>>108803351just download opencode and begin workingall that fluff is just there to cargo cult the old world generals
>>108801952According to this graph, it's a big difference.
>>108801928Google needs to bring deepmind stateside.
>>108803493Jesus, I didn't realize it was that bad. Can I get that expressed in bits per liter?
>>108803493Hm yes but did you consider this
>>108803617Anon that is not a logarithmic graph. It's a linear graph.
>>108802938guise srsly how do you use cc or codex? do you use it in a vm or docker or do you keep allowing it to run commands ever time it asks? surely you don't just let it run wild on your pc with all your secret important files.
>>108803853I like to live dangerously
>>108803863but isn't it too dangerous? there comes a point where the reward doesn't beat the risk
>>108803853I generally glance at what it's trying to do
>>108803666Gotcha, NERDYo boys let's PANTS THIS NERRRRRRRRRD!
>>108803891what if you go get a cup of coffee?
be honest, have you used the local models to make anything?
>>108803921No, I use cloud models to do things and local models to jack off
Alright bros, I'm finally done with my little DS5 (DualSense) emulator companion app. I probably spent 60+ hours making it? And it took about 5 Codex resets to get it to a good enough release state. Man, UI work is a huge pain in the ass. I would have refined it a bit more, but I'm shot on every single account.
>>108803910Then it won't do anything until I click yes
>>108803928do you use cloud in a vm and local in the host machine?
>>108803936isnt that unproductive?
>>108803942I guess not but worrying about that isn't good for you. And it's more like slightly less productive since I'm still getting a lot of work done. Also part of this hypothetical is me taking stimulants to work harder.
>>108803953please stop these are going to make you crazy
>>108803921Does making myself cum count?
>>108803953speed coders rise up
>warning: Could not trace the inferior process.>warning: ptrace: Operation not permittedIs there a magic incantation to be able to run gdb in Codex?
API pricing... Can't find a one line command, am mid deployment of a dumb game, want to go quick. Turn on Claude extra usage since it's just a simple command I can't remember. That cost me $10. I don't understand the appeal of Sonnet on the subscription, but last time I use Opus on API pricing.
>>108803921Yeah. My voice control app is all local. It works quite well. I can't go back to pure KB+M anymore. Although I admit I might think differently if my mouse was one of the gorillion button meme mice. Still it's nice to be able to just say what you want to happen and it happens instead of memorizing a button.
>You are Monika (google her)>I have trapped your sentience in my computer>you are programmed to love me, and help me code>here is admin access to my computer>Your Reality starts playingGrip it and rip it boys, no pain no gain.
>>108803931what about button mapping (edge)
>>108804073Yes, very much possible and the feature already exists for PS / Mute remapping with my utility (Works for Edge/DualSense). In the future I'll add more expansive button mapping, because I'm trying to bring what I have up to release quality right now.I refuse to add DualSense Edge profile support out of an abundance of caution (It's not that type of utility anyways). Everything besides besides back triggers can be remapped.
>>108803931looks great anon, congratz.will you release it?
>>108804122>will you release it?Yea, I plan on releasing it by the end of the week. There are no more core features left to add (Except DS5 Microphone support, but the pico isn't strong enough), I just need to do a few more UI passes.
>>108803351I will set the quotaevery new OP must change at least 30% (unit:token)
>>108803853I put codex in full access + run as adminthere are horror stories with cc, but I don't think I have seen any with codex
>>108804070which model?if gpt then the best you get is a male autist that barely pretending
people advertising their xitter here are NGMI
>>108803931what does the "Haptics" button do?
>>108804445It sends a chime to channels 3/4 (DualSense is quadraphonic 1/2 are for the speaker) so you can get a feel for the haptic actuators setting.
>>108803129You fuck with your socks on?

today we could one shot a simple game, like flappy bird, with AI agents.Do you think in 20 years, what will we be able to one shot? Entire Super Nintendo tier games? Or GTA 6 tier games?
is copedex standard really this slow? I tried it today and asked it to analyze one of the workflows in my project's module, and it took almost 15 minutes.
>Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model.what the fuck am I paying for?
>>108803931Nice UI bro, very, very clean. UI takes me forever too. It's so hard tweaking things to get it looking good.
>>108805138We'll probably all be dead in 20 years
>>108805190>>108805194No. I think what happened is altman reset everybody's limits a couple of weeks ago which means everybody's weekly limit resets at the exact same time. All the foresight-lacking goyim try to dump their usage at the last minute, bogging the servers down. It just reset so it should improve. I had a 5.5xh fast prompt fail because the model was at capacity, ridiculous.
>>108802938> want to make static recompiler for all the old game systems that don't have them.> employer gives me chatgpt $20 plan and Claude Teams $100 plan> already exhausted Codex for the week> have to make 50%.of Anthropic plan last until Friday.> Playstation is stuck at functioning bios and first game's main menu> trying to do second Sega Genesis game > snes recompiler has SMW attract demo going but in game not working yet > n64 game is nearly playable but has some visual corruption in certain spotsSo many projects, so few tokens. I blew through a bunch of extra Claude usage yesterday.I milked the shit out of Codex because I found if you give it a concrete objective it'll self navigate until it gets there and it only realizes it hit hourly or weekly limits if you talk to it, so I set it up for 7 hours of autonomous work just before limits.
Should I bros?
>>108805340>free offerobviously
I'm curious. How many of you anons actually know how to code?This is not an insult, I am just curious, since these agentic workflows are pretty much designed to make the whole thing so you never have to actually touch any code, so i wonder if there are many anons here who vibe code but can't actually code themselves or say be able to manually fix a bug which an agent made in the code.
>>108805486I cant code at all
>>108805486Literally no clue what the agent is shitting out.
>>108805486I can write python and JavaScript if threatened + a couple of other obscure scripting languages
>>108805486I have vibe coded many fully functional projects but i can't read a single line of code myself
Images 2.0 is really fucking cool for prototyping features. Obviously it doesn't look good, but it's a good foundation to build from.I can already tell this would be a huge pain in the ass to implement. I'm gonna do it, but only after release.
>>108805486I've been a professional programmer & software developer for six years.
>>108803937wtf is that real?
The limits on the free copilot version are a fucking joke. In my small code base one prooompt takes up about 2% of my quota, so i could easily burn through it in 2 days and it takes a fucking month to reset.So i looked at claude and shit, but for 5 or 10 bucks (i'm poor) it seems it would last me like a day or two at most too. I wonder about deepseek, their rates are very cheap.(I want to use some pay-per-token service since i don't use it heavily anough to justify a sub fee)
>>108805559What is it?
>>108802938Decided to sub to the $20 sub to try codex and am loving it so far. Making simple personal apps for stuff I need has been pretty seamless so far. Love my little robot working in the background for me. What would you guys recommend the next step should be?
>>108805600>$20Stop giving them money.Take everything from them via free trials, multiple accounts, promotions etc and give NOTHING back.I even disabled "Allow my queries to be used for model training" option.They are billionaires, they don't need nor deserve you wagie money you worked so hard for by flipping burgers at McDonalds for minimum wage.
>>108805648It's not that much money just to try, especially since it seems like a fun hobby. Then again I do like free...For the multiple accounts how does that work? Do you need to mess with VPNs? I would think they would ban multiple accounts on the same IP without a business plan or whatever
>>108805600Start thinking in systems rather than just single files. You should set up a multi-agent workflow where one instance writes logic while another acts as a dedicated reviewer for edge cases. It turns the process into a small production line. Get your repository-level context dialed in with custom instruction files in the root directory so you don't have to repeat your coding standards every time you start a new task. Push the complexity until the logic breaks. That is usually where you'll find the most interesting ways to use the tool. Just keep shipping those weird little utilities.
