Yes it is. I've really oijed those convention at places I've worked. It probably wouldn't be too hard to instruct AI's to use this format too.

It seems harder to justify telling someone to fuck off for doing literally the exact same thing you're currently doing.

I second this! I switched to mint recently. They are offering unlimited data including hotspot for $15/mo for up to a year if you prepay. I think then it goes to their standard rate which is $30/mo for unlimited, or $15/mo for 5gb.

Not sponsored or anything, just a happy customer.

I tried it for the first time the other day after having heard how much better it's gotten recently, and it made me really wonder how bad was the UX _before_ all these recent improvements. I don't want to bash on it too hard, because it's clear that a ton of hard work has gone into it, but it was really a struggle for me to get some pretty basic things done. The only feedback for a lot of things I tried to do was some not-very helpful error messages in the console, or just the whole program crashing. After trying hard for quite a few hours, reading lots of docs and watching tutorials, I ended up giving up and going back to Fusion 360.

It's an acquired taste. The sketcher is actually pretty good these days and way snappier than Fusion 360 on my machine.

Agreed. I tried it 2 months ago and found the game. Also back to Fusion which is free for hobbyists anyway.

I actually thought the backup cam was required by law now. I wonder how they get around that.

EDIT: Ah, it's not sold for the US market, so that's how.

They would still need other sensors if omitting the camera, alongside a slew of other safety systems: https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/document/download... . Curious.

I've been living in a rental for a while, and I have a woodshop in the garage. I've been really wanting to have a 220V outlet to run some bigger power tools, but if figured doing that would require hiring an electrician to come do some work in the breaker box. This has me curious if I can do something like this just to power some stuff in my garage, and also potentially charge an electric car.

Hiring an electrician is going to be cheaper probably, depending on the length of the run and how annoying the location is (and if your panel has enough capacity to spare). Unless your landlord is an asshole they probably won't care, in my experience, as long as you get a qualified person to do it. You're basically improving their place so it's not a hard thing to get approved.

Btw for the second part, you _can_ charge electric cars over just normal 15amp circuits you already have. It's just slow, so you'd only want to do it for nightly charging and it may depend on your commuting range if it'll work out or not.

You could get something like an eco flow battery, charge it on your 120v service and then use its inverter to run your intermittent 240v loads. IIRC their models support being in charge and invert mode simultaneously, so you wouldn't have to swap plugs or change settings throughout the day.

The Delta Pro series is capable of running a 3 ton AC condensing unit, so if your tools are less demanding than this it should work out.

> We can't really do much with the information that x amount is reserved for MCP, tool calling or the system prompt.

I actually think this is pretty useful information. It helps you evaluate whether an MCP server is worth the context cost. Similar for getting a feel for how much context certain tool uses use up. I feel like there's a way you can change the system prompt, and so that helps you evaluate if what you've got there is worth it also.

Sure, it's useful, once.

What we need is a way to manage the dynamic part of the context without just starting from zero each time.

My theory is that you will never get this from a frontier model provider because as is alluded to in sibling thread the context window management is actually a good hunk of the secret sauce that makes these things effective and companies do not want to give that up

There are driver's licenses and learner's permits. This could be the flying equivalent.

I think it's about optimizing for different types of reading. When you're reading the final text, you're reading to absorb the content. When you're reading the source text, you're reading to find edits you want to make. Using more line breaks is a way of making the document easier to scan if you're familiar with the "shape" of it.

It seems like it would be much quicker and easier to just have a piece of plastic or something cut at a 76 degree angle that they can place on the laptop and fold the screen up to.

Could be that the demo OS reports some metric on how often the laptops are set to 76deg and how often customers move it. Probably a whole ton of usages of the sensor and if it's price comparable to the old close sensor they used to use it would be easy to justify.

I've heard employees use the measurements app in their iPhones sometimes to adjust in the mornings, but having a sensor in the laptop lid seems like a much easier way to do it and you don't need to carry anything with you.

It would not, since you don't want to carry a piece of plastic all day long to set the angle correctly. Most people just use their phones to check the angle though.
