Not exactly the word I'd use, since it really hasn't changed since VB4, but it's definitely reliable and stable.

I remember even back in the early 2000s https for credit card forms was pretty common. Surprised a company like Pandora wasn't with it by thr 2010s.

It works both ways, "Folks mad at bank for leaving the vault open."

I think I also fit into this category. Minor to medium productivity boost and maybe some stylistic evolving, but largely no complaints because it's just another tool I use sometimes.

Freenode melted down a few years back, there was a lot of drama around what happened, but I don't think it's active anymore and if it is, it's probably not what you remember. The community splintered and moved to other hosts.

That sounds awful.

Miniflux is close, it has a minimal ui, but it also has a full api.

I've been using it for a few years and it's pretty great.

That would make sense, but that was not blindingly obvious from reading the article.

Thanks for putting those together and commenting, I may have missed that connection on my own.

I think his McDonalds test is particularly interesting, and while it probably has some holes, I think it has some merit as at least a leading indicator of which group you're a part.

That maybe true, but it has been a very good State Park for much longer. It's not like they made it up.

Do you have any tips for learning more and getting started? I have searched a bit, but always appreciate anecdotes of those that have found success enough to speak about it.

I don't begrudge folks trying to make a decent wage. I also have to agree that it seems a few factors have all combined to make the experience pretty bad for the consumer.

Order kiosks, long waits for food, skyrocketing prices all contribute to choosing other options. If you're going to spend $15+ per person and it still takes 30 minutes to order, wait, and eat youre alternative comparable options are greatly expanded and people are chosing to go to independent cafes for better food and experience at the same price point.

While true, the questions are all points where the LLM would have "assumed" an answer and by asking you get to point in the right direction instead.

> This looping is a sort of "context-rot" -- the agent has the problem statement as part of it's input, and then a series of incorrect solutions.

While I agree, and also use your work around, I think it stands to reason this shouldn't be a problem. The context had the original problem statement along with several examples of what not to do and yet it keeps repeating those very things instead of coming up with a different solution. No human would keep trying one of the solutions included in the context that are marked as not valid.

With Claude code you can have a personal, project (shared) and project local set of memory files.

I would put the bits about clarifying questions in your personal (machine level) claude.MD file so it applies across projects.

That has not been my experience, Copilot using Claude is way different than claude code for me. Anecdotal, and "vibes" based, but it'd what I've been experiencing.

While I don't disagree that determining usage is incredibly difficult, it doesn't take a genius to see that something sold "by the million" is something you can expect to to use a lot of.

That is exactly the use case they're trying to stop. Sharing accounts.

There is no solution to that as far as I can tell, and it really stinks.

NK "fake employee" finds a non technical American to run their laptop farm by lying to them that running these laptops is helping make their access to some service faster.

Living up to your screen name I see, but in all seriousness, I fully agree. The average person running the laptops in a spare bedroom may have no idea the scope of what they're involved with. Especially if they're being duped as well.

Imagine a non technical person being told they're helping run an "edge data center, close to the users. Running our laptops helps Netflix/facebook/etc (insert big tech name of your choice) run faster for you and your neighbors and well pay you to do it."

Easy to imagine a non technical person buying that lie.

Seeking opportunities to use my skills I'm interesting ways, helping people do their jobs better, easier, or faster.

I've been a developer for close to 20 years, working primarily in web application development and data processing/ETL work.

Sounds like you are had some experience that might leave you with some unique insights into markets underserved by small players that can deliver continuous improvements.

Gotcha. I am in the same boat with pay as you go credits and evaluating what it can do. There are limits with the max subscription but I'm not sure exactly how to measure it against the pay as you go tokens. So for now I just use tokens sparingly.

Are those costs from the pay as you go credit system or is that on top of a max subscription?

I've tinkered with the pay as you go, but wonder if a higher cap on max for 100/month would be worth it?

That is definitely a search engine I would like to use. If it existed.

Where do you do recommend someone start the journey of being a llm service user to a llm tool user?

What kind of hardware is needed to get something useful running locally?

I had a aimilar situation with SO Jobs, but I was the technical lead, but it was very similar. I was able to manage the listing, was involved throughout the hiring and onboarding process. Within his first year, he ended up finding one of my answers on SO as well.

Definitely disappointing they shut down the job board, because the quality of candidates was higher than any other board we've used since.

Ironic that the diesel that replaced steam and pure electric is actually diesel electric.

While true and a pragmatic approach, that's another part of the same root problem.
