Administrators are the ones making purchasing decisions. IT might make recommendations, but it's someone in administration (or multiple someones) who makes the final decision on what software the district buys for its many students.

I wouldn't mind a deadline extension for using Fable 5.2 on the Pro plan.

The money in your bank account?

Don't forget about the money in your wallet as well since you don't control the printer.

and don't forget about your money in your house you don't control your wife

be careful with your assumptions! not everyone on hacker news is a lesbian

Tried this today with 5.2. It caught a lot of problems and gave me an impressive report of its findings.

It also burned through my entire 5-hour limit in about 10 minutes. Granted, it had almost finished the whole review in those 10 minutes, so points for speed I suppose.

You really can't let it go on its own; it'll spin up fable subagents and burn through usage laughably quick. You have to specifically tell it to follow guidelines on when to use which type of subagent and let it act as orchestrator and reviewer.

It's weird they've left that as a "gotcha", and I can't think of many charitable reasons for doing so.

Yeah, triggering a fan out on a fable main agent is a recipe for immediate budget exhaustion. I disabled workflows for this reason, but it does still occasionally decide multi-agent fan out is the right approach.

EDIT: in their defense, it _is_ the right technical approach when I hit this, its just not the right financial approach. So you have to manually intervene to guide it around this if you care about the cost.

I suspect Apple just decided that giving users a lot of fine-grained settings is not as good for their business as keeping things simple.

To my understanding, that has been their attitude for pretty much the entire life of the company.

Yes, taking away customer choice is good for business, as Apple has proven time and again. It's a shame, but I can't argue with the results.

There are also a lot of set it and forget it index investors that won't buy a dip, but won't sell either (unless they experience those serious financial hardships). That's the group I'm in.

He won't be punished by the legal system.

Possibly. But even if not, how many AI model developers do we need? We will likely need a nonzero number, but it could be very few compared to the total number of software developers we have today.

Yeah I'm really impressed by what Opus 5.5 can manage.

I feel like human code is on a wide quality spectrum. The best human code is way better than what Opus 5.5 can do. But the average code, I'm not so sure.

I have only very rarely in my career encountered code worse than what an LLM produces. It happens, but your typical programmer is still quite a bit better than an LLM.

Could definitely be I've had the misfortune of working with below-average programmers (and inheriting their codebases).

The way I see it many HOAs are the opposite of privatization, at least when they cannot be opted out of. They control land, impose taxes (sorry, "fees"), have elected leadership, provide services, make rules that they have the power to enforce, and the only way to leave them is to move out of their territory.

In my eyes this is essentially the same thing as a form of local government, just on a smaller scale.
