I just had Opis 4.8 code up something and actually that's exactly how it coded it!

It looked gross and minimized, the result was awesome but the code looked pretty awful visually

Can't tell if above is good or bad.

Sure after you build a sophisticated the system that supports that, then you "just" do as you described. EASY!

Did you mean it is easier for you to understand Spaniards speaking Spanish than Mexican speakers?

Meanwhile, you can't even go on pornhub in certain states in the US, but yes let's let people go on X and engage in hate speech. In fact I'm sure bad actors will use that site FROM the us, to anonymize their hate speech from Russia/China

New comment by syspec in "Gemini 3.1 Pro"

syspec — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 18:29:43 +0000

Does anyone know if this is in GA immediately or if it is in preview?

On our end, Gemini 3.0 Preview was very flakey (not model quality, but as in the API responses sometimes errored out), making it unreliable.

Does this mean that 3.0 is now GA at least?

RooCode is a better version of ClaudeCode than ClaudeCode.

No affiliation, just a fan.

I guess that's why it's called comedy.

I think this is super cool, but the combative tone doesn't bode well for relying on it in case I find issues or want to submit a PR.

New comment by syspec in "Vitest Browser Mode Guide"

Yes! Completely agree! So hard to debug. Nearly impossible to set breakpoints (they disappear in refresh).

New comment by syspec in "The 70% AI productivity myth: why most companies aren't seeing the gains"

syspec — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 16:03:33 +0000

Sometimes the AI is all too good at writing tests.

I agree with the idea, I do it too, but you need to make sure the test don't just validate the incorrect behavior or that the code is not updated to pass the test in a way that actually "misses the point".

I've had this happen to me on one or two tests every time

New comment by syspec in "Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%"

syspec — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 05:11:33 +0000

Don't worry, the 99% reduction in battery materials is just a strategic pivot to an 'asset-light' approach. The 4680 supply chain isn't collapsing, it’s just being 'optimized' for a future where cars apparently don't need batteries—just FSD subscriptions and robotaxis that run on optimism.

New comment by syspec in "Vitest Browser Mode Guide"

syspec — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 02:29:26 +0000

I used to do this with Karma test runner. The best part was how it didn't try to capture everything, so debugging with breakpoints was really easy.

I like Vitest browser mode, but it's a pain to just "detach" for a specific frame and run that test in isolation, with my actual breakpoints.
