It's obvious unless you have multiple requests from different models in flight at the same time, and the sum total usage comes out to less than a single percentage.

Do Anthropic quotas give you precise remaining token counts or something? I have something similar set up for tracking my ChatGPT usage but it only gives percentages remaining, which is a pretty coarse metric.

I use OpenCode Go. I've also used the DeepSeek provider through OpenRouter a bit in the past and it seemed solid.

Money is also money, which anyone who makes heavy use of parallel subagents will quickly learn.

What's the most important task you would/wouldn't trust with an agent below the line?

You have a lot of control over compaction, both directly by changing compaction settings, and indirectly by how you structure your codebase/docs so agents use less tokens.

I've been trying to use DeepSeek V4.1 Flash more and been very impressed. My current (very rough) rule of thumb is that an Artificial Analysis score of ~40 is the crossover point for "good enough" for most of the things I need to do with coding agents.

Neither, I'm criticizing the average quality of work produced by the last ~20 years of software "engineering"

Loss of control/privacy, poor performance at high cost, bad UX.

Fortunately our industry has been getting people used to these for years.

I think true ASI will be when AI can bring back n-gate

Isn't the idea that they claim to be willing to slow down if everyone does (ie governments force everyone to), but otherwise they won't slow down because they still think they'll make the best choices with superintelligence if they get there first? That's my understanding of what all the major labs claim to believe anyway.

Your employer should reconsider. Sol high is cheaper than Terra max and smarter, when measured per task. ie even if tokens are more expensive Sol can often do a job with fewer tokens.

RIP Terra

Since I spent my morning fixing a bug in my OpenAI API proxy that completely broke prompt caching and caused my usage limits to burn like kindling, really happy to see some of their new cache tooling:

* Prompt caching dashboard: https://platform.openai.com/usage?usage_section=prompt-cachi...

* Adjust reasoning effort and tool availability without breaking cache

Similar for me. gpt-5.6-sol high has been my go-to for months. One of the reasons I'm pushing myself to try open models more is because it lends some level of guarantee I can continue to use the same tool as long as I want to. And I think we may just be getting to the point the open models are >= 5.6 Sol for coding.

A few months ago I read an article that compared vibe coding to gambling[0] and I've found it a useful model.

I think I misunderstood the original problem

The ESP32-P4 is a beast

Would a HDMI dummy plug work?

Have you tried hooking an LLM up to them to see if it can figure out what's wrong?

There are a lot more devices being released built on esp32s lately. e-readers are another example. I suspect with current hardware prices we might see a significant rise in consumer compute being limited to these types of devices, and a corresponding push to make software efficient enough to run on them. Could be interesting.

I think updating js without review is also against policy.

I am fairly certain this is against Apple's policies. In principle you're not supposed to change the functionality of your app without review.

I personally would love them

Makes me a little sad that it's been almost exactly 6 years since I made this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24475946

In that time I started a domain registrar, a free OpenID Connect login service (https://lastlogin.net/), created the de facto list of tunneling tools (https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling), and built a couple of my own tunneling tools (SirTunnel and boringproxy), all to try and make self hosting easier.

I'm still trying to solve this problem. Some progress has been made (mostly by other projects), but we're still not there.

FWIW, I used to think everyone owning a domain was the way forward. I now suspect otherwise. Domains are too expensive (especially most TLDs outside .com/.net/.org) and the costs of accidentally forgetting to renew are catastrophic. Domains just aren't a consumer product.

I think you only need a domain if you want a permanent public web presence, and I don't think most people need that. Most people just need a better/faster/private google drive, google photos, google docs, etc, and for that it's ok if your domain changes once in a while.

So I think free subdomains set up without vendor lockin are probably the ticket.

If anyone is interested in collaborating in this space, definitely reach out.

> Self hosting implies having hardware and software knowledge to set it up

This is unfortunately true, which is why I think we need a different term for turn-key self hosting. I like indiehosting myself.

Indie hosting = owning a car so you can use it Self hosting = building a kit car

> I feel sad about the artists who suffer due to AI-slop competition

If it's able to generate that is competitive with artists, is it still slop?

It's interesting to see the definitions of terms like "slop" and "vibe coding" evolve in real time.

You could try renting a GPU or VPS

I've found agents very effective at both idebtifying root causes from vague descriptions, and explaining both the problem and the fix to me.

It's not a panacea though. Sometimes it comes up with bad causes and/or solutions.
