it’s cute you think that’s going to show up in lower ticket costs instead of the company’s profit margin.

you’ve got to give it a way (eg rendering with playwright and friends) and tell it to use that way to verify correctness. it’s not going to create the guard rail for you but if you provide it with one the output is much better.

per the docs each instance gets its own remote control session and environment, so it should handle multiple CC instances.

Austria, not Australia.

maybe it uses the g word so much BECAUSE it’s in the constitution…

Thank goodness, I thought it was just me...

ahh finally success—a fresh sprite goes to sleep as it should. unfortunately the original one i created doesn't, so I guess I'm going to have to kill that one off.

This is great news! If we upgraded our sprite already how long should it take to suspend? I noticed the upgrade earlier and installed it but my sprite is still running.

I think the idling feature still needs some work. I created one over the weekend that hasn't idled once, and I've run several tests with sprites that have nothing in them—just `sprite create` and log out, just to see what happens (which unfortunately is nothing, left alone it keeps on running as well.)

I love the idea and most of the execution, I've really enjoyed getting my first sprite configured just the way I want it. It just needs the idling feature to work as advertised before I think I can use it as cost-effectively as it promises.

Is there something we have to do to get a sprite to idle? Because I started one over the weekend that's still running despite no network usage, so that seems to be currently broken.

yeah reading further into the docs it looks like that’s the model. storage is pretty cheap, $.00068/gb-hr, so a 100GB disk runs you about 1.6 cents per day.

something that isn’t clear to me: what’s the billing when i’m not actively using a sprite? does that go to zero as well, or am i still being billed for storage?

mostly because of slop-squatting i’d imagine…

My personal theory of startups starts with "Series F is for F*cked", I have no idea what it takes to get to a Series K...

My father used to be a prosecutor in MS, and one of my earliest going-to-work-with-dad memories is watching him sign off on warrants for people writing hot checks. I asked him once if he thought that was a bit heavy-handed and he gave me a very stern lecture about people who write hot checks.

So yeah, don't do that in Mississippi.

I think what you're likely to find if you start requiring a credit card on file is that you're now a portal for scammers to test credit card numbers. (Yes, this is why we can't have nice things...)

that's funny, i just got out of the hospital for a case of dysphagia that turned into a perforated esophagus. small world!

do you end up with a finished keyboard or is this giving you DIY plans?

This is basically https://chive.tv

GP doesn’t actually need arguments for it. As change agents AI companies need to argue why they should be allowed to train on others’ code, and clearly in GP’s case they’ve failed to meet the burden of proof.

exactly this. it’s why i’m having trouble getting too worked up about the notion of AI replacing all the jobs (though i think it will end up, for a time, reducing the number of early career jobs available, which has its own social ramifications.)

is there a list of public companies like this that are good candidates for shorting?

i’ve been quietly on the job market the last month or so, and i’ve been kind of surprised at the number of recruiters who insist they need an “actual resume” instead of linkedin profile, which honestly has been my resume for about 15 years now. i finally dropped a PDF of my profile into claude and got a resume condensed, but i have a hard time seeing the advantage in this day and age.

I'm really curious what could be done with one of these plus today's cutting-edge AI mechanisms. Like, how programmable are these?

I hate to break the news to you, but literally millions believed it. There's still more than a (very overprivileged) few who still believe it.

that tends to be the take on most “k8s is too complex” articles, at least the ones i’ve seen.

yes, it’s complex, but it’s simpler than running true high availability setups without something like it to standardize the processes and components needed. what i want to see is a before and after postmortem on teams that dropped it and compare their numbers like outages to get at the whole truth of their experience.

i used it for a year or so then subscribed finally the other day. it really is well worth the money.

I'd like to add that you need way more information on the landing page before I'm going to do much more than let you have my email address (if that.) Right now its a black box that takes in data(?) and spits out... something?
