i get wanting to make money, but if i don't get all the benefits of tooling until i start paying a ton of money...why benefit do i have by using this at all? especially when there are other avenues that are all free

What part of this that is crucial to your use isn't free? I personally think what they offer for free is quite good.

i'm on sequoia M1 laptop with uptime 16:38 up 228 days, 21:03, 1 user, load averages: 6.14 5.93 5.64

guess i'm marked safe!

i think i'll no longer be giving my money to anthropic

fire them easy decision

sure there's a reason...it works fine thats the reason

find something else to do? not sure the value is in complaining

it doesnt matter, they have to produce some kind of result at this point lets go get em up there

dang and u did all that without a 10 year journey

10 years represents going from

    maxJobs=$(nprocs)
    while read -r nn; do
      code_to_parallelize "$nn"
      (( $(jobs -p | wc -l) > maxJobs )) && wait -n
    done < inputs

to a NUMA-Aware Contention-Free Dynamically-Auto-Tuning Bash-Native Streaming Parallelization Engine. I dare say 10 years is about the norm for going from "beginner" to "PhD-level" work.

whoopsie...

    code_to_parallelize "$nn"

should be

    code_to_parallelize "$nn" &

you just disable the setting

By the same company who admits that disabling telemetry does not in fact disable telemetry and refuse to fix it.

I take it you've never disabled Windows telemetry settings and had them magically restored after an update?

This company either does what it wants to abuse people, or is too incompetent to make their software work as instructed. Both possibilities are bad. I expect the same translates to GitHub.

...and trust naively that that does anything

I am not sure better is the metric, that answer is definitely mostly no..but faster? absolutely.
