The joys of SI tuning: I'm staring here at this sea of diffpairs that I need to get optimized before I order the board.

But if I jump too fast and start making changes before I'm done tweaking I might have to rip up and reroute 16 transceiver lanes *again* lol

In the observed case: 1.2M+ tokens consumed in ~30 minutes on a task that should have been git clone + find . -name '*.sol'. The recursive agent tree was still growing when observed.

In another instance, this same pathological behavior consumed an entire Pro Max 20x plan 5-hour session token limit in under 5 minutes (4 million tokens consumed).

Netgear just informed users of its older Orbi mesh routers that the gear had reached "end of lifecycle" -- another way to say "arbitrary end of security updates". Options? None really, except to buy new routers or eventually be hacked.

Do you own an EV? It'll work until the car maker says it won't.

Small businesses, please stop using corporate social media as your only online presence.

I’d happily visit a website that looks like it was designed in the 1990s if it meant I could actually scroll down and see your address, hours of operation, etc.

It doesn’t have to be pretty, just functional.

It would be really helpful if you also included common allergens for your food and drinks (if relevant) and how accessible your location is for disabled folks.

Some years ago, I needed to get an visa for urgent travel to China, a process that required me to fly down to SF and stand in a very long line at the Chinese consulate. When I finally handed the woman there my forms, she promptly stamped them and said "you need to take these to Window 2", pointing around the corner. So I walked around the corner...

...where *the same woman* swiveled her chair around and proceeded to check the stamp that she had just applied.

I would have been annoyed if I wasn't in so much awe at discovering the purest form of bureaucracy.
