Wouldn’t that invalidate kv cache and you wouldn’t benefit from much cheaper cache read?

I'm frequently idle for five minutes while I review, at which point the cache has expired

I doubt they will match old cache read pricing- that’s most important in agentic coding.

CXL might save us. All the world's old DDR4 to the rescue. Either per box, where the job has to route back, or network attached, where there's now a pool of absurdly fast temp storage.

>> I think they will pull ahead with cheaper tokens similar intelligence

they just increased cache read from 0.30 to 0.50 - this has the biggest impact on agentic coding. Elon companies have the most expensive everything:

xAI sub: $30 when other starts at $20, pro like sub for $300 where other charge $200.

Expensive electric cars, powerwalls, solar roofs when competetive products/better are cheaper.


>Elon companies have the most expensive everything

The Model 3 and Model Y became the highest selling EVs of all time because they were the first below $50K to have long-range and be worth buying.

Until a few years ago, every other sub-$50K EV absolutely sucked.


highest selling is not same as cheap - apple also have the highest selling iphones among smartphones and they are still pretty much the most expensive (and usually not the best either these days).

> The Model 3 and Model Y became the highest selling EVs of all time because they were the first below $50K to have long-range and be worth buying.

And then Musk totally abandoned Tesla's original brilliant game plan of using the luxury models to find actual low-cost models (which $50K is not), and completely ceded the future EV market to Chinese companies that understand how to make a better car than Tesla for less money. BYD sells more cars than Tesla.


> xAI sub: $30 when other starts at $20, pro like sub for $300 where other charge $200.

This is meaningless because you're not controlling for amount of subsidized usage or model quality.


The cache reads are really insanely expensive.

Seems the cache read pricing almost doubled from $0.30 in Grok 4.5 to $0.50 in Grok 4.6.

In my experience in heavy coding sessions most pricing is just cache read and cache write like 80% of my token bill.


didnt the model 3x in size?

no, they said the model is still 1.5T size. Next one 4.7 is supposed to be bigger.

there is another total solar eclipse next year in 2027 in south of spain if the first time not lucky

I'm watching that one in Egypt.

if you want to attract more userbase that's probably the least meaningful copy-text someone can provide. Not only doesn't even in one sentence what sonic pi v5 is but also doesn't explain whats difference between v4 and v5 - I mean what it means more friendly/accessible/fun really?

Not sure if it’s possible to explain this in one sentence - I was just explaining the goals.

As a summary - friendly as in better autocomplete, better error messages. There are vast accessibility improvements for those with low vision and those that use screen readers. It’s more fun for many reasons but stand out ones are support for game controller input, interactive docs and low-friction QuickStart cards.

The post linked goes into more detail and the release notes go even further: https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/releases/tag/v5.0.0


I worked around similar problem just working from coworking space and/or traveling.

For cowork you don’t often have to commute as much (more options around), can arrive late, don’t have to dress to nice. For some you can still change your homebase at least for few months temporarily.

But you can still have physical coworkers (even if you don’t work with them), have chitchat not relate to work, go to lunch together. You can also have routine and separate your professional life from personal one.


The company I work for has an amazing office with free food and beer that is a 30 minute commute in heavy traffic. The allure of sleeping in keeps me home.

Short sellers earn the most when company they bet against is crashing.

On the other hand investors benefit when they competitors are crashing.

For many labor is just expensive cost running company - I can see how some people salivate


Maybe I'm too pessimistic but i doubt how this can work out worldwide. It can work out maybe for some few wealthy countries but in this AI revolutions most likely we will have only 2 winners: USA and China.

Smaller EU countries cannot even today introduce a fair revenue tax on big tech so that they pay any tax without being threatened about retaliatory steps by US administration.


Which is why I still think that the only way forward is that the EU becomes a country of its own. I'm aware that's deeply unpopular, partially due to The forrogn influence, but thr alternative is catastrophic - stagnation and letting US, China and Russia dictate our way of life.

I, too, have come to this realization. But boy, oh boy, do Europeans get disgusted by the idea. (My partner is European)

I’ve never even thought about this - what does the EU get as a country that it can’t get with its current structure?

That's a very large question. I'll keep the answer as short as I can:

* politically, we have a unified economic policy that is working wonders. The Brussels Effect is a thing. But, we don't have a unified foreign and defence policies, which partially made Ukraine War possible, and is making a Russian invasion further in Europe a distinct possibility.

* however, economically, the market is not really completely unified yet, especially for digital services, but for many other branches of economy as well. I can drive through 5 countries in a day, and my Netflix and Play Store selection will be different in every one. That doesn't make any sense.


What does winning even mean for the USA here? I'm not going to benefit if OpenAI or Anthropic become trillion dollar companies, and I sure as fuck won't benefit when more myopic business leaders become billionaires that have some of the most anti-human ideas that decide they want more control of society.

Americans would largely languish if big tech wins, big tech is already profiting of our misery now they want to profit in other domains too?

80% of this country is not going to benefit at all from any American corporations because American corporations have open disdain for workers.


Washing machine was so inefficient whole time, it just heat water and spins. When you had to do by hand the hard decision is when to stop.

I believe there is a lot we can improve in washing machines
