Has cloudfare become any more strict with passing large amounts of video data through them? I heard they were kind of against it, but haven't enforced anything.

I wouldn't call Terra a mid tier model. Terra xhigh is the only model I use for coding and it is good for literally everything. The difference between Terra and Sol is negligible, but it is way more limit hungry and much much slower.

Has anyone personally upgraded to 3.0? How is the experience?

I actually think it is people who write using these terrible short punchline sentences. In my experience, llms do better job at generating complicated sentences.

My .md files are specific to my domain - game development using Unity. Something that is probably universal and is a good baseline for every project and domain:

- which libraries to use for standard problems - project structure, it helps if it has a name(vertical slice etc) - which things llm is free to edit, which not - naming, comments etc

And most importantly: "what not to do", and you should do this a lot: Whenever llm does something that is a code smell, make it fix it and make it add a new rule to agents.md.

I got the codex to write near perfect code with somewhat strict agents.md and coding standards(a separate .md file referenced from agents.md). My .md files have examples and a long list of do's and don'ts I accumulated over the last 6 months or so, totaling 300-400 lines. I plan every feature with it until I am satisfied with the general approach it wants to take, and then it oneshots it in 95% of cases. The planning takes anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. The actual execution has gotten stupidly fast, most of the times it is faster than making a cup of coffee.

Good job on getting into running! I would highly suggest you find some "exercises for runners" videos on youtube and find some exercises that are comfortable for you to do. Focus on the exercises that are asymmetric(lunges etc). You can do most of them at home and it takes 30 minutes twice a week. You will feel the results in less than two weeks. Most of the people who run consistently do those kind of exercises because running is very demanding on your body and if stabilizer muscles are weak, the impact will go to your joints and tendons.

yeah, it is great that you've read a book or two, but why is it that every single elite athlete runs and trains in modern "springloaded" shoes?

Is there a way to find "the concerns" of people from back when MS Excel was becoming a thing? Maybe someone here can share how people took the introduction of the early days "productivity tools" like MS Word and MS Excel?

Mine was automating mining ore via an assist tool called UOInject. I think the language there was Visual Basic. I started programming purely out of necessity.

> So what happened to the Swiss watch industry is not merely an interesting outlier. It's very much a story of our times.

I am not saying it is, but it sounds like the first paragraph of every Gemini deep research.

I thought that's called "hangover" and you just need to drink more when that happens.

I like it because it differs a lot from whites and reds and allows to get a different perspective on how wine can taste. While the difference within whites and within reds can be huge, the orange wine tastes like something completely alien, yet it can be very tasty.

There were not a whole lot of Russian tourists 10 years ago because the memories from Russian invasion of 2008 were still fresh.

I'm not saying that inflow of Russians is particularly bad, it just raised the prices of everything very significantly, and together with the pro-Russian government and reversal in pro-European development, the European tourist influx is stagnant at best.

I've been to Georgia 10 years ago and there were a lot of tourists from Germany and France. Both the buses with organized trips for retired people and youngsters renting AirBnbs for cheap.

The problem we faced was with the inconsistency in price/quality in restaurants and services. Some places are really cheap - a huge dinner for two in a "I want this, this and this and two bottles of wine" manner costed 25EUR, while a 15 minute transfer could cost 50EUR. This inconsistency is something that leaves a bad aftertaste for many tourists, who would otherwise want to go there again and again to enjoy the beautiful nature, food, wine. And the tap water is literally Evian. That was in Kutaisi.

If it wasn't for the sudden grab of power fueled by Russian money and the influx of people fleeing from Russia because of war, give Georgia another 10-20 years, and the living standards would rise dramatically. Similar to how it happened in early 2000s.