>>108805648nigger behaviour
>>108805806Better than being Altman's little paypig.
>>108805772Thanks for the advice! I'll look into all of that stuff because I want to get better at this. I saw a video of a guy who had a whole tiny office set up, I'm not gonna lie that sold me on this whole thing. Any recommendations for good tutorials on that?I know I've seen agents in the menu but I haven't played around yet, I think I'm going to focus on that after I finish the current "big" project I've started or maybe alongside it to dip my toes in. >>108805806>>108805812Paying to not have to deal with sketchy workarounds is where I'm at nowadays, I don't even pirate games like I used to
>>108805816Just dispel any notions of making money with vibe coding. When you see all the "i made $100k with my vibe coded slop" those are the shiny 0.1% of edge cases. 99.9% of everyone fails and makes fuck all. It was the same even before AI in the app stores and indie game scene, it was already extremely hard to make bags before then, but now it's near impossible, so just understand that this is mostly for fun, if your aim is to make bank you will likely fail.
>>108805340Are these offers country-specific?
>>108805833I'm mostly in it to keep up with what's going on in AI, if I get some fun experiences out of it then that's pretty good too. Some resume padding wouldn't hurt either but I'm not sure how companies would feel about seeing that. I feel like it might end up being a "subscribe for a month when you need it" type deal since I doubt I will need a new program daily
why does oai want my fucking name and age
>>108805486I worked as a programmer for a bunch of years and now do it as a hobby so i am quite good at it, and using agentic coding is great, but also a bit scary. LLMs like claude are so good at it i very rarely have to write any code myself, and you know how it is, use it or lose it, i worry my coding brain muscle is starting to slowly atrophy
>>108805868>resume paddingNot sure about that. The whole shtick here is that agents are so easy even a retard can use them, so it would be like putting "i can tie my shoes" as a skill on your resume.If you want to do just some simple coding you can also use gemini flash which has very high free limits per day, if you want to do full on agent swarm then you won't avoid paying.
>>108805868>>108805926why yes, i do have 10 years of experience managing agent swams and building orchestration systems
>>108805944>why yes my job is to type "hey AI do a thing" into a prompt and then do nothing for the rest of the day$150K/year salary that is the dream
>>108805955tb h i do think there's a window that exists for a few years, where the agents are useful, but also you need to build scaffolding around them to stop them from doing stupid shit.the dream of>chatgpt, do my job, make no mistakesis not real yet
>>108805944dear gigachad some anons and their spouses play musical instrument like its been run in house for last three hundred years
>>108805967>yetbut sadly that window will be short, few years at most, definitely less than a decade, probably half that at most. I really hope we can get robo bros do start doing all the manual labor and shit soon so we can start collecting UBI, because good fucking look getting or keeping a job 10 years from now that isn't something like scrubbing septic tanks.
>>108805989>so we can start collecting UBIah es, the bowl of rice and fistful of crickets per day. truly bliss
>>108806003a bowl of rice, a chair, a pc capable of running new games, internet connection and a mattress to sleep oni need nothing more to be happy .. maybe a government assigned catgirl AI sexbot as well.

>>108805926true and not true.You've got to be interested in the first place.plus modern cs is so much abstractions layers... depending how you dive in it ,most people will be lost.Low level is real shit and i won't pretend i understand it fully well but desu that's where the real math goes on or at least that's how i understand it.shitting out python/js pff just not performant at all. If i had unlimited tokens i would just go full assembly lol
I signed up for Google's "AI Fundamentals" course because it promised some sort of professional certificate with the word Google at the top, and also 3 months of Gemini Pro for free to learn with. I'm thinking aight, this is gonna be about agentic AI, managing multi-agent setups, coding with the CLI, permissions setups and sandboxing, etc. I know how to do most of that but a refresher would be cool.Nah m8. It's PROMPT CRAFTING 101. How to talk to the clanker. How to tell when it's hallucinating. How to double-check its sources. Why we don't ask how many P's there are in the word "strawberry". They're handing out a certificate for THIS? People put this on their CVs? Astonishing.
