<p>We have a subscription at work. They have a CLI agent that works pretty well. Lately I mostly use it with grok, which is actually quite a capable model.</p>

<p>No. Japan certainly doesn’t. If you want to renew your visa you go apply at the local immigration department and they mail you your renewal notice a month or two later. No need to leave the country at all.</p>

<p>Agree. Another consideration is that input token costs are effectively quadratic with the number of conversation turns. The minute you get into a long conversation you can see the costs shoot up.<p>You can get far more gas out of even a $20 plan of you’re careful to break things up into relatively small discrete steps, clear context regularly and give the model plenty of information to work with.<p>My workflow for bigger features is to write out a plan document and then proceed in smaller implementation steps, reviewing as I go. If I find something odd, I ask the agent why and often that leads to discovering a new dimension to the problem, which in turn is an opportunity to adjust the approach.</p>

<p>I have T1 diabetes and wear a GCM so have a continuous view of my blood sugar levels. I also go to the gym and exercise otherwise.<p>My experience is somewhat different. Even walking is more effective than chess presses or arm exercises for immediately reducing blood sugar.<p>After an hour or so of more intense aerobic exercise I find it basically impossible to avoid a hypo (low blood sugar).<p>Simplistically if the effect of exercise on blood glucose is roughly proportional to Volume of muscle engaged x Length of time engaged, things like running should be very effective. The bulk of your muscle is in your lower body and you’re continuously engaging it.<p>I suspect any decently intense exercise can have a moderate lowering effect on blood sugar levels after the immediate drop seen when you’re exercising, but the effective isn’t huge.</p>

<p>I think the government should make the new 0% tax rate optional. Stores can either continue to collect 8% or drop the rate to 0%.<p>I think that might help motivate these companies to move things a long a lot quicker. They might even find it doesn’t take 1 year after all.</p>

<p>Japan giving a security guarantee to Taiwan would be major news!<p>In reality no such thing happened and one YouTube video of a handful of protestors doesn’t make it so.<p>What she did say is that a Chinese attack on Taiwan _could_ clearly become an existential threat to Japan. Note that key word _could_<p>Which… of course it could!<p>Japan hosts multiple US military bases. If it developed into an armed conflict between the US and China then it’s exceedingly likely that Japan would be attacked. Think Chinese missiles aimed
At Yokosuka, just south of Tokyo.<p>Not only that but Japan and China have multiple territorial disputes. It’s not hard to imagine China deciding to go all in and settle those as well.</p>

<p>If this was just about semiconductors then this would be a reasonable take but I doubt semi-conductors are anything more than a minor footnote in China’s strategic calculus vis-a-vis Taiwan.<p>Reunification with Taiwan has been a major policy goal of the CCP since the civil war and is one of Xi’s explicit policy goals. He just reaffirmed this commitment as part of his New Year’s speech.<p>Historically China has lacked force projection capability. However it has had a multi-decade modernisation and military build-up which has drastically changed this situation.<p>Further we’ve seen significant tightening of CCP control over society and in particular the military in Xi’s term.<p>A straight forward analysis of these events, in line with Xi’s public statements and past Chinese actions,
is that the ground work is being laid for encirclement of Taiwan followed by China taking over, by force if necessary.</p>
