GPT's output is awful and it gets even more awful when you try to work out a solution "together" because it shits out 10 paragraphs with 20 options instead of focusing and getting things done.

Using Copilot Pro with Pi, way better and smarter than using Claude Code. I haven't gotten a single e-mail and just wanted to use Opus (I use Sonnet 95% of the time with Opus for issues where Sonnet is struggling) and got an error message. No prior warning, nothing, I'm pissed. They just rugpulled all paying customers man. I liked Copilot because I can plan my usage over a whole month and I'm not "forced" to use it for a week before hitting limits unlike Claude and Codex.

Yeah Claude Haiku (don't remember the version) did it first, they claimed it was because "it's smarter now" (it's still dumb). Then OpenAI did it with GPT-5 and Google did the same with Gemini Flash and now every new model version is at least twice as expensive than the one before that.

No thanks, is there no env variable for this? Doesn't Google have enough data already?

Android CLI can write a tool that wraps android-cli and automatically passes the flag based on an env variable.

How would Google have enough data about a brand new product without collecting that data?

> How would Google have enough data about a brand new product without collecting that data?

They wouldn't. But on the other hand, they probably have a large amount of in-house Android app developers on whom they can conduct such metrics collection. I wouldn't expect outsiders to have vastly different workflows, because when you get out of the happy path with Android all you get is pain.

Outsiders probably do have vastly different workflows. Google internally love to stick Bazel on everything and that's quite different (and overly complicated) compared to the usual Gradle route.

`alias android-cli='android-cli --no-metrics'`

Uh do aliases load in non-interactive shells?

Create a wrapping binary instead

    mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
    printf '#!/usr/bin/env sh\nexec android-cli --no-metrics "$@"' > ~/.local/bin/android-cli
    echo 'PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshenv

I'm pretty sure this will just call itself in a loop. You need to use the absolute path to the wrapped binary to distinguish it from the wrapper.

Also it's not a binary :-)

Aah! Yes absolutely right! Using `exec command android-cli` would work I believe

Nope. I have this alias (a default on my distribution) and it's no loop:

    alias ls='ls --color=auto'

Creating an alias is not the same as putting an executable in your $PATH.

That's true. So an alias won't do it if you use that tool from a script or something.

You could export BASH_ENV to have Bash processes source a given file at startup.

Zsh has .zshenv, and Fish just has config.fish for everything with the ability to guard certain things within it to login only or non-interactive only.

> enough data

No such thing.

It's also a lie that it's completely anonymous - you are given a pseudonym per domain and websites can easily track you through it even without an account. It's a surveillance instrument and everyone should stay far away from it.

You can't vote for the EU commission and the parliament has no power.

Tried? She already did EU-wide with the RT ban. Doesn't matter what your opinion on russian state media is, the censorship regime is now in place and it's easy to expand. (Not to mention the EU describes itself as democratic yet has the need to censor)

This thread is bizzare, full of commenters who pretend not to understand why the OP post doesn't prove anything. It's not the first pro-Lebanon anti-Israel post either in the last few days.

people are not upset at Apple.

people are upset at Israel for physically erasing entire nations: babies, children, civilians, elderly, women, infrastructure, etc.

once you and all israel apologist understand the gravity of the crimes, it will be easier to understand people's reaction

Ah yes the classic "look at how they murdered the children!" tactic.

Set MAX_THINKING_TOKENS to 0, Claude's thinking hardly does anything and just wastes tokens. It actually often performs worse than without thinking.

Not the guy you're responding to, but when this happens the token counter is frozen at some low value (eg. 1k-10k) value as well, so it's not thinking in circles but rather not thinking (or doing anything, for that matter) at all.

i was having this issue yesterday. the same prompt would send it into a loop where it would appear to be doing nothing for 30+ minutes until i cancelled it. it would show 400 tokens used and thats it. I tested on a previous version (2.1.68) and it still ran into this neverending loop BUT at least the token count kept steadily increasing.

So we are seeing 1. some sort of model degredation is my guess (why it can't break a thinking loop on some problems), as well as 2. a clear drop in thinking token UI transparency

when i left it running overnight it finally sent a message saying it exceeded the 64000 output token limit

This exact thing is happening to me since yesterday. It comes back to life when I throw the whole session away.
