With /remote in the GitHub Copilot CLI you can now take and access your live sessions on your computer ANYWHERE!
I break down the entire feature and how I plan to use it:

Why is Claude Opus 4.6 getting dumber?
#ModelQuantization may be the explanation. As Anthropic targets a new model launch, quantization helps reduce infra cost of AI models at the expense of quality and accuracy.
This NVIDIA blog explains the concept:

it was interesting to talk to @brunoborges.bsky.social about the state of coding assistants for Java; since it's the language that powers backend systems that enterprises are notably conservative about updating. If they could switch to being up to date by default, that's a big change in SDLs
"Claude Sonnet 4.6 paired with Rubber Duck running GPT-5.4 achieved a resolution rate approaching Claude Opus 4.6 running alone, closing 74.7% of the performance gap between Sonnet and Opus."
This is the way. Multi-model!

If you want to learn AI, don't pay for AI courses.
Apply for an MBA and use AI to get through it. And you get an accreditation that is somewhat respected in the job market.
Learning by necessity beats learning by curriculum.

#XKCD
April 1st reliably exposes people who don't know the difference between sarcasm, a good joke, a bad joke, and a lie.
Stating a fact that isn't true doesn't make it sarcasm or clever.
At best it's a bad joke. At worst it's just a lie.

I have used the trains in Germany.
It's fine.
21 hours. #Chicago to #Toronto. By #train.
That's longer than a flight from New York to London.
The distance is just under 900 km. A journey that takes 4 hours in France, 5 in Japan... In North America takes nearly a full day here.
Canada+US passenger rail is a joke.

Not everything in our lives must be efficient. Learning is one of them.
The trap is confusing efficient learning with effective learning.
Be careful when using AI to learn.
You still reuse several libraries, day in and out. You don't review every line of code that goes through your stack. You trust most of them.
AI-generated code breaks this contract. The review may only happen after, by someone who wasn't there, or no one at all.
How do we bring trust back to this new contract?
When you write code, you review it as you write it. The two acts are inseparable.
When using someone else's code, you extend some degree of trust because you know they did the same.
As the old saying, "if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go further, go together".
Do we really want one app, tool, web site, per individual, being published out there? How would we even keep track of things? How do we become aware of what exists? The exponential growth in number of projects is unsustainable.
Open Source Foundations and group-led projects are more important than ever when anyone can build and publish a little tool/project/website.
Collaboration and cooperation is what will give ideas continuity, now that kick off execution is so easy and fast.
It took humans less time to learn how to identify AI-generated text than to computers to learn how to write essays posed as human writers.
I updated my website at dlsc.com with Github Copilot. Basically one day of work. If I had a design I could have done it in an hour, but I was playing around with things. @brunoborges.bsky.social

Did some more evaluation of GitHub Copilot CLI today and built a nice launcher app for my #GemsFX open source project. The productivity I get out of this surpassed all my expectations. #javafx #java #ui #ux @brunoborges.bsky.social
When using AI to generate code the term "implementation detail" gets a whole new meaning. #ai #copilot #claude @brunoborges.bsky.social
