I tried using Ceramic to search for "mlb playoffs 2026" and I'm getting results relating to the 2024 *NFL* pre-season

You can confirm the allowed usage amounts with something like ccusage or tokscale

Contabo is still notably cheaper than it was 2 years ago. I just shut down a 2 year old VPS and made a new one because it was ~20% cheaper than it was two years ago, and I also get more CPU and more RAM

This has been a problem on iOS since the dawn of time and has nothing to do with AI

Their customers do

Opencode absolutely will show you. You just have to toggle “Expand Reasoning”
> If you hit its radar systems and/or damage the surface enough that landing becomes impossible, it becomes a sitting duck.

Both of these statements are wrong. Carriers generally rely on the radar systems of their escorts and their early warning aircraft much more than their own systems.

Similarly, even if the landing deck was damaged, again the carrier's escorts are its primary defense

> This has always been the case where I work, long before AI.

And surely the place you work hired with this in mind. Many places have not, and yet now expect PMs who haven’t coded in years, or in many cases not at all, to contribute to their products’ codebases.

You’d be surprised with some long running complex tasks. I’ve seen Kimi spend 8 minutes (total) thinking on a task that Claude got done in 30 seconds. They both ultimately got it right, but Kimi spent ~$2.25 to Claude’s ~$0.20

> You can't build a business on per-seat subscriptions when you advertise making workers obsolete.

On the other hand I would argue that most workers' salaries are more like subscriptions than API type pricing (which would be more like an hourly contractor)

I disagree. A missile without guidance is a rocket which definitely has its uses on the battlefield.

A missile without propulsion is at best a bomb which doesn't do much good without an aircraft to drop it from

The Redditors have arrived
In the two test launches shown in the video, the "missile" doesn't fly straight nor does it demonstrate ability to be "guided" by the launcher towards any particular target.

It's also incredibly slow. There are children's rocket kits that fly significantly faster than this.

These kids won't be arguing before the Supreme Court though. They'll be taking the losses at the lower levels

A 5 month ROI on a hardware investment would be excellent, so not sure what you're trying to say here?

They tricked you. $40/month over two years is still $960 - definitely still luxury.

I’m fairly certain the original comment was referring to instances where the artist is the character/primary subject.
