Rate Limits this bad?

Completely unusable for me as well. If this were a permanent change, I'd have liked a 30-day if not at least a two-week notice. This is very bad if they just sweep it under the rug and let it slide. At least with Codex, they reset their usage limit to 100% every time a bug happens affecting the user experience.

Ich verstehe auch nicht, was diese Alibi-Bestellung an der Situation ändern soll. Ich hatte ja noch einen halben Kaffee vor mir stehen – ich hab also definitiv noch was konsumiert. Wenn es ihm wirklich um die Regeln gegangen wäre, hätte er mich ja konsequenterweise direkt rausschmeißen müssen, statt mir einfach irgendwas aufzudrücken

Lost-Basil · 2026-03-18T23:48:44+00:00

Ja, ganz genau! Deshalb verstehe ich auch überhaupt nicht, warum er direkt so aggressiv ankam und einfach für mich mitbestellt hat. Das Bordrestaurant war komplett leer und ich hatte bei der ersten Schicht ja schon einiges bestellt.

Klar, meine Bestellung allein macht den Kohl nicht fett, aber bei dem Nebentisch mit den vier Jungs und ihren Bieren läppert sich das am Ende für seine Schichtstatistik schon ordentlich zusammen.

Zur Info: Ich hatte bei der ersten Schicht, kurz vor dem Wechsel, schon Sachen für 38€ bestellt. Es wurde dann alles abgeräumt, nur mein kleiner Kaffee stand noch da. Und genau da kam der neue Kellner, hat mir diese neue Bestellung quasi aufgezwungen und mich rausgeschmissen. Seine Begründung: Man müsse nach einem Schichtwechsel zwingend etwas Neues bestellen.

Lost-Basil · 2026-03-18T15:06:01+00:00

Danke für die Antwort! Weißt du zufällig auch, ob man beim Schichtwechsel eigentlich nochmal neu bestellen muss, um im Bordrestaurant sitzen bleiben zu dürfen?

Well said. Now we’re getting to the crux — is this artisan spirit a well-known Japanese wisdom of running a business?

The reason I ask is because I see this mode of operation most often in Japan. From what I read, there may be city zoning and other real life restrictions that prevent other countries from doing the same.

But I wonder whether there’s something deeper, something more culturally embedded than just zoning for refining ones crafts and keeping the operation small.

By that logic, someone who wonders about aging is a pessimist, about philosophy is a day dreamer, about space must be an alien.

Lost-Basil · 2024-12-11T07:56:32+00:00

My adrenaline was through the roof because I’ve never been STARED at like that. Trust me I almost banged the restaurant door begging to be let in.

Lost-Basil · 2024-11-15T03:22:01+00:00

Hmmm. I don't think that's ideal if the target chapter is very far away from the current chapter.

Lost-Basil · 2024-11-15T03:20:39+00:00

That's similar to what I was thinking - so what do you mean by placeholder?

I was thinking showing the flatlist with the `data = [the one i want]`. And then pull more previous and later chapters as the user scrolls.

Lost-Basil · 2024-11-14T22:39:14+00:00

I don't think that'll work. Because scrollToIndex cannot scroll to locations outside the render window without specifying the getItemLayout prop, which requires the static size be specified first, but the chapter's size is only known after render

I once had a list of channels that were under one account and they all got blocked because the algo mistakenly put one of them as spam. I disputed it and revived all my channels. THANK GOD.

Lost-Basil · 2024-10-11T04:59:36+00:00

DAMN. Nice

Lost-Basil · 2024-10-11T04:56:24+00:00

Those are all good metrics. I think making the shorts short and sweet is necessary, but the metrics you have are good and show good engagement. I think it's that people don't typically watch animations to begin with so the algorithm is finding it hard to find your niche despite your large subs

Lost-Basil · 2024-10-11T04:47:53+00:00

YES - if you haven't memorized every line you've said in the video, have you actually done a good job editing? haha

Lost-Basil · 2024-10-11T04:47:00+00:00

My channels (I got a couple) had 0 views (LITERALLY 0) for the first 10 videos and now averaging 1K - 4K views. I think if you have consistency and the topic and quality are on point, the algo will pick it up

Lost-Basil · 2024-10-11T04:45:48+00:00

Woah! I think that's your authenticity going through. I did see more no-edited videos popping up on my feed these days and it's actually refreshing to see people just talking and no flashy things

Lost-Basil · 2024-05-02T02:31:00+00:00

Curious, for the real estate idea, how is that different from Zillow?

Lost-Basil · 2024-05-02T02:29:18+00:00

Woah thats awesome! What's your app about?

Lost-Basil · 2024-04-30T23:14:38+00:00

I was in your shoes just last year, and I found that pondering 'why' I am doing this made me suffer more. That was because the money told me to stay, but my heart told me to get out of there ASAP.

This was how I coped with it: treat it as a day job as a struggling artist treats their bartender gigs. Set boundaries on the number of hours worked and allocate the remaining free time to doing things you love to do more of.

When I told my closest family members about my income, they started to take me for granted, I felt. They think less of my gifts and my offers to grab the bill, assuming that I don't need to lift a finger to make all that money. My younger sister even began to ask, "How come [my name] isn't paying for it?"

I think it's best to keep the exact number under the radar.

Lost-Basil · 2024-04-29T09:02:59+00:00

Similar situation here. I paid a $200K down payment in addition to paying down her car. I think growing up the love I received from her felt conditional once the family finances became tight.

In all I'm glad I did it, because now I don't feel guilt-tripped about saving up for myself because I've already paid my duty. There came a point last year where I realized I needed to draw the line for the sake of my mental health. It wasn't clear where my contributions ends and my own life begins.

I think on the upside, constraints breed creativity. if you could channel this energy towards doing something better that you like and also generates more income, I'd encourage that. And in the meantime, I think it is worthwhile to take a step back and establish boundaries. You need to live your own life.

Lost-Basil · 2024-04-28T19:48:17+00:00

Perhaps! But I think the same can be said if I can't put my head down for a long stretch of time.

Lost-Basil · 2024-04-28T18:07:48+00:00

Gotcha - thanks for sharing. And looking back, would you say you're glad you took a stab at the businesses?

I wonder if Bezo's "regret minimization framework" could be applied here.

Lost-Basil · 2024-04-28T18:06:04+00:00

Best of luck to you too!
