I can't speak for anyone else, but I get my errands done at 12 - 3ish. I work 8 AM - noon, 3 PM - 2 AM. (Exact ranges vary.) I don't have an office and I've never met most of my coworkers. I'm exceedingly angry that rest

When privacy disappears, liberty soon follows. You are cheerleading the erosion of our freedom for a harm that you can't even quantify. Tax and fine Meta for selling to kids and the social media targeting them will disappear. That is t

There is no spin here. Google is pulling up the ladder. There won't be an open web, there won't be user installs, there won't be anonymity. Everything will be identified, attested, and allowed only when Google permits it. Nev

Are you sure it's just kids? In dealing with the ills of social media, you do what you do with every other negative externality - you tax it. At least the parts of it you don't like. Designing privacy, freedom, and liberty destroy

I'd seen all the shock websites by age 12. Kids love to prank each other. None of this is a real harm. The real harms are the government being able to put a muzzle on speech, track who says what, and begin to cordon off areas of though

We need to stop this helicopter civilization bullshit. We're building 1984 to protect from god knows what imaginary harms. Stop putting plastic wrap around people's freedoms, liberty, and right to privacy.

If Fable becomes "API priced", I'm going to switch from Claude Code to some other harness. My loop will switch from "100% Anthropic subscription" to "10% occasional Anthropic API credits + 90% Chinese models&qu

If it's API pricing, I'm going to ditch Claude Code and switch to a harness that can jump between GLM and Claude Code. Cheap pricing is why I use Claude Code. The minute they fumble that, I'm using Chinese models for 90% of t

Every bit of code written in the last 50 years is going to be meaningless. People need to get to grips with that fast. Distribution, relationships, processes, mindshare, marketing, and politics matter. Code is just ephemeral glue and implem

Different use cases. People making images, where the image is the focal point, want to spend more per image. Where images are parts of reports or throwaways or demos, cheap is the better approach.

My question is still this - why not just use GLM at that point? The pricing of Opus outside of Claude Code is insane. The tokens cost too much outside of Anthropic's blessed path.

by echelon 4mo ago
Why use a personal harness? You have to pay API pricing, which is far more costly. I'd either switch to GLM wholesale or just continue to use Opus within Claude Code as the blessed, subsidized path.

It's not a dichotomy anymore. With AI tools I can make for myself. I was already a creative before AI, but now I have a lot more control in more domains than I could express myself in before.

The CEOs spent so much time talking about putting everyone out of work and how "unsafe" their models were that the government stepped in with export controls. They did this to themselves.

Wanted to mention the Analogue since ModRetro was mentioned. https://www.analogue.co/products https://www.analogue.co/editions I think these look a lot cooler, though they're less hackable.
