thechairman12

I climb the mountains because I am proud of myself, and I am proud of my own development. Not because I want someone to pat me on the back.

My outlook on life is that it is an experiment where you see how you can develop yourself throughout it. This growth is difficult and beautiful.

I am proud of myself, and the person I have become. I surround myself with people on the same mission.

This article describes a future like WALL-E. It sounds very lonely. I'll be sure to be in the pocket of people who are like minded, and set on their own pursuits.

I am actively choosing an existence where I don't get everything I want. It's the effort that makes it mean something to me, and it's the restrictions that make life worth living.

It might be useful to know that I programmed for >50% of my life, starting when I was 12. It was a huge part of my identity for most of my life. I was known to be extremely good at it. Think: newspaper articles, CEOs flying me out, etc.

Overcoming this entanglement of identity, ego, and competence was one of my proudest achievements in the past 5 years.

I am mostly at peace now, always trying to go further. I hope people like the author can find peace as well.

This take seems shortsighted. There's something to be said for doing things because they are enjoyable. People cook for themselves because they enjoy the process, not just the meal. I climb mountains because it makes me feel good -- I wouldn't take a gondola to the top even if it existed. The 100m race is not run by motorcycles.

There's more to life. Perhaps we will value eachother on an even *more* human level, based on how kind and interesting someone is, rather than their economically useful skills and their bank account.

I'm keeping this short but I have more to say to corroborate these points.

Yeah I'll have to figure out opencode, never used it before.

I care the most about quality. It can be more expensive, and slower. My problems with the AIs are always intelligence related/effort related.

So I'm not sure if those smaller models you listed will be effective, given that I am having to turn to chatgpt.com's Pro to get quality answers.

Interested in Kimi & DS

Ah good point on the open weights. I'll certainly be poking into deepseek soon. Any preference with the Chinese models? Tips?

I've been working on building up my AGENTS.md file over time. It has certainly improved things. My core point is that even without these advantages, chatgpt.com provides deeper insights with their $200/mo ai...

Something is up.

Thanks for the response! I like the idea of pitting the various model families against eachother.

A bit token expensive, though. Especially when it isn't part of the subscription.

This is good, thank you

Why is this at the top of hackernews?

They posted on X about supporting this when someone was spamming them with requests
