I’m not sure that is true. More wealth is only useful if you can do something with it. If I buy my home for 300k and buy taxes on 300k, then that’s the level my income is calibrated for. If the value of my home rises to 900k with a similar increase in taxes, my tax burden increased by 3, but I still have the same amount of money and no way to get it out other than selling the house.

If you need thst money back at some point it makes much more sense to tax the sale or purchase of the property because nobody living there is affected until that sale actually happens.

Is it actually solving anything though? It always seems to get stuck with the semi half sticking out.

Only after Anthropic rebuilds Claude in Rust.

Maybe not one that reported it, but the ‘we scan every message you sent into this for disallowed speech’ part is what gives me pause.

They shouldn’t be in a position to report it at all.

There’s no point in responding to people that have already judged and found wanting. I have better things to do with my time.

Though sometimes I still get pulled in, like now.

The question is if that has gotten better over time? Because age doesn’t really change all that much in my experience.

As in, it’s fine to marry if the child is pregnant, or the opposite?

Call me misguided, but I’m not sure adult life experience helps a lot with raising kids. It just means you grow out of touch.

I mean, most of the world has settled on 18 for this.

Yeah, I also question the distinction between a 17 year old marrying a 50 year old and an 18 year old marrying a 50 year old. Does your judgement suddenly magically get better after you turn 18?

I can’t say what will happen to you, but yes, that has been my experience. It is better to wait for your normal full limit to return, because if you use a banked reset you get only 1/5th of the tokens but you still have to wait the full week afterwards for it to reset. 20% would be fine if it didn’t also reset the date your normal reset fires.

Germany hasn’t historically been nice about leaving Polish oil to the Polish when they decide they need it though?

This is cool, but like every website that tries to manipulate scrolling I eventually got too tired of that shit.

Tokens used / percentage change is a pretty obvious metric. They give you both, but they don’t do the math for you.

So Anthropic releases the best model since sliced bread, and in response OpenAI cuts their usage limits in half after releasing an absolutely atrocious sol-6 version? They seem to have lost the plot entirely.

GLM has actual usage indicated on their website. From what I can see it is accurate.

I think I had the opposite as I got older. I didn’t really like the bigger parties after something like high school, but now that I’m middle aged I like the idea of uncomplicated social interactions with strangers.

I think it would be so nice if people just took what I said at face value sometimes… if I invite you over it’s because I want you in my house, not because I secretly want to visit yours.

It’s only nearly unlimited if you haven’t just used a banked reset. After a banked reset your weekly usage gets cut by about 80% (not the week you need to wait to get your normal limits back though). ChatGPT has given me a really good reason to cancel.
