This is fantasticly poetic!

I don't like anything about this.

Thank you for your hard work.


Thank you for this!

That's kagi? Cool, I'm check out out more!


I've got two max 20 plans and totally get value from it.

How does that work? Are you using separate accounts? Do you just max out one of them and then switch to the other one?

We need to run a SotA coding agent basically 24/7 uninterrupted and so far we didn’t find an easy solution for this (you can get provisioned TPUs for Gemini on GCP but it costs a fortune).

Surely that’s possible for under $5k a month? $10k?


Different accounts, different computers. I prompt both at one.

I have a lot of deep/long running skills that eat tokens, and my process is plan>implement>review/fix loop

So I can have anywhere from 6-12 agents going at a time.

With one account I got limited often.


If you guilt me into voting, I'll probably vote for somebody you don't like.

Isn't it better that I don't vote?


There have been multiple times where the final vote count was the difference of a handful of votes. No one is guilting anyone to vote and some will say that neither party represents what they want and that sucks. But ultimately there has to be one side that even if you don't overall like them you would still rather they get elected. So vote for who you think might be best. And if they have policies you don't agree then contact your representative and say "I voted for you but do not want xyz policy". The more who speak up the better.

Doesn't that only reinforce my point?

If I'm going to vote for the wrong candidate, and it's close then isn't even more important that I don't vote?

>But ultimately there has to be one side that even if you don't overall like them you would still rather they get elected I'm not able to respond to this within the confines of the rules here. I apologize is that's not satisfying, but it has the virtue of being the truth.


I'm not American. And surprise: regardless of your reasons you get judged by the government you put in power, since foreign policy is how the rest of us experience your choices.

And your choices are evidently you're completely okay with the current situation as well.


If you want to judge all of the people living in the USA that is of course your prerogative. Or all people in Russia for the crimes of the Russian government, or all people in China for the crimes of the CCP.

I'm not going to be concerned with the opinions of people who generalize to that degree.


> Isn't it better that I don't vote?

Maybe. I'm not actually that invested in people voting. But that doesn't negate the hypocrisy of complaining when you're, through inaction, endorsing the status quo.


Consider this; if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around. I know, they say, they say: “well if you don’t vote you have no right to complain”. But where’s the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent people, and they get into office and screw everything up, well you are responsible for what they have done, YOU caused the problem, you voted them in, you have no right to complain. I on the other hand, who did not vote, WHO DID NOT VOTE. Who in fact did not even leave the house on election-day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done, and have every RIGHT to complain as loud as I want, about the mess YOU created, that I had nothing to do with.

(George Carlin quote - intended to be humorous)


"better" for whom?

For everybody. Since I didn't vote for the wrong candidate I offend fewer people, I get yelled at less and I maintain more friendships.

No. It is better that you vote. For at the end of the day you can:

1. know you tried to express your wishes

2. know that the outcome is because people expressed their wishes

3. realise the balance between 1. and 2. whether the outcome is as you hoped, and especially if it is not as you hoped.

This is important because hanging back and saying "Well I didn't vote for them!" is by default not supporting democracy as your country views it.


Ok, then I could vote for myself next time. Seems like a waste of time for the counters, the registration officers, and all the other volunteers involved.

Thank you for continuing to post these! Very interesting benchmark.

Very well put, and it mirrors my own thoughts.

Free as in freedom!

There is an answer the crypto enthusiasts have to this, but since I'm not one of them I wouldn't do the argument justice.

The short version is, it's about control and power.
