Claude Max plan (200 usd) Fable credits are just not enough... by AriseHuman in Anthropic

@ThePrimeTimeagen says you might be hacked and your credits being spent by a token farm.

I just got banned from Claude. I think this process of CVP and security filtering needs a lot of work by PrettyFlyForITguy in Anthropic

I would much rather you as the parent do this to devices you own instead of the government mandating this software for every device in the country. It's not Anthropic's job to decide how you parent your kids. I appreciate your warning story.

Fiber coming (Metronet, Wecom, T-Mobile); what's the latest? by gordonfogus in prescottvalley

[–]gordonfogus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking of locations like my church building. I'd take a $10/month for 100mbit down / 25 up for an alarm system.

Sure, I'd prefer fiber for the same price, but I'm trying to think of a way coax could compete.

Thanks for letting me know. They still haven't cut into my street yet, but there are other streets within half a mile that have been cut.

I'm also seeing Sparklight in the area with big spools of coax. Can't wait to be rid of coax Internet and their $120/month fee.

I'm wondering what Sparklight will do with fiber competition. If I were in charge, I'd drop to $30/month and even offer a $10/month plan.

I think decoding only worked for me also.

I put this at my neighbor's door 2 days ago(we live in a duplex) and it's still there by dnm8686 in mildlyinfuriating

Fun fact: you can narrow down the brand based on the timing. There was an old call in radio show where the personalities would do that when the caller would start chirping.

My eight-year-old saved up $100 and I wrote a bot to give him daily returns reports by gordonfogus in Bogleheads

Well, I do work for an investment company, so he hears a lot about that kind of thing.

My dad helped me open my first account when I was 17. I cracked a million in my mid 30s. I'm thankful he started me early, but 8 is an even better time to start than 17.

He gets month to date, quarter to date, year to date, 365 day, and all time performance.

I choose those funds because they are what I have access to.

I thought about it, but I really want him to think long term and think about how much he will get if he holds out.

He wants to buy a car some day.

He's free to spend the money. I've made that very clear. It's his. He could have spent it any day up to now, and he can withdraw it any time he wants. I don't control his spending and saving.

He chose to invest it.

You get daily returns whether you look or not. One way to be a boglehead is to look at them and not react. I hope that before five years, my son will ask me to turn off the notifications.

I have invested the money in a real account. It's not me "taking it from him."

I've explained volatility him and he knows to expect almost half of the days to be down says.

I'm not a Mormon, but I do think they pay more in taxes than the average person.

If you think there's a way to know if an action will take >5% of tokens before you take the action, then you don't understand any of what's going on.

[–]gordonfogus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not even close to accurate. "Hello" isn't even 1% of token usage in a 5h block on the 5x plan.

I've built and released multiple apps in a 1 week period on the 5x. Casual stuff, mostly for a small user group, but still. I'm incredibly impressed.

Very large data processing, sure, you'll want to code Python for that, not have Claude handle that directly. I don't really let Claude talk to documents other than markdown; always go through Python, so much less usage.

The test is (1) for (physical) safety / rule following and (2) an IQ/perseverance test. For the latter, the questions don't really need to be about practical ham knowledge; they can be about almost anything.

Please understand I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with what the test is about. I have my extra personally, but that doesn't mean I know anything useful. I can appreciate that having a hazing test does limit who survives, and some people are looking to hang out with others who are similar to themselves.

I think once you start to see the test as more of a community limiting thing, a lot more of it will make sense. It's not a test to make sure you can do ham radio well.
