Cool. I'm also working on a Scheme compiler for embedding. Bytecode VM as well as AOT compilation to Zig. 100% written by Claude Opus under my supervision and guidance. I've given it an extensive set of tests and benchmarks (r5rs and r7rs) which helps A LOT. I currently use it embedded in a modal prose editor, mostly running integration tests for now.

Oh, I think I misunderstood. Do you mean if we paid the real cost of the compute it would be the numbers you mention?


Yes, AI companies are bleeding money with current pricing. Your AI usage is heavily subsidized by investor dollars.


Better take the opportunity then and have it build good stuff while it lasts. :)


I'm paying for claude max which is 90 euros a month. It's just enough for my needs. I typically run 2 agents in parallel and seldom run out of tokens.


I'm in the same camp. The last few months I've been building a couple of applications (editors) for my own work - and since it's so fast I've had Claude spin off to build Zig tools and libraries for markdown parsing, PDF generation, a Scheme implementation for embedding and more. (If anyone's interested they are at my Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/sicher)


Funny that the "What is MCP?" section doesn't even explain what the acronym stands for... (I genuinely have no clue)


Model context protocol


Thanks!


Or perhaps interested in history of religion?


Yeah could be. Their overall story seems interesting. Just curious to know more of the “why” behind the effort.


and civilization


I do a lot of writing. The best recipe for me when I really need to focus is to not use my macbook at all, but a dedicated laptop with no wifi or anything. (Bought a cheap lenovo X1 second hand for this purpose). Pen and paper is also wonderful.


Interesting. Related: I’ve seen pigeons using the subway to travel here in Stockholm. (https://www.thelocal.se/20111110/37278/)



They do that in London too. Strangely they seem to actually know where they are going.


pigeons are smarter than they look. Not corvid smart so far as I know, but clever birds. It's part of why they're so ubiquitous.


that seems like the opposite of strange


This LG is just shy of 140 dpi.


You are right. I got confused by the mention of 1440p - which is not really what this screen has at 28“. Still not really in the hidpi category. I assume it would be most usable with something along 1.5-1.75 scaling, which produces inferior results to 2x.


I would prefer higher dpi too. If someone would make a hidpi square (ish) screen I would buy it in a heartbeat. The Huawei Mateview looks great but can't swivel to portrait, unfortunately.


I used to run a 16:9 vertically for writing so I got one of these and love it.

The only issue is that I needed to install BetterDisplay (former BetterDummy) to get retina scaling from my macbook pro M1 . Dunno why macOS doesn't support it natively since it has the same PPI as a 32" 4k screen.
