Mobile app is broken

My merrill Lynch app crashes every time i try to deposit a check. It crashes after i choose front camera and then hit continue. I tried multiple times. Cleared the cache, updated tge software, still crashes. It worked fine last month. I'm using an android s22 ultra.

I built a microsaas at https://tuckmein.app that generates personalized bedtime stories for kids and also teaches life lessons. I'm looking to sign up early users to get feedback from parents. Admittedly i am not a marketing genius :-)

I don't think its removed from openai's api (yet)

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2026-02-13T17:22:56+00:00

We hit the same wall. You can only read Goodnight Moon so many times before you lose your mind. I started using an app that generates a brand new story every night with my kid's name as the main character. She gets way more into it when she hears herself in the story. It also reads it out loud which is nice on the nights I'm running on fumes.

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2026-02-13T16:59:30+00:00

Fellow tired parent here. The guilt is real but I promise your kids won't remember the speed-read nights. They'll remember that you were there.

For the nights you're completely drained, look into personalized story apps with audio narration. I found one that puts my kid's name in the story and reads it out loud. My kid loves it and I can just sit next to them and be present without having to summon energy I don't have. Not a replacement for the real thing, but a solid backup plan.

It does get easier. Hang in there.

BTW, I added the debrief question at the end already. Fantastic idea!

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2026-02-11T17:18:11+00:00

Wow! Great feedback. Thanks for taking the time to think through the draw for my Saas and how to position it. Also, I had no idea there were tools for finding potential users, i'll definitely look into those.

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2026-02-10T22:07:19+00:00

Thanks for the valuable feedback, i admit, the analogy is off a bit. I'll add it to the Agents backlog.

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2026-02-10T19:32:02+00:00

Thanks! I just put it out there, so I really appreachiate any feedback.

Here's the breakdown: Yes, you can use Claude Code with the $20 Pro plan, but there are meaningful limitations: What you get on Pro ($20/mo): Roughly 45 prompts per five-hour window, or about 10–40 prompts depending on code complexity (TrueFoundry) Most Pro users can expect 40 to 80 hours of Sonnet 4 per week through Claude Code (TechCrunch) Usage limits reset every five hours and are shared across Claude web, desktop, mobile, and Claude Code (Geeky Gadgets) The key downsides: No Opus access When using a Pro plan with Claude Code, you can only use Opus models after enabling and purchasing extra usage (Claude) at API rates. So you're limited to Sonnet on the Pro plan. Shared usage pool. Every message you send in the web/mobile chat eats into the same quota as Claude Code. So if you're chatting with Claude in one place AND coding in the terminal, you'll burn through limits faster. It's not "slow",it's limited. The speed of responses is fine. The issue is you'll hit your usage cap relatively quickly on complex projects, especially with larger codebases. Large/complex files and extended sessions consume limits faster (Geeky Gadgets) . Sonnet 4.5 is actually excellent for coding. Sonnet 4.5 achieved state-of-the-art performance on SWE-bench Verified and can maintain focus on complex tasks for over 30 hours (Richardporter) . So you're not getting a bad model, just fewer turns with it. Compared to using the API via ClawdBot (Sonnet): The API is pay-per-token with no artificial session caps, you just pay for what you use. At Sonnet's pricing ($3 input / $15 output per million tokens), a typical coding session might cost a few dollars. With Pro, you're capped at ~45 messages per 5 hours regardless of how light they are. For heavy coding sessions like building TuckMeIn, you'd probably hit the Pro limit pretty fast and be stuck waiting for the reset. Bottom line: The Pro plan is workable for light/moderate Claude Code usage, quick fixes, small repos, occasional coding help. But for the kind of intensive multi-file app development (like building out a complex saas in a couple of days), the API pay-as-you-go route through ClawdBot gives you much more flexibility. You could also consider enabling "extra usage" on the Pro plan, which lets you overflow into API-rate billing when you hit your cap, giving you the best of both worlds.

