I built Baton because building multiple features at the same time with agents quickly became a disorganized mess.

Baton makes parallel agents feel manageable and organized, so you can get more done without having your brain explode.

Free to use, no account or signup required.

Qatar airways are doing these insane deals where its actually cheaper to do a 2 day stopover by a 5 star resort in Qatar transferring directly..

Cheapest Bangkok-Oslo route $600.
2 Nights stopover in Hyatt including flights is $553.

Apparently this is possible because Qatar is heavily subsidizing their tourism industry.

@robj3d3 I used to be Codex's biggest hater and a claude code stan, but Codex is just better at this point.

@eddyaipt @robj3d3 AI aah reply

[Tord @tordrt]

@robj3d3 I think subagents are a good way to get subtasks for a task done, I dont think its good for launching new tasks, where Id want a new terminal with claude code in a new isolated git branch to manage myself.

@xabilution @Smoothedan Du tenker det var riktig at George Floyd ble gjort om til en rasesak i den skala det utfoldet seg i? (Milliarder i skader og titalls dødsfall)

Det er ikke mye som tilsier at George Floyd saken skiller seg nevneverdig fra Tony Timpa eller Daniel Shaver. E.g. grov inkompetanse.

@xabilution @Smoothedan Var ikke Derek Chauvin og gjengen hans også et eksempel på komplett ubrukelige politifolk?

@RuthSocial69 @ClamRespector @RichardHanania Many loans allow for paying interest only. So I dont think that makes anything fall apart.

As long as you have sufficient and good enough collateral of course you can refinance, the banks make money on the interest.

[Tord @tordrt]

@ClamRespector @RuthSocial69 @RichardHanania I dont think anybody funds their entire life only with loans, but they can certainly fund a lot with it.

They can use money from the loan itself to pay interest only, they can also refinance loans.

@salty_peanut337 @RichardHanania Everybody who inherits appreciated assets benefits, but very rich people have the benefit in having so much assets that they can get very favorable and large loans using stock as collateral.
After they die their heirs can repay the loans by selling stock tax-free.

[Tord @tordrt]

@RuthSocial69 @RichardHanania The borrow portion is that they can borrow money using stock as collateral and use this to fund their lifestyle. When they eventually die, their heirs can then pay back the loans by selling stock completely tax-free.

[Tord @tordrt]

@salty_peanut337 @RichardHanania Yeah, I agree, thats the "die" part in the buy, borrow, die.

I dont think borrowing on assets is a problem at all. Its actually good.

[Tord @tordrt]

@RuthSocial69 @RichardHanania The US resets the entire taxable value when somebody dies..
So decades of accumulated unrealized gains just vanishes on death.

This is what I meant in that the nordics dont have this "loophole"...

Why is that a load of shit? You can argue that it should be like this. I dont

@Anduril100 Bekjempelse av aids, tuberkolose og malaria, høres hvertfall noenlunde ut som kostnadseffektive mål for bistandspenger.

I motsetning til å prøve å utdanne somaliske pirater..

@RDetector58304 @RichardHanania My profile picture and my name is both real. Im not vietnamese ahaha..

I changed to the vietnam app store to download a chinese app not available in the European app store when I was in china, havent bothered to change back yet.

@RichardHanania High earners, meaning people that have large salaries, but not enormous wealth through stocks, which is what billionaires usually have.

[Tord @tordrt]

@RichardHanania Pretty sure they dont. This is just normal income taxes. Which is more relevant for high earners, than the billionaires..

Capital gains and dividend taxes in the nordics are quite a bit higher.

Also we dont have the "Buy, Borrow, Die" loophole as I understand it.

@patriarchetype @RichardHanania Still 20% of new cars sold in Europe are manual. Its not just old cars. Its can be high end cars like porche 911, but mostly cheap tiny cars, especially popular in southern Europe like Dacias, fiat panda, so on...

[Tord @tordrt]

@yzilber @RichardHanania Basically nothing you said here is true..

Every rental agency will have a mix of manual and automatic, and it has been like this for much longer than 8 years.

You definitely dont need to take manual lessons to rent a car. And the price difference is definitely no that large.

Results from running my first ads:
My most effective ads are doing around 0.7 euro per click, with a click rate around 0.5%.

Cost per lead, which for me is cost per download, seem to be at about 25 euro as of now...
I'll likely need to get under at least 10 eur to break even on the ads. Doable? Not sure, but Ill try..

[Tord @tordrt]

Running my first ad campaing.
Trying out Reddit Ads first.
Will post my results in the coming days.
