So what these services do is bring you food in exchange for money. If you have money and need some food they will bring it to you.

I think they are fairly reliable if nothing else. Certainly not cheap or practical.

The update they added here[1] yesterday makes it appear that usage is covered by your subscription by granting you credits. That's the way I'm reconciling the above comment with their update on the site.

Re:Claude Haiku 5.5 on Thursday October 08, 2026 @09:34AM (#50005645)
Just to be clear - claude -p use will now consume credits rather than count against your normal claude code usage? This seems like a significant downgrade.

I've found it to be very helpful. A fairly painless approach for hosting a quick prototype.

I've been using this for probably six weeks. It just popped up as an option one day in Codex.
Re:People Hooked on Vapes Try a New Way to Quit: Cigarettes on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @09:12AM (#49815572)
Most people who think they want to quit are still in the "wanting to want to quit" phase. When I truly decided to quit (because of a family health issue), I quit cold turkey and never touched a cigarette again.
Re:Ogre Battle 64 Recompiled Project at 99.05% on Monday September 21, 2026 @09:31AM (#49787072)
I know there are a lot of recomp projects like this out there - are there any sites dedicating to aggregating them all and tracking their progress?

Re:Almost no skill required to cook a steak on Thursday August 06, 2026 @04:22PM (#49201951)
True, what constitutes "Medium" on your individual stove is maybe the one single complicating factor! Otherwise it's:

- Cut steak in preheated oven at 250 degrees. - Pull at 125-130 degrees internal temp - Cook one minute per side in a skillet on medium heat

Re:Almost no skill required to cook a steak on Thursday August 06, 2026 @02:13PM (#49200283)
Cooking a genuinely good steak also requires almost no skill. I can give you a chicken scratch note with 3 bullet points and it will come out nearly perfectly.
That's the real reason, that's not the actual argument.
Is CJal here supposed to be JCal by chance? I feel like that was close to 15 years ago, but I'm in the same boat. I used to listen to almost every show Twit put out, which was quite a bit.
My setup is sort of reversed. The powerful machine (framework desktop) is my headless AI machine and M1 mbp is my daily driver. Works well!
Re:Reviving a 15-year-old netbook with Arch Linux on Saturday July 18, 2026 @11:04AM (#48958774)
This machine is a good candidate for Damn Small Linux. I've put DSL on much older machines with a full snappy GUI experience.
My LI feed is almost entirely AI slop at this point. I have second-hand embarrassment for all the people who are obliviously broadcasting "thought leadership" that is transparently the work of AI to their entire networks.
Re:GPT-5.6 on Thursday July 09, 2026 @03:18PM (#48851053)
I consistently have better results with Codex for the work that I do. People have been saying that for six months, but until 5.4 the experience was sufficiently slower that it wasn't worth the switch. Making the switch was frictionless. Give it a try

Going the IPO route is not an option for most of the companies being acquired (vets, plumbers, electricians, construction companies, etc.)
Some of the most complex problems I've ever solved were solved when I was mowing my own lawn with a push mower. Just in a trance. Many of the best life decisions I've ever made were when I was on a walk, thinking things through.
