My goal in life is to be the most famous person named Jeff Kaminski. Currently that title belongs to the current CFO of KB Home. Jeff Kaminski is now my mortal enemy.

Like we see in the car industry, I foresee this government eventually banning the use of Chinese AI models in an effort to prop up revenue and valuations of US companies

I’m starting to feel like GLM 5.2 might be better than Opus.

I was spending $300/day on Claude. Switched to GLM, spent $3.82 today, and it found and fixed a Claude bug from yesterday.

I honestly can’t tell which is “better” anymore.

“I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.”

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.

I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.

In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.

"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.

"Honey, that's what it looks like."

The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."

I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.

I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.

It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.

"Well?" the waitress asked.

"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."

"Everybody does, hon."

Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.

Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.

I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.

It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.

No notes here. Pure unadulterated perfection. 👏

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

I think the future will be models adapted to be localized and run on personal computers. I believe laptop makers are positioning their products for this already. Offload the compute to personal devices as much as possible to save resources

[Kalani o Māui @MauiBoyMacro]

So you’re telling me that one of the largest hyperscalers out there who has already spent $250 to $300 billion since 2023 is limiting their own employees usage of AI to curb costs?

And that doesn’t strike you as odd?

[Jeff Kaminski : BusinessFloss.com 📖 @HeyJeffK]

Insane that @facebook allows ads that look like Facebook message notifications and when clicked on they go to a URL that runs a script to take over your computer with a threatening voice message demanding payment. Just helped someone this happened to. @finkd you should do better

Me waiting for an absolute bargain so I can actually afford a home in Tampa

[Jason Lewris @jasonlewris]

BREAKING - as of this morning, 12% of Florida's for sale homes are in active fire sale territory.

This means they have been sitting on market, the seller is actively cutting prices and increasing the frequency of those price cuts.

The pressure is mainly concentrated in Tampa and Fort Myers, where fire sales now top 30% of listings in some submarkets.

This means sellers cannot find buyers even though they want to.

@claudeai would win back so much goodwill if every once in a while it allowed you to go over the session limit

For example, if I'm in the middle of a task, it says "You're at the usage limit, Jeff. However, what you're working on is super cool, so let me finish this up for you."

[Jeff Kaminski : BusinessFloss.com 📖 @HeyJeffK]

If you cap it to the initial price of the ticket then it eliminates scalpers since they’d lose move on the transaction fees. Would be such a good move for society

[Tom Bogert @tombogert]

We, as a society, desperately need to make “tickets cannot be scalped or resold” the norm. Or tickets resold with a strict cap on upsell. It’s gotten absolutely insane.

If @claudeai takes forever to generate a file then runs into an error, causing me to retry the prompt, I feel like I should get those original credits back

There will come a day, just like with ridesharing, where the subsidized usage will come to an end. But when everyone is hooked, you’re willing to pay what it takes. Companies will get rid of jobs not bc AI replaces them, but bc they need to fund AI for the better performers

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

Anthropic stealth-tweaked their claude code docs to increase the estimated average that a developer would spend a day from $6 to $13, and the "average for 90% of people" from $12 to $30 a day. Very nice stuff!

I think Bain goes on a generational run straight to the HOF

[NFL Memes @NFLMemes]

I fear the league made a mistake letting Rueben Bain fall to the 15th pick in the draft

[Jeff Kaminski : BusinessFloss.com 📖 @HeyJeffK]

I say this often, but the reason that companies can price gouge is because people keep paying their prices. If people stop paying insane amounts for things then prices will inevitably come down

See how they got everyone trained bc in what world should any concert tickets ever be $450-500?!?!?! A CONCERT?!?!?!?

What is interesting to me is that growing up you would rewatch movies over and over again. But nowadays everything feels single use. This level of craftsmanship felt worth it back then. Hope this level of effort makes a comeback!

It took 6 years for a group of 10 artists to create over 40,000 oil paintings for the Heroic Times (1983) creating a unique animation style.
