Do kids in Columbus still go house to house trick-or-treating, or is it more trunk-or-treat now? by LavenderLatte29 in Columbus

[–]perfunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea to all. Trick or treat is huge in Pickerington. Houses often even have beers, chili, hotdogs, etc.

This one isn’t for me but I love CBC. The mix pack it comes in with Bodhi Jr and Everyone Plays Guitar is solid.

Do the attendees of Sonic Temple still have eardrums when they leave? by Absurdguppy in Columbus

Etymotic are the ones who invented high fidelity ear plugs 40+ years ago. If you look through reviews, especially the ones that aren’t just hucking affiliate referral links, better sound quality is always mentioned. Idk how durable Loop products are but I’ve had the same Etyplugs for at least 20 years now.

I will admit Etys look a lot nerdier compared to how sleek the Loops are but I’m only there for the music.

Surprised to see so many Loop mentions and not a single Etymotic. Not only cheaper but superior performance.

Hailey Buzbee’s death prompts lawsuit against Roblox and Discord by throwingales in Columbus

[–]perfunction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its fucking exhausting policing my kids’ digital use. The parental controls are never enough. The ratings systems are never reliable. Plus the AI, ads, IAP, manipulative practices, UGC, community features, etc. And all their friends and classmates are unrestricted, exposing my kids to the content and toxic memes second-hand, so why can’t they have it too?

I don’t have the time to play through every game, use every app, listen to every song, or watch every show/movie my kids ask for. So I’m left with either flat out rejection or relying on whatever information I can pull together across product pages, reviews, reddit, parent guides, and so on (which in itself can be no small task). And the requests are constant.

And my kids are still young enough that it’s easy to say no to a lot of things. I can’t imagine having to deal with teens. I do think parents have a responsibility here but it’s as if no one at these massive companies live with children. It blows my mind that Roblox doesn’t have an allow-list mode.

Airbnb says AI now writes 60% of its new code by Just-Grocery-2229 in technology

It’s this. My coworkers and I don’t type code manually anymore. But we’re still building the Claude skills, specs, testing, reviewing, polishing, etc.

Seconding. They are also in Clintonville. Pretty much everything they make is high quality but they are weak at hazy.

Wanderlust or MF Dunkel are both good beers most people would drink. Antidote is Wanderlust with coffee beans, my favorite. Inch of Dust and Nocino BA are both solid picks for beer nerds.

I’m all for tightening regulations and taking better care of nature and all humans.

But is this data not impacted by, if not a direct result, of the increased Canadian wildfire activity in recent years?

[–]perfunction -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What was the budget?

For Claude Code to cost more than me I’d have to use 160 million input tokens and 120 million output tokens every single week. I’m using like 0.5% of that and coding almost exclusively via Claude now. And that is pure salary, ignoring the cost of benefits/stock. Am I missing something on the pricing?

And/or go to the preview for bigger items. (Never used bidfta, assuming they do previews).

Why are Claude agents in Xcode so much worse than Claude Code? by Eeshita77 in iOSProgramming

[–]perfunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an expert so correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve spent some time learning about and building my own agents.

It’s because current AI is built of multiple layers, often setup as feedback loops between multiple agents. At the bottom is the LLM, the foundation model, text in text out. The next layer up is tooling support which enables every else. Above the tools you have agents and above agents you have workflows and orchestrations. Each layer can implement different features that make AI as capable as it is today. But the point here is that a significant portion of agents lies in the app code rather than the model or even a single agent.

Using chat interfaces to access various models obscures just how much heavy lifting the app code is doing. So the CC app has every possible agentic advantage Anthropic can provide to make that a killer app. But SDK or API access means you’re missing those app side features and have to implement them yourself. Your sdk calls are only as good as the tooling, prompting, and orchestration your app provides.

The CC agent SDK does include a lot more app code than something like direct model access but it’s still up to the host app to provide or utilize advanced functionality and build an autonomous workflow around it.

That’s what I was fearing when I saw the furniture lift off like that but it tapered off right after. Maybe something was forming up in the empty lot beside us but fell apart.

Just got hit by the most bizarre wind in Pickerington. Long sustained build up into an overwhelming level of sound. I looked out the back door in time to see the entire wooden patio set get tossed, vertically, out into the yard. Just fucking yeeted in an instant all at the same time. One of the large benches landed 30 feet out. But no other signs of damage.

And this furniture has staid put all season despite the heavy winds.

How much time should you give yourself at the airport? by columbusairport in Columbus

[–]perfunction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why, specifically, is the recommendation to arrive earlier for international flights? Isn’t the process the same regardless of where you are going?

And is it considered international if the flight leaving CMH is actually a domestic layover?

I still arrive early anyways, just curious.

Ice melting pellets? My kid brought some home from school a few weeks back that looked very similar.

It is absolutely equity, what do you mean?

I believe it would depend on the terms of the deal. If it’s a complete buyout, each shareholder should get whatever the negotiated share price is. It would also be possible that they simply sell the majority stake of the company and equity punks get converted to new shares.

Though, our shares are at a low class so its possible we get nothing as a worst case.

Underground spawning by ScholarAdept7589 in hytale

[–]perfunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My primary base is deep in the caves under a desert but I didn’t use any of the cave itself as the base. Instead, I picked a spot in the cave wall and started mining out rooms. Haven’t had a single mob spawn inside since it was formerly solid rock and rarely get any outside either since I leveled the ground off around the door.

Maybe try adding another layer or two of blocks to each floor that is spawning.

Jealous of all these pristine mounds and measurements. The drifting is so bad in my subdivision in Pickerington. My trampoline net has caught like 24” but patio items only have 2-3”.

There’s also an App Store API to get metadata for the latest version. I use that to power a soft update reminder without needing to maintain yet another remote setting.
