People might be triggered by the word "worthless" but I totally get your point. I hear great things about the language but only have so many hours in the day and so many usable neurons to spend in that day. Someday it would be nic

My refurb had a fresh battery that says I'll get 150 miles if I avoid my normal "enthusiastic" pace. 53mi is weak sauce, but that sounds like the battery was near EOL. I charge mine at home which definitely keeps the wear and

Insufflation for medicinal purposes if it works and doesn't cause harm seem like a win. Less needles == more use.

Would a sublingual dose be possible/more effective? Research in other (um, yeah, medicinal!) compounds shows that it can be an effective pathway to the bloodstream rather than trying to survive the digestive system.

I didn't see the commercial but had it described to me -- it seemed like a brilliant bit of whitewashing the "oopsie we just added more surveillance state!" The proposed solution is lovely. And having the tools of the surveil

I've had a similar idea, but too many squirrels out there. I hope this works and can be embraced and extended in a positive manner for the developer community.

That makes sense. A "secret shopper" might be a better way to avoid that but wouldn't give him the strokes of being the god in the room.

Might there be a way to leverage local models just to help minimize the retries -- doing the tool calling handling and giving the agent "perfect execution"? I'm a noob and am asking as wishful thinking.
