A mix. I have hobby projects that churn through that much when I don't need the tokens for others things. I also have projects for clients that easily consumes those levels. As well as a stealth-ish potential startup. Currently I'

I agree with that. Which tall buildings in London has security or not is really haphazard and absolutely correlates very little with fees.

Agree it's worth going up there. Though while the bar is reasonable, Aqua Shard is overpriced if you're going their to eat (the food is good, but you can get better food for the same/similar price elsewhere, including at Huto

The Shard has a hotel (Shangri La) with a separate entrance, and no security to get up to the 52nd floor Gong bar (as well as several other restaurants and bar from 30th floor and up) Next door you need to go through a scanner to get up to

I use hosted providers myself, but I can churn through $100 worth of tokens in half a day even with cheap models like Deepseek easily. If someone's use is as light as yours, then sure - grab a subscription and you'll save far more

Of all the companies I've done work for over the last couple of years, only one have used an enterprise account.

$100/week will get you both a higher tier of Claude and significantly more tokens with GLM5.1 or Kimi, both of which are competitive in a decent harness (for Kimi that means their own CLI - it works well in that, but has a lot of quirk

The number of rounds is irrelevant. Having crunched the data, what is relevant to terms is simply as you'd expect the rate of growth. The only reason it rarely happens with fast growing companies is that the liquidity of an IPO is attr

You can run models near 24/7 per developers at that price with judicious choice of subscriptions, so that's not really saying much. Most people don't yet have mature enough setups to fully exploit that level of use.

If I don't stay ahead of the curve, yes. But I can't stop that development. What I can do is leverage the technology enough to be more valuable than those who don't. By e.g. knowing how to set up processes like the above. Ult

I have stats from a harness that tells me glm5.1 is far more cost effective for us than Opus with the rate of defects and rework taken into account. In fact, with a decent harness I'm now increasingly favouring eHaiku over Opus for exe

I am currently eating lunch. Meanwhile Claude is triaging and writing reproducers for 70+ tickets nobody has had time to look at. Next it will attempt to fix them. I have not read the tickets. I will not look at the code until there are rev

Yes, they might believe you are an expert, but they often ask "experts" trivial questions they should just have Googled. As evidenced by how just using Google to answer them will often make people think you are an expert even at t

But this is often simply not the case - people will often ask for trivial things trivially found on Google.

The best "hack" to appearing smart and knowledgable in the average organisation used to be to not just not say "I don't know" until after Googling things, because 80% of the time the person asking you didn't bo

I actually didn't realise you could apply. I always just went back and ignored the closed ones without reading closely enough apparently. Thanks for making me aware - there are a few that's relevant to me for genealogy reasons tha

That's interesting. I haven't thought about it in that direction before. I'm "of course" aware of the High German consonant shift, which also muddled things a lot (the continuum around to North Sea is a lot "cl

For the PhD thesis in question, I've actually tested a lot of requests about different parts of it, and both Claude and ChatGPT still draws a total blank if you don't let them do searches.

No, but they do retain enough that it is interesting what they fail to retain.

You can access quite a bit directly. Check out nb.no (or https://www.nb.no/en/ for an English version of the page, but of course most of the works are in Norwegian) There are escalating series of restrictions, basicall

You'd think so. It seems like there are a lot of odd gaps like that. I also have a favourite English language PhD thesis I ask every new model about that they still struggle to find even though there's a Wikipedia article about it

I have no idea if the similar spelling will somehow help - I used that mostly because it's a simple way if illustrating the close relationship, but I suspect you'd find that the meanings of closely related words are likely to more

A couple of searches suggests only Emirates operate a direct route between SFO and Dubain, so it wouldn't seem so.

It's really fantastic. I just wished there were fewer restrictions on the content that is accessible. (a lot is only accessible from Norwegian IP addresses, so it's one of the main reasons I maintain a VPN as I'm Norwegian bu

It's a legal deposit library, same as e.g. Library of Congress. Which means almost every published book, magazine, and newspaper and many other works published in Norway, as well as large collections of Norwegian works published abroad

What's special about it is not the flash but training an LLM based on the content, much of which is still in copyright and which the library has restrictions on how they are allowed to use (irrespective of the legal position of trainin

Not really true. Both Claude and ChatGPT can translate into minor dialects of Norwegian they will have seen very few works in because very few printed works exist in them. E.g. I've tested both my local spoken dialect, which is rarely

I agree in principle. That said, they are quite limited in what they are allowed to share of in-copyright works, and nb.no is a fantastic resource as it is (though you'll need a Norwegian IP address for too much of it - it's one o

The frontier models know Norwegian just fine. They can also adapt to Norwegian dialects, and even ape old Norwegian fairly well. E.g. I had Claude describe the novel "De knyttede næver" from 1911 in Norwegian orthography ca. 1911,
