It’s not “some trim”, it’s basically half the animal. I buy several whole cows a year and out of a carcass that yields 400 lbs of meat, I’ve never managed to get more than 60% with a very good butcher. Cabeza/lingua/tripa/off

I’ve seen where a local butcher slaughters the cows for local farmers, and it’s definitely nowhere near as sanitary as the meat packing plant I wrote some software for. It’s not dirty or unsanitary by any means but he just doesn’t have the

“Imagine if we capture even just 0.5% of the market!” That feels very 2010s Silicon Valley. Simpler times.

For one you can ask Pi to create a TUI extension, so along with the agent interface you can add whatever custom TUI you need, such as portfolio stock tickers, alerts, whatever you want. Many of my harnesses eventually turn into customized U

The five hour budget is about 15% of the weekly on Max 20x. I had about 15% left.

Just before I canceled my 20x Max sub I had a day where I had ~15% of my weekly I was trying to burn. I set it on ultracode and because I had set the max agents 32 for another project and forgot, the five research agents ended up spinning u

I’m assuming many people also haven’t experienced their warranties and service networks. I remember decades ago when I was a teenager and anytime my Dell XPS stopped working (or I dropped it…) a tech would come in a van within two days and

You really think OpenAI is selling $1500/mo of electricity (at $0.05/kwh) for $200/mo? I’m guessing that Wh/token estimate is several orders of magnitude too high.

Generating datasets to train more efficient models is a common use case for VLMs, especially frontier ones. It makes it much cheaper to create that initial dataset and you can abuse the nondeterminism of LLMs to identify data for human revi

For those of us in Southern California there’s a similar attraction in the San Gabriel Mountains called the Bridge to Nowhere [1] along the East Fork. It was originally built in 1936 (for the gold miners IIRC) and then a massive flood in 19

> The word Mississippi itself comes from Messipi, the French rendering of the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe or Algonquian) name for the river, Misi-ziibi (Great River). [1] I guess technically it’s the Anglicized French transliteration of the Al

It is an Algonquian name for the river, which the French transliterated when they explored the upper reaches. The whole thing is called the Mississippi river because it was the first to be discovered and named, and the French name stuck (I

I don’t know, I get dopamine hits from sharpening my handplanes and using my Veritas routers on some scrap, but I just can’t empathize with getting a dopamine hit from using a bot. Especially with how bad Opus 5 has been. I am however going

Yeah it feels like a very different model. I don’t try to fill up Apple/Google cloud drives to 1TB because then I’d have to clean up when I need space. I don’t bother trying to maximize my Audible subscription because there’s only so m

I’m in LA in a very high CoL area and my nearest Walmart has a 13oz Lays family sized bag for $4.77. I see $5.99 at the local high-ish end grocery store. Both on Instacart. My favorite Mexican grocery store afew miles way has 8oz bags on th

That’s measuring price discrimination on an impulse buy. You have to compare wholesale prices for any kind of shrinkflation comparison across one product. $7 sounds like what I’d pay at my neighborhood liquor store, not Walmart or Costco.

Twenty years ago this would have been “I Wanted to Own My VIM config, Then [Insert IDE] Won”. The perennial question is, have you gotten any actual work done or are you now just configuring Codex Desktop? > Then the seams became my job.

Hollywood accounting rules are regular accounting rules (GAAP). The only reason “Hollywood accounting” is a thing is because of a bunch of actors who didn’t know the difference between “gross” and “net” points got screwed over. Everyone inv
