I think this does a very good job of describing the real gaps agents are hitting in practical usage, along with a fairly compelling rationale for why those gaps aren't likely to disappear any time soon. If we're going to stabilize

Yeah, I think they did switch the unit type.

I worked part time with MiMo 2.5-pro over the last month, and barely managed to use 500 Million of the 700 Million tokens I had allocated. My plan was just upgraded to 38 BILLION tokens per month. That's at least 10X the tokens I'

Oh, I don't want mean for myself, I mean as an experiment at the other end of the four-day work week spectrum. Though for myself, I like having time to think about ideas in between when I collaborate with folk on them, so I have a lot

It's a little bit snark, but I do think it would be an interesting experiment. Wish I had lots of money to try it out.

Four-day work weeks are for cowards. Take all that AI productivity and found a one-day work week company. One day of focused collaboration each week, let bots and brains chew on stuff in the interim.

Yes. I tried a couple of weeks with non-Pro, and it was pretty good, but I had too many spare tokens, so I switched back to Pro. :)

I've gone through ~600m tokens in Xiaomi Mimo though Claude, and it's been the most effective use of an agent I've had yet. It's very capable, but generally not ambitious, picking simple but effective solutions to most p

It's totally plausible, just pointless for most of us to spend any time thinking about. If someone with $200,000 wants me specifically dead, I'm going to die, one way or another. This tech doesn't substantially change the lik

Uh, so it says this dates from Nov 2025. Nov 2025 was also when most of us learned about the acting Chief Security Officer at DHS, whose name AND photo seem exactly like the calling card of someone who had these "keys to the kingdom&qu

Maybe I missed it in the article, but it's less: "AI uses more water than other things" and more: "AI's water usage is being approved without proper planning, because of the arguably fake sense of urgency around it.

I've built a developer platform around GitLab, and it's got some nice stuff, but it's not revolutionary. But that's not all that relevant to the opportunity in front of them. The opportunity, generally, exists because of

My extremely cynical, but not yet proven wrong view: Tech, more or less, has a group of investors centered around Silicon Valley. Not the only ones, but especially now, the most active. Generally, these folk have a lot of exposure to AI, an

My response to this, as a generally satisfied CloudFlare customer who was excited to try out agentic email, is that it's not a good time to increase the amount of business I do with them.

I am curious about this myself, as it's a major company that I would think is worth taking seriously. But this and the previous release got suspiciously few comments.

I applied to the Head of Engineering and Infrastructure role two months ago, and got a fairly generic rejection almost immediately that suggested I had been automatically screened out. I've cleaned up my LinkedIn a bit since then, so p

Yup, completely confusing Warner Bros and Disney. Thanks for catching that!

So Ellison's big investors wouldn't back his ridiculous (-Disney) Warner Bros bid without him juicing the performance of Oracle in this way? (thanks for the reply correcting the company)

This is terrible, perhaps the worst thing this administration has done (which is an incredibly high bar.) Because it provides a pathway to full government control of the internet. Content that demonizes the current administration's ene

Yes, that's what is happening here, except it goes beyond surveillance. This is about full domestic control of the internet. For both ingress and egress. Remember how Iran likely murdered thousands of protestors a few months ago, but w

In the US, automakers are still a big source of union power, which is at least part of the reason Trump is pushing them to drop EVs. In a fascist state, you want all powerful industries closely tied to the rulers.

Make that $6.91, despite only having $5 in my Anthropic account. I would love to know why it took so much more and didn't finish the job, but I'll have to set up a smaller experiment context.

Considering I just paid $5 to have Sonnet 4.6 fail to complete something Gemini Flash 3 was doing for ~$1, I'm very curious to try it out on more models, in particular cheap ones like this. :)

Applied to the Product Manager role. Most of my experience is on the engineering side, but I've done a fair amount of developer advocacy and SDK building, along with a bit of product management, so it seems like it could be a good fit.

This weaponization of public resources for partisan purposes is hardly surprising, but given the government is shut down, I would imagine black or even grey hats might feel like it's open season on .gov, so I would be surprised to see

Yes, but there was also a step 0 where DOGE intentionally sabotaged existing federal employee workflows, which makes step 2 far more likely to actually happen.
