beacon294··on What Claude Code's Source Revealed About AI Engineering Culture
It was my intent but it's also fine to be more direct.
beacon294··on What Claude Code's Source Revealed About AI Engineering Culture
Pi
beacon294··on Pro Max 5x quota exhausted in 1.5 hours despite moderate usage
Politely, no.

- I wrote an extension in Pi to warm my cache with a heartbeat.

- I wrote another to block submission after the cache expired (heartbeats disabled or run out)

- I wrote a third to hard limit my context window.

- I wrote a fourth to handle cache control placement before forking context for fan out.

- my initial prompt was 1000 tokens, improving cache efficiency.

Anthropic is STOMPING on the diversity of use cases of their universal tool, see you when you recover.

beacon294··on I've been waiting over a month for Anthropic to respond to my billing issue
Oh no, that's the same on the $200 tier, don't worry. You never talk to a human.
beacon294··on Artemis II crew see first glimpse of far side of Moon [video]
He could be expressing the generational frustration of being black in America. When things are so segregated you feel you are looking across at a different country landing on the moon, you might write such a poem.
beacon294··on Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry
This is wrong, Claude is the worst of the best: codex, pi, opencode, droid/factory, there are many more others can vouch for.
beacon294··on Android Developer Verification
You were wrong at percentage. The question is what count would want this.
beacon294··on CodingFont: A game to help you pick a coding font
I had the same but I am thinking of updating to see if I can optimize my terminal a bit. Roboto has font weights, and probably has a better emoji pack, although that's just a guess -- maybe google doesn't tack on emojis by default.
beacon294··on Hawaii's worst flooding in 20 years threatens dam, prompts evacuations
Sometimes I see a silver lining to this behavior but it comes down to personal taste. A number of people likely appreciate that nice buffer between them and Kihei.
beacon294··on TorchLean: Formalizing Neural Networks in Lean
Do you mean the distribution of representable numbers as floats or do you mean real numbers? I always assumed infinity was stored between 0-1 because you can 1/x everything. But I have never had enough free opportunity time for maths.
beacon294··on MacBook Air with M5
My problem was simply chrome so I switched to brave.
beacon294··on Block the “Upgrade to Tahoe” alerts
What? Let me put this warning in the top comment. I got one.
beacon294··on Block the “Upgrade to Tahoe” alerts
I read the old forums carefully:

[BIG Warning: this didn't work for child commenter]

- simply decline/reject the TOS on install. It will auto uninstall the installer and go away.

Life has been good since.

beacon294··on Pi – A minimal terminal coding harness
FWIW the lockout probably wasn't related... maybe the content you were working on or your context window management somehow triggered something?
beacon294··on Discord cuts ties with identity verification software, Persona
It's up.
beacon294··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
I would like to know why it is correcting thanks to Thanksgiving.

I considered starting a similar tweet to Tim Cook today but decided it would do nothing.

I tried adding swifter, i tried vtt, they filed that up to.

If true wondering, this message is typed on my apple phone.

*Edit: Just figured out I can delete the apple keyboard from the enabled list. They can put that in their metrics and smoke it.*

beacon294··on What I learned building an opinionated and minimal coding agent
My codex just uses python to write files around the sandbox when I ask it to patch a sdk outside its path.
beacon294··on Show HN: Flatagents: State machine orchestration with stateless LLM agents
These are called flat because they are defined in flat files.

Apparently researchers call non-hierarchical state machines "flat machines" / "flat agents". Oh well!

I think editing post content locks after some time or edit count.

Well-formatted examples:

beacon294··on How uv got so fast
Probably for any case where an actual human is doing it. On an image you obviously want to do it at bake time, so I feel default off with a flag would have been a better design decision for pip.

I just read the thread and use Python, I can't comment on the % speedup attributed to uv that comes from this optimization.

beacon294··on GLM-4.7: Advancing the Coding Capability
Can you use search? Anything else missing? I use cerebras glm 4.6 thinking on aider and looking to switch some usages to claude code or opencode.
beacon294··on Kimi K2 1T model runs on 2 512GB M3 Ultras
It's confusing but Kimi K2 Thinking is not the same.
beacon294··on Why are 38 percent of Stanford students saying they're disabled?
> By pathologizing them, we(society) loose touch for what they mean in our life. It also makes discourse hard because the (this is causing me to truly not be able to function) gets mixed in with the (this is a way that my brain behaves, but I can mostly live a life).

As I recently learned, ADHD executive processing issues, rsd, and demand avoidance absolutely are a pathology and if you don't even know you have them it is like being hit by a truck when the requirements of your workplace (and your life) change under your feet.

There are situations in which I will use my accommodations in the future, but it has not been an everyday need for me.

Think of dyslexia. My dear friend is an all star aerospace engineer but he couldn't read his tests in college, so he used the extended test proctoring. In the workplace he needs to receive a report, then read it and meet after he has spent appropriate time on it. This is an accommodation. It is required.

beacon294··on Structured Procrastination (1995)
By the way, the difference is not motivation by interest, but dependence on interest to initiate a task or even think about something.

I use sony xm5 over ear if tha's the kind of product you mean? I want something overear for running and lifting though... I sweat a lot.
beacon294··on Structured Procrastination (1995)
Yes, this article is very helpful. The website is very noisy, maybe to keep hyperactive ADHD people around, but it's horrible for me. Try a reader mode:
