I haven't used zed specifically, but were you using your own API key for Claude? If so, you were probably running into the Anthropic API rate limits [1]. You can either a) deposit more funds to move your way up the tier list, or instead access Claude via something like OpenRouter, which will give you much higher limits.

I’m not positive, but I think if you do

/context this_will_be_my_prompt

it will do a few requests on its own to decide what you need in context, add those files, and return back to you so you can continue on.

Is there any sort of dynamic range compression available with Apple Podcasts? I've looked around, but can't seem to find anything. I find it especially necessary when listening in the car, so I've been using Overcast...

This is the point - Apple doesn't have that information either. From the article, in the "How Private Relay works" section:

> when you browse the web in Safari, no single party — not even Apple — can see both who you are and what sites you're visiting.

Somewhat OT - but from their FAQ they say they're targeting a price of $200M for the Overture. I'm certainly no expert, but this feels to some extent a bargain given the capability. Capacity 55-75 passengers. A few data points for comparison (all of these approximate of course, with multiple variants available of each):

Airbus A220 - $90M

Airbus A320neo - $110M

Boeing 787 - $140M

Boeing 777 - $320M

Airbus A350 - $325M

Gulfstream G700 - $75M

All of these can of course carry more passengers (except the Gulfstream), but assuming it's somewhat efficient from a fuel perspective, and assuming an airline could sell ~60 business class seats on each leg, I'm optimistic for them - cutting your trip time in half is certainly something to brag about.

For reference, as an example, a British Airways 787-9 used for transatlantic routes seats 8 first, 42 business, 39 premium economy, and 127 economy.

Leveraged index funds generally work as expected on an intraday basis - but they're not intended for longer term holds. You can of course try it, but things will not turn out as you'd hope. Here's an article describing what happens:

FYI, 1Password doesn’t force you to use their cloud service. Even if you subscribe (as opposed to standalone), you still don’t have to actually use it. I switched from an older standalone version to the current subscription version, but I’m not using their cloud service to sync my vault.

Purely out of curiosity - and you may not be able to, or may not want to answer - but how does a company like Stripe structure this sort of business? Are you making loans right out of your working capital, or do you have separate debt obligations of your own to cover these, or something else? I would imagine this sort of thing is regulated somehow, but I don’t really know... would love to hear whatever you can share!

Not sure why you’re being downvoted so hard - while I think your list of requirements perhaps aren’t the right ones, I like the idea in general. Have a process where I can make assurances of some form that we’re good guys, and treat me accordingly.

Have they said how traffic will be routed? If I'm in, say, the US, and I'm connecting to a web site in Australia, would the satellite I'm connected to send my traffic to a terrestrial router near me, and let it traverse from there via regular ground links to Australia? Or would my traffic travel via satellite to a terrestrial router near the destination?

From Electrek [1]: A Tesla spokesperson has reportedly commented on Nikkei’s report:

> “We will of course continue to make new investments in Gigafactory 1, as needed,”

Update: In a comment to Electrek, Tesla exapnded:

> “We will of course continue to make new investments in Gigafactory 1, as needed. However, we think there is far more output to be gained from improving existing production equipment than was previously estimated.”

Well, while I appreciate you coming here to clarify, and waiving charges for 2019 sounds nice, there’s nothing in that post that says those charges won’t come into effect for the long term.

I guess I personally would want more color on that whole post-2019 egress situation before committing to using the service. That’s just me, though!
