Don’t say the last part out loud or it will be $800.

iOS users spend dramatically more on e-commerce. I worked in e-commerce. Maybe it’s changed in the last 5 years. But that’s where the ops sentiment comes from.

You better unload yourself before the burden leads to something regretful. DM me your theory and I’ll help you cope. I’ll need precise details. Trust no one else.

It’s a load bearing poster.

It’s a macOS thing too. I turn it off because it burns me when copying code

I'm probably the person ya'll are hating on. Writing code and writing code under pressure while you have a full blown anxiety attack are not the same thing. I'm lucky if I can accurately tell you what I had for breakfast once that triggers..

I still adore the hell out of my 512GB (SD) iPod Classic/Minis

You can buy new shells, colors, storage adapters, batteries, etc.

I did. And then it rewrote it. Over and over again. And I kept restoring it. And it kept taking agency to change it to some other neutral slop.

That’s the point.

You’d be surprised how hard this actually is. I spent 3 days iterating on a marketing site, where I had very explicit / “well written” copy, and it would just repeatedly rewrite it back to the most awful slop. Over and over again! Ended up adding various AGENTS rules telling it to leave the copy alone

It no longer works and only respects a server supplied value now

This used to be really effective and cheap, now it lights my quota on fire, even after I fix the config and restore smaller subagents instead of like-agents

Multiple (slow) conversations seems to be the efficient path for me the past week or so

That was unexpected.

is this a common expression? i'm genuinely confused/curious. i am confurious.

for subagents to be cheap/effective, you have to specify the size of those subagents; i.e. right now by default 5.6-sol spawns many 5.6-sol subagents. 5.4-mini as subagent saves me tons of tokens. 5.6-sol audits the work before accepting it, so there's not really a quality issue.

i'd imagine when microwaves first came out chefs were genuinely excited? it's pretty insanely magical to observe ... at first.

Have you ever heard of a little Show called Branded, Dude?

So xAI now has a "legal" copy of all of Tesla's code? Convenient.

so on Lost when Jack is really upset about Charlie, and he beats the shit out of his lifeless body, ... and it worked, did he do real or fake CPR? These comments make it sound very real.

solidarity; i'm right there with you.

I had someone call my unreleased product slop. It’s the cool thing to do apparently.

at a (previously) $20 price difference, why would they add a 3rd model?

I thought that was a hardware device for your wrist. Wow.

I retried Pi yesterday with GLM5.2 and Deepseek

I asked a simple question about my codebase. Pi: >60s and 100k tokens, I cancelled and gave up Claude (pointed at the same deepseek model): 17s 15k tokens

I burned my $5 GLM budget in 15 minutes.

So idk what the Pi hype is about cuz this is my 3rd disappointing try

why over complicate it? the answer is obviously yes? it sees it and reads the file? might it sometimes not? yeah, just like every other thing you write in agents.md or the prompt. if you want to write a more verbose statement telling it to read the other file do so. or if you really want to make damn sure it read what you wrote, then symlink it, because it does in fact read the thing twice.

I'm so sincerely glad that 28 years later I get to spot hate for eMachine in the wild. What an absolute piece of shit. I remember buying one and immediately returning it and to this day... you get it.

I'd be alarmed that they seemed to know you were going to WWDC. Like, they were tech-aware if they took the drives while you went to tech event... how did they know any of this / scout you?

I could probably pack a bus or several buses just with the town I live in. How many openings do you have? :P

I don't (could be wrong) think other American's seeing content on American TikTok is relevant to China's censorship of what Chinese people see in China
