You can use 4.5 Opus with Claude Code by running it specifically with `--model` pointed towards 4.5 Opus:

  $ claude --model claude-opus-4-5
  Claude Code v2.1.37
  claude-opus-4-5 · Claude Max
  /tmp/test
  Opus 4.6 is here · $50 free extra usage · /extra-usage to enable

Immich is extremely stable even if not labeled as such. My personal experience is zero maintenance (other than updating docker container) since deployment several years ago.

However, the rate-limiting factor might not be the cost, but the availability of unique credit card details.

Europe has quite a few high-quality, high-speed rail connections. If I may suggest a feature, in order for the tool is to be faithful to its mission, alternative mods of transport could be supported as well.

Personally, I am more than happy to take an overnight train than a short-flight, given the additional overhead of travelling to/from the airport. An overnight train can take you pretty far within continental Europe.

ProteinQure - https://proteinqure.com/ | Computational drug design | Senior Software Engineer / Senior Devops Engineer | Toronto (onsite) | https://jobs.lever.co/proteinqure

At ProteinQure, we are building a computational platform for the design of protein therapeutics. Our mission is to help to create a world where drugs are engineered, not just discovered. We develop our own treatments for diseases such as cancer, among others, and partner with industry leaders in drug discovery to generate novel therapeutics outside of the conventional chemical space.

Our technology combines computational biophysical models with statistical and machine learning approaches to enable us to search across vast spaces of protein therapeutics. We build and deploy these computational modules using a scalable cloud computing infrastructure and complement their predictions with results from wet lab experiments.

You will work in an interdisciplinary deep tech company, interact directly with our scientists and can get involved on concrete drug discovery projects.

We scale our computational infrastructure to hundreds of nodes, tens of thousands of CPUs. Our tech stack is built on top of: modern Python, Docker+K8s, Ray, Linux.

Nice idea! Couple of bugs I came across during my game:

* an age-restricted video can show up (I am not logged-in to YouTube)

* a video is not guaranteed to actually have lyrics. Ony of my songs was a "danish" fully instrumental anime soundtrack

For workloads where the image size was critical, I have achieved a similar result with using strace to collect the required files and then limiting the image to only those files in the build process.

It's a neat approach, but ultimately brings non-negligible amount of uncertainty as you can never be 100% sure your test set of inputs did not miss a particular edge case which will require to have a file present in the container that no other input does.

My 20-person biotech startup runs on Linux including the workstations of a vast majority of employees.

There are definitely pain points, but also substantial productivity gains. For anybody trying this, my advice would be to attempt to ship the lowest number of possible HW configurations internally - with the ideal being having everybody on a same model of a laptop.

Thanks for the response!

Definitely understand where you're coming from. I'm excited to see how well can Helix make the pedal assist with rear wheel motor work. What I like in particular is that the setup will be more upgradeable than most mid-drive builds.

With respect to the belt drive, glad to hear that's still a possibility (albeit not a priority, which is fine). This is just a single data point, but if there was a Alfine 11 option with a belt, I'd pull the trigger and buy one right now. Well, perhaps I'd wait for the rear rack and the luggage case that I understand are in the works, those are killer accessories.

For me personally, the weight is less of a concern, at least in the vicinity of the low numbers where current helix builds are. To illustrate, my current 20 inch folder is about 15kg (belt+alfine 11) and I find that quite manageable.

In any case, keep rocking on, I hope you guys succeed - it's exciting to see such novel bike engineering happening here in Canada :)

Been a fan for a long time, in fact, my dream bike is a helix with a belt drive (and possibly a mid-drive motor). I do understand a belt drive might require a tensioner, but a man can dream! My current folder has a belt and it's a joy to ride on.

Additionally, I saw there are some electric options coming up in Q3, would you spare a moment to share your thoughts about possible future developments (i.e. if you see belt/ebike options expand in the future)?

The way I've implemented this is that the yubikey is on an extensible lanyard which is almost always around my neck. So while an evil actor could definitely unplug it to ruin my day, stealing it would be a tad bit more difficult :)

In any case, the primary idea here was not to prevent stealing the laptop, but to prevent walking away from the laptop without locking it.
