Paying $100/month and using Opus 4.8 all the time to get my work done. I had a brief look at fable (when it was available the 1st time) but it burned my allowance to fast. So I keep paying the $100 for Opus and enjoy friction-less uninterrupted work.

I'm usually at 60-70% usage at the end of a 5 hour window, that's the pace where I can still think about what to delegate and what to expect and verify the results. Could probably go faster but that would have a significant impact on output quality.

I would have expected at least a few sample real-world photos on that page.

I wonder why this is a thing nowadays. I use yocto for embedded devices and it was almost a no-brainer to implement reproducible builds. I can also easily enable Debian package management, so everything is already available.

Google’s Android app uses share.google as a link shortener for shared URLs. That was already controversial; now the links appear to be broken in regular browsers because share.google currently serves a TLS certificate for a different hostname.

No, coal and oil is not. Since we have micro organisms that can consume wood, coal and oil will never be produced again.

During the Carboniferous period, massive amounts of plant matter accumulated to form coal because microorganisms and fungi had not yet evolved the ability to break down lignin, a tough, aromatic polymer in woody plants.

I'd like to run my personal DNS server for privacy reasons on a cheap VPS. But how can I make it available to me only? There's no auth on DNS, right?

No, the next generation queens grow in that swarm and learn it there. All swarm members learn it. To the queen (or the first few workers) you teach it. The rest learns from the others. But the workers are short living (few weeks). The queens live for about a year and can take knowledge in the next year.

I built such bumblebee houses a few years ago with the kids. The flap is essential against a kind of flies that lay their eggs in the bumblebee nest and their caterpillars eats the nest. Either the Queen or the others learn the usage quite fast. Sometimes next generation queens remember it in the next year
