Probably had Claude write their authentication backend.

So I can't see bothering with this when I pumped 260M tokens through running in Auto mode on a $20/mo Cursor plan. It was my first month of a paid subscription, if that means anything. Maybe someone can explain how this works for them?

Frankly, I don't understand it at all, and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

They're running at a loss and covering up the losses using VC?

I think that the providers are going to wait until there are a significant number of users that simply cannot function in any way without the subscription, and then jack up the prices.

After all, I can all but guarantee that even the senior devs at most places now won't be able to function if every single tool or IDE provided by a corporate (like VSCode) was yanked from them.

Myself, you can scrub my main dev desktop of every corporate offering, and I might not even notice (emacs or neovim, plugins like Slime, Lsp plugins, etc) is what I am using daily, along with programming languages.


Listen for 2 hours to how the customer thinks it should be done, then do it the way that actually gets the result they asked for.

Buffet is stepping down at the end of the year.

agreed. That had been previously reported


My problem with Gemini is how token hungry it is. It does a good job but it ends up being more expensive than any other model because it's so yappy. It sits there and argues with itself and outputs the whole movie.


Try Activities and set a shortcut to Meta-Tab to switch between activities. I love it so much for running several projects at once and keeping all my browser/terminal/IDE/SSH together and out of each others way. You can also use Meta-Q to bring up a list.

Also, Meta-T for snapping windows into tiles with Shift-Drag multiplies that organization.

The sheer productivity gains of using Plasma makes Windows look pathetic.


https://valetudo.cloud is the only one I know about but not sure if the controller in those units would be flashable.


Well, it appears that Neato/Vorwerk robots are not supported - at least they're not listed on https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html

> Please note that this list is exhaustive. These are the supported robots. Robots not on this list are not supported by Valetudo. If your robot is not on this list, it is not supported.

From what i gathered so far, Valetudo is actually no custom firmware but modified vendor firmware? So, not sure if anyone related to the project has any interest and capability to reverse that...


When I looked into it, it seemed like a community that loved freeing robots but was absolutely not willing to buy robots that the developers did not have access to. This seems like a fair stance and I think they will start receiving dead vacuums soon. Hopefully Neato's security is as bad as their business side.


I had to do exactly this with Oracle. They couldn't fix my account to be able to change my billing, but I still had access to my resources. But I couldn't change anything and I figured it was just a sign that breaking my rule of never dealing with Oracle was a bad idea so I shut it down. Then had to cancel the card to get the billing stopped because multiple long calls and chats with CS couldn't get that fixed.


That's a nice little island you have there; it would be a shame if we let the gang next door have their way with it. Now why don't you make nice with our close business associates and give them a good deal, eh?

Mama mia, cabrone.


go ahead, make my day
