Welp, the under $5k part is debatable (depends on how fast you want the inference to be), and I'm sure there are some things opus 4.5 is better at, but for coding tasks? I never expected to get here so fast ♥️

I'm really hoping that in this decade I can run something as smart as opus 4.5 on less than $5k of hardware at home

Me: hello yeah my fiber is out *1 hour later* ISP: best we can do is a technician appointment tomorrow afternoon. ISP: btw it's only $10 extra per month to double your Internet speed Me: so double of 0?

Yeah so maybe now we talk about the merits of open sourcing your model weights instead of being a single point of failure for access to models

Ugh and now I've hit the cybersecurity filter on Fable while having it work on Reticulum related things. Joy.

Sigh. I guess ultracode and Fable just aren't really usable together

Playing the new Fable 5 game, just got the 95% session usage limit warning. Idk why Anthropic keeps advertising "runs longer unattended" when the $200 max plan can't even handle a single prompt

- Opus model scores statistically significantly worse for a week (tracked on marginlab.ai) - New version of Opus drops So every few months I just get a week of degraded performance as part of my hella expensive subscription, followed by "numbers only go up" benchmarks and marketing Sigh

Loaded up beat saber for the first time in years, and the first time since switching to Linux full time. Got some openxr runtime not found error in game. Spent about 5 minutes looking through forum posts before remembering claude code exists. 30 seconds later it was just fixed.

I sure hope valve has scaled up their storefront services ahead of the controller launch

What a strange world where @astrra.space is labeled a bot and @luna.pds.witchcraft.systems isn't

Pretty sure my Claude code instance got stuck in a compaction loop overnight and ran through the rest of my week's usage 😭

reticulum already has a pretty wide software library for you to explore and honestly some of the LXMF homepages i see on the network are extremely peak you should check them out too reticulum.network/manual/softw...

Astra ⭐@astrra.space · 6mo ago

your regular reminder that reticulum.network doesn't require any LoRa hardware to get started because it also works over the internet (and basically literally any other way to share information with 5bps of throughout and an MTU of >500) so you can explore nomadnet or meshchat or columba right now

Man, 2026 is something else.

"The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous."

@anthropic.com giving out 2x Claude Code usage for Christmas was brilliant. All the enterprise users were on vacation or barely working, so they likely had extra capacity. And the folks using CC last week were likely working on passion projects or side gigs. I already miss it lol

I made a #Reticulum #LXMF client for Android using material design. Check it out! github.com/torlando-tec...

Opus 4.5 released and now 2 days into my week I'm at 60% usage. This thing is amazing though

So stoked for the controller. Long have I yearned for the steam deck layout on not the steam deck

Announcing: New @steampowered.com Hardware, coming in 2026: Steam Controller Steam Machine Steam Frame.  Watch our jazzy announcement video and wishlist now: steampowered.com/hardware

Some of the last reasons to stay on Windows have been gaming related. Both the time from installation to in-game and gaming performance on Bazzite are now actually better than Windows on many games, and living room usability is more seamless too.

The hunt is on! Hollow Knight: Silksong is available now on all platforms, including day one on Xbox Game Pass!

Silksong is hammering the Steam, Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation stores 😅

hardest boss in silksong is the steam store cart

It took me half an hour to beat the Add to Cart boss. Another half hour to beat the Shopping Cart boss. I've been stuck on the Payment Method boss for the last hour now, games brutal.

Websites that prevent pasting on "re-enter your password" are missing the whole point
