Same for me. I have been max200 for like 10 months, i think my usage is reasonable, and i never seem to get the quality throttling that gets complaints daily. I assume they are targeting certain piggies at the Claude buffet, who then squeal the loudest.
As far as I can tell, the people affected are primarily those using their Claude code tokens for openclaw or similar and burning as many tokens as possible
We are all quickly becoming allergic to AI writing.
To fool us into thinking writing is not AI generated, we will create "human-ifying" filters to the LLM. This will introduce common keystroke, grammar, and spelling issues that surely no automation would ever create on its own.
Soon the writing most vaunted and trusted will be the writing that appears written by a 4 year old with a crayon.
In terms of menace potential, any private plane will lose to a van full of fertilizer and a baddie intent on causing destruction. It's a matter of scale.
Little planes, like this one [1] just don't do damage on the same scale as airliners.
No argument though, just saying it's a hard problem, and the scaling issue makes it somewhat awkward to deploy security resources in proportion to the threat.
I don't have a solution. I'm not exactly thrilled with the current setup, but I try to stay quiet since I can't think of anything better.
Government building codes already anticipate the "van full of fertilizer" attack, as a result of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. Federal building security is a separate matter though, with its own agency called FPS that predates DHS and TSA by decades.
I daily a M1 Max / 64GB / 2TB and have for some time.
My current company bought me an M4 Pro / 24GB / 512GB.
There is a significant amount of dust on it. I use it every once in awhile when I need to access my corporate Apple ID which is tied to the thing. I'll be really sad if they force me to use it on the daily. Luckily nobody seems to be checking usage.
I know it's not what you asked, but I think it's where you're headed -- an adequately specced Mac instead of two half-spec. :) I can't imagine splitting a workload between two physical machines again -- like when I needed a PC and the M1. It's a real PITA to juggle boxes.
One of my favorite books -- I had no idea there was a real-life inspiration for it (Balzampleu!) This will get me to re-read it, it's been too long. :)
I was aware that Aramis and of course the various royals and aristocrats were real, but not the individual soldiers. Loved this novel growing, seems like the Count of Monte Cristo is seen as more 'serious' literature, but the Three Musketeers will always have a special place in my mind.
You nailed it! The only way I could possible believe in any constraints on the free market is that I am Monty Python's cartoon of a Catholic. Well done.
There is no such thing as a healthy or unhealthy society. Only money. This guy made a lot of it. What a hero. All of us here on the orange site should aspire to his level of genius. Ha ha ha funny songs, silly walks.
Regardless one of the conditions surely is giving them permissions to sell this to starlink as and everyone else. So whether the information is the same is probably irrelevant, how they are using it is.
Probably, because you are now associating your internet browsing with your personal information. (I don't know if they have the sophistication to actually do this, but it is very possible.)
