It isn't just bullshit on that end, it's bullshit on the expense end. Most businesses are on $20/user/month plans, some individuals maybe on $100/$200

Where the fuck is $2000/month/user coming from? FTA:

Uh huh. Where did those come from. Ticking off every AI upgrade option from every SaaS product you rent, AI summaries of AI summaries of AI code reviews everywhere? I don't think THAT even gets you to $2000 a user. Can you burn $2000 if you try, absolutely, is there a story there... well if we don't know the story explaining that then there isn't a story, this is just a bullshit narrative being built.

Look, somewhere an employee made off with an entire months supply of free breakfast bars and coffee pods from the supply closet. Let's not run around with the coffee is costing companies $X based on that bullshit. Or "On-prem datacenters send power bills skyrocketing" when the story is about some VMware servers showing up in a random office closet. How you unexpectedly blew $2000 at work would be a story.

There's something off about cheering on another man laying a little pipe. Like we're patting a special kid on the back. We knew you could do it Elon Shortpipe, keep it hanging!

You joke, we still can't cut down an oak tree without preapproval and paying for each inch of girth. Don't mess with Texas doesn't mean shit anywhere you like in Texas, you have to bribe some guys up top first.

God bless you comrade for signing up to colonize Mars, the Earth is better for people like you. Would you like any help packing?

For things people will live in or on or around, yes, yes it is.

Yah, that was the GP's problem though, the parent is right, if you let one session get too long the context goes off the rails. You're better off curating some .md files, like a README, skill files, etc and being able to start a new session for each task. You could end up paying more tokens for repetitive discovery in each task but you can improve that various ways, like indexing your code, knowledge graphs etc, same stuff YOU would do to make searching a large alien code base more efficient.

That's all best practice _already_, and it's obviously required to drive the process with some control loop too, but you guys acting like this means appending to a single context continuously are so lost. This "loop engineering" (no judgement) is just an automated control loop on top of an already reentrant process.

It's like giving notes to a new coworker, that actually reads your notes. It's a best practice for using a LLM because you shouldn't keep all the important bits in context... your chat history. That gets compacted when you get close to the context window limit. It's more efficient to start a new one for each task, depending on complexity. You write the important parts that can't be inferred well in basically README files, each new session reads those to get up to speed.

You'd have different workflows for a seasoned salty team, new hires, and seasonal temps that might come and go any day right? Totally different training and documentation needs for each. Treating LLM like a temp that shows up to do one moderately complex task works well, they can infer a LOT, and fast, and LLM don't have memory, they're a function you pass a blob of text to. IDK if I'm explaining this well, play with them a while and you'll get the hang of it.

Well, yes. A currency has value because a bunch of things are priced and negotiated in it. You have a bajlion sellers of a loaf of bread guessing what buyers might pay, and you have a metric schiznillion bread buyers bidding with their wallets and you wind up at an average price of 2 Cronats per load of bread. You repeat that with a bunch of global commodities and you have some benchmarks to say 1 Cronat should be worth about 1.3 Bahlsax, then you have currency markets where people buy and sell each and things sort of settle out somewhere. The numbers don't matter, that whole entire process is what gives currency value, or what lets you measure it against other things of value.

Bitcoin is sort of like a currency ... that nobody buys anything with. Other currency? Which makes it a lot more like the bread. At the end of the day, people are buying things like bread, and they buy it with Cronats and Baglsax, then they can buy bitcoin with one of those, but why? We know why they buy bread.

Blamed for a global logistics reset following COVID, Federal Reserve policy changes, and then Putin's 2022 invasion of Ukraine fucking over global energy prices, with those dumbass "I did that" stickers on gas pumps.

THAT is what you call a "pass", are you fucking joking? In contrast to Trump, what, you think unfairly being blamed for personally fucking over global trade and energy prices with his tariff bullshit then his Iran war? Doing his damndest to manipulate the Fed?

Pass whatever you are smoking please, holy shit dude.

Most of the ACA's provisions are still in effect, and benefiting millions of Americans. Republicans have been utterly incapable of repealing it or developing any kind of alternative plan that wouldn't cost them elections. Calling it a failure must be some kind of coping mechanism. Sorry DarkOx, that is a weird hill to die on.

It's like sneaking into a baseball game without paying, no, that isn't "stealing".

And just like that, if you're a kid, don't get caught, but if you're an adult with a job, fuck you buddy, nobody owes you a fucking game you entitled loser.

The fuck they are. They're $74.00, for your _second_ controller because one is already included with the base system.

While steam controller is apparently $80 when bundled and $100 after. Why lie about this.

... wait, one is included with a PS5, then they are $75 purchased separately, $80 and $85 are for different colors.

Steam controller is $100 purchased separately.

Paying for something and then ignoring the terms you agreed to when you paid for it is one thing, but not paying for something then taking it anyway because you disagree, that's just dumb. It's not something you need and can't afford.

Nobody owes you a video game on your terms you entitled snowflake. What a loser.
