But selective subsidising still doesn't really help that. Subsidise household rooftop solar, home batteries, EVs and a whole host of other ways that directly benefit the more avera…

I fully understand why power generation is subsidised - however honesty I feel if the govt is subsidising it, they should get a cut of the profits too. I also believe in a free mar…

Honestly out of all the crazy things this chap has done, limiting "birthright tourism" really doesn't seem bad.

It's not the readme that gets me. It's the damn "chasing loc" KPI in the industry that continuously drives Claude to spout entire essays of docstrings and comments that make code u…

I find agents are definitely useful as a blind audit/adversarial attack on a set of changes. A more comprehensive prompt, but in essence "go come up with a set of changes you'd mak…

Nitpicking - I'd argue the title is spot on! It's a new source of energy. Not a new type . But yeah, I clicked expecting a research article. Not a deep hole.

I'm genuinely curious how you can do this - with limited context tokens, I find the output is often inconsistent with the project, or recreates functionality it missed, if I forget…

Publishers don't care if rare books get shredded?

I personally find react overly engineered for my projects - vuejs (+quasar on top) is just great. Granted a little boring perhaps, but it just works, behaves as you'd expect, and d…

I'd say you have to have a really solid/creative (ingenious?) plan beyond "just nationalise it and she'll be right" - otherwise yeah it'll just be heavy and a drain on the economy.…

Varta has moved (outsourced?) pretty much all consumer batteries we get in Australia to China.

Wait this is new? Large context models figure out the architecture of the request. Miss sized models plan out each requirement, and smaller models implement a tightly detailed task…

But can it, really? It takes a huge amount of time, resources, and knowledge to train a highly capable model. It also takes a huge amount of the same to run them. Is it ever going …

$200/mo for 20x Max is great value - but it's not sustainable and won't last forever. Microsoft gave up. Anthropic will too. I use roughly $10k/mo - at that price it's absolutely n…

I mean Claude IS replacing people. Even in Australia - Claude + postgres mcp is replacing data/bi people in even small and medium businesses.

Blimey there is always a new thing to learn/use/know with AI - keeping up is getting tiring.

Is there a viable alternative to the sync clients - pc/android with cloud/ghost files etc?

I wish I never thought of it. Just had a recent Samsung TV update, and now it has to sign in EVERY TIME it turns on. I'm considering how to frame it as a warranty job.

My current approach which I've been testing on two MVPs with what I would call 'moderate success' (but hey, actual success!) 3 tier, philosophy-spec-design. Increasing detail. Desi…

I had to do the same. I expect everything will go token pricing, and at that point a LOT of small/mid businesses will drastically change how they use code. I've swapped to the 20x …

I have spent a SOLID 3 full days 8h/day (plus long running tasks overnight) thrashing out a random idea for a Web application using purely Opus (mostly Max, sometimes ultracode ver…

Unless the token estimates I get from using Claude are wayyy out, I burn through 5m+ tokens/day, and I'm not doing a lot of time. 500k tokens in a 24h period for $5k of hardware se…

Hey I mean we've been using a fairly basic mssql box for years in a organisation of about 300 and it humms along nicely - granted we have 2 'materialised' aggregate tables/views (d…

Everyone knows a philosophy comes before a spec. Claude has to write your applications philosophy first, then you write your spec. But a philosophy is crap without a values stateme…

I'm really annoyed at github for only allowing export of a single month of usage. There were a lot of people (here included) that were absolutely abusing github - getting Opus to g…
