I got a 40% discount on Opus 4.5 compute last week.
I've put in around 125+ hours of generative/etc AI and testing in the last six days.
Total cost around $850.
Upgrades to my sites are impressive, some are live. Products are finding their feet.
Whenever the UX testing is done, I will make an announcement on NOSTR first. The initial webinar/whatever is going to be limited to a dozen or two people.
There are significant access/monetary advantages to joining the webinar.
And for those of you who tried Hash and logged in with nsec, I can't see your identities because I engineered it so I can never seen/reveal, but I swear to GOD... I will never expose them, because frankly I'm too stupid to know how to do it. That's my promise and my guarantee is: I'm retarded.
//ONWARD
Due to my compute discount, I have released (in prod, unfortunately) a crapload of test features to try to validate prod/dev/etc servers.
In practice, what this means is that the UX is entirely trash. I've written or edited 100k lines of code in the last ≈5 days, and that is all the fucks I have left to give.
That all being said, I think you will note significant improvements to my apps. You'll also see some squirrelly stuff and maybe even some products/etc that haven't been announced yet publicly.
//TAKEAWAY
It's not just a feature from Chino Joe's, the second best (debatable?) Chinese option in rural El Salvador, amirite? Dragon in Juayua is... wait, why is it called Dragon?
The takeaway is: I've worked hard on this stuff. In the past two months, I've lost 10% of my bodyweight and around 32% of my treasury. I've perfected "wife gone, dude tries to toast bread, shifts physical laws" levels of sandwich tastiness. I've walked out my door and yelled really offensive slurs (in English) at somebody who looked like he deserved it, and then I bought him a simple coffee.
//FINALE
I've got nothing much. I'm feeling silly, working hard, and the stuff I've made in the last week is live, horribly designed, and embarassingly functional.
//FINAL NOTE
And for what's not useful, I'll wake up in 6-8 hours and I will spend tomorrow, this week, and the rest of my life fighting for individual freedom in novel ways. I will not stop, pause, or doubt the mission.
P.S What type of children does a vegetarian ogre eat?
P.P.S. Cabbage patch kids. He wasn't born after 1999 and actually gets that reference.
