Just buy 95% creatine monohydrate. This is the most common formulation, but others do exist.

Creatine is $10 at Walmart, I don't think they are paying for astroturfing. It's a chemical like salt.

ZDR is also on by default and deepseek is not ZDR.

I have a similar experience, however if you spent $5 at these rates you may have an issue with caching in your client.

I agree with this sentiment but the reasoned anecdotes do not agree. I imagine the flagship models have modalities/usages that we hn-ers don't imagine easily.

Have you read the MAKER/MDAP paper? 1 million sequential tasks.

As you practice it will be apparent, you simply keep working on the application architecture yourself.

Do you have this on a shareable place / forge? I have a farm animal spelling game and want to extend my library and build more ideas.

To be fair, you're cherry picking traffic fatality data. It's topical now but it's not common.

It was my intent but it's also fine to be more direct.

Politely, no.

- I wrote an extension in Pi to warm my cache with a heartbeat.

- I wrote another to block submission after the cache expired (heartbeats disabled or run out)

- I wrote a third to hard limit my context window.

- I wrote a fourth to handle cache control placement before forking context for fan out.

- my initial prompt was 1000 tokens, improving cache efficiency.

Oh no, that's the same on the $200 tier, don't worry. You never talk to a human.

He could be expressing the generational frustration of being black in America. When things are so segregated you feel you are looking across at a different country landing on the moon, you might write such a poem.

This is wrong, Claude is the worst of the best: codex, pi, opencode, droid/factory, there are many more others can vouch for.

You were wrong at percentage. The question is what count would want this.

I had the same but I am thinking of updating to see if I can optimize my terminal a bit. Roboto has font weights, and probably has a better emoji pack, although that's just a guess -- maybe google doesn't tack on emojis by default.

Sometimes I see a silver lining to this behavior but it comes down to personal taste. A number of people likely appreciate that nice buffer between them and Kihei.

Do you mean the distribution of representable numbers as floats or do you mean real numbers? I always assumed infinity was stored between 0-1 because you can 1/x everything. But I have never had enough free opportunity time for maths.
