Wasting turns? That is silly, use a better harness. Also token usage can mitigated by incremental discovery instead of stuck 5k+ worth of tokens in the AGENT/Claude md file.

Historical facts would disagree vehemently with you.

Lest us not pretend that the thropic in Anthropic isn't meant to elicit the feeling that they are somehow charitable.

Any major differentiators between this and Phoenix? I have been getting more into Elixir lately coming from Laravel and React projects. Been having a blast.

My grammy had a curated bathroom library. Usually those "1000 Odd Facts" type of books that you could pickup and flip through.

Any steak can be delicious with a butter bath and then hit it with that A1 :).

LOL, seems your only issue is when someone goes against you politically. You allow so much anti-American propaganda on this site, and me calling out capitalistic tendencies is where you want to draw the line?

Do you not think that YC culture, startup culture, is not intertwined with the economy? I could stop, but is that the type of community you want to cultivate?

My contact information is in my bio if you want to seriously talk about this topic, I would be more than happy to get on a call with you. I feel you are being more than disingenuous with your application of the "rules".

I think they call that inflation :).

I think you are looking at it incorrectly. No business is buying individual accounts, because if they do, they open themselves up to considerable risk.

The $200 plans are priced so that the power-users use them and then advocate about how great the product is. If you're buying a $200 plan, you're not doing it because of the price point but rather because of the amount of work it is doing for you.

Pay respect to Aaron Swartz, and go download whatever you need. I hear Anna's got an archive, or there is some Z Lib somewhere. If buying isn't ownership, downloading isn't stealing.

This, plus there is research that suggests dark mode does not help with retention of information.[1] I have started to slowly transition back to light mode for most of my work applications. (Email, Coding, etc.)

Dark mode feels correct, but it is hostile. Now blue light on the other hand... you should get filters for your monitor/glasses.

Awwwe, cmon. You are thinking about the problem space incorrectly. This is an opportunity to create a unicorn company that develops the first AI tongue.

I think this is where leveraging classifier models will become important. The frontier LLM models do "everything", while we've known for a while that to truly scale this we will need to distill models into their individual functions. I don't see this as necessarily a bad thing and hope more is done in this space. Very promising.
