I moved one of our daily workflows over to Kimi K3 on Fireworks. It replaces two sales assistant positions, and was about $50/day for 14 million tokens total (in/out). They surely …

Thank you for giving us this nuance.

Wow, this is refreshing DX compared to iterating all messages like we did back in '24.

While all these models are nondeterministic a feature bump is still necessary as the same input can have wildly different output on a new model. For API users being able to pin a m…

Great point on the playing with Linux growing up, it's second nature to me now. I am always feeling like I'm doing something wrong running bare metal based on modern advice, but it…

The problem is a lot of this glue is proprietary by design at the various cloud services. I realize there are open source and alternative abstractions for a lot of of the same serv…

I too, am bravely using Claude for more DevOps. I run all of my virtual machines on proxmox atop bare metal servers I own and I’m just blown away at how quickly Claude can optimize…

Agree. If you've ever spent serious time in the country with farmers, the level of ingenuity is impressive among many, and they benefit from it greatly. As the grandson of depressi…

Hasn't Opus 4.5 been famously consistent while 4.6 was floating all over the place?

I think this is more about which model you steer your coding harness to. You can also self-host a UI in front of multiple models, then you own the chat history.

Same, mostly. However today in particular Claude can't do front-end development with any competence. Never seen this before. I think the rumor is they are rolling out a new model a…

You can use Claude Code with API mode (not a sub)

You should definitely log in to Google Cloud Console and roll all the keys you see in there if you're unsure. I just did the same thing after I realized I had a lot of surface area…

My bloody stool started slow and took some time off but came back and I had a large polyp. Watch this very closely, but don't panic.

Blood in the stool, at age 41. Benign but a VERY large polyp so I have a followup soon. If you have an instinct to get tested, especially if you have any evidence, do it. My doc fo…

I've gotten sucked into 1950s/60s/70s Pan Am (the defacto U.S. flag carrier of the era) advertising videos and the concept is similar to AT&T: premium service, basically a monopoly…

Somehow I was recommended the /r/longlines subreddit, so I subscribed. I now get pretty much a daily picture of a Long Lines abandoned tower somewhere in the country with upvotes a…

Same here - 12y. I've learned so much and one day hope to contribute back something significant to the community but haven't found a footing just yet.

Upstate South Carolina as well

I've been doing it since 1998 in my bedroom with a dual T1 (and on to real DCs later). While I've had some outages for sure it makes me feel better I am not that divergent in uptim…

Not OP, but I use Codex for back-end, scripting, and SQL. Claude Code for most front-end. I have found that when one faces a challenge, the other often can punch through and solve …

For bare metal I’ve been using tier.net to get 192 GB RAM, 4TB NVME and 32 cores for $219/mo. Data centers all over the country and I get to locate under 10ms from my regional audi…

Note this affects TETRA which is not used in North America. Most US systems use P25 which is not mentioned in the article.

Thank you! This just saved me after closing laptop and losing a chat in VS Code. Cool feature and always a place where Clause Code UX was behind chat - being able to see history. "…

I too have noticed variability and it's impossible to know for sure but late one Friday or Saturday night (PST) it seemed to be brilliant, several iterations in a row. Some of my b…
