ctrl+c ? Is this some kind of clever hack I dont know about.


when it's your window manager you are using right now... you tend to debug differently :) yes yes - xephyr and what not. i know...

I dont understand how CC can burn that much money. Iv'e built many webapps using copilot, and our normal business tokens rarely run out. I would say Ive never exceeded 150% of a normal months tokens.


I think Opus is just an expensive model on API, especially without context management. A single message with near full context (I think this was still on 250k as well) costs like 1$ or something like that iirc.

Imo this is the premium I pay right now to just not have to worry about this. The project where I burned 50$ in a day was using superpowers plugin (A set of skills that makes Claude meticulously plan out design and implementation, interview for details, use subagents for subtasks and review them independently, etc.) - it burns tokens like crazy, but it has super good results for me for custom software tools for myself.

I would probably change my approach if I a) was creating software for customers where I had to actually worry about the implementation details or b) if I was forced to switch to API and couldn't just throw Opus at a 28-task plan for an hour. But this works for me right now so meh. I feel like I'm in some rare Goldilocks zone where Anthropic is not super ripping me off (I use CC quite heavily and generate real value for myself) but I also don't go crazy if I go 2 days without building the next SaaS startup.


This is of course not a problem for business accounts.

We are not allowed to use anything other than our company provided GHCP credentials due to the data retention clause in our contracts. Ie. they are not allowed to use our data.


It does have multiple suppliers of models at least?


By default is has already all OpenAI and Anthropic models


As a Swede I also do all of these things. And it doesn't feel like anything special, I imagine hundreds of thousands of people do the same.


Yeah, I'm Norwegian, and maybe the Scandinavian languages makes us extra likely to make those mistakes, but overall English hyphen rules to a large extent boils down to feels. Words "graduate" to hyphens over time as and when they start to become seen as a unit, and then sometimes eventually fuse into words. E-mail to email is one of those. And that pipeline is also not uniform geographically so different English speakers will disagree about what should have hyphens where and when...


This is one of the few real clues in this article, I would say.
