Interesting that the default coordinator is opus low and thread subagents are opus high. Some folks have been saying they do a fable orchestrator to a qwnen subagent, and this seems to be the inverse (cheaper coordinator, more expensive subagent).

One of the ways on napkin math certainly is more expensive.

“Exploded at a specific time”

Such an HN response. This is a page announcing a partnership and that a fam created idea for a themed set has been accepted.

The set is not anywhere near finalized, and they don’t make any claims close to that. The original fan made set uses a very creative spinning light, and I’m sure that will be built on.


1. The legend uses different icons than the visualization 2. Why would you purposefully make every bubble empty? Change the scale to 1000 employees otherwise it’s deceptive. 10k employees is arbitrary.


1000 or 10k per stick figure is equally arbitrary.

What they actually need to do is scale the size of the stick people correctly.

For example, one meaningful measure might be to scale it so that one stick person fits inside a circle with area corresponding to the amount of money they have to earn in total for that number of people to cover all their living expenses and some amount of savings left over. I am sure some statistical bureau has some meaningful dollar amount of some sort that makes sense to use.


Just make it so that the companies that employ the most per market cap are filled, so we can see how empty the rest are.


That rather appears to be what they have done, given that the company with lowest market cap per employee has a circle full of people.


Useless data without context.

What is the age of the average Florida 2026 transplant? Couldn’t this just be near-retiree boomers moving to Florida, which doesn’t really indicate much?

What are these numbers compared to years prior? Do they fluctuate, or are they a continuous trend?

How much of the California and Texas numbers are caused by a small number of individuals (the Elon effect)?


Florida is a great state to declare bankruptcy in as they have a homestead exemption so they don't take your house. If you're a piece of shit that runs scammy businesses this a great place to move to.

Overall this isn't really a bad thing - if people want to vote with their feet then have at it. California continues to be a nice place to live and do business (non-competes) so I'm sure people will continue to live there. Everyone else can have Texas, Florida, and Tennessee and all of the, uh, benefits of living in those places and interacting with those state and local governments.


Just bout every state has a homestead exemption but IIRC Florida's is one of the few/only where it's unlimited on your primary residence so you "lock in" all your gainz by moving there before the "oops I'm bankrupt" drops.


It's worse than that..

the numbers in the chart, for instance, are from 2023.


One man’s fun is another man’s “idk what any of these words mean, I pay $20/mo for some company to abstract this complexity away”

For clarity, I do like blog posts like these.


LLMs work over a JSON API. You can read the JSON to see what's going on.

Using other people's harnesses I always got frustrated by not being able to see what the model sees. What are we actually sending it?

Context is pretty important when it comes to LLMs. Arguably, context is everything!

Usually the most straightforward way to see it, was to intercept the HTTP requests and dump them to a file.

This is usually trivial, just change the OPENAI_API_URL (or equivalent) to http://localhost:8080/ or whatever, which can be running a 20 line Python script, that just forwards the HTTP requests, and dumps them to a file.

It's pretty straightforward, although it really shouldn't be necessary in the first place.


I really do not want even more divergence between the price listed and what I actually pay.


The divergence is just the fee being placed into the margin you're paying regardless.

If you pay via a medium that does not return some of the margin to you in the form of rewards or a 'cash/debit' rebate, then functionally you're paying an invisible tax.

This means everyone should be using credit, ideally the highest reward options, which themselves have the highest processing fees, which result in higher prices all around. The creation of higher tiers of rewards and super-premium cards just repeats this cycle, whereby normal cardholders and cash/debit users are now subsidizing high-spend premium card users.

Further, large retailers negotiate significantly preferential rates and lower processing fees for their book of business. This means small and medium sized businesses pay significantly more per transaction for processing, meaning they're less competitive and less pricing pressure is placed on large retailers, which again raises prices for you.

There's also the card issuer side of things, but in short if you're not changing your credit cards regularly, companies will depreciate rewards and benefits over time in previous lines to move you into a higher margin segment of their portfolio.

In short, there's already a divergence, and you're already paying for it in multiple ways.


Coffee shops don’t qualify for l2/l3


Also available in Canada now!


TVs have streaming services, those need internet to function.

What else does anyone (average consumer) use their TV for? I don’t want a separate device to plug in and remote just to stream things.


> What else does anyone (average consumer) use their TV for?

Xbox/Playstation and free over-the-air channels. Great for major & regional sporting events - free ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX - tends to have less of a delay as well (for me anyway)

Pretty sure consoles have all the streaming apps too


Isn't that what a streaming stick is for? Who needs those complex TV remotes anyway. I've been running on Roku remotes for years and haven't missed anything. Even TiVo remotes are too complex.


Streaming sticks also collect your data. Roku does ACR unless you opt out.


Sure but some are just regular computers that run windows, easily converted to Linux.


Which streaming sticks are regular computers that run Windows?

If you mess with the firmware or try to build your own, you’ll not be able to play the higher quality formats because of DRM software.


They shouldn't though honestly. TVs should go back to basically being dumb monitors and the smart features should just come with a box. They can even sell the box as a bundle


But surely you know the TV will have ads, and spyware and screenshots you every few seconds to send to manufactures, and in some cases even has microphones involved?

The apps built into the screen literally meet the definition of trojans which any casual search on most brands would tell you.

All avoidable by plugging in an $20 dedicated source device for streaming or whatever.

Is saving the $20 really worth it?


> But surely you know

No? It's hardly written in the advertising copy for the TV, is it.

This is a technical website with technical users. You are failing to put yourself in the shoes of non-technical, ordinary users who just want to watch Netflix.

> All avoidable

If you know that you should avoid it but people don't.


> No? It's hardly written in the advertising copy for the TV, is it.

Which just proves almost no one does 5 minutes of online research before blindly believing whatever a device says about itself.

Those sorts are unfortunately in for a very bad time over the next few years.


A nutritionist, a dermatologist, a plumber could all say the same about many of the things we do or don't do day to day. There's only so many free "5 minutes" people have in a day.


I have researched second opinions from professionals on dermatology, nutrition, and plumbing, and reviews on the ones I do hire.

A bunch of 5 minute segments of gut check research avoids a ton of pain in life.

Everyone connecting these TVs to the internet, has access to the internet to tell them not to do that.

Obviously though, the TV makers are at fault. I just am baffled how so many still fall for this.


> Everyone connecting these TVs to the internet has access to the internet to tell them not to do that.

> I just am baffled how so many still fall for this.

Because you're assuming everybody else is you, cares about the same things as you, does the same things as you, and has the same priorities as you.

You're astonished the world isn't you, and that is a vastly more astonishing take than people-just-wanna-watch-Netflix.


Genuine question - are there any $20 streaming sticks that don't put their own advertisements in?


A Pi Zero running an SD card image built for streaming. Plenty of them. Take your pick.