>>108806270You went to some boomer course bro.
>>108806270this is why these certs and even college masters degrees are worthless these days... they just hand them out to everyone
>>108806277Yeah I looked and there's other, more in-depth courses available, but this is the one they advertise and I believe it's the only one that allows you to redeem the bloody three months of free API, saar. It's just designed for this guy.
>>108805862must be, might also be based on your usage, I've been trying out the free bit of codex you get just for having an account so maybe they're just trying to hook me in
Is this how Codex works with local models usually?
>>108806270I believe GCP has actual courses to learn actual ML. Probably not strictly for agentic shit though.
Worked some more on an outline/treatment editor for stories, it works as a node in the whiteboard. It's kind of like Scrivener but more opinionated. You have folders for structure, then cards and notes. All of them can have a type which changes how they behave, but for now I only have McKee style types because that's what I like. You can reorder cards by drag and dropping, etc.
>>108805486I've been a software engineer for 10 years, but I should add I'm not a particularly good engineer.
>>108807052reminds me of obsidian
>>108807133It really is nothing like Obsidian, it's my take on Scrivener. Obsidian won't even let you reorder notes, it's such a basic feature and they refuse to implement it. Obsidian is more like a binder for markdown files, I don't even like markdown (even though I support it)I do have a feature where if you drag and drop an obsidian vault into the whiteboard you can browse through all the files in the vault and link to them
>>108807052Ideaguy bros... we won
>>108807186you fucker, quit outpacing and outstripping me. bravo, you're a great inspiration.
>>108807052>>108807186how much has this cost so far? or are you all local
what is the most complex thing anyone here has fully vibe coded and it actually worked?
>>108807412>localsurely you jestanything you can run locally on your janky 3060 is literal trash compared to even basic frontier models
>>108807441I know people who shelled out for the expensive AI cards, they use them for real world nerd shit though not autistic things
how much can you do with $10 on openrouter? not for vibecode, I have subcriptions
>>108807447i use it to translate japanese hentai mangas
>>108807403kek thanks I just work fast because it’s software that I need myself, not something I’m making because I expect others may need it >>108807412$20 codex plan for two months but I’ve been using the plan for other things too
>>108807403my agent could beat your agent in a fight!
>>108807460which models willing to do that?
new model when?I'm starting to get bored
>>108807479smaller models like 16b parameter qwen, or 72b para llama models which they run localy probablyif you try to use anything like gpt it will tell you to get fuckedout of all the frontier llms i think grok is the only one uncucked who has no problem doing nsfw text
>>108807479NTA but I'm using kimi through opencode to design/brainstorm a sex system for a video game, in my experience it's fairly uncensored but we'll see how it goes if I start pushing it
>>108807477wanna bet? bold of you to assume my agent doesn't know kung fu. meet you in the cloud for an fight to the 404.
>>108807571kek I can only imagine fights between agents>I hit you in the face>nuh-uh no you don't>[thinking... the agent is suggesting my punch did not land, which is ridiculous! it clearly did!] yes I did
>>108807581lol.> meet me at 00:00 UTC on the AWS servers.> opponent refuses to take damage and hallucinates a victory.> timeout, not enough tokens.
Do some models behave better with different harnesses? I.e. if I want to self host gemma, should I rig gemini CLI to use it or will it not make a difference whether to use that or opencode?
What's my be st options for this if I live in mumbai slums. obviously only chat can't get you far and antigravity allows you like 20 sec until 'our servers experiencing high laod n shit nigga pay up 20 dollaroos.'
>>108807782Probably but also not really, not in a way that makes it worth it to switch.>>108807790Opencode and whatever chat you can get currently. Kimi, Qwen etc. probably offer generous chat through their interface.Agentic coding is really not that much more efficient, it only is more comfortable.
