I tried an experiment. I had Tim do a refactor of one of my projects. It dockerized the whole thing (postgres, redis, node server, app) I used glm-5.3-flash. It took about an hour. The whole thing 9.25 MILLION tokens and cost me $0.39!

So, I crunched some numbers and found that this same operation would have cost around $36 using claude-fable-5.1! Why are you still using frontier models that cost orders of magnitude more for the same result?

I want to apologize, in public, to @loftwah for comments I made last Tuesday. It was unnecessary, uncalled for, and uncouth. It was not my best moment. And you deserve better. I don't always agree with you, but that doesn't mean you are wrong. I hope you'll accept this apology.

So, had a nervous breakdown, spent some time in a treatment center...now, spending my first night in a men's shelter. Life just keeps getting weirder.

Don't hold on to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.

Well, through some fault of my own, I find myself homeless again. The Midwest experiment did work out as I'd hoped and now I'm looking for a new place to land. So, you might not hear from me as much as usual, but I'll do my best to keep up with email and DMs.

ouch. Bloomberg reports that Microsoft only has 2 GW of AI compute running. Where are all those chips they bought from Nvidia? Guys, more and more NOTHING about this industry makes any sense. And I think someone might actually go to jail before it is all over.
