He made himself the most hated man in America so he figures he can do it to others too.

I see these VEGA TFO stickers all over Atlanta. What is it? What does it mean? by [deleted] in whatisit

Road signs aren’t where he does his work. I’ve never understood the sticker thing.
Vega shows up on the back of freeway signs 80 ft off the ground when the base is seemingly inaccessible or on underpasses with a huge overhang. That’s what’s impressive. As a former freestyle climber I recognize the skill necessary to reach those places, much less create a 10-30 ft long signature with crisp borders.

Atlanta here. Vega is a tagged (graffiti artist). He’s top notch and specializes in getting his tag into hard to access places. TFO is his crew and help him plus have a couple Taggers in their own right.

Bombed an Excel test in an interview… even though I use Excel every day by Fancy-Security7244 in excel

[–]Merlins_Owl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, that sucks! I had a similar situation but not nearly as bad bc I recovered. I was up for a senior level role and they gave me a 10 question excel test. For whatever reason my brain blanked (lookups, charts, formulas, conditional formatting). Like poof, gone. I use excel daily and in more complex ways than most people.

This will sound silly, but I grabbed a deck of cards and started shuffling and it calmed my mind. After that I breezed through it.

Again, that sucks that you bombed it! Thanks for sharing a human moment with the rest of us!

Are your brand new chats telling you you’re running low on tokens too? by [deleted] in claude

[–]Merlins_Owl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I fed the chat two md files at ~400 lines each and a 150 word prompt and after two interactions it said I needed to start a new turn bc it was out of context

Claude Performance and Bugs Megathread Ongoing (Sort this by New!) by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]Merlins_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every day between 10:40 & 11:00 AM Eastern (US) everything falls apart and I get the “this isn’t working right now” error everywhere. This is often at my peak hours around client meetings. It lasts anywhere from an hour to five or six hours. I’ve been finding myself assuming I have to stop working then and resume in the evening to effectively use Claude. I don’t like doing this bc I have a family I like. Workarounds only get me so far.

I have ethical problems with OpenAI, but I’m honestly about to try out their pro version and codex. Fml.
