I mean yeah? I wasn’t counting in detail, it’s an estimate.

Previously you got 500 requests a month and then it’d start charging you, even on “auto.” So the current charging scheme seems to be encouraging auto use so they can use cheaper LLMs when they make sense (honestly a good thing).

I’ve primarily use claude-4-sonnet in cursor and was surprised to see a message telling me it would start costing extra above and beyond my subscription. This was prolly after 100 queries or so. However, switching to “auto” instead of a specific model continues to not cost anything and that still uses claude-4-sonnet when it thinks it needs to. Main difference I’ve noticed is it’s actually faster because it’ll sometimes hit cheaper/dumber APIs to address simple code changes.

It’s a nice toy that does improve my productivity quite a bit and the $20/month is the right price for me, but I have no loyalty and will drop them without delay if it becomes unusable. That hasn’t happened yet.

There’s a global decline in tourism?

I’ll make you feel better: here’s a server of mine that lives in a hot garage. Sorry for the freedom units but it peaks at about 55C.

While I largely agree, this admin is crossing many lines that have never been crossed for the benefit of the upper class. Like this gross violation of privacy exhibited here.

From the thumbnail I thought it was a charred corpse, was wondering what kind of cool sport I was missing out on…

I mean 13 million of us participated in the No Kings protest, they keep growing. Getting closer to the magic number.

9,900 of the last 10,000 years we haven’t been able to produce enough food for everyone. Industrialization changed that. I think we still prefer some plastic contamination over droves of people starving to death. But it’s gonna be hard to have both, in the short term at least.

We really need to establish the toxicity of this stuff because I can’t imagine abolishing plastic in the food pipeline anytime soon. It’s too embedded. However we can hopefully get rid of the most contaminating sources.

It’s pretty much inescapable and we need government regulation. I’m surprised the EU hasn’t led the way here yet, but they probably will be among the first.

Man it’d be great to go back to that time; writing my thoughts down on eight different books using an ink pot and a magnificent quill, no technology to distract me, scratching my buboes as I cycle between the books by candlelight. Fantastic.

Honestly this sucks balls for the US. One more credible news source made less accessible.

Great answer. I think it’s the easy answer to think “stone hard and solid therefore built better.” My house made out of “shitty” plaster and wood has stood for almost 80 years in an earthquake zone in southern CA. With proper periodic maintenance (which is relatively cheap compared to renovating a stone house) it could stand for another century.

Fires on the other hand might ruin all that though…

They all wanted to bomb Iran anyway

Impressive moth, the B-2 bomber of moths

The real problem is that the first 10 links after the AI slop are all ads. At least the slop (for now) is less ad-centric. I am 100% sure that will change soon.

Nah, that’s due to his shitty pillows

Classic Grostleton.

Now we’re gonna blame any shitty bug on vibe coding, even if it was just a crappy engineer

Did someone fall asleep on the keyboard when they came up with kjiji?
