Fable 5 Is Back 21 days ago

If you use Claude Code, there are plenty of projects/tools that let you see what your usage would have cost at API rates, then you can cross-reference that to your "usage" in Claude. I run through enough token in a few days for the subscription to pay for itself.

But I agree that advertised visibility into this would be nice, so we could compare the different providers up-front.

I really like the DM Pro and have it deployed to an office of about 50 people. It's a pretty no-fuss solution and fairly simple to manage.

For my personal setup, I decided to go with OPNSense and I couldn't be happier. Much more control, at the cost of being a little more hands on.

I think the best (rough) comparison here is MacOS vs Linux (or more accurately in this case, FreeBSD).

On every keyboard I get, I swap the switches out for silent tactiles[0][1] that I've selected through trial and error. Quiet is really nice (my mouse clicks are louder), but the way they feel is fantastic.

I wish there was a brick and mortar that let you try out a good range of these switches. Places like microcenter have the popular standard choices, but there's so many other switches out there that are just worlds different.

I was implementing OSM the other day (with attribution of course) and noticed Carto seemed to be one of the only players with good dark tiles.

Seems like we can't use them for free, even with attribution, unless I get a grant?

I use the g305, and have to replace it roughly once a year because the scroll button eventually stops working. I've been through 5-6 of them. Regularly on sale for around $25.

Wish I could find a better mouse I like as much as this one that I didn't need to pay a yearly subscription for. It's just the right size, lightweight, wireless, and being able to store the customizations to on board memory is nice.

lead to customers moving elsewhere

Since they're no longer accepting new enterprise clients, maybe this is intentional.

I've done this a few different ways.

I started with a docker container that connected to both the VPN provider and tailscale. Now OPNSense is handing a few connections to the VPN provider at a couple locations around the world, and enforcing external traffic to be routed to the VPN connections via VLAN tags (untagged has direct internet access).

Using the VPN provider can either be adding a VLAN tag to a machine/container or connecting to a "vpn-{location}" tailscale exit node.

If the pretraining rumors are true, they're probably using continued pretraining on the older weights. Right?
