the problem of that setup is that it will run out of context pretty quick. So for coding agent it will limit your workflow very fast.

Grok has one of the best reasoning and halucination benchmark scores.

>the only people who use Grok are essentially Elon’s fanboy club

that's not true, Grok compelling feature is it's capabilities, performance and price. You only get comparable prices with GPT-5.4 mini or Gemini Flash. Also Grok Voice and images are pretty good.

I think at this point they don't want to be at the same level as Opus or GPT, they found their niche.

Thats grok build, which is pretty nice and has compatibility with Claude Code. They just need better models, that will be released soon.

OpenAI mentioned already that it's ok to use Codex with Openclaw.

If they would ask 10 bucks a month for good servers without cheaters I wouldn't have a problem. But 100 bucks after they lied about EOD and bring the same thing all over again and not improving the game its just shooting themselves in the foot.

I agree with everything the Author said and I do have Firefox installed for those reasons although my main Browser is Brave (Win/Linux) and Safari (Mac). Nowadays Firefox is as good as the Chromium alternatives, there is no doubt on that.

The question is: What would it take for the majority of the Internet users (enterprise, users with low literacy, Developers, Powerusers, etc...) to switch to Firefox ?

15 years ago it was clear. Firefox was vastly superior to IE. Nowadays is not vastly superior to the competition, in fact, I cannot think of any major compelling reasons which would make all those groups of users to change.

As for me, I used Firefox before it was Firefox or Mozilla and I do plan to join the cause and use Firefox in 2024.

I buy from time to time the German Managazine C'T and i cannot hide the fact that lot's of information in the Magazine i already absorbed from one way or the other. In this day and age of internet, people get easily information through different channels (social media, websites, chat, etc...)

I find the Magazine and the writers very professional but I cannot say it's worth for me to buy the Magazine nowadays.

My advice:

- Take some time off

- Talk to your family and ask them to help you.

- Take care of your health. Sleep, have quality time for your self.

- To exercise.

- Don't take all these advices very personal or serious. It depends from person to person, usually someone who cares about you is the one who can give you the best advice.

"There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses".

He is right on this one. Pretty much in every discussion about Programming Languages people write how good Rust is and complain about how bad C++ is but the reality is, C++ it's one of the most used languages in the world.

This quote could be a very harsh reply to Rust vs C++.

iCloud+ for me as part of Apple One. Works as expected although the spam filters are not as good as with Gmail.

May I ask whats is your use for ChatGPT Plus ?

ChatGPT is no doubt amazing but so far I havent found a use case for paying Premium.

- Apple One (because i use all the services, including the custom domains)

- Netflix (combined with Apple TV Plus and Youtube it's basically our TV time)

- ProtonVPN (I always like to have a VPN just in case, i got a good deal last year on Black Friday)

- X (It's still my mostly used Social Network for the good and for the Bad. So far it's in part worth it the price i pay for the service).

- Ivory (I used Mastodon constantly for around 6 months and Ivory subscription was totally worth.)

- Amazon Prime (We use it to buy lots of stuff during the year, so far its worth it for the amount of services Amazon provides. Could be a better value as it once was)

I think about subscribing to Youtube Premium and eventually when it's worth it ChatGPT Plus.
