I see no advantage with this over real money transfers. At all. Just use some kind of escrow.

You don’t need a third party, or anybodies permission, nobody can censor you or block your transactions, you don’t need a bank account with everything that entails. The barrier of entry is the same as creating an SSH keypair. It works globally, fast, cheap. You do not need to trust anybody, all the code is open and the ledger is cryptographically verifiable by anyone. There are lots of advantages.

In this scenario, the repo owner can just merge the patch but still refuse to pay back the shitcoin. With escrow, the escrow entity would act as an arbiter

But it's incredibly incapable compared to SOTA models. OP wants high quality output but doesn't need it fast. Your suggestion would mean slow AND low quality output.

Set your parameters to make that point then. “Yeah just run a 1T+ model on CPU”

As opposed to the relentless innovation they have demonstrated in the past 5+ years? /s

Opus 4.5 starts being lazy and stupid at around the 50% context mark in my opinion, which makes me skeptical that this 1M context mode can produce good output. But I'll probably try it out and see

I've seen some issues with garbage tokens (seemed to come from a completely different session, mentioned code I've never seen before, repeated lines over and over) during high load, suspect anthropic have some threading bugs or race conditions in their caching/inference code that only happen during very high load

zen browser is pretty much vibe coded

Do you have any proof/more about this? I've never heard this claim and I'd like to know more

1. Zen Browser had remote debugging enabled by default and disabled the security prompt for it. Extreme incompetence or malice? https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927

2. Social trackers are selectively allowed, unsigned extensions are enabled by default, and Enhanced Tracking Protection isn't fully implemented.

There's just a theme of incompetence, trying to cover it up and just in general being clueless about security.

Github still refuses to switch on support for ipv6 traffic for some reason, so you can't interact with github then

There has to be a tech reason (beyond the normal) for that, right? What could it be?

Because they get no telemetry or usage data if you use a third party tool.

Just pay per token if you want to use third party tools. Stop feeling entitled to other people's stuff.

The CIA is also taxpayer funded. Do you have similar expectations of transparency into their missions?

Claude Opus 4.5 is a paradigm shift