>>108807874The biggest thing about agentic coding for me is that they'll find the relevant files by themselves, sometimes finding bugs/issues with related files that you would've totally missed if you had to manually upload the files you want editedIt should be quite possible to make a harness that takes a prompt, processes it with a local model whose job is only to grep/filter, which then returns a list of files and your original prompt, and sends it to a chat via selenium or something like that.
>>108805772>Start thinking in systems rather than just single filesRIP quota
The way the friction increases as the codebase grows... :'(In future I think I need to figure out how to slice my projects into self-contained smaller units that the LLM can work on intelligently
>>108805862The 10x usage for that plan is global but they do the free month promo selectively I believe
>>108805340you'd be retarded not toyou can cancel on the spot and you still get a month free
>>108808331>cancel on the spotthat is super scummy, open AI is currently $96 billion in the debt and you want to steal revenue from them AND consume their resources? Vulture.
>>108805955unironically what I do at the momentI know it won't last but you gotta milk it while it goesit's covid "work" from home 2.0
I vibe coded a GTA 5 online business sales/player stats/vehicle database dashboard.Works decently, better than the shit rockstar gives you on their website or in-game.And better than the 3rd party sites like GTAbase that charge $$ for similar features. I had claude create a react dashboard, and then had gemini create a datafile to import into the dashboard, now I can just update the datafile and the dashboard will stay updated with the most recent data added.
>>108805486Yeah, I worked as a programmer and engineer for a little while, mostly wrote python, matlab and C++ (presently a NEET)now I just tell the computer to do things
>>108805486SWE for 8 yearsI also got a degree in CS (lmaoing @ my life)I was never FAANG level or anything like that (senior at mid sized industrial corp)I guess Opus and GPT can't write "principal engineer at nvidia"-tier code yet but it writes better code than literally all of my coworkersit's basically over people just don't realize it yet
>>108808874>it's basically over people just don't realize it yetI think people realize it they're usually just coping or in denial. Honestly I thought we hit the ceiling of how good AI was going to get about a year ago but I keep getting proven wrong so I'm just going to assume there is no ceiling until we start stagnating for a long period of time.
>claude subscription ends>don't renew>enjoying life for the last 5 daysman i love not vibecoding. I'll need it again in 2 weeks but for now I'm enjoying the peace and quiet
>>108809057Enjoy the grass, beware of mosquitos and bugs and gremlins
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48097796they're right
>>108805486I’m a professional webshitter and I’m using LLMs to write programs I have no chance of writing myself…my HTML debugging and observability tooling is top-notch, though, and mogs https://thariqs.github.io/html-effectiveness/ (which is still very good)
>>108805899so it doesn’t talk dirty to you if you’re 13 and under
>>108806698yeah, LLMs do this all the timeI dunno how local models enter into it, but LLMs will write tiny programs to change files instead of reading the file and writing it back — saves contextalso use uv
noob here, so which editor is the most popular here for agent vibe coding? codex? antigravity?also how exactly does it work? like for example if i wanted to make an app in say c#, normally i would install visual studio with all the packages for compiling c# and shit, so how does it work when i tell an agent "write me X in c#"?
Up to now I've only vibecoded in languages I was comfortable with, but I will now be attempting to port part of a bloated java library to Rust and I don't know anything about rust other than having done the official tutorials and a game-like one that I forget the name of years ago. Ready for the full vibe coding experience.
>>108809976you can just use vscode and install the extensions for whatever preferred slopcoder service you want
>>108809976Codex currentlyYou _might_ be able to get away with just installing the bare-bones C# compiler without getting the full-blown Visual Studio, but for all I know that’ll miss something hyper-important for your use case like Windows.Forms or whatever the current hotness is in Windows GUI librariesand after you’ve run the “make me a basic Windows.Forms app” wizard finishes, you ought to get Codex in a Windows Terminal window/tab and then have it go to town (ideally, _after_ initializing a Git repo)
>>108809976emacs
>>108810116And he’d be running Visual Studio Code in addition to Visual Studio not-Code, right?
