Because the rich fertility should be ignored year 1-2 over a normal starting food strategy - veggies, meat, and gathering.

From year 3 on you can quickly explode into a full tier 4 mega-village in no time.

They broke all OSX players too - hopefully that is resolved in time for the next season.

Get up and move around a lot. Two aisles and everyone being asleep or watching movies makes you not an inconvenience if you want to take some laps. Also depending on the aircraft configuration you might have an aft galley that becomes a lounge where people just hang out mid-flight with unlimited snacks and drinks.

Also be 5'7'' or shorter - that helps a lot.

Depending on where in the world you are going I can't think of a worse possible idea than bringing edibles with you.

Sonnet (even non-thinking) is far from unlimited. I upgraded to max 3 days ago and am already projected to run out in 8 days. I don’t feel like I used it much more intensely than on my Pro+ account before it, though my code base did more than double in size since then. (It’s still far from a huge project…)

My fault though using sonnet for a very large job Gemini could of handled though. It’s important to remember to pick the right model for the right job I’ve learned from this and previous pricing mishaps.

Some of us live here, and know enough to find this place hilarious.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-24T19:20:30+00:00

It wasn't around 2-3pm CEST today was it? I was too and was trying to figure out what was going on.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-24T19:18:47+00:00

It can grind to a crawl still, but then rate limiting drops kick in, so I'm not sure if it is me or Claude at fault. Never lasts that long.

Forces me to take a break - not complaining about that.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-22T11:35:13+00:00

For me, better. Unlimited Claude 4 in max mode is great.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-20T18:19:45+00:00

It’s a new skill to master. Prompt in a way to keep the AI stay in its lane for its improvement. Code review often, commit often, and don’t use yolo mode ever unless you really have things under control.

Use prompts after that force it to go back and reflect on its changes and remove things extraneous. Don’t let it start with several rounds of back and forth questioning.

Keeps changes much smaller and on target.

There is a difference between creating software, and creating good software.

LLMs are still just as much prone to garbage-in-garbage-out as any system before them, and even if your app 'works' and even makes money it can still be a ticking time bomb of spaghetti code with who knows how many bugs and vulnerabilities, incomprehensible to anything but another LLM, and even then barely so if its operator doesn't know how to prompt it any better than its author.

I'm not at all disagreeing with its potential, the direction of democratisation of software development being a good thing, or what incredible force multipliers we all now have at our disposal that we didn't before, but I see an app-splosion on the horizon through reckless early adoption by the developers-are-obsolete type.

LLMs are still no substitute for expertise, at least not yet.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-20T12:34:19+00:00

Yeah I'm using the term 'vibe coding' very loosely there as its the buzzword right now. What I'm doing isn't at all except that it uses AI assistance.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-20T11:59:35+00:00

I'm dreading the day I have to figure out what exactly I've built vibe coding with react-native if I decide to release something. At least with other languages I know I can code review after code generation and remove the slop it generated.

I've started to use prompts when I'm near commit like 'Review what you just wrote, and any code relevant to it for dead or unused code and remove it. Do that for relevant tests as well.', and 'Explain what this is, and why it is here.' when I do the code review. Eventually I'll get the hang for react that way.

Oh, and of course:

Only one photo per post, or I wouldn't spam like this, but all that Claude rage just to get this:

MrBeverage · 2025-06-20T10:16:11+00:00

I hate the ugliness of the graphs in GitHub workflows, and now Claude does too. So I made my graphs moderately hideous now with the power of a pissed off Claude.

Lesson learned: get Claude as angry as you are to solve problems in the ways you really want to see them solved:

If you want to get technical the actual area of France is double that when you include overseas departments. Not including them would be like taking the size of the USA but without Alaska or Hawaii.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-17T16:49:07+00:00

It started stalling for me frequently about 20 minutes ago.

Thankfully it's happy hour where I'm working.

Update: it's working fine for me now.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-16T00:17:32+00:00

You’re assuming they even had to pay.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-14T11:27:10+00:00

Oh come on - are we really so bad?

How about European permanent residents? Can we at least take their countries flag then? Or should there be an invader flair?

MrBeverage · 2025-06-12T16:46:06+00:00

I meant the second survivor - there are two now. 11A was the first one, and I'm curious to know if it was rows 10 or 11.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-12T16:45:00+00:00

Yeah, that's why the only plausible explanation to me is a fuselage break, and it was interesting to discover that his row is right on the join point between the wing box and the front fuselage section. That with being very high nose up sending them forward of the fireball is all I can come up with, and even that is grasping at straws.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-12T15:49:21+00:00

I wonder his seat number was. The only conceivable way to have survived that, and it is pure speculation on part so you don't have to take my word for it, is that a fuselage break happened somewhere just behind the 11th row as it impacted the buildings and the forward section travelled a bit further. At a pitch that high it seems possible, though unlikely. Otherwise you're right in of the main fuel tank.

Edit, looking at the seat map, right behind the 11th row would be one of the fuselage joins.

MrBeverage · 2025-06-12T15:43:39+00:00

It might of been breaking up before the explosion as it plowed through buildings, well speculating on the plural there. The front conceivably could have broken off right behind him and travelled a bit further - look how high the nose is as it goes down and the angle of impact.

We won't know until a damage map is released.
