<p>Diet and exercise have not caused any of that ever.<p>It sounds more like malnutrition and starvation.<p>I'll concede it may still be better than being fat, though.</p>

<p>Don't get me wrong. I'm here because I'm interested as well.<p>- Wall clock time is three months(?)<p>- Cost $300 possibly shared by other projects(Does CC provide credits or a token measure?)<p>- How much of your own time was spent interacting with Claude and/or thinking in parallel to his work?<p>- Did the service go down during those three months(including subpar service by a substitute "flash" model)?</p>

<p>Literally everything could be derived automatically by the government in current year so filing taxes feels like entrapment, but I like that idea.<p>They not only do that —saving you so many worries— but then you get to be medieval about it and say: no, I challenge the tax authority to a duel.</p>

<p>The post probably should have been show HN too being posted by the author himself. I don't know all of the rules but perhaps it would be better for engagement if you reposted the project for him.<p>I was looking for a timeline given the title. Oldest path seems to be 3 months ago so $300 and 3 months? That could buy you a second-hand graphics card to run the current batch of local models.</p>

<p>I wrote an internal tool UI in TCL/TK.<p>Unfortunately, it isn't getting much use anymore because of changes in architecture, but it was easy enough and the control I used for logs was much better than the c# forms stuff it replaced that would pin the CPU 100% and OOM after a few thousand lines.<p>If I read it today, it makes as much sense as Mayan pictographs, though.</p>

<p>Almost as if currency should be backed by a rare commodity that requires the same stuff that causes inflation to increase supply.<p>If printing value-free money wasn't how we are ruled, we could even come up with a diversified scheme where an alchemist could discover a way of turning silicon into gold and it wouldn’t affect the economy much.</p>

<p>I don't think so.<p>We have a good idea of when and where the crops were domesticated.<p>10kya on was a time of climate change. It is plausible that they were just so blessed in terms of food that they could waste their time creating new problems for themselves.<p>> Grg in all his evil has amassed 8000 wild wheat berries but I myself have only gathered 400. Is this fair? How about everyone provides 100 berries to the one that goes to beat him in the head for the common good?</p>

<p>I would be faster than Claude or Gemma if I did it.<p>That's a big if though and the blank page syndrome was already getting worse long before AI.<p>With age, it becomes easier and easier to get angry at someone or something until they work as expected than it is to actually do it.<p>I think this is why we've been seeing the genius coders from two generations ago embracing vibe coding even before it was cool or any good.</p>

<p>IIRC UTF-8 proposal used to go to 6 bytes as they already felt that not having part of the code point in the first byte was an issue somehow.<p>I think at least 7 should be allowed. 42 bits could contain all sorts of information.<p>"UTF-8000" is still ANSI-safe and although it loses some of the properties such as a header code only appearing once in a byte sequence, it is perfectly viable to encode arbitrarily sized unsigned integers.</p>
