Microsoft favors Anthropic over OpenAI for Visual Studio Code. I used to code mostly with Claude Sonnet, and I still think it's the most fun to work with. Always pleasant and human-like. But there were more than a few times I had to switch LLMs because it couldn't help me with a vexing problem, and I found solutions with Gemini or GPT-5. Kiri-K2 is also good as a first pass coder. I'm very impressed. But I think Microsoft would never use Gemini for business reasons and so with Meta.

Are we heading for a future of superintelligent AI mathematicians? If AI proves the Riemann Hypothesis, will we feel the same frisson of discovery? I think not, especially if humans can't fully understand the proof.

The City of Portland found a 6% drop (-$12 million) in business tax income this past year. So they are $16 million in the hole. So go on, spend more money helping the homeless fund their lifestyle. Defund the police. Let Antifa be a pain in the ass for everyone around the South Waterfront.
