"aggressively optimistic timelines is also what makes it feasible to even attempt these things"

yawn, people keep making this excuse on behalf of the South African investor with poor technical expertise.

I might be misunderstanding something.

He uses $70 for remaining credit and says that's a good thing because it rolls over

But spending $70 on an API (he says he still prefers Opus) is far less cost effective than a Max plan on Anthropic.

The article seems to be nudging us to setup OpenRouter but the premise isn't fully true. A bit of diversity is excellent, but the costs are going to (largely) prohibit it in reality?

Yeah. I'm more concerned about the welfare needed to support millions of low-skill people in high living cost areas, in the age of AI. Those people are being sold dead dreams for the benefit of a handful of billionaires.

I assume this is highly staged as a set routine?

No less impressive, but is it likely each robot autonomously learned a routine? Or just got programmed for a very exact act?

I often ask Claude to update Claude.md and skills..... and sometimes I'll just do that in a new window while my main window is busy and I have time.

Wonder if this is close to triggering a warning? I only ever run in the same codebase, so maybe ok?

"Claude can’t read or edit anything you don’t give it explicit access to"

How confident are we that this is a strict measure?

I personally have zero confidence in Claude rulesets and settings as a way to fence it in. I've seen Claude decide desperately for itself what to access once it has context bloat? It can tend to ignore rules?

Unless there is a OS level restriction they are adhering to?

New comment by slimebot80 in "iCloud Photos Downloader"

slimebot80 — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 01:13:38 +0000

iCloud Photos.app seems to not be able to show some photos

But Photometor.app (owned by Apple) can...

So that's a little annoying... I wish I had more visibility on photos not showing up in Photos.app, and what it is that stops it showing them

These types of actions from China pre-dates that, even if there are similarities.

The blog post and homepage do a terrible job describing the product?

Wasn't Crypto recently revealed to be used by FBI (or similar) to track major criminals? They don't broadcast it, since they want people to continue thinking it's anonymous.

You don't hear about it much, for some reason.

slimebot80 — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 23:47:51 +0000

Why wait? Fix things now.

I brought a Pro Max last year, after owning a perfectly fine 13 mini for years, and just my luck the latest iOS seems to make everything worse.

Face detection. Navigating photos. Unresponsive Apps. Confusing as f*ck UI.

No idea why I spent so much money on a Pro phone, should of stuck with the 13 mini and refused to upgrade the OS.
