Curious on this - what was the prompt like? How did you give it access to listings?

After a month of obliterating work with 4.5, I spent about 5 days absolutely shocked at how dumb 4.6 felt, like not just a bit worse but 50% at best. Idk if it's the specific problems I work on but GP captured it well - 4.5 listened and explored better, 4.6 seems to assume (the wrong thing) constantly, I would be correcting it 3-4 times in a row sometimes. Rage quit a few times in the first day of using it, thank god I found out how to dial it back.


Here's the part where you don't leave us all hanging? What did you figure out!!!


I believe they just mean setting the model back to 4.5


Their native app actually feels surprisingly good, web less so, it's not a RN thing.


For me, it's just plain worse.


Try Codex / GPT 5.3 instead. Basically superior in all respects, and the codex CLI uses 1/10 the memory and doesn't have stupid bugs. And I can use my subscription in opencode, too.

Anthropic has blown their lead in coding.


Yeah, I have been loving GPT 5.2/3 once I figured out how to change to High reasoning in OpenCode.

It has been crushing every request that would have gone to Opus at a fraction of the cost considering the massively increased quota of the cheap Codex plan with official OpenCode support.

I just roll my eyes now whenever I see HN comments defending Anthropic and suggesting OpenCode users are being petulant TOS-violating children asking for the moon.

Like, why would I be voluntarily subjected to worse, more expensive and locked down plan from Anthropic that has become more enshittified every month since I originally subscribed given Codex exists and is just as good?

It won't last forever I'm sure but for now Codex is ridiculously good value without OpenAI crudely trying to enforce vendor lock-in. I hate so much about this absurd AI/VC era in tech but aggressive competition is still a big bright spot.


I like using Codex inside OpenCode, but frankly most times I just use it inside Codex itself because O.Ai has clearly made major improvements to it in the last 3 months -- performance and stability -- instead of mucking around trying to vibe code a buggy "game loop" in React on a VT100 terminal.


I had been using Codex for a couple weeks after dropping Claude Code to evaluate as a baseline vs OpenCode and agreed, it is a very solid CLI that has improved a lot since it was originally released.

I mainly use OC just because I had refined my workflow and like reducing lock-in in general, but Codex CLI is definitely much more pleasant to use than CC.


Yeah, if the eng team working on it is on this forum: kudos to you. Thanks.


> Not really

This made me actually laugh. A drug that cures obesity and addiction alone would be a wonder drug.

This one also improves about a hundred odd immune disorders, including being a better general allergy drug than just about anything. My own extremely rare and terribly painful immune disorder is basically entirely cured by it - it completely changed my life, making even sleeping far better. But not just me, I have friends who have lifelong terrible allergies gone, lifelong pack-a-day smoking addictions completely gone, and so on...

"Not really" is truly either the most pessimistic take I've ever heard, or hopefully just completely misinformed.


> A drug that cures obesity and addiction alone would be a wonder drug.

A drug that influences a hormone causing effects on everything that hormone is involved in shouldn't be considered a wonder drug, it should be expected functionality.

It's only a wonder drug that does all these miraculous things if you think GLP-1 is only a weight management hormone. It's not, and you should expect effects anywhere it is involved in. A short list of tissues we know GLP-1 is involved in processes is:

- heart - tongue - adipose tissue - muscles - bones - kidneys - liver - lungs

Effects on these aren't miracles, they should be expected.

I am happy to hear you saw so many improvements, but it's because you had an issue with a hormone that is involved in a lot of things in the body. So it was going to express a lot of problems. It's not surprising that you see a lot of improvements when you begin to manage the underlying cause.


The fact you assume to know what my issue is is wild, and especially since you're just completely wrong - I have no direct GLP-1 issue, my levels are normal.

It's clear you have no idea what you're talking about. Every single case I'm talking about outside weight loss has nothing to do with having a deficiency of that hormone, rather it's fixed by the hormone raising. And given it was impossible to do otherwise, it's a wonder drug, of course. You don't really define wonder by how simple it is, but by the effects, which are tremendously beneficial to many.

Further, I stand by my prediction that in the long run the vast majority of why this drug will be considered an once-a-generation discovery, is not due to weight loss or appetite control, but in fact it's seeming broad spectrum benefits across many systems. And actually your list of effects it has are interesting, because if you investigate deeply the studies published, you'll find that the results are overwhelmingly positive - brain, heart, many organs.


It's a miracle drug for reducing immune overreach, like better than anything we know of. This is also completely outside of the weight loss effects. My lower back is improved by it.

It'll come to be known that these drugs are far better for people in a broad way than even thought today. They seem to have at least 4 effects that individually should be considered a "miracle."


Can you give some examples of immune overreach that are improved?


My wife has had an autoimmune disease that’s caused inflammation for years. Absolutely terrible back pain. She had to rent a motorized scooter when we went to Disney World, and could barely walk a few hundred feet before having to stop and rest for years.

Last year she started Zepbound (tirzepatide) and the inflammation went away, we went to Disney World again and she walked happily all day. Absolutely life changing. She didn’t even lose much weight and this was at the lowest dose.


Tirzepatide specifically seems especially beneficial, likewise here. Years of slowly increasing symptoms since I was young, lifelong annoying issues, basically all gone on it. And also not overweight at all, I take below lowest dose and skip most weeks now that it's under control.


Software is pretty solid as of latest release. EX90 is a sleeper pick now because of the bad press being behind the latest software.


Not clearly a step up for me, it's way more hesitant it seems and I don't notice context being larger at all it seems to compact just as often.


Have a EX90 I got on a really great deal, we drove it cross-country and it was mind-blowing how little I had to do. If it didn't make you touch the wheel / pay attention we could have basically done the entire trip without incident minus off-ramps.

But there was one thing that was quite bad, similar to yours. While passing a semi I pulled it to the left side and it actually yanked us right so hard and then over-corrected once again. Super scary moment, the only issue of the whole trip, but basically never passed with it on again.


How you like that car? I test drove an early model that was really a pre-release dealer demo. It was a great ride but I also didnt get to do a whole lot with the sales guy next to me and a tight deadline to get back home.


Made me want to invest in Volvo. They fixed most of the software issues, what's left is a shockingly nice experience. Touch screen can be a bit annoying is all, but Google integration and design of the UX in the touchscreen is really good.


Would be helpful to compare Lightpanda to Webkit, Playwright has a driver for example and its far faster and less resource hungry than Chrome.

When I read your site copy it struck me as either naive to that, or a somewhat misleading comparison, my feedback would be just to address it directly alongside Chrome.
