There's one person who pays them $250 a month who cost Augment $15,000. Amazing stuff. Can only imagine how bad things are for Cursor or Replit
www.augmentcode.com/blog/augment...

The user message model also isn’t sustainable for Augment Code as a business. For example, over the last 30 days, a user on our $250 Max plan has issued 335 requests per hour, every hour, for 30 days, and is approaching $15,000 per month in cost to Augment Code. This sort of use isn’t inherently bad, but as a business, we have to price our service in accordance with our costs.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

The book Circe by Madeline Miller is so good if you’re looking for a new angle to read her mythology

Fleurish Folk @fleurishfolk.bsky.social · 21h

Circe, renowned for her knowledge of potions & herbs, transforms her enemies, (& those who offend her) into animals. 🐖 The best known example is from Homer's Odyssey when Odysseus visits her island on the way back from the Trojan War & she changes most of his crew into swine. 🪄 🐷 #FairytaleTuesday

"Circea" in Boccaccio's c. 1365 De Claris Mulieribus, a catalogue of famous women, from a 1474 edition
Circe and Odysseus (Ulixes) in a book illustration in Giovanni Boccaccio's book De claris mulieribus , caption of the German translation reads Hie nach volget der kurcz sin von etlichen frowen / von denen johannes boccacius in latin beschriben hat, vnd doctor hainricus stainhöwel getütschet. The book in Latin language offering biographies of famous women was written between 1360 and 1374. It was translated into the German language by Heinrich Steinhöwel, that printed by Johannes Zainer, Ulm, 1474.

Would the 80s even exist without Struzan?? He’s the source of so much of our nostalgia. RIP.

there is this need to talk more about "seamfulness" from this perspective where tech is just as much used by the people around the user as the user themselves.

Like how a self-driving car should have a big clear external indicator when it is being driven by a computer

nearly all the plant-based products we tested had elevated lead levels: vegan powders had 9x as much lead as dairy and 2x as much as beef

though dairy-based powders had the lowest levels, half were still too contaminated for safe daily use

you may be asking: how could this be? well...

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Sherlock Holmes: elementary, my dear Watson

AI assistant: the character Sherlock Holmes just said "elementary, my dear Watson." He is likely referring to elementary school, where his son is headed in the fall

Though she appears only briefly in the Mabinogion, Blodeuwedd, the woman made from flowers, remains one of the most enduring and beloved figures in Welsh mythology.