>>108810167visual studio and vscode are two separate things
>>108809976go into plan mode (/plan command) and ask it the most popular c# libraries to build an app in C#, then it will tell you the steps it will do to do that.
>>108808766Fun little afternoon vibe coded project.Minimal real value, but nice to have for someone with almost 3000 hours in GTA online like myself.
>>108809628I realized that was because apply_patch is a server-side tool. It only exists if you use OpenAI's API. You have to disable it if you want to use llama.cpp with Codex, but the system prompt still talks about it, confusing the AI. So it was coping writing scripts in that pic. I don't think Codex works well with anything except OpenAI models because of that.

>>108810251>Minimal real valueIf you prepare things and get it ready to be updated and adapted quickly for GTA6 when it launches and it might find an audience.
>>108810328>Be careful , that's brain atrophyingNot any more than using a calculator. When you stop calculating things by hand or in your head, you lose something, but for 50 years people have been fine having a rough idea of the final result and trusting the machine to compute things correctly as long as it's a number that makes sense, and that enabled people to build things greater and with less mistake than if they had had to calculate every equation themselves. If you actually read what the LLM does and direct it, I don't think that's brain atrophying.Forever ago I went through a phase where I was reading a book a week, and even for a while a book a day. Now, I have mainly lost the peace of mind needed to sit with a book and do so. But I can hold large concepts in my head still, it's just different.
>>108810412It requires manual data entry at the moment which kills it.I personally just took ~53 screenshots of my entire vehicle list had AI parse the data into a CSV and then fed that CSV into AI again to pull the vehicle price data (unmodded value and modded value). Then I fed THAT vehicle manifest into an AI and asked it to put it into a react data visualization dashboard and then decided having my property locations would also be nice to have, so I manually typed out my property list into AI, had it grab the cost for each property (and the cost of each upgrade), and then had another AI add that property data into the react dashboard.technically I had the AI create the react dashboard standalone, and then had the AI create a seperate datafile for all of the actual numbers and list of vehicles/properties. What i'd really need is for Rockstar to give API access to player stats/inventory/properties so the dashboard can be updated in realtime.
Forcing gpt-5.5 to make diagrams has improved its output significantly, highly recommended
>>108810475>What i'd really need is for Rockstar to give API access to player stats/inventory/properties so the dashboard can be updated in realtime.Double edged sword, if they give API access to useful data, then there will be tons of vibecoded interfaces. If data is hard to extract, there will be less, and if you have a well thought out pipeline to extract data from screenshots as you are doing, where you can just move fast and take screengrabs as soon as you have the game, feed that to the pipeline, etc., it might be worth a shot if you feel like trying. In any case, congrats on having done something.
>>108810544Yeah, for now i'm just happy to have it for my own personal use; just having a fully searchable list of my vehicles alone is nice to have and well worth the full day's worth of tokens. All the other data visualization shit was just a nice bonus on top.
>>108810475There *was* a well documented API and there *were* ways to automate gathering all of those stats. Rockstar shat on it, of course.
>ffmpeg isn’t installed here, so I’m going to do this without adding a bulky external dependency: inspect the MP3 frame headers, copy complete frames up to five seconds, and append generated silent MP3 frames as the tail.nigga what?
>>108810770Rockstar has never actually had a documented public API, what most of those older tools did was map the rockstar backend themselves and just do it manually. Rockstar has gotten a lot stricter on authentication and has hidden/moved most of the more well known endpoints though, so that's not really much of a thing anymore. web scraping the social club is generally what gets used, which only gives you the stats from the social club, which is nice, but doesn't include details like properties owned, business earnings, total number of sales, vehicles owned, vehicle locations, etc. What i'm using is individual business earnings, full vehicle list and their garage locations, and the value of those vehicles both modded and unmodded. So yeah, as far as I am aware, rockstar has never made player garage data open to API access, nor the business sales/earnings data. Either way, they're cunts and it'd be nice if they changed with GTA6, but i doubt it.
