It seems the big AI companies are gouging enterprises with higher prices.

Claude tells me the retail price of the tokens I use on a personal plan outside of work. It’s way more than the plan costs me, by a factor of 50 or more. But at work I don’t see such discounts reflected in work’s estimates of my token spend. Something strange is going on.


None of the financials make sense right now because everyone is racing to AGI under the assumption that whoever wins will (probably literally) rule the world

Pruning of proposed features maybe?

well that would be YAGNI wouldn't it? this is about removal of an existing feature, not a proposed feature.

I do this with syllable counts for my main contacts full names. Too lazy to learn morse code, and syllables work great except when there’s overlap (two people with same counts).


The reduction-and-pattern-matching (a kind of bloom filter, I suppose) reminds me of whistled Spanish:

Thank you for sharing, this is one of the coolest things ever!


Reusability is harder.


The X video stream is flawless.


White nationalist is a wild, wild misreading though. Though not an uncommon one.

The Overton window doesn’t allow talking about all real issues, so people like yourself mistake race as the crux of the matter, when other issues are the real topic.

If you want understanding, work on helping open, not close, the Overton window.


Nah, he's shown his hand thoroughly at this point.

You may not realize this, but you're making excuses for his behavior. I'd recommend not doing that.


Very well reasoned and it fits a long evolved pattern but what you’re describing fits the mass sociopathic behavior called shunning, as engaged in by some religions like JW if you need a neutral example to think about. It is in no way good for society or for individuals in the long term.



Actual Nazis, sure. But don't believe everything you think.


Yeah, actual Nazis who commit administrative murder of a non-zero number of people in Africa who died from preventable diseases due to the DOGE USAID cuts. Some might call it administrative eugenics. I heard the guy who did that also threw a pretty obvious gesture that shows support for that ideology. I choose to believe my eyes and my functioning brain, thanks.


This has been debunked.


Sure, cringelord. You even talk like Elon. Maybe I found another Elon alt account.

Debunked by whom? The ministry of truth? Are we not supposed to do basic cause and effect inference? And which part has been debunked? The salute, or the austerity and deaths due to USAID cuts? The salute’s been debunked by the emperor’s groveling subjects who proclaim loudly that his garments are, indeed, astonishing! No surprise there, their retirement is at stake. Seriously, are you being paid to shill for Tesla? Nobody is this dumb.


You bought a hardware device and you own that device?

This decoy notes scheme seems pretty unethical.


I wouldn't take claude research at face value. It found something odd, came up with a plausible sounding explanation and confidently presented it to OP. Doesn't mean it is true.


Sure, that goes without saying. That aside, if it is true, the point stands. The word “seems” already covered your point, fwiw.


Apart from model performance, what harness are people using to come close to Claude Code or Codex workflow styles with tool use, conversations, loops, remote control, etc.?


and more specifically - what harness is known to be the best fit for Qwen local models, and are there any evals/benchmarks for harness+model pairs?


I’ve noticed that when a developer cries foul over an Apple App Store rejection, it often seems to be a red flag that there is something fishy about that developer. Gruber, not to his credit, often does not give Apple the benefit of the doubt on these matters. imho he bears some responsibility if he feels duped.


...and I've noticed that's not always the case. What's the value of such a bland whitewashing comment?


Sure, glad to clarify. The value is to point out something that I’ve noticed a lot of people miss as conversations about App Store rejections tend to take a knee-jerk negative attitude toward Apple. Considering the opposite possibility would clear up a lot of false conceptions and raise the quality of discussions.
