So not for real time applications?

Still very interesting, thank you for the information!

Maybe they have, but I would suggest against it.
No, I was a photographer at the time
Neither
Nope

Never been diagnosed. Been to many therapists and psychiatrists.

I've been diagnosed with depression several times, but never anything spicier.

I'm just strange I guess.

Sorry for stating something so obvious. I'll comment less from now on.
If we're counting, the USA was already pretty deep in the hole. Anybody that has experienced crippling debt understands there's a point of no return where you just embrace it.

And that point is right before rock bottom.

Funny joke,

But for real, obviously we all know people use agents to pick restaurants and that's a legit vector.

I agree it's not the biggest surface, but it's worth knowing imdo

If you gave me an agent that succeeded 50% of tasks I gave it, I could take over the world in a week. Faster if I wasn't so lazy.

I think you're overestimating, or oversimplifying. Maybe both.

There are lots of free LLMs, but you (often) pay for the good ones.

There's lots of people with lots of opinions, but you (often) have to pay for the good ones.

Well put, but I don't like it. Though, I've seen this exact pattern multiple times now.

Why? Good anxiety or bad?

I've got a gfx device crash that only happens on switch. Not Xbox, ps4, steam, epic, or anything. Only switch.

Opus hasn't been able to fix it. I haven't been able to fix it. Maybe mythos can idk, but I'll be surprised.

Re:Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:57AM (#47795269)
This sounds good, I look forward to experimenting with it.
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:54AM (#47795209)
I'm wondering this too. That said, I know a few people in real life who prefer Codex. More who prefer Claude though.

>A recurring experience: I say something explicit, the other person hears something implicit.

I've experienced this my entire life and have all but given up trying to have actual conversations with people.

In the 90s I spent many hours on IRC and newsgroups reading all kinds of wonderful, and some not so wonderful things. I even had my own website, with photos, a web log, and a guest book! None of us were paid.

Sure, it wasn't as dressed up, but it was joyful and charming.

Not everything is about money, and not everything needs to be done for money. On the contrary; money seems to drain the charm and joy.

How does it compare to photon networking? I've been using photon and webrtc mostly. I haven't had any issues, but I'm always interested in finding better solutions!

Very cool!! It's actually full of blogs! I've seen lots of claims for this kind of thing, glad to see you followed through!
It's a good setting. I've found it gets reset sometimes from Windows updates, so you must remain vigilant.
Because it's the opposite of shabby
Re:Neanderthals survived on a knife's edge for 350k years on Tuesday March 31, 2026 @11:59PM (#47596638)
Basque Country also has an interesting language which doesn't seem related to other European languages. Basque language (or Euskara).

Seems as though it could have been an enclave of neanderthals who eventually integrated with humans.

I figured they would do this when SoftBank acquired them.
