Pi can utilize Claude or GPT subscriptions and they work wonderfully. You can have both subscriptions logged in and write your own tools to route to the model that works best in every scenario. I have access to both pro level subscriptions for work and a large credit count for api calls for Claude. I use all 3 with JEV as my router with a local model for context management and compaction. my token usage has gone down to a point where I rarely even use api calls. I would recommend oh-mi-pi for anyone who wants to get started with using an open source harness as it has very good memory and context management tools that ship with it and are extremely easy to set up.

The staggering losses anthropic is facing are mostly due to their valuation increasing to just shy of 1T at the beginning of this year. That valuation increase caused the value of what they owe on future stock to triple which is shown as a massive loss on paper but doesn’t represent actual cash leaving their hands. The rules are being rewritten by frontier companies whose revenue growth and proposed spending are outpacing any thing we have seen in the past. Anthropic has committed to spending over 500B over the next 10 years on cloud infrastructure which might be what you are quoting but many project their revenue growth to outpace the 50B a year in spending so that may not even equate to any loss but will certainly be less than 50B/yr. The whole thing is bonkers but and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the breathtaking numbers on their balance sheet.

“Types.c” is dangerous code to bring to every project.

f32/64 makes assumptions about the platform.

Worse yet, the macros at the bottom are all functionally incorrect. Macros like MIN/MAX need to be contained in parentheses to avoid precedence errors.

For example, we take `Min(x,y)` from the code. Consider what happens if I write `ans = 2 * Min(3,4)` because of the way Min is defined that will expand to `ans = 2 * 3 < 4 ? 3 : 4` and while you may expect ans to be 3 it will infact resolve to 4.

Subtle bugs like these can creep into code and cause really hard to debug errors.

Finally, while u32 is a little faster to type than `uint33_t` it makes the project harder to read forcing the reader to learn the author’s personal c dialect. While it is a stylistic choice, I can’t see why anyone would want to sacrifice code highlighting and expressiveness for slightly less verbosity

This comment literally forced coffee through my nasal passageway as laughter erupted from my mouth.

Thank you.

I’m confused by your example. Prior to the printing press, hand written books (or any reading material) would not have been accessible to the masses; hence the low literacy rates.

Furthermore, while no one was saying “I’m going to go buy WinZip now”, many were lining up to buy WinRAR?

Finally, the issue with “high quality hand crafted software” is that software and similar projects are made possible through engineering not through artistry.

Simply put:

"Engineering is achieving function while avoiding failure." — Henry Petroski

Embiggen is a perfectly cromulent word!

If any lawyers or FAA employees are reading this I’m genuinely interested in what, if any, legal implications there would be for running nmap mid flight on an airline. Surely once you have spoofed the MAC address and IP of another passenger to gain unauthorized access to the planes LAN you have committed a crime but what about passively scanning?

Op was talking about the front wheels pivoting. Rear wheels do not pivot. Furthermore, the quality is sometimes better on rear tires in a rear wheel drive car if the owner is trying to be frugal and save money when changing their tires. Similarly with front wheel drive drive train, owners will often opt to replace only their front tires as they will wear quicker. This is all due to the traction needed to start the car moving. Now, back to the crux of the question, why fancy park? Reversing and turning creates a wider turn radius, reduced control and greatly increases the size of the cars “blind spot”. A driver can opt to have their driving ability impacted while they safely enter an empty spot by reversing in or deal with the hustle and bustle of reversing into a busy parking lot. Despite the efficiency and obvious gains from “fancy parking” some people have parked forward their entire life and have honed their spacial sense around a certain car or truck making the switch impractical, at least until the purchase of their next vehicle!

€6000 to look inside of your walls for bats?!

Quitting my job today to move to the Netherlands to start a bat inspection business.

I vehemently disagree with this. I find managing vs code extensions a nightmare and having to download them based on rating alone when there are 300 extensions for every query is untenable in a production environment.

Furthermore if you want to customize a vsc extension to do something unique for your set up you have a whole new set of issues like finding the settings, documentation etc.

Now if you can get over all of that it’s still a bulky, slow and cluttered IDE that is constantly sending telemetry data and other nonsense around the web

While I haven’t tried LazyVim I would strongly recommend LunarVim to anyone new to the vim ecosystem. It installs fast, needs minimal set up and packages can be installed with a single line in the config or through packer. Most things work out if the box. But if they don’t vim is so mature you can just ask chatGPT.

Seems like ease of use is also the aim of lazyvim so I would not discourage anyone from trying this flavour as well.

In the end it is whatever works for you.

Does anyone know how the graph illustrations were created? I have driven myself mad with tikz and dot .

I love how the comments in the code keep the same tone as the game and the Simpson itself.

“”” // Synopsis: Blahblahblah “””

I want to work in a place that allows this or encourages it.

What an amazing project. I will be copying or becoming a customer in the coming weeks. Lots of comments about the high price, I do wish large e-ink displays would come down in price the but for ~$3k this will look good on my office wall , how could I resist. It’s art it is not just tech.
