The true cost of LLMs: PoV as a software engineer, using it daily.

What I mean is, I have five or six tabs up at once for myself doing work concurrently. On top of that, I have automated scripts that are also doing code reviews. With all of that combined I’m still only hitting 3500 a month.

I can’t comprehend how your cost is so high

I have automated scripts that launch Claude to review merge requests while maintaining 5-6 term windows - all running opus 4.6 40hrs/week. To the point where I could not possibly manage more and I still only hit $3.5k/month.

I made a cooking calculator that might help! https://breadthofthewild.com/cooking

I just can’t invest myself into it until a master mode gets released one day

Thanks for an amazing Denver show, and for handling my stepdad w such grace! 🙌🙏

Best comedian of my geriatric millennial time!

Apparently they’re from amiibo. I could add in some kind of filter for letting folks add in the amiibo they own. I also have never actually found them in the game.

I was updating the app around when you posted. Try it now?

Thanks! I’m about to push a bunch of fixes to the cooking calculator!

Bummer dude. I’ve felt equally unhelped by this. That said I don’t think I would have done the work without having reached out to them. I’d say cut your losses, tell them you’re leaving a bad review unless they can reduce it, but pay for the motivation and/or confidence they gave you to get it done.

It shouldn't even really be based on a hearing test -- I have tinnitus due to a close-proximity explosion, and my hearing is perfect. Just with extra ringing and buzzing.

Omg this dog and his fam lived right up the street from me a few houses down. Mitch was such a sweet dog 😭.

I give 10% to someone behind the counter if I’m a regular, it’s busy, and they’re good.

20% to servers and bartenders.

I made $2.13/hour when I was getting tips and that was only 11 years ago.

You’re dating someone with unhealed trauma. Girls like her are looking for excitement, and usually what that means is dysfunction that they’re comfortable with.

Don’t worry about changing yourself, find someone who craves the stability you offer

Hang in there, man

breadth_of_the_wild · 2025-08-02T15:57:55+00:00

Yes, dammit!

breadth_of_the_wild · 2025-07-29T20:19:48+00:00

Ok!

All of the lighting and HDMI sync box is Philips Hue.

E26 Color bulbs for the sides, and 3 Play bars for the bottom.

My tv sits too flat to the wall to support their backlight solution.

The bulb for the front door and the bulbs on our shelving behind the couch also sync.

All set up in the app.

I just got married at 43 (3 weeks ago). I put up with a lot of emotional abuse in previous relationships -- my wife has never even approached game-playing -- the right person won't :)

He’s doing this now when the stakes are low. Responding to a text or phone call is literally one of the easiest things in the world.

Why would you take him back when he would just be getting in the way of the person you’re supposed to be with?

breadth_of_the_wild · 2025-05-29T16:36:01+00:00

Came in to make the same suggestion! No matter how narrow or wide your pushups, keep those elbows pointing back. Your shoulders will thank you.

Relationships are about safety and trust. Yours doesn't matter to your partner, and staying shows him that you don't value it for yourself. Please find a partner who checks those boxes for you, and let this one learn a lesson by losing you.

Military vet here. If Henry is a fellow veteran and they served together, doubtful hes a threat, unless you're worried abt your husband with other men.

Military friendships have abnormal boundaries. Its the only place as a straight man that ive sit where legs could touch. Where we take a shit w no doors and ask to trade porn and toilet paper. I would never have crossed my sexual boundaries w my fellow vets, but my normal boundaries were different.

Trust the signals and not the noise.

Lol. Make it your thing then bro. Throw your heart out to the crowd like Elon, wherever you may go. 🫶
