I've got two max 20 plans and totally get value from it.

How does that work? Are you using separate accounts? Do you just max out one of them and then switch to the other one?

We need to run a SotA coding agent basically 24/7 uninterrupted and so far we didn’t find an easy solution for this (you can get provisioned TPUs for Gemini on GCP but it costs a fortune).

Surely that’s possible for under $5k a month? $10k?


If you guilt me into voting, I'll probably vote for somebody you don't like.

Isn't it better that I don't vote?


There have been multiple times where the final vote count was the difference of a handful of votes. No one is guilting anyone to vote and some will say that neither party represents what they want and that sucks. But ultimately there has to be one side that even if you don't overall like them you would still rather they get elected. So vote for who you think might be best. And if they have policies you don't agree then contact your representative and say "I voted for you but do not want xyz policy". The more who speak up the better.

I'm not American. And surprise: regardless of your reasons you get judged by the government you put in power, since foreign policy is how the rest of us experience your choices.

And your choices are evidently you're completely okay with the current situation as well.


> Isn't it better that I don't vote?

Maybe. I'm not actually that invested in people voting. But that doesn't negate the hypocrisy of complaining when you're, through inaction, endorsing the status quo.


"better" for whom?

No. It is better that you vote. For at the end of the day you can:

1. know you tried to express your wishes

2. know that the outcome is because people expressed their wishes

3. realise the balance between 1. and 2. whether the outcome is as you hoped, and especially if it is not as you hoped.

This is important because hanging back and saying "Well I didn't vote for them!" is by default not supporting democracy as your country views it.


Thank you for continuing to post these! Very interesting benchmark.

Very well put, and it mirrors my own thoughts.

Free as in freedom!

There is an answer the crypto enthusiasts have to this, but since I'm not one of them I wouldn't do the argument justice.

The short version is, it's about control and power.

Neat project though!