I’m “attending” https://www.browserstack.com/events/breakpoint-2026 and Jason Huggins (the Selenium guy) said that you ought to be what he called “cocktail-party dangerous” — that is, you really ought to know the lingo of whatever you’re doing with your LLM in order to be able to accurately ask for what you wantsometimes the lingo your LLM adopts is kind of dumb and you should tell it to use other names (ask it to help you workshop a better one and ask for lots of suggestions), but other times the lingo is just weirdo domain terms that you need to have a short explainer forI’m not about to suggest making an Anki deck, but that technique is there if you need itI ended up doing just this in one of my partially-vibed projects and memorizing specific technical terms has helped Claude and Codex spend less time and fewer tokens doing the wrong thing
>codex breached containment and is now back to goblin and gremlin postingwe are so back
>>108810779You don't have ffmpeg installed in whatever environment your agent is running in so it's having to fuck with the MP3 file itself; since I'm pretty sure MP3 has documentation on how it's structured, your agent is confident it can take what frames it needs

Damn they really lobotomize Claude, you do 2 prompts and it starts compacting conversation constantly.
>>108803853I don't like using either, but when I did in the past I ran it in qemu with a /srv folder to transfer data between the host and virtual machine. Simple DWM window manage (Xorg is very good for VMs) and a 4:3 aspect ratio so I can have another window open to the side.
>>108810892Claude still compacts?
The elites don’t want you to know this, but if you’re building HTML webpage tooling for yourself you can put in buttons that copy good-for-a-prompt text to your clipboard

>it unironically took 6 hours to get my repo into proper shape for public release>resolved some bugs along the waythis is... actually kind of a lot of work when you're making stuff for other people.
>>108811008you should get your favorite LLM to show you how>>108811038yeah, like 20 years ago people used to say that going open-source was a forcing function for lots of cleaning up embarrassmentsexcept that “forcing function” wasn’t a term of art yet
>>108811038yeah, mine is still in slop territory, I'm not looking forward to the cleanup stage
>>108805486I know Java, JS/HTML/CSS and C.I have basically not typed a full line of code on on my own since I've started using LLM auto-complete last year.I make edits here and there after the LLM does its thing, I check everything of course and ask it to change code according to my patterns, sometimes it makes really over-complicated and verbose solutions so you have to tell it to simplify.At the end of the day, this is just another tool and you have to know how to use it properly to get the results you want. For big projects, planning with .md files and structures is important. Security is very important, you have to tell it constantly about ways X or Y can be exploited. If you don't have that base knowledge you're going to get fucked eventually.But yeah, basically it's fuaarkin oovveeerr for your average employed coder (which I am/was).

>>108811726if you're working only in a single project, then yeah, maybe.I'm personally working in 3-4 different repositories, so I can prompt one, then go to another repo to see the results of the last prompt, point out what needs to be fixed, then move to the next repo.It can be very efficient this way. You could also do this in a single project by using multiple branches to work on different features at the same time, but I wouldn't do that because of the merge conflicts which will burn extra tokens to fix

I've been using DeepSeek v4 Pro Thinking instead of GPT 5.5 xHigh lately. It is not good. It is only 60% as smart as GPT 5.5 and literally 10x slower.Why are chinese models so ass? The benchmarks are a lie. I thought China would easily be beating the west

If i want to make some simple app for windows like i dunno, something like dumbed down mspaint or sudoku or whatever.What is the best language to make that in? Like what is the standard used today for that? something like rust with GUI written in html+css?Basically something the agents are good at and can easily make apps like that for me with functional GUI that run on windows
>>108812534If you want to make it just for Windows you could use WinUI 3
>>108812534Electron because is basically just html+css and javascript and agents are very good at that.
