I can highly recommend https://agentsview.io/ for a way to dig into your LLM usage. It reads your local conversation files and provides a ton of visualizations as well as the ability to dig into each conversation and see al

Do you know the story of the boy who cried wolf? There may very well be a wolf lurking [0] but OpenAI/Anthropic have both cried wolf so many times, incorrectly, that it’s incredibly hard to believe “this time there IS a wolf!”. Remembe

I've been watching this to see if they "extend" it again, let it end, or make it permanent. I'm regularly hitting 90-100% on my $200/mo sub and will switch to Codex in a heartbeat if they drop these limits. This con

Apple just can't read the room can they? For a while I agreed with their stance to not allow web payments for things like IAP but as time has gone on the stance has become less and less defensible and tipped over in the absurd. I'

I looked at well over 1000 listings when looking for a new desk. The filters are sick joke. This was pre-llm, today I'd write something to scrape the results and parse the product pages/images to filter out the crap.

Amazon search has been terrible for as long as I can remember. Not to disregard the scourge of ads that has infested the results but I've been frustrated with Amazon search for almost 2 decades. Oh sure, their search gives you the impr

I really have trouble getting worked up about this. "Rare books" is thrown around regularly but my gut feeling is that's not the case. These are used (often? always?) books and while I'm sure there is waste, in general t

I think their API's are good on their own but in the payments space they are on a completely different level. I've integrated with a number of payment processors (6+) and every single time (without fail) I find myself comparing th

I have not tried OSC's fantasy, I'll have to add that to my list of books to read. I've read the Foundation series but bounced off the Dune books, I think I mostly didn't like the narrator for the audiobook and now that

Same here. I just read SftD (and the rest of Ender’s Saga) for the first time after bouncing off it when I was younger. I loved Ender’s game and The Shadow series but never made it any deeper into Ender’s Saga as a kid. As an adult, I great

I’ve had a good experience with Claude Code + make123d-mcp. I’ve described what I want in a model (“Gridfinity base, here are the dimensions of the object I want to put on the base”) and so far it’s worked great for every print I’ve done (~

$45 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYJL5Z67 This is the one I use and I quite like it. I've had it for a little over a year and a half. I used it to sort (or trash) all my cables and to test new incoming cables.

I'm confused on how they "made it work for us", they seem to have only observed what it did. From the title I assumed they found a way to use the model to follow their own prompts or similar.
