arcanemachiner··on How I Fight AI Brain Fry
You get used to it. Is it better than than waiting 54s? For me, yes, it's better to juggle a few sessions than stare at the wall while I wait.

Better to have my concentration split up among multiple tasks than to have it be completely broken while waiting for one of my agents to finish.

arcanemachiner··on RAM Altman: Linux Script Emails Sam Altman Daily How Much Unused RAM in Your PC
That is correct, uBO Lite is A Chrome-only thing since they finally neutered uBO recently.
arcanemachiner··on Goldman Sachs Is Pulling Claude Code from Its Bankers and Traders
By MD, you surely mean Medicinae Doctor, a.k.a Doctor of Medicine, right?

If it's some other corpo-acronym, I would hope you would define the term before unleashing it on us normies.

arcanemachiner··on Goodbye Claude, Hello Pi
I can't believe you didn't pick up on the sarcasm in the GP's comment...

> At this point, you probably don't need either.

There's only so much stuff I have the patience to tell it in a session before I write it down somewhere.

On a long enough timeline, all closed-source software turns into spyware.
arcanemachiner··on I wish tech companies knew more about me
Digitally Imported... Now there's a throwback.
arcanemachiner··on Claude Code sends your email address to websites
Ha, what an amateur move. As if we don't all know that the nondeterminism of LLMs ensures that these kind of slip-ups are inevitable.

Welcome to our new vibe-coded hellscape. I assume it will get worse before it gets better (if it ever does).
arcanemachiner··on Vibe Coding Keypad
Ha, pretty much my exact experience. No ring just, just considered some remappable Bluetooth keyboard and a nearby mic. Decent idea though, might steal that one.
arcanemachiner··on Kimi K3.1 Pro model weights are out
Too late to edit my previous comment: I meant an uncensored provider.
arcanemachiner··on Kimi K3.1 Pro model weights are out
Side question: Can you (or anyone reading this) recommend a decent source for an LLM provider?

I'll admit that I'm lazy and haven't looked yet... I'm just wondering if you have any recommendations.

arcanemachiner··on The Little Book of Generative AI Foundations: An Intuitive Mathematical Primer
I love how that site offers a phone-formatted PDF as an option. How thoughtful!
arcanemachiner··on Safari introduces Adaptive Dark Mode in 27.3
"Authored"? It just applies a set of rules to the existing stylesheet. It's not like they're customizing it for different websites.
arcanemachiner··on Safari introduces Adaptive Dark Mode in 27.3
There's a mode like this in an Android Chrome fork called Cromite that works surprisingly well. Most of the other options do suck though.
arcanemachiner··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
So your idiot brother doesn't connect your spy TV to the WiFi when he comes to visit, instead of using the goddamn Chromecast that is already plugged into it. >:(
arcanemachiner··on AI delivers 'zero financial payoff' to most companies, Apollo economist says
Jealous. I'm getting nerd sniped by silly bullshit more often than ever before thanks to AI.
arcanemachiner··on ChatGPT and Codex usage limits merging
Ah, good point.
arcanemachiner··on ChatGPT and Codex usage limits merging
I can't blame them, I'm a huge fan of Opus 5.5 too.
arcanemachiner··on ChatGPT and Codex usage limits merging
They give (gave?) out resets like candy, I get the impression they pride themselves on how much compute they can give away.
arcanemachiner··on ChatGPT and Codex usage limits merging
Nice, you helped patch the loophole faster.
arcanemachiner··on ChatGPT and Codex usage limits merging
Agreed, ChatGPT is better than Claude chat. Can Claude chat even search the web?
arcanemachiner··on ChatGPT and Codex usage limits merging
I modded my status line to show my remaining 5-hour and weekly limits, and when they reset. It's all available in the request data that comes back with every message.

I don't use Claude chat, but this is a great way to ensure my usage doesn't disappear on me.

Oh nice. How many tokens do I get with a Plus subscription per 5-hour quota, or per week? Does it change over time?
arcanemachiner··on Anthropic blocks users for anything touching training larger models
Not familiar with scare quotes, I take it?

And yes, I am taking full advantage of the scammy subscription scam, because it's the best value by far until the inevitable rugpull. Guess I'm not as smart as you and your "grownup" setup though.

arcanemachiner··on Anthropic blocks users for anything touching training larger models
Bad decisions compound over time, so I want my model making as few of them as possible. Opus 5.5 is the current GOAT, and it's fairly affordable on a subscription. (I wish it was cheaper, but nothing else delivers comparable results for my price/time investment.)
arcanemachiner··on Anthropic blocks users for anything touching training larger models
You mean 3.1 Pro now, I assume? K3 is nice, but more expensive than an Claude subscription on a token-for-token basis (until the US frontier rugpull eventually comes), and not as good for my needs unless I'm trying to do "naughty" things, like reverse engineering.
arcanemachiner··on Anthropic blocks users for anything touching training larger models
There is nothing open-weight that even comes close IMO. The only half-decent model that 99% of people can actually dream of running locally is Qwen 3.8 27B.

I think Kimi K3.1 steals the crown from K3, no?