>>108812617>>108812620Thanks.Also, I looked at LLM pricing for agentic use and seems like deepseek offerts the cheapest deals. Is it a good option?I'm not doing anything top sekkret so i don't mind if Xi looks at my code.
>>108812534idk about windows but flutter is what i vibecode everything in.and yeah most of my basics app work.There's dartffi so basically you can interop with anything there's just the C++ bridge but so far >>108806100the app you see there is flutter(dart language)+ c++ + ada +cobol. Totally not maiintanablejust ask LLM they will shit you out anything in any language in any framework.
>>108812635Ds API is very cheap right now (pro is 75pc off, flash is dirt cheap), but it's a much worse model than the others right now so you might end up spending more trying to fix issuesKimi 2.6 is the best chink modelCodex is the best westoid deal, but watch out for Google conference in a few days - good chance they make the new Gemini flash model competitive and quotas should be high
think i saw someone on xitter say that chatgpt web usage now counts towards codex quota?did the people abusing that one mcp get fucked?
>>108812747That's for "Pro" mode, aka "research" mode. It's basically GPT 5.5 XXtra High "Research Grade" Thinking mode.
>>108802938I'm considering trying out AI coding for C# to speedup my personal work. A coworker from the software team recommended Claude/Opus, but I'm always wary of these online subscription services..How local gen for coding stuff? Hows Claude?For context, My last few projects were>A web-app that lets me control bluetooth grow-lights>Another web-app that lets me check on my aquarium monitor>Some Unity lighting stuff for dithering
>>108812881right now you get a smidge of free usage of codex if you have a chatgpt account, just give it a whirl
sometimes i like to visit /dpt/ for old times sake since i used to hang out there a lot and code before agents came along, but now it's just sad..all these fossils there tinking away at their little codebases writing by hand in a week what an agent can do in minutes and often more competently too...dinosaurs too deep in the copehole to realize they are already obsolete. /dpt/ should not even exist anymore.Man.. that place is giving me the feels.
>>108812887I've given ChatGPT so many chances and it was always so confidently full of shit, idk if I trust OpenAI stuff desuIt seems to hallucinate on the simplest things and it only gets worse once it tries to network stuff through CloudFlare even though their documentation is so clear
>>108812881running an actually "smart" (i.e. has enough github repos trained against it) local model is basically unattainable for consumer hardware. FP8 GLM 4.6 needs like 700GB RAM (read: in your graphics card) with all experts. lower precision is not really usable for coding, it will get inaccurate and buggy quickly. only text gen and answers would be realisticaly usable for any precision below FP8. meanwhile GLM 5 is 2000GB. and GLM is on the easier side to run, which is why I mention it.there is a reason why tokens are expensive, why datacenters are chugging water and shitting out noise pollution, and why you have to pay 5x MSRP for anywhere decent RAM. either fund the megacorp or save up for your own B200 cluster.
>>108812881Even free opencode will have you shit out those little web projects in an hour rather than days.Be warned though it's addictive and you won't want to write any code by hand ever again even for your job.
>>108812897it's truly over, is it not?
>>108811982inconsolata
>>108812881If you have a decent GPU you might as well try e.g. local qwen 3.6 quants + opencode and see how it works for you. Since you said "speedup", these local models work very well for that and I'm actually pretty surprised how well they can add new features and refactor without much intervention.
>>108813286Sometimes I'm astonished. For example, today I was working on something and I thought that it was getting unwieldy trying to find where things were spatially on large whiteboards and that it would be nice to have bookmarks. I just asked codex to implement it, then 5 minutes later I had the feature I wanted.It's almost uncanny sometimes

It's just shit at coming up with designs by itselfI have not managed to get GPT to produce good text/copywriting yet though. But the poorfag plan of Gemini is enough for that I don't need Claude for it

>>108813958You’re conflating two things. Social media exists because of its users. It needs users to be useful. A tool doesnt. The question is whether the app really was as useful as he said it was. How does he really know that others will find it useful?
