So if money isn't a problem, opus is the best?

jbellis · 2026-09-30T03:41:42 1790739702

Yes. And on subscription pricing it's even cheaper per task solved than DeepSeek.

wouldnt taht be technically no? Fable should be best if money _really_ isnt a factor?

tbf, i barely feel the difference with opus 5.5 anymore either.

Insane!

Nah, they wouldn't have released deepseek open source if they were the case

How are you sure about that? Undercutting your competition (at cost even) to minimize their power is a common strategy.

They'd be running in the red then cause they charge way less than Claude. Sorry but it just doesn't make logical sense. They have open source, papers, and self hosting too

Honestly a unique searchable name is better. I type in racket and results are mixed with tennis and I need to suffix "Language"

There is a naming tradition in the Lisp world, which Racket devs apparently have chosen over searchability.

Qualities or activities that have negative connotations. Guile. Gauche. Larceny. Racket.

I think it started with theorem provers - Planner, Conniver. Then Scheme[r].

I don't think Gauche fits there. There is a tradition of naming with synonyms for "scheme" (as in a criminal enterprise) like the others you listed, with some more peripheral ones like Gambit, Ruse, Artifice.

A funny thing was, when the rename to Racket was still fairly new, someone started looking into adopters in the finance space.

well, i also have to type "rhombus language" to get relevant results for the rhombus language

.NET/.NET Core/.NET Framework migration is painful because of this. VS/VSCode is sometimes only possible with AI’s help.

What? I know what you're taking about but it's literally only 1 dude(Matthias vs Butterick) who has chilled down for the most part Everyone else is fine. Do you have the source for others being toxic?

I think this is one of the few cases where there isn't a grift. It's open source, open research, there's not much to hide? Honestly official statements are pretty tame, it's the people who spin them for media headline clicks that are warping reality
