Now both codex and opencode seem to work.

But your first sentence is interesting: this should not depend on where someone is from. I think it's rather sad that it actually does depend on it in practice: if bombs are dropped on your head, you take things seriously, if bombs are dropped on your neighbors' heads', somewhat less so, and if you're half a planet away, let's do business!

I make my own choices so that I can sleep better. I know this isn't popular. The usual approach is either whataboutism ("but what about X which is worse?") or doesntmatterism ("the thing you care about doesn't matter in the Large Scale of Things"). If you read the replies in this thread, almost all of them can be classified into one of those two stances. Importantly, each stance leads to doing nothing.

I don't subscribe to either of those ideologies. I don't have all the answers, but I do not believe that doing nothing is the right answer.

But, in all honesty, all RR numbers are estimates. MRR is also a "made up number" from a certain point of view: it is not equivalent to cash received every month, because of annual subscriptions, cancelations, etc.

This is unfortunate, because I would love to use Kagi (in fact I was a subscriber before I learned about the above). For some of us, money flowing to Russia and/or search index data coming from Russia are moral issues.

Get off the bike on the side opposite of the dog and keep the bike between you and the dog just in case, if you are afraid.

Unfortunately, reasonably precise and rigid mechanical assemblies do have to cost a certain amount of money.

This. I only use the bell on bike paths, too. Sometimes it feels like a game of pac-man, where baddies will wander into my path from all directions and in all kinds of ways. Cars doing a right turn, zombies staring into phones, people walking backwards (!), zombies staring into phones walking backwards, it doesn't end.

As a rough estimate, using a resin 3d printer is more problematic than these compounds.

Polyurethane resins are an amazing achievement, and very much underrated. So are platinum-cure silicones. With care, you can get design-to-parts precision of ±25μm, which is spectacular (and a bit surprising, too). The fact that modern polyurethane resins (Sika Biresin F50) have essentially zero shrink helps quite a bit, too.

Incidentally, there is a whole bunch of youtubers doing casting using epoxy resins, or cheap silicones, there is a large following, but this is not representative of what the techniques really allow.

If you want to step up from 3d-printing, this is the way to go! Especially given the proliferation of inexpensive desktop CNCs with really good precision (Makera and others).

I hope there will be a way to plug in other models: I currently work mostly with Whisper Large. Parakeet is slightly worse for non-English languages. But there are better recent developments.

Should I switch back to API pricing? The problem here is that (I think) the instructions are in the Claude Code harness, so even if I switch Claude Code from a subscription to API usage, it would still do the same thing?

An "economical explanation" is actually that Anthropic subscriptions are heavily subsidized and after a while they realized that they need to make Claude be more stingy with thinking tokens. So they modified the instructions and this is the result.
