prob a noob question; but what kind of data are people looking to get to help with what kind of decisions with these tools?

i can see some IT/infra team using these tools to manage their LLM costs, but this blog post seems to hint at some kind of product decision making? what am i missing here?

not to mention, thats pretty bad advice for these chargeback frauds. not gonna deny some regions have higher risk of frauds, but these are mostly high-volume automated schemes.

in the case of these "friendly fraud" schemes, they are much more likely to come from more developed regions with strong consumer protection laws like the NA.

if anything in many of those "high risk" regions, chargeback are much less common because fewer consumer protection law e.g. banks would automatically reject chargebacks for transactions with 3DS OTP.

any chance you have a key sequence mapping that starts with esc? sounds like its waiting to see if you are gonna be pressing another key before timing out and do its thing

Probably would've been useful to specify its a React UI component library

The about page at https://alllooksame.com/about/ seems to indicate that the author who is of Japanese descent is not able to differentiate between them himself and made this website to test the assumption

In any case, I thought the "you all look the same" racist trope is that east asian people look similar to one another individually? is there an actual expectation of being able to tell the actual ethnicity/countries apart?

Am asian myself, got 6/18 too.

CJK people actually do look very similar anyway, which is not surprising as there are a lot of shared genetics.

The way people tell them apart is going to be mostly based on current popular fashion, which is quite difficult to do with these bust shots and what I'm guessing are older pictures

Maybe I'm being thick here, but i still dont quite get how does he earn money from his artwork?

For example, how does he earn from the Honey Bear murals? does the city or building owner commission him for the murals? If so, does he do some kind of outreach or sales call to the building owners or is it the other way round?

Not an artist and nor am I in the art world, just curious how does business work in there

out of curiosity, which one is the bigger part of your "financial cushion" nowadays? is it still mostly the ex-Google income/savings or has the TinyPilot exit taken that place?

>simply because it's easier by tapping

i was under the impression UPI is just the underlying protocol, but an interface can be built on top be it tapping/QR/others? is that not the case?

I noticed the astro docs has lot of mention of Cloudflare worker as well, is there any reason why you didnt go with Cloudflare pages instead? I’d have guessed pages would be the perfect fit for hosting a rendered astro website

>it looks like either this battery changes the world within the next 3 months, or it will make the CEO look like a fool.

looking at the richest person on earth today, I think we have established at this point truth doesn't really matter, so I think its safe to say the CEO have little to worry about looking like a fool or to face any kind of consequences really.

Skeptical, but still, I hope the company is for real

can you point me to this claim? also last i checked trying to connect to OpenAI seems to prompt for an API key, does openAI's API key make use of the subscription quota?

just wanted to make sure before I sign up for a openAI sub

The readme (and probably most of the project) is likely generated by an LLM - chances are we'll learn more reading the prompts than the readme.

I actually tried this few days back before the Claude Code EULA reinforcement, I went through the same thing.

1. I honestly had a hard time parsing what this is supposed to do or provide over standard opencode setup from the readme. It is rather long-winded and have a lot of bombastic claims but doesnt really explain what it does.

2. Regardless, the claims are pretty enticing. Because I was in experiment mode, and I already had a VM running to try out some other stuff, I gave it a try

3. From what I can tell, its basically a set of configs and plugins to make opencode behave a certain way. Kinda like how lazyvim/astronvim are to neovim.

4. But for all its claims, it had a lot of issues - the setups are rather brittle and was hard to get working out of the box (this is from someone who is pretty comfortable tinkering with vim configs), when I managed to get it working (at least I think its working), its kinda meh? It uses up way more tokens than the default opencode, for worse (or at less consistent) results.

5, FWIW, I dont find the multi/sub-agent workflow to be all that useful for most tasks, or at the very least its still very early IMO, kinda like the function calling phase of chatgpt to really be useful.

6. I was actually able to grok most of Steve Yegge's gastown post from the other day. He made-up a lot of terms that I think made things even more confusing, but I was able to recognize many of the concepts as things that I also had thought of them in a "it would be cool if we can do X/Y/Z" manner. Not with this project.

TBH, at this point im not sure if I'm using it wrong or am I missing something, or this is just how people market their projects in the age of LLM.

edit: what I tried the other day was the code-yeongyu/oh-my-opencode, not this (fork?) project

just because i havent gotten to try it out really.

but what is it about Amp Code that makes it immune from doing that? from what i can tell, its another cli tool-calling client to an LLM? so fwict, i'd expect it to be subject to the indeterministic nature of LLM calling the tool i dont want it to call just like any others, no?
