every once in awhile I'm reading a Pulitzer winner (esp. fiction) and at the beginning I'm thinking "how did this win that year?" and then by the end of the book I think "wow, I've never read anything like this before"

:D that's like my Claude where it loves to point out that I have an ADU in the backyard in unrelated situations.

I've stopped trusting these "trust me bro" benchmarks and just started going to LM Arena and looking for the actual benchmark comparisons.

I doubt this is representative of real world usage. There is a difference between a few turns on a web chatbot, vs many-turn cli usage on a real project.

Yes but not a pickup please

Pickups are a fine place to start. If they’re successful they’ll add other kinds of cars over time. Building a whole new car company is extremely risky. Picking the first model correctly is extremely important. I hope they got it right. My gut says plenty of reasons to think they did.

pickup culture sucking the life out of our car industry. give me real cars

But they have merch! Hats, apparel!

Why are you mad that they're trying to build brand recognition?

I get there's been plenty of vaporware cars in the past but by all signs Slate is making real progress towards delivering actual vehicles.

Who’s mad? Merely a joke. I’m looking forward to the Slate truck.

does anyone have recommendations on replacing CC with something else for around $20-30 / month?

I left cursor and went back to VS Code b/c the editing experience is basically the same and cursor was adding more and more agentic features which don't appeal to me. I'm a happy Claude Code user and having my code separate from the planning/brainstorming part of the task makes implementing its own step with me driving/writing the code.

but you'd wait only long enough for a version that's good enough, not forever.

because they're brand fonts, none of them feel great to write more than a headline with

Is your phone connected to the router through a cable or wirelessly?

They can do both - cable or bluetooth. Don't think wifi

I want something like this for Plex, where I can just turn it on and have some of my favorite shows play random episodes, and I wish Plex made that easy to do.
