When I cook meat, eggs or with ginger for people who don’t like them, they’re usually converted. Turns out most people who don’t like steaks, ribs, roasts, etc just haven’t had good ones

Both are true, I’m not sure I’d call it “millions per month” though…

Usage has been slowly dropping year on year since 2022 but also this year usage is up

In Sydney, Australia we have fully automated subway with no drivers in them, called the metro

You can sharpen scissors too…

For Anthropic at least, your usage is broken up into five hour windows. During peak periods the usage is burnt in like 1/3 of the time compared to off-peak. You can do heaps, like build large sophisticated applications with 100% agentic workflows, if you spread your usage out over your five hour windows and especially if you use it mostly in the off peak.

On pro, your five hour usage is basically one solid feature developed or one big refactor/cleanup with opus 4.8 with some room left over for reviews, planning and a little mistake. 5x and 10x plans are more in the price range you mention, so multiply that as such. Or you’d get a combination of general purpose daily usage, and development usage.

There’s also a weekly cap but I haven’t hit it.

Fable, aka locked down mythos, when it was available on pro could complete my entire todo list for the day in half an hour at astounding quality while simplifying everything it touches, finding and fixing preexisting vulnerabilities in code review and finishing with 98% of the five hour quota used off-peak

I don’t think most hobbyists would use more than a quarter of a pro plan due to the five hour lockout mechanism

Weird assumption, what does this book have to say about Russia spreading anti-Islam in the UK?

Makes no sense, why would Russia want to promote anti-islam when Iran is their close ally and Russia is 10% Islamic?

It says this is just a bonus

MOTH

I can’t see shit

Invasion this week? Got it

What camera app are you using?

It completed my entire todo list, nailed everything, wrote fantastic tests, simplified code, fixed a stack of vulnerabilities, cleaned up a bunch of tech debt and that was all in one evening

“We believe the financials support the view that AMZN uses its eCommerce business as a loss-leader,” she said.

Critics argue that Amazon’s retail business actually operates at razor thin margins or even at a loss when you separate it from the high-margin cloud computing and advertising businesses. Amazon’s retail operation has massive costs associated with operating fulfillment centers, paying employees, shipping products, and storing inventory. The company is also aggressive about minimizing prices to beat competitors. Amazon prioritizes gaining market share and growing revenue over retail profit margins. The retail business is used almost as a loss leader to attract customers to the Amazon ecosystem.

Where the money goes to holders of treasury bonds who then spend it again

I see you’re on my instance so using Australia as an example - national debt is not getting paid down and is growing year on year. There is therefore no monetary deflation being applied. This has been the case since the GFC, debt has only really been growing

Isn’t Amazon shopping run at a loss, subsidised by AWS?

Taxes don’t take money out of circulation, they just give the government more to circulate

The problem with electron apps is that it’s not unused or infrequently used memory
