I can easily use close to 100 million input tokens a day. A few million output tokens but at the end of the day maybe a thousand or so lines of code get written.

Nah we did something similar on Microsoft Band. I wrote about how - https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/cooperative-multitas... The tldr is you had to preallocate a struct with anything you wanted captured ahead of time

Embedded people are well used to this. Dynamic memory management is a performance enhancement. It lets you more efficiently utilize memory vs static allocation at the cost of, well, lots of types of bugs. You can always preallocate MAX_NUM_

At that time my city was flush with funding from biotech startups and one or another of them donated a bunch of really nice equipment to my school.

I was at the same dose of concerta for a decade. I just recently increased to the next dosage. At this rate I'll top out of dosage sometime around when I retire. It really isn't on my list of concerns.

Part of diagnostic criteria is how long something lasts. If you have a really good week you aren't going to get diagnosed with mania. If you have a really good month where you quit your job, move to Italy, and try to start a new job ca

Yeah goodie bags are totally a thing. Really well thought out goodie bags are a treat, they follow the theme of the party and they have memorable (even if low priced) gifts. Most goodie bags are filled with disposable toys that break after

I've already granted it permissions to do everything outside the sandbox. It still starts off in the sandbox anyway. :/

My favorite part (codex thing) is how it runs all commands twice, every time. Once on a sandbox, realizes nothing works in its sandbox, then again outside the sandbox. Fucking hell.

All non-trivial code terra has generated for me has had at least one serious bug in it. Typically caught by a review from myself or Sol. But I wouldn't trust lower tier models for end to end solutions.

I listen to lots of music. Music controls are super useful to me. I mainly own my watch for notifications and calendar reminders. Timers, again every day. To each their own.

I got bit by this with redis a couple years ago. The default install on my VPS's distro had it open to the world by default, and it even configured UFW for me (gee thanks!) No password, owned within seconds of install. :/

It is safe to assume anything Darren Korb works on has an amazing OST. Heck even the games that aren't that good (of which there is arguably only 1) have an amazing OST.

50% of a gas burner's power goes into the air. Every test done comparing residential gas vs induction burners has shown induction burners heat up pots and pans faster than gas. Induction puts ~98% of the energy right into your pan. (Ba

Induction is faster than gas. I had an issue when I first got induction where I'd warp my pans because I turned the stove up to max and the metal would get so hot so fast the bottom of the pan would bend. Oops. Lesson learned.

Counterpoint - my dirt cheap entry level induction cooktop has been incredibly reliable. We cook intensely with it almost every day and have done so for years. Do I wish it was smarter? Sure. Is it faster to heat water than my old gas stove
