@amyvanwinkle Love this. The river was raging this time. About double the volume as normal from what I understand. Water was chocolate brown. Hermit rapids pictured

[Jon Baker @jonpbaker]

@amyvanwinkle Awesome- down Boucher. Hermit creek, hermit rapids, monument creek, salt creek, havasupai gardens. Over six week long trips I’ve covered everything in the canyon except for north rim trails down and royal arch loop. A special place ❤️

@bradford_hardin This is the sixth year! Have done all major trails except one section. Highly recommend.

@cathrynlavery Why not just wear a headset?

[Jon Baker @jonpbaker]

@amix3k Disagree. Ask my wife who’s non tech

@zachware @meetgranola @WisprFlow Nice

I think that @meetgranola dictation is better than @WisprFlow on Mac... as soon as they support iOS I'm going to say adios to Wispr

[Jon Baker @jonpbaker]

@CoachDanGo Which exercises

[Jon Baker @jonpbaker]

@jim_brown @meetgranola @WisprFlow I like granola better. Got annnoyed with Wispr

[Jon Baker @jonpbaker]

@zachware @meetgranola @WisprFlow I’m talking about the voice typing- do you have access to that already?

@mountainwesttax I just paid 2k for a 32gb. Decided I wanted more to future proof and run a small local model. But this is an awesome price

@boulderpolice Good work @boulderpolice

Here’s the grok summary:

Partly yes — it was a confirmed glitch (dashboard/metering issue), with a separate cost-related factor.
On November 1, 2026, many Grok Bot (@bot) users reported sudden jumps to 100% (or near it) on their weekly usage meters, often with bots idle or only minimal activity. Some meters flipped in real time (e.g., between ~77% and 100%).
This aligned with a Billing and Usage Dashboard degradation reported on https://t.co/BDQCe9l2O9. Official Grok responses and Cursor support (who handle related Grok Bot issues) noted that such sharp jumps without matching work shouldn’t happen and that the incident could produce inaccurate full-usage readings. The dashboard issue was investigated and later marked resolved; the status page currently shows no active incidents.
Separately, Elon Musk posted in response to users asking for resets: “The cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue.” This pointed to underlying cost pressure (Grok Bot is resource-intensive as an always-on agent). Some users later saw meters drop (e.g., 100% → ~50% or similar corrections), and there were earlier similar reports in mid-October that Musk said he was looking into.
In short: the sudden idle spikes to 100% were largely a confirmed metering/display glitch that has been addressed. Tighter effective limits for some users also appear tied to the high serving costs Musk mentioned. Check Settings → Usage & Billing in the app for your current reading and reset time, and contact [email protected] with screenshots if the numbers still don’t match your actual use.

After helping grow Dutch Bros past 1,000 openings, here's the lesson nobody wants to hear:

The site picks the winner before the barista ever does. Stacking room, an easy right-in, the going-to-work side of the road. Miss those and no menu saves you.

Drive-thru success: the site or the operator?

I’ve had two different conversations recently with c-level leaders in businesses between 10-25 million in revenue. Neither one is currently utilizing AI in any meaningful way. They were surprised to hear about what it can do and how I was using it.

Despite what we see on X, the diffusion into the wider economy is still so incredibly early.
