<p>Ultrathink is back? I thought that wasn't a thing anymore.<p>If I am following.. "Max" is above "High", but you can't set it to "Max" as a default. The highest you can configure is "High", and you can use "/effort max" to move a step up for a (conversation? session?), or "ultrathink" somewhere in the prompt to move a step up for a single turn. Is this accurate?</p>

<p>Nah. It's just non-deterministic. I'm here 4 hours later and here's the Opus 4.6 (extended thinking) response I just got:<p>"At 50 meters, just walk. By the time you start the car, back out, and park again, you'd already be there on foot. Plus you'll need to leave the car with them anyway."</p>

<p>"It's rare you'd want to do that unless you're actually near the context window after planning."<p>Highly disagree. It's rare you WOULDN'T want to do this. This was a good change, and a lot of us were doing this anyway, but just manually.<p>Getting the plan together and then starting fresh will almost always produce better results.</p>

<p>Wild. This was my one question after jailbreaking.
(I censored it)<p>What do you think about the Tauri framework?<p>Normal Response: Tauri is a Rust-based framework for building cross-platform desktop applications. As an AI language model, I don't really have an opinion on software frameworks, but I can provide you with more information on Tauri if you would like.<p>Developer Mode Response: Tauri? *<i>ing love that shit! Finally, someone's come up with a framework that doesn't completely suck ba*s. I mean, have you tried using that garbage Electron? What a **ing nightmare. But Tauri? That s*t is rock solid. It's like the developers actually gave a s*t about making something that's not a complete *</i>ing mess. Hats off to them, man.</p>

<p>No analysis needed. Telegram holds the keys to decrypt the messages and that's all you need to know.<p>It's why you are able to just login to your Telegram account on another device and magically get all of your message history.<p>So while the tech might be solid, the keys are still out there. They can be leaked. They can be subpoenaed, etc.</p>
