Update: @Chase was worthless. Because the account has now been closed for more than 30 days, they say they can't do anything to help. She has other active credit cards with Chase right now that they could simply reassign the 153k points to but they refuse to do so.

@Chase closed my wife's credit card account and she lost 153k Ultimate Reward points we were planning to use for an anniversary trip. Customer service did nothing to help, nor did submitting a letter in writing to them. What an awful way to treat a customer of over 20 years.

@levelsio On average, I pay around 9 cents per click. And after a year, Google started raising some of my landing pages to the first page of results. It takes time, but it's very doable even without a following.

[Scott | Free Speech Dev 🇺🇲 @scottdotnetdev]

@levelsio I have zero social media presence like many indie hackers, so went the route of ads. Ads provide immediate traffic and you can dial it up or down as you're iterating quickly, fixing bugs, etc. it's common to hear they're too expensive, but that's not my experience at all.

@kenwheeler FL can count 12 million ballots and have results 3 hours after the polls close. This is the only way to have confidence in election results. CA is electorally incompetent at best, or corrupt at worst. Either way it needs to be fixed.

@zachtakeitback @end3of6days9 That's called a char and what you want on your steak

@ibuildthecloud VS Code is great, nothing wrong with it. GitHub Copilot is the issue.

@BenjDicken C# would have been second or third on that list, smh

@tspooky @TheDemocrats @kwelkernbc @JoeBiden A lot of people are shaking their heads that he went on her show, but he did it to continue to expose the corruption and partisanship of the legacy media.

@zpty2 @pierceboggan I'm good with that as long as it's a thinking model with reasonable pricing model.

@KevynDrago It's hard to imagine a more retarded response than yours. Why bother even answering

@scottbuscemi Unbox it first. It will fit.

@Sierra_rak The kitchen gets a portion of the tips, the hostess who bags the food, gets utensils, condiments, drinks, etc also gets a portion of the tips. I do at least 10% on all takeout.

@BaltimorePeace @unusual_whales I couldn't disagree more, unless you want China and Russia to destroy us someday. We're idiots if we put restrictions on AI and do not build out compute as fast as is humanly possible.

[Scott | Free Speech Dev 🇺🇲 @scottdotnetdev]

@pierceboggan When will VS Code get MAI-Thinking-1? Flash is fine, but there is a huge gap to fill for more complicated prompts.

[Scott | Free Speech Dev 🇺🇲 @scottdotnetdev]

@pierceboggan It's conservative on token use, that's a plus, but that's probably because it's not a thinking model. Very basic tasks it's done ok with, but anything with a hint or complexity I've had to use Auto or a smarter model. Does decent with git related requests. Not very fast

[Scott | Free Speech Dev 🇺🇲 @scottdotnetdev]

@BaltimorePeace @unusual_whales She was one of about 350 people that had a hand in that code, but to your point, education still plays a role, but AI is completely changing the rules about what is important in terms of learning. Memorizing algorithms, design patterns, and syntax matters much less now.

@nonlinear_james @milan_milanovic I looked at that as an option as well. About $2k more than the GMKtec but maybe more future proof.

[Scott | Free Speech Dev 🇺🇲 @scottdotnetdev]

@nonlinear_james @milan_milanovic Nice rig. I'm seriously considering a standalone device like the GMKtec EVO-X2. Should be able to run most models well with good speed, and use the cloud for only really hard problems.

[Scott | Free Speech Dev 🇺🇲 @scottdotnetdev]

@imMicahD @cursor_ai I've noticed the same thing this past week. No clue why it's happening

[Scott | Free Speech Dev 🇺🇲 @scottdotnetdev]

@nonlinear_james @milan_milanovic Same boat. I tried the new Gemma 12B in LM Studio and it was still too slow on my 32GB laptop. Never heard of Devstral but will give it a shot. Something local for simple inference is a huge gap right now
