Not necessarily. The RTS/CTS pins on the serial port are there for the device to tell the host "stop sending data, I need to process the data already sent"

The reason this doesn't work is that USB adapters don't have those pins, and thus assume you can send it at 30kbaud - not respecting when the device says it must pause sending data.

By introducing a static flow rate below what the CPU can handle, it should theoretically keep the flow rate below the threshold that the CPU starts to choke at

I think we use it differently then, I tend to go heavy on the back and forth.

For speccing things out, I have a back-and-forth with the grill-me skill, break things down into tickets, as well as kicking off subagents. That said, I significantly overestimated the number of human messages I send.

My daily 90th percentile wrt number of prompts sent is sitting at 160 queries / day and average at 97 queries / day.

Ran an analysis of my last 2000 messages, with the following breakdown

Task delegation / execution: 23% Investigation / diagnosis / “what’s going on?”: 21% Planning / architecture / brainstorming: 15% Testing / verification / release ops: 10% Review / cleanup / quality control: 9% Course-correction / constraints / preferences: 8% Agent / ticket / workflow orchestration: 6% Providing context / evidence / pasted material: 4% Social reactions / acknowledgements / vibes: 2% Other: 2%

There's a hard limit of 4 displays on Nvidia, even if they're chained via MST - that is how I have a couple of them already. I don't have the PCI-e slots for a second GPU

A screenshot would still make it clear that that's all you're getting - and no extra chrome etc

Sure, however kids these days often can't socialize irl - should kids be isolated from friends because they're unable to have any private conversations at all?

During times in which I was unable to socialize irl (eg school holidays), and unable to talk to my friends online, I can confirm that the isolation was not good for my mental health.

I enjoyed chatting to Opus 3 recently around recent world events, as well as more recent agentic development patterns etc

Appreciate your explainer, and agreed with you. The way it was written came off to me as "don't worry about the pain you cause others for their sake, avoid causing pain because it'll be bad for yourself"

If you're a man, one of your hardest battle may be not giving in to sexual urges that cause harm to others. History is littered with otherwise entirely brilliant men who succeeded at everything but this. You must succeed.

I'm not sure I like the framing of this
