To be fair, those are on Frontier, so it's roughly equivalent to Ryanair.

Vibe coding has made them a lot more common. Before, you'd need to put a lot more effort into making a website that worked like this, and it wasn't worth it for a random post. Now this person's entire website is posts like this, and I've seen many more in the past few months.

They aren't releasing it in China either.

Opus 4.8 has made huge jumps in being less sycophantic. I see it pushing back on ideas a lot, and that's very helpful when you're evaluating options.

> Part of the idea behind a moratorium is to allow time for impact analysis so those regulations can be written appropriately.

They couldn't do that in 20 years of having data centers?

Sure, put that in the law.

> Local municipalities are having to upgrade municipal infrastructure as a result of these projects

Then they could pass a law requiring the data centers to pay for these instead of banning them outright, should sort itself out no?

> It's pretty well documented that datacenters (esp the AI variety) are offloading grid expenses to customers as higher baseline costs.

I'm sure you can present this documentation, then.

They literally aren't! they literally say in this article that it's not there yet!!!

How is this a fair analogy? The NYT isn't pissing on your doormat. Making it harder to cancel is an annoyance, but it's not like they don't let you.

I'm sure the engineering teams of every company in the world is just "good enough engineers" and not, you know, regular devs who ship bugs at the same rate that has been now. And I'm sure your personal anecdote of "I saw a bug" shows that there's more bugs being shipped now.

I don't understand why people look at bugs and go "oh it must be AI". Did humans never write bugs? I've seen plenty of platforms where bugs like that were the norm, bad software engineering has always existed.

There is no evidence that per-token inference prices (which is what Uber is setting a cap on) is subsidized.

Buried lede:

> We have increased rate limits in Claude Code to accommodate the higher token usage of higher effort levels

> For starters, if I'm a "house builder" by trade

You're not a house builder, you're a widget maker who needs a house to live in. Auth is almost never your startup's core competency or offering. Spending one of your very valuable five engineers on the auth tarpit while you lose deals because SSO is hard could be life and death for you.

> Ashokan carvings are not historical documents attributed to the historical person of Buddha

Yeah, if you assert a document is not a document, sure, you can say whatever you'd like.

> Buddha has virtually no textual documents placed within 900 years of his death

First: this isn't true. There are plenty of Ashokan inscriptions from ~150 years after the Buddha's death, and they speak of an already-existing Buddhist orthodoxy.

Second: there's plenty of archeological evidence of both the Buddha and Muhammad; the lack of written documents has more to do with the cultures they were in at the time. You don't need to drag other religions down to engage with the evidence for the historical Jesus.

Not because your tastes are expensive, but because you'll want to do productive work well into that time frame.

You're the fifth person to assume me being against FIRE means you should burn all your money, which is kind of the problem with the mindset!

> that the only two options available are to spend without restraint or live miserably frugal

When did I say that? I have a 35% savings rate and still am able to spend happily. The point is that you don't need to aim to retire early. Set a target savings rate, spend the rest - enjoy your life instead of trying to maximize savings so you can retire early.

The point of FIRE isn't that you invest in your future. I think it's unreasonable to say the opposite of FIRE is to save nothing, when it is in fact saving at good rate while aiming to retire in your 60s. My point is that aiming to retire early - like 20 years early, when you're in you're 40s and still eager to work - is likely to make your life miserable if you're the kind of person who actually enjoys work and can commit to goals like FIRE. That's what I've seen in communities I know where people FIRE. Hell, I know many people in my parents' generation who retired in their 60s and still want to work, and end up not dipping into their savings at all.

I'm sure there's tons of people who love being on a FIRE path. It's a lovely goal with self-reinforcing metrics that is easily gamified. And I bet your first year off work also feels great, which is why I encourage everyone to take a sabbatical every 10 or so years.

> It isn't about saving up for a permanent vacation. It shouldn't even be conceptualized as a "vacation".

"Permanent vacation" is permanent time off work, not a holiday. If you're continuing doing what you're doing, why quit? Why not just keep working and save 25% of your income instead of being frugal, saving 40-50% and retiring early to stay frugal? If you're the kind of person who is hard working enough to make good money, you're not going to enjoy retirement and living a "mundane" life - you might as well keep working on something you're passionate about and make money off it.

The only reason to FIRE is if your life's grand ambition somehow cannot be monetized at all, which in the current day is harder and harder to conceive.

> After my last job in tech I took about a half a year off before realizing I also felt guilty about not working, and took a job I wanted

Well, yeah, that's kind of the problem. If you're the kind of person who can FIRE, you're not the kind of person who'll be happy on permanent vacation at the age of 40. It's nice to have that option, but many people who get into FIRE commit themselves to a lifetime of slight misery instead of learning to be okay with living life when they can. I had these struggles too - I cut corners I didn't need to, and it took me a long time to internalize that I'd rather enjoy my life in my 20s than save money to do nothing in my 40s.

E: I'm editing to say this because like four different people have issued variations of the same response: the alternative to FIRE is *not* not saving! It's saving for your future while not aiming to retire early. Set a good target savings rate that will help you comfortably retire in your 60s, and spend the rest on things you care about. Let go of the mindset that any spending is taking years off your retirement.

The state of HN truly has fallen if people are questioning Maggie Appleton's credentials. Besides, she's working on GitHub Next, not the core product. Sheesh.

You should factor in the time/stress/wear costs but yes, I've found driving to be significantly cheaper than even the DC Metro most days.

The DC rollout is mired in regulatory red tape and is most likely dead until the mayoral election goes through, and if the new mayor is anti-Waymo unlikely to go through in the near future.

I feel like this is a much better link for this: https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog/project-migrated-to-codebe...

Freudian slip?

> I give it five years before the GH CLI is the only way to interact with GitHub repos.

I'll take that bet. How much are you willing to put on it?
