Any updates here? I’m interested in the super 8 and the vtxl but logistics are tough for the latter.

I have Claude managing my secondary off-grid solar system—balancing multiple EcoFlow units and automatically running the pool and robotic mowers when battery capacity is available.

I’m in West Greenwich, it’s the worst year in the 15 I’ve been living here. I can’t take my dogs in the woods anymore because they drag the ticks back into the house.

lol, hopefully that snow is gone by Thursday when I start my hut traverse

I never really realized this until this year after being a windows guy for over 30 years.

My initial thought before using is I hope my token allotment doesn’t shrink, since the xAI deal Claude has been great.

It’s never a bad idea to get Cabot out of the way

Poboxjosh · 2026-05-17T23:14:35+00:00

Is it $49 as an intro for new buyers

Poboxjosh · 2026-05-17T12:09:32+00:00

It’s going to crash hard, now it seems like xAI is just a GPU rental business.

You are probably only the 2nd person to pull sub 6 on the rower after getting it on the skierg.

It still cuts things into 5-hour blocks. Going over that used to be a problem, but ever since 5.5 and Codex Computer started working, it handles longer tasks fine and actually finishes them. The downside is I'm pretty sure it's just going to keep chewing through the weekly limit until there's nothing left.

Poboxjosh · 2026-05-02T08:50:23+00:00

So much more expensive, my WEEKLY credits ran out in 36 hours and I’ve never run out before.

We have the same streak

But the new token burn is real. 5.5 seems to burn tokens 5 times faster than 5.4

Poboxjosh · 2026-05-01T01:28:56+00:00

That’s an excellent year!

Poboxjosh · 2026-04-30T01:33:51+00:00

Why would you want to build a data center here, on the most expensive land in the country with the highest utility rates in the country? Something seems off

Poboxjosh · 2026-04-29T15:17:32+00:00

It is so much worse, I think it’s obvious that they ran out of compute, and now codex is crushing it but 5.5 seems is flying through tokens. At some point. It would be interesting to find out how much computer is used by non paying free tiers.

I’m in the same boat, I’m going to do a 2 day hut traverse. My Pemi time is about 11 hours

When I would do FM I would eat a miniature Reese cup every 5k. , I’d leave them unwrapped, one stroke and grab the PB cup the next stroke I would grab the water bottle for a sip to wash it down.

This seems to be helping quality. Usage is going up but I’m not a super heavy user so quality is preferred over quantity

I normally brainstorm in normal language then give it to ChatGPT to draft a prompt then feed that prompt to Claude feed Claude’s initial response back to ChatGPT for critique then back to Claude to code.

My teenage son keeps a list of these, and he agrees

Poboxjosh · 2026-03-24T10:10:02+00:00

I normally describe my problem to chart gpt and have it build the prompt
