Judging by their status page riddled with red and orange as well as the months long degradation with blog post last Sept, it is not very reliable. If I sense it's responses are crap, I check the status page and low and behold usually it's degraded. For a non deterministric product, silent quality drops are pretty bad

It's amusing to observe that Claude works about as reliably as I'd expect for software written by Claude.

If you truly don't want to research use rtings best monitor for X articles and find your budget and buy that one, if you feel the need to compare further pop the model numbers into your favourite LLM

You don't need any of that per se, only if you want to sell enterprise or need to make investors happy, you do. But at $99/mo, people can put that on company card easily. Author only needs 10s of customers to make it worth their time and Claude subscription

To put that into perspective, it's more than what Intellij Idea Ultimate costs to enterprises per seat.

Oh decent timing, this happened to me first time today, I even looked down at the track pad to see if my hand was close enough to accidentally swipe it because I felt it wasn't

There are probably a hundred ailments or illnesses that can fit this description, maybe someone noticed a swollen lymph node or lump somewhere

Yeah it’s definitely just a thought. Getting pregnant in space the sort of sordid thing that’s fun to speculate on, but ultimately we just don’t have enough information. We’ll probably never know, either.

I think at the current price point the capability of office copilot (which I don't use, only read reviews) is that it's basically email writer/summarizer/meeting notes.

Can't light a candle to Opus 4.5 who can now create and modify financial models from PDFs and augmented with websearch and the Excel skill (gpt-5.2 can do this too). That said the market IS smaller

I think you mentioned it, when a large number of people outsource their thinking, relationship or personal issues and beliefs to chatgpt, it important that we are aware and don't because of how easy it is to get the LLMs to change their answers based on how leading your questions are due to their sycophancy. HN crowd mostly knows this but general public maybe not

There is no 'cure' per se as a non-US investor currency risk is just something to accept (or swap return for a hedge but then it ends up being a wash mostly), for example if you invest in a World equities ETF, it's a bit pointless to be hedging exposure to all the currencies. Even if you decide to slant away from the US, it's likely a majority of non-US large caps have USD exposures.

It's more a psychological thing, you see absolute USD return and think you could've made that but there's not the actual return, your actual return is post conversion, if you'd have hedged you wouldn't have that abosulte return either, so you've never had it.

Additionally, if you're like most people and investing regularly or DCA-ing from now on you can buy at lower USD

Is absolute USD return being lower than “actual return” (not sure what that is measured in) an issue if you stay in USD your whole life?

Actual return is for non-US investors having to convert back to say Euros for retirement, after having the dollar weaken, you get less Euros for example

No but your USD return gap should in theory be eaten away by inflation.

Comments on here often criticise ports as easy for LLMs to do because there's a lot of training and tests are all there, which is not as complex as real word tasks
