That's kind of how it feels though. I get the impression I'm micro managing various Claude code instances in multiple terminals.

In Claude code I believe it's /context and it'll give you a graphical representation of what's taking context space

You can also tell it the optimization to implement. I asked Claude to find all the valid words on a Boggle board given a dictionary and it wrote a simple implementation that basically tried to search for every single word on the board. Tell

What are the axes on the chart? Rpm?

I agree, it'd actually be great if they did give maybe $5 or $10 worth of API tokens per month to max subscribers, since they're likely to be the most likely to actually build stuff that uses the Claude APIs. I built a quick thing

Keep in mind there are two Americas, a wealthy one and a not wealthy one; someone posting on HN is likely in the former bucket, and not juggling a retail job and doing Uber on the side while being unable to afford healthcare.

It depends what you include in cost of living. Healthcare and education tend to be more expensive than other first world countries, and the taxes are high given the fact that healthcare and education aren't part of what one gets from p

I'm a bit disconnected from Canadian politics these days, but wasn't Pierre Poilièvre polling quite well compared to the liberals until the US election? And while it's true that there are no confidence votes, Harper has proro

The biggest problem with Canadian capital markets is that investors aren't really that comfortable with taking risk, because the alternative for them is to park their money in real estate, which has done quite well with little risk in

You'd be surprised how shoddy human translations can be, and it's not necessarily because of the translators themselves. Typically what happens is that translators are given an Excel sheet with the original text in a column, and t

Optimizing for capital returns is a simplification of the real world, where it allows for comparing whether it makes more sense to put one's money into opportunity A or B. There's a lot that's not captured by solely looking a

That's what's meant by efficiency, it's allocating it to the place that has the highest return on investment. As you point out, in practice what's efficient is what can capture the highest return, not necessarily the h

It's been a while since I touched Scala but wasn't that a thing in previous versions, minus the braces not being present?

They could use the json.org license: https://www.tldrlegal.com/license/the-json-license It's literally the MIT license with an added clause of only using the software for good, not evil. Obviously, corporate attor

Because people aren't going on AWS for EC2, they go on it to have access to RDS, S3, EKS, ELB, SNS, Cognito, etc. Large enough customers also don't pay list price for AWS.

A training corpus that includes the images from Google image search probably helps a lot.

Counting letters is tricky for LLMs because they operate on tokens, not letters. From the perspective of a LLM, if you ask it "this is a sentence, count the letters in it" it doesn't see a stream of characters like we do, it

The automatic wipers on non Tesla cars use infrared sensors that have existed for decades, so they're a well known quantity. The Tesla wipers use the front cameras to detect rain, and those cameras are focused at a distance that's

It is a scalding hazard though. At 70°C skin burns occur in about a second or so. The thermostatic valve makes it so that the water that comes out of the water heater is at a more reasonable temperature.

It's easier to get from zero to something that works on divided highways, since there's only lanes, other vehicles, and a few signs to care about. No cross traffic, cyclists, pedestrians, parked cars, etc. One thing that's ha

Companies can be successful despite bad practices though. Google is successful and they developed multiple competing chat apps, but that doesn't mean that developing multiple chat apps will make one successful.

If you want to build a quick one, it's yt-dlp to download the video, whisper to transcribe the audio, and Claude code have it summarize the transcript. I'm not at my computer RN but I'll share it later.

I'm skeptical too, but the fact that it works slower isn't too much of a problem if it doesn't require human attention and finishes before one is back home. It's just like how the Roomba can take as much time as it needs

It's not clear if their design allows for it from the details in the article, but you'd want a chain in case you run out of battery so you can pedal manually.

Maybe the future of human connection is chatting with a large language model, at least according to Meta. Haven't they added chatbots to messenger?
