After running a context window up high, probably near 70% on opus 4.6 High and watching it take 20% bites out of my 5hr quota per prompt I've been experimenting with dumping context after completing a task. Seems to be working ok. I wonder if I was running into the long context premium. Would that apply to Pro subs or is just relevant to api pricing?

I noticed during the olympics that they would hide the in-page volume controls during commercials. I hadn't seen that before. Fortunately it's still possible to mute via the tab control.

This is something that wouldn't be covered by registration free COM?

I'm amazed apple has got by with a 3/4 day charge for 10 generations while garmin has had products with a 7+ day charge for years.

Neither the Cessna nor many helicopters (autorotation) need power to land. I wouldn't want to get into one of these e-bricks!

My library has a Great Courses piano course available through hoopla/kanopy. It's really well done!

Yea, I noticed this same thing a couple weeks ago in a relatively small Michigan college town. Used to buy eggs at Aldis for 65 cents not that long ago.

One of my main concerns is how easily and quickly can issues be debugged? Can you attach a debugger in production if necessary? I've seen people experiment with serverless and it seems like they were back to print statements for debugging.

I'm a C++ programmer that's not done anything directly in C. I stumbled by this book Fluent C By Christopher Preschern just published this month and I thought the organization looked rather interesting. It covers many programming concerns and details several patterns for dealing with them. One thing that's neat is it often refers to open source projects where the pattern is applied so one could go take a more detailed look.

Is there any way to import Meigs? I'm surprised they never brought it back for fun!
