It could be a pre-sales site to estimate demand.

Colocating itself, though isn't new at all. Lots of different ways to host, including servers, mac minis, laptops are conceivable too because they share the same kinds of parts that mac minis might have.

It's important to remember humans have shipped slop too, and code that isn't clean.

When the training is across code with varying styles, it is going to take effort to get this technology performing in a standardized way, especially when what's possible changes every 3 months.

There can be outliers, maybe not as frequent :)

Thanks for the update,

Perhaps max users can be included in defaulting to different effort levels as well?

Certain phrases invoke an over-response trying to course correct which makes it worse because it's inclined to double down on the wrong path it's already on.

Sometimes you can still learn from a story.

Humans are about making mistakes and learning from them, not hiding behind the disease of perfectionism.

If there's something the author needs to say, I'm sure they are capable of using their words.

The other side that could have happened so easily is so much silence that there was no book.

Creating a new capability is like making a new flashlight.

Maybe the new light can see wider, or further and you see something you didn’t before that was possible.

You can synergizr the looksmaxing while cooking if you like :)

I wonder if there's a way to bring some of what Pi Coding Agent has to claude code itself.

It seems that installing claude code directly from npm shields from some of the current issues.

Efficient token use will be the new code/vim golf.

Whether it's human token use, or future OpenClaws

Inefficient token use will have to tighten up.

There are services which will remove all but the text when browsing and make it greatly lighter.

20+ mb is the weight of all the javascript javascripting, ultimately to arrange and display an html page.

Appreciate the clarification, I would clarify to say the origin story of Ad blockers are ads, and the underlying behaviours may not capture everything that fingerprinting may do where people don't advertise.

Ublock is great, but I am finding fingerprinting that gets past it and that's what I'm referring to.

Definitely have to use each model for your use case personally, many models can train to perform better on these tests but that might not transfer to your use case.

Go try it with fingerprint.com. Even post-sanitization, pi-hole, you name it, it will be surprising.

Ad blockers focus on ads, not fingerprinting.
