@Shpigford ah yeah that’s a pain. godspeed. the last one like that I shutdown I got mail from a state tax authority like two years later. it never ends.

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

@marclou Sadly I think there is a third explanation

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

Everyone wants to eval their AI, no one will eval their humans.

Seriously: I hear this all the time in the form of "the AI needs to be 100%" accurate. Pull the thread on why 100% and the assumption is always that the humans are 100% accurate.

I'm old enough to have been through enough six sigma processes to know the humans are never 100% accurate.

This flawed premise undermines so many otherwise compelling business cases, all because they set the hurdle unnessarily high.

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

My experience with the batch APIs is great though: they often run completions and embedding much faster than the SLAs would suggest and pricing is very favorable. So big fan of the approach, just suggesting that there is a lot of latent agentic workload demand that could be unlocked with more flexibility and better pricing

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

Next up, spot pricing for lower priority, time-insensitive agentic workloads?

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Introducing OpenAI Guaranteed Capacity: a new offering that enables customers to guarantee long-term access to OpenAI compute.

We’ve made long-term investments in infrastructure, partnerships, and capacity planning to help customers scale reliably.

Now, Guaranteed Capacity helps customers plan ahead for critical workloads in a compute-constrained world.

Heading in the right direction but what I’m suggesting requires support for tool calling and potentially pausing and restarting agentic workflows that don’t run in deterministic time. I think it’s a much harder problem to solve without being able to predict how long a workload will run, needing to potentially reload / restore context / KV cache, etc.

so many infuriating dark patterns with atlassian now. want to cancel your account? sure, just delete 8 different subscription plans first.

oh wait, Rovo can't be deleted through the UI, you have to email sales ops.

okay, now it's time to delete your organization, but surprise, you can't! you have to open a support ticket to remove some other mysterious, lingering product.

click contact support, and you have to first search for self-help (you told me to contact you!), then submit a message to an AI help bot, then it shows a non-obvious link to open a support ticket.

total hotel california vibes. @linear can't win this market fast enough.

@crofts You mostly had me until IWC on the delusional (??) tier

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

@Diet0Nutrition Many users of statins have an increase in cholesterol after stopping the drug because the medication manages liver enzymes rather than addressing the root cause of why cholesterol is high in the first place.

Lots of drugs work like this. So what?

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

big fan of moshi, but besides this being a cool feature, it highlights something i've been thinking about a lot: lots of unexplored opportunity for design discipline to be applied to chat/agentic flows. embedding QR codes like moshi or CC remote control do is one example, but likely just the beginning. we should be thinking about this as a different, rich modality the same way we think about native mobile differently from web

moshi moshi, happy thursday 😽
2.9.3 is out with Easy Pair.

the idea is simple: gen the private key on the phone, install its pub key on the server.

the only question was — how do you make that UX smooth?

here's my answer 👇

this is a Rorschach test and the answer reveals whether you spend more time on Reddit or WSJ

[Reese Politics @ReesePolitics]

Here's the most contentious part of Ryan Cohen's CNBC Squawk Box interview about the GameStop-EBAY acquisition.

This is a HEATED back and forth, uncommon for financial news. $GME

Sorkin, at one point is in disbelief at RC's repetitive answering to his question.

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

wish there was a /performance-review for claude code where i could get a token credit after it gaslights me for 80k tokens about the thing that's broken and how to fix it

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

@odd_joel Take my money! (Seriously, I paid for the lifetime plan yesterday.) Great job, can’t wait to see what you’re cooking next.

@HighyieldHarry tired: mouse jiggler keeping teams status active
wired: keyboard automation that launches excel, keyboard shortcuts to copilot, and asks to rebuild the same financial model it already built 300x

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

@KevinNaughtonJr https://t.co/u8ZXqPGIFL is worth a look. i had cobbled together tmux + cc + tailscale with moderate success, but adding the moshi ios app was a big unlock.

[Chris Hart @ceehart]

claude code trying to prevent itself from making the same mistake in the future: I've added a one-line note on the function docstring so future-me remembers to keep them in sync.

we're nearing AGI, it's just going to look like the guy from Memento