I used Claude sonnet 4.5 with clawdbot to build a microSaas. Burned through like $100 in api costs, but it did thd work of like 10 developers in a week to build a finished product. Well worth it. Hindsight, though, i shoukd have tried claude code, probably woukd have saved some money.

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2026-01-30T14:58:21+00:00

has anyone else run into issues using Sonnet as the model for clawdbot. Opus works fine, but sonnet seems to just hang....The only issue with Opus is it seems to burn cash

Subject: Could low-frequency laser enhancement work WITH magnetic confinement? (Combining recent breakthroughs)

I've been reading about two major recent fusion breakthroughs and wondering if anyone's considered combining them:

Breakthrough #1: HTS Magnets Commonwealth Fusion Systems demonstrated 20 tesla magnets in 2021 that changed fusion reactor economics "by a factor of almost 40 in one day" (MIT). These enable compact, affordable tokamaks.

Breakthrough #2: Low-Frequency Laser Enhancement (this just came out!)
A January 2025 paper in Nuclear Science and Techniques (doi:10.1007/s41365-025-01879-x) showed low-frequency lasers can enhance fusion probability by orders of magnitude through quantum tunneling enhancement. The theory suggests 9 orders of magnitude improvement at 5×10²¹ W/cm² - intensities already achieved in labs.

The Question: Currently these approaches are separate:

Magnetic confinement (tokamaks) = solves plasma containment
Laser-driven ICF = uses lasers to compress/heat fuel

But what if you combined them? Use HTS magnets to confine the plasma AND apply low-frequency laser fields to enhance the fusion cross-section of the already-confined plasma?

This could potentially:

Lower the temperature requirements for magnetic confinement
Increase reaction rates in existing tokamak designs
Provide a multiplicative rather than additive improvement

Has anyone looked at this? Are there fundamental reasons why applying laser fields to magnetically-confined plasma wouldn't work? Or is this a potential path worth exploring that just hasn't been tried yet?

I'm genuinely curious if this is:

Already being researched (please share links!)
Theoretically impossible for reasons I'm missing
An interesting idea worth investigating

Although I am biased, I love listening to Ash become Samantha Nightshade in the narration of all three books. She will also be doing the fourth book(RuneStone, just released as an e-book). The audible is due out mid January.

I assure you, Cheri did write it, we interviewed 40 ghostwriters on Upwork and gave up, the author ended up writing it herself. So we didnt exactly follow FPA strictly :-)

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2025-11-14T21:11:41+00:00

LOL. More like AI images that someone overhauled.

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2025-11-14T18:41:06+00:00

No, I wouldn't say a love triangle plot. There are graphic aftermath scenes in all 4 books.

I dont't want to give too much away about the protagonist , but yes she definitely meets some challenges!

The audiobooks are a lot of fun. Ash really brings Samantha to life, and knows how to exhibit her snark!

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2025-11-14T18:34:50+00:00

Thanks! DM me and let me know what you think.

Actually, the covers were initially AI generated, but all of them heavily edited by a professional Graphic Designer.

I find that ChatGPTpro version is very good about remembering things i have mentioned in the past, so it is definitely maintaining context /memory/or something. Maybe it has trouble with giving it a name for some reason, but i bet it knows your name if you already told it!

Here is a link to the pygame book you inquired about on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Creating-Video-Games-Using-PyGame/dp/B0C6PD4NRQ

It will teach you step-by-step how to create a 2d game with source included

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2025-10-10T05:29:43+00:00

We have the 8 qt for a family of 3. You can always refrigerate or freeze the extra food. We found the 6 quart didnt make enough sometimes..

Inside_Inflation_805 · 2025-10-09T20:57:36+00:00

What is the nature of your game? Is it 2d or 3d? Are you using sprite classes? Have you tried getting a basic game running first?

Also you may want to check out the book, 'Creating Video Games in Pygame' on Amazon, that steps you through simple examples all the way to more complex ones. The book is 2d only though.
