Somehow gemini-cli is so janky and doesn't get the latest models. But Antigravity is the new golden child? Just have a great suite of predictably quality products.

It's the vercel way. There have been plenty of experiments leading up to this (even by vercel employees before they joined) but re-packaging it as "the" solution, rather than just a tool renderer from props (tool schema)

OpenAI seems to limit how "hard" your gpt-5-codex can think depending on your subscription plan; whereas Anthropic/Claude only limits how much use you get. I evaluate Codex every month or so with a problem suited to it, but rarely gets merged over a version produced by Charlie (which yes is $500/mo, but rarely causes problems) or something Claude did in a managed or unmanaged session. ymmv

It's a really good platform for Typescript microservices which scale-to-zero (up to very high theoretical limits), but it wouldn't be a platform you'd migrate a monolith PHP app to (for example).

My grandparents were terrible at smartphones. To them, it's like a landline phone, but you have to charge it every 1-2 days. Yet my grandpa was decent at PC, and email, and so on, as it was in "a place" and easy to drive.

You can "self-host" as in `next build` and `next serve`, but it runs as a monolothic runtime. Next-on-vercel compiles each api route to a serverless function and supports various additional flavours of server side rendering of pages. Open Next is being able to run like Next-on-vercel but on AWS, your own infra, Cloudflare Workers, and others.

Sounds a lot like existing Claude integration + Caching (as most queries rely on relatively static code context)

Truly, (for those who don't want to log in) it's just a shared playground conversation with GPT-4, in Danish, where the author got a result they're obviously unhappy with.

Author, do some more robust tests, write a blogpost about it, and submit that instead.

At a certain level you can't guarantee the outcome of calculations will be 1:1. For example python and node both perform floating point calculations differently, so "identical" simulations will drift apart over time.

Mapping and modding Quake 2 and 3 pushed me from Basic and HTML/CSS into much less forgiving C/C++ programming around the same age -- wouldn't be the engineer I am without it. It's invaluable to modify something you know and understand and extremely rewarding, which is the first thing I teach to friends who want to learn.

Worth mentioning Raspberry Pis are designed, and in most cases built and assembled, in the UK.

Azure-hosted GPT already lets you "upload your own documents" in their playground; it seems to be similar to how ChatGPT GPT-4 Code Interpreter handles file uploads.
