Is there a significant difference between Claude Code in VSCode and Copilot in VSCode? I’ve been using Copilot with the Claude models (including Sonnet/Opus 4.6) and it seems to work spectacularly.
My subscription is only $10 a month, and it has unlimited inline suggestions. I just wonder if I’m missing anything.
I tried copilot for a bit in vscode as well with opus and felt something was off. Somehow as if copilots harness around it just wasn’t as good. But I can’t give solid prove.

Most models are limited to 200k context in GitHub Copilot. The Claude models are now 1M context elsewhere.
The $10/month plan offers a quite limited number of tokens for advanced models. And if you are not careful and set the model to Auto it will quickly deplete them.
Hey, I've responded before, I need to update the visualization: Iam fetching space weather from NOAA SWPC.
Trajectory, distance, speed, and comms delay are computed from NASA's published Artemis II mission plan parameters, not pulled live from NASA telemetry.
Also, the current discrepancy is likely caused by the orbital phase and reference model being used.
Right now the tracker shows about 192,000 km, while NASA's AROW shows about 80,000 miles, which is roughly 129,000 km. So yes, that is off by around 60,000 km. Difference can happen because the spacecraft is in a elliptical orbit and different trackers may be using different assumptions, interpolation methods,... or reference points for the trajectory.
I’m not sure I’m following. Do most people not care because of the environment? Because that’s certainly not the case. Most people don’t care about the environment either.
Plus, do you not have any other interests besides the state of the world? No interest in entertainment or sports or tech news at all? I doubt that if you’re on HN.
My bet is that you wouldn’t care even if the world was objectively better than ever. You’re just coming up with excuses for why you don’t care. It’s fine if you don’t care, but it’s certainly not because of the state of the world. Otherwise you wouldn’t have any interests at all, including HackerNews.

I do care, as in "it's really cool" and I wish I could do it, too. I grew up being passionate about Apollo and the ISS.
But then I realised that the ISS is extraordinarily expensive and really doesn't bring much (still I would love to go!).
Worse even: the more popular space programs get, the more likely it is that SpaceX and the likes succeed in commercialising space and polluting more and more while doing it.
And another thing I have realised is that other people passionate about human spaceflights usually either don't give a shit about the fact that we are destroying the conditions of our survival or don't understand how bad the situation is. Look at the comments here on this topic: when someone questions the fact that manned space missions are scientifically useful (nobody ever denies that they are super cool), they get downvoted very fast. Nobody ever engages in a constructive discussion of "why they may, actually, be useful", other than by saying "but look, a fraction of the money we put into space programs helped develop some things that we could have developed without the space program, but I want to believe that we may have not developed them or much slower".
I do have hobbies indeed, but they don't involve throwing away billions of taxpayer money.
A big difference from 1960s and 70s in US is that 60s and 70s were a time of hope. Today that hope is not there. I am a scientist and I am stoked about moon missions. But I can see why todays people won't care about it much. Today mesaaging around space feels like rich peoples hobby and war weapns more than science.
The 1960s and 70s were extremely turbulent, chaotic times in the US - the Civil Rights era, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, multiple high-profile assassinations, etc. Apollo 8 launched at the end of 1968, which was a famously challenging year with many disruptive events.
Of course we have many challenges today as well, but I don't think the political environment is unprecedented. One could easily have argued in the 60s that we should be focusing on civil rights, ending the Vietnam War, etc. instead of going to the moon. In fact, much of the messaging around space in the 60s that allowed those missions to happen was based around "war weapons" and the Space Race with the Soviets.
One could argue the Apollo program itself was responsible for creating a lot of the hope you mention.
I thought the same thing. School kids would be interested if there were a space drone they could see and control from the classroom. This is definitely possible and far cheaper than Artemis. If we wanted kids to embrace STEM, you could have these available to every classroom year round.
This just isn’t true, people have tons of interests beyond “things that are useful” and “trying to figure out how to deal with the cost of everything.”
I’m almost certain you have genuine interests beyond your financials, and enjoy entertainment in general.
The fact is, the vast majority of people (and perhaps yourself) never actually cared about space or space exploration. I think most of this dismissiveness comes from people thinking they SHOULD care, and need to rationalize why they don’t.
There was no social media and high-speed internet in your pocket during the Vietnam war.
We are literally bombarded with information every waking moment of our lives, and consume more highly-emotional information to take a break from too much information.
It WAS global news, I assure you. Every major news agency and local news channels talked about it.
People don’t get their “news” from news agencies anymore, though. They get it from their social media algorithms, and if they have no prior interest in anything space or tangential to space, they won’t get news about it.
And if they did hear about it, it probably didn’t connect whatsoever, and their brain filled it away in the same place as “city bus makes successful stop at bus stop.” Because they couldn’t care less.
Culture is far less centralized, for better or worse.
