Does anyone ever get their stuff to actually work. Like actually load?

Can't speak for browser demos, but I just got the ternary model working on my M5 generating images. The 1 bit didn't work, as it has a known bug with XCode 24.5 and I wasn't in the mood for installing 24.4 alongside.

Here's a generation in your honor: https://peterc.org/img/johndoe.png

The online demos require WebGPU so Firefox on mobilr and privacy enhanced browsers will break. WebGPU support on Linux and other open source systems is also trash, you can force it to work in Chrome but it won't be happy.

Could you share a bit about what you’re working on or what type of projects require that much usage? Is it hobby, production, revenue generating?

A mix. I have hobby projects that churn through that much when I don't need the tokens for others things. I also have projects for clients that easily consumes those levels. As well as a stealth-ish potential startup. Currently I'm at 4 different subscriptions + more than I'd like in spend via OpenRouter...

What multiplies it very quickly is when you start feeding them with test suites and "Ralph loops" that run until the test suites pass, or complex chains with lots of sub-agents being triggered.

If you're sitting there watching everything, it will be hard to burn all that much even if you're running multiple things in paralle.

I'm skeptical of letting agents run free like this. Even Opus makes decisions I don't always agree with. And I quickly lose my mental model of how the code is evolving.

I get more enjoyment and better results when the coding process is me and the agent working through a plan, at each step sparring over what to do next and how. Then I also catch the bad decisions before they manifest in the code.

I know this is a cynical approach, but I imagine most security flaws in Microsoft products are somewhat intentional. Either by purposefully putting them there or by willingly ignoring them.

It’s widely known how much Microsoft cooperates with three letter agencies. I think they are in a bind on how to act in these situations. They don’t want to acknowledge or fix the 0-day vulnerabilities because they don’t know if those are in use via state sponsored operations. Either they deal with customer fallout or they deal with the grief from their agency liaisons that they interrupted a multi-year operation by fixing the 0-day.

Vulnerability researchers really should avoid reporting to Microsoft and just sell them instead.

MCP is dead. AI bubble. Windows is dead. Linux is dead.

The only thing worse than the people saying it are the people that repeat it.

At some point people are dead. Really.

The curated list stays on the home page way too long.

> This article is very well written and you can enjoy it regardless you agree or not.

Excellent! Whether it was a human or an autonomous agent that wrote it; mission accomplished.

Starship is 100% the wrong design. Way too many complications with Starship. So much can go wrong.

LOR is the right approach.

This is a whole post about justifying their behavior.

I absolutely loathe calls, but I can also be a grown up and just do what needs to be done sometimes.

Really crazy they openly talk about "fungible" in general. It shouldn't even be a thing. Also, the following line from the article is key, because that is what AWS should be concerned about. Unfortunately, due to the layoffs, they will get many applicants. However, hiring I'm sure is so broken at AWS that they won't really hire anyone. Plus, if they already are downsizing due to AI, then it's not like they will be on a hiring spree.

> It also assumes that there is a limitless supply of people with the required skills, and a willingness to work for Amazon.

I think one major concern here is that "apparently" AWS is in such good place they don't have to worry about anything. People, their reputation, their employees, future stability, growth. Nothing is of worry. They have reached the IBM status where everything is awesome. However, executives are usually paid precisely to worry about these things. Though, we've seen executives are pretty stupid these days. So, I guess it's clear AWS is clearly not the exception.

China actually took COVID extremely seriously from the start. They were snatching people from the streets and killing them. The China crematoriums were running non-stop.

It was the US Administration and the Republicans that were the dipshits and turned a health situation into politics.

That was months after the virus was already spreading. China oscillated from pretending it didn't exist in the critical outbreak period (2019), to some of the most extreme lockdowns (early 2020).

Maaan, flashback to how fucking thrilling that time was when there were reports of single digit cases slowly hitting closer home, rapidly building up to a "Holy shit! This is going to be a historic crisis!" when dead bodies started pilling up in front of Italian hospitals. No drug could ever tingle my dopamine receptors like the news ramp up of COVID19 did. What a collective experience. In a parallel universe it's been the event to unite humanity, instead of dividing families.

> They were snatching people from the streets and killing them.

Can you give more info on this? Tried googling it but couldn't find much. I remember there were very strict quarantines, but don't remember reading anything about "killing" people snatched from the street.
