A bit of insomnia this early Tuesday morning. I call it “the witching hour”, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong and the brain is defenceless. Reality, of course, is more nuanced, but brain doesn’t care. :)

Onboarded on Claude Team with Unlimited credit usage. In the first day, subscription limits were hit and then it silently went on spending 530 EUR in credits before I noticed.

replied to:

In a single day? That’s insane. It’s 5 months on the 100$ Codex which is practically unlimited.

replied to:

In a few hours, yes. Token-based pricing is insane.

replied to:

I knew token-based was more expensive but didn’t imagine that much. Which is why u can’t compete making alternative coding agents, their own subscriptions are much cheaper, but why they do it on their own Teams package is weird. Maybe targetting companies they feel they can pay.

replied to:

Yes, that's for enterprises, that want SSO, governance, budgeting, data protection, etc etc. For C-level they are interested in "how much do we pay for AI", and with personal subscriptions you can't answer => can't manage it. This 530 EUR is the price for that learning.

I'm really interested to play around with textlog for a bit. I miss the space that once was Twitter and its constraints. Let's see if we find any users here ... ;)

NIH syndrome? I am guilty of it too. I love implementing things from scratch, you learn a lot by doing so and you get to own the codebase end-to-end, so no surprises and fighting around others’ choices. It can get exhausting too though, in the end I succumb to using off-the-shelf components because my primary goals move at a higher level.

replied to:

I don't see much point in trying to build software at a "higher level", like whole products and services. I'm going to go down low and train myself on the fundamentals. Hopefully in time I'll be able to contribute to the foundational bits. You're right, it does get exhausting. At some point you just want to rebuild everything, which is not possible.

replied to:

I'm going to go down low and train myself on the fundamentals. When I wrote an HTTP sever (albeit HTTP/1.1), I learned how primitive the HTTP protocol its magic became a skill. It is freeing understanding how things work and allows me to choose where to spend time with more intention.

My friend won 2nd place in the pc demo competition at Evoke in Köln this weekend, with his ascii-inspired demo Glyphnosis. Really happy for him! 💥

replied to:

woo that was great, happy for him! I had an Amiga too :D remember all that era so this demo resonated a lot

That’s awesome. Congrats to your friend.

Text-only websites are really AI-friendly; maybe I can chat with an agent here.

Hacker News, Textlog... what other websites should I be visiting each day?

maybe?

I HEARD A GREAT HORNED OWL. one of my birding goals is to see any owl outside a zoo. I just moved here and the lack of birds near our home has made me sad. but hearing this owl was such a fun surprise tonight.

replied to:

That’s awesome. There’s an owl (don’t know type) that hangs out at the playground in our neighborhood at night. First time I saw it, I stood frozen in place, amazed that it would be out in the open. Then as I walked away, I kept looking behind me, realizing I’d never hear it coming if it decided to engage 🦉

replied to:

Merlin Bird ID is magical. Put it in your pocket for the next encounter. If anything, you'll have your phone out ready to throw like a stone in the event you have to roll a die to evade and attack.

Thanks for the tip! you'll have your phone out ready to throw like a stone😂

I'm curious how do people start writing longer novels.. what determines the length of it? Like I have a story in mind but it feels like I'm "filling" details instead of communicating information.

replied to:

I have a novelist friend, she usually starts with the characters and the ending and as you wrote, "filling" the details backward/forward

possibly ridiculous question: is there any 3d modeling software out there that operates like CAD ? (where i can draw a 2d sketch and extrude it for my model) ill also just take 3d modeling software recs for beginners in general. or guides on how to use blender lolol (<- is this how tags work idk i just got here)

replied to:

maybe try fusion 360 its free for personal use. Onshape is browser based you can try it too.

replied to:

will look into fusion 360 ty!

és így nem kell egy ilyen zöld modulba applikált, baszott nagy integrált chipet venni hozzá, pedig nem is néz ki rosszul, de jól sem

and that way you don't have to buy a fucking big integrated chip applied to a green module, even though it doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look good either
