    "And 50% of the time they work 50% of the time." I think this is still an incredible outcome given how many dice rolls you can take in parallel with multiple claude/o3/gemini attem…

    A lot of people are saying 12gb is too small to do anything interesting with. What's the most useful thing people __have__ gotten to work?
