Not really true considering they say that the super secret "research internal model" that was pivotal, is particularly optimize for that purpose exactly

> The internal-only research model is comparable in scale to GPT-5.6 Sol and was trained to advance persistence and multiagent collaboration, among other capabilities

This is unenforcable ; if humans can read for free you should consider machines can too. This is the whole decades-old cat and mouse of websites with paid APIs and scrapers

I don't understand what's the point of this ? Seems like a project whose whole reason to exist is to name it, rather than an actual problem in need of a solution

I think the biggest issue is actually even further that these ones: it's the population itself. Overpopulation has been a huge driver, and it's a problem without a solution ; but it's still too absent from the conversation, especially because the system and the economy rely a lot on the population growing.

But i agree, in absence of a good solution for this part, the next best thing is a change of habits for the people.

Weirdly a lot of the come from company that sell Ai credits in some capacity, and who are also selling (or will soon) some kind of AI gateway or router

The output yes, but do you produce the impact and value of 3 engineers? I have seen this workflow being toyed with too, and I find it to produce massively overengineered stuff that actual people don't really wanna use

Sounds like you are describing a platform, not an OS.

New comment by K3UL in "Xbox goes down. You can't play games you own on disc"

K3UL — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 13:32:50 +0000

I keep seeing article like this, that look like they have been written by these companies to push the opinion. People saying "who cares because you cannot play it anyway" instead of "discs should be less dependant on network to gain another advantage".

But the case for physical disk is not (only) about playability, it's mostly about ownership and the fact that you can actually lend it to someone or resell it. It's also about retail, and it's about collectors. About people with a slow or limited connection having access with that much less to download.

Another thing is also that if I have a physical copy, I have the right to a digital copy. So a non-working disc might not always be the end. But if I have a digital copy and they take it off the table, I do not have this right and it is gone forever.

This is in my opinion the single most important revolution that will come from llm in the dev space. Not vibecoding or replacing entire teams.

Its this and also the ability for non dev to create their own little tools (for productivity, entertainment, family life, whichever).

I think they will put back the "personal" in personal computing

This seems unlikely as it would mean JFrog knew the vulnerability before OpenAI, which this blog posts clearly says the opposite

Prompt engineering, context engineering, now harness engineering. I guess in a few months we'll have looped back to software engineering ?

All these buzzwords for basically what's glorified tweaking and configuration. All these years I should have mentioned I was doing Debugger Engineering and IDE Engineering

New comment by K3UL in "Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot"

K3UL — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 15:59:56 +0000

The price hike was insane yes, but because they were eating the price difference. How exaclty does moving to a Claude sub is better, when it's actually more expensive ?

At my company we did the comparison and Copilot still wins: for 20$ you get a seat and 20$ of usage, whereas with Claude enterprise you get a seat and then usage is completely added. Moreover usage in Copilot is exactly the price of the providers AND it allows us to use various models from multiple providers.

The case that might be less expensive is if you negociate a volume discount with AWS for Bedrock usage, but that is also possible with GitHub and Microsoft.

K3UL — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:19:06 +0000

One of the major reasons I upgraded to ps5 was because it would also allow me to play blu-ray movies.

If the PS6 comes out with no disc player at all, not a chance I buy it.

Also, that's a definite middle finger to second hand and physical stores then ? Hoping MS will make a bet in the opposite direction (but I don't see it) and the players will follow..
