I can tell when my CPU usage spikes because it causes a hum through my speakers, so this does not seem that far-fetched.

What you heard wasn't what they were saying.

This is great but sails far too close to Poe's Law that I predict downvotes.

Probably due to the movie "Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan".

People missed the joke that it was poor English on purpose.

I recall a post recently that suggested rather than a fixed contact interval ("message this friend every 2 weeks") it was better to use a Fibonacci spiral (2 weeks, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, etc). Perhaps you could implement that?

The "hardware" section is really cool, and then you get to the "software" section and it's just webslop.

Sometimes it works if you install an old version of the cryptography package from before they introduced Rust.

My ISP added IPv6 support and my router began handing out IPv6 addresses. How did I know this?

1. My AppleTV began stuttering during playback.

2. My old iMac began crashing every time it connected to the wifi.

At least the iMac has an option to disable IPv6. The AppleTV has no such option so I had to do it in the router.

If you send the full 200k tokens on every request you will get very few requests before you hit the token limit. Caching reduces the number sent but I don't know how much they can cache?

Why is Steam even operating in Russia? Isn’t Russia under sanction so rest of the world doesn’t do business there?

The fact that the UK doesn’t allow “impromptu checks”, otherwise known as “Papers please!” is not a bug, it’s a feature that distinguishes our democracy from other states and we are pretty proud of it.

He says the checksums are different but he doesn’t provide a diff to show how different. It could just be a single flipped bit or something. And that could happen in his own RAM/disk/CPU/router so seems premature to immediately blame Apple.

Doesn’t sound like we have the full story from either side. This blog post from Nate reads like he is continuing to gaslight. But then Jonathan doesn’t explain why he didn’t just buy into the partnership like the other 2 did if he wanted to be a co-owner.

Both of those models have Anthropic API compatible endpoints, so you just set an environmental variable pointing to them before you run Claude Code.

A lot of sites now don't even a "sign in" now. You only have a large "sign up" button, which you have to click, and then in very small text at the bottom of the sign up screen find the link for "already have an account?"
