With the range as good as a modern EV the charge time already isn't a particularly that bad. I'd much prefer more chargers (so that you can combine charging with something else you were going to do anyway) than faster ones.
I tend to agree but I think the strategy here is to convert people who stubbornly cling to gas vehicles because EVs somehow defy their expectations. I have been approached many times at highway rest stops by people who are curious and slightly skeptical about the EV value proposition. They see me hanging around the vehicle for a half hour and think “ugh, no thanks” as if that’s all I do when I travel. What they’re not seeing is that I rarely use public chargers at all, because 99% of my charging is done either at home or at the charger in the parking lot at work. It’s really just road trips. Not to mention, if you’re an ICE owner hanging around long enough at a rest stops to notice that I’m hanging around, are you really that much faster on a road trip?!!
Back on topic, I am ok with losing a little efficiency in the fast charging process if it means that more people switch away from a horribly inefficient and polluting technology.
I pay $100/mo to Anthropic. Yesterday I coded one small feature via an API key by accident and it cost $6. At this rate, it will cost me $1000/mo to develop with Opus. I might as well code by hand, or switch to the $20 Codex plan, which will probably be more than enough.
I'd rather switch to OpenAI than give up my favorite harness.
Yeah I had a similar experience one time. Which is why I laugh when people suggest Anthropic is profitable. Sure, maybe if everyone does API pricing. Which they won’t because it’s so damn expensive. Another way to think about it is API pricing is a glimpse into the future when everyone is dependent on these services and the subscription model price increases start.
My monthly "connection fee" is more than that (no solar, just EV). Your cartel needs to step it up!
For me it's $0.8/kWh during peak, $0.47 off peak, and super off peak of $0.15. I accidentally left a little mini 500W heater on all day, while I was out, costing > 5% of your whole month!
Wait - are you missing all the context on this? Anthropic pushed back against this hard, there was a whole back and forth. I'm on mobile and can't look it up for you atm but if you google about this scenario, Anthropic definitely come out of this looking a lot better than OpenAI and xAI
If you evaluate fascism in terms of donation, yes.
But it is more about the political opinions, IMHO, and Anthropic doesn't sound more attractive than the competitors. Anthropic is very much to the right of the transhumanism spectrum (even if xAI and OpenAI are even farther).
IMO, OpenAI have either implicitly committed to becoming the IT service for Trump's secret police, or they've willingly signed up for the harsh retaliation Anthropic's getting, knowing that the Trump administration will inevitably try to push OpenAI around in the same way, if they meaningfully refuse to assist in domestic mass surveillance efforts.
You can argue a moral equivalence, I guess, but on a practical level, OpenAI's decision is more dangerous for everyone, because it will help to secure Trump as a dictator.
Fun fact: In Germany, the civil courts will usually take the case anyways if it has merit, but the winner ends up paying for the whole lawsuit if they failed to make an effort to resolve the case before suing.
It is worth noting that both products have had "student" tiers or similar, that had fixed credit limits with a cliff.
Therefore, they've implemented hard-limits. So not offering hard-limits is a business decision, NOT a technical one. They're essentially hiding functionality they have.
Make of that as you will. Anyone justifying it, should be me with skepticism.
Soft limits would be ideal (x/day with maximum peak of x/minute), but hey, that's literally negative value to them (work to code, CPU time to implement, less income out of "mistakes")
If I reduce my gdrive subscription they don’t simply delete what I have over the new (lower) limit. There is a grace period and it’s standard practice. Why should it be any different in this case?
I've heard that Google keeps Google Drive data around for up to two years if your subscription expired and your account is over quota. They could certainly do the same with other cloud storage.
There is, and it would cause an outage while still not achieving the supposed goal of not going over budget. You don't want to be killing your customer's production over potential misconfigurations/forgotten budgets. Especially when you'd continue to bill them for the storage and other static things like IPs.
It's so much easier for them to have support wave accidental overuses.
There’s not much difference, really. I stupidly didn’t bother looking at prior art when I started reverse engineering and the ghidra-cli was born (along with several others like ilspy-cli and debugger-cli)
That said, it should be easier to use as a human to follow along with the agent and Claude Code seems to have an easier time with discovery rather than stuffing all the tool definitions into the context.
That is pretty funny. But you probably learned something in implementing it! This is such a new field, I think small projects like this are really worthwhile :)
> But the implementation of Gerrit seems rather unloved
There are lots of people who are very fond of Gerrit, and if anything, upstream development has picked up recently. Google has an increasing amount of production code that lives outside of their monorepo, and all of those teams use Gerrit. They have a few internal plugins, but most improvements are released as part of the upstream project.
My company has been using it for years, it's a big and sustained productivity win once everyone is past the learning curve.
Gerritforge[0] offers commercial support and runs a very stable public instance, GerritHub. I'm not affiliated with them and not a customer, but I talk to them a lot on the Gerrit Discord server and they're awesome.
Any tips?
