so even with a new tokenizer that can map to more tokens than before, their answer is still just "you're not managing your context well enough"
"Opus 4.7 uses an updated tokenizer that [...] can map to more tokens—roughly 1.0–1.35× depending on the content type.
[...]
Users can control token usage in various ways: by using the effort parameter, adjusting their task budgets, or prompting the model to be more concise."
so just like how every chat app has to look like slack, every ide has to look like vscode, now every agent workspace has to look like the codex app? codex app, antigravity, and now this all have the exact same UI design...
i randomly stumbled upon the connection as well while reading about the St. Bride's School. such a random connection between two completely different interests of mine that i joked the universe is a simulation with limited RAM and reuses assets
Cure Dolly has _some_ connection to this group which, to me, just adds even more mystique to an already fascinating story[1]
Having come across the connection from somewhere else entirely, I found it a very curious rabbit hole. I saw recently a website that attempts to summarise the whole thing (not quite complete) [1], with a section on St. Bride's.
Then there's the oral history someone posted on Something Awful some years ago [2] -- from someone who may have accidentally indirectly derailed the entire movement.
since nothing will happen to them except a slap on the wrist, and all our employers will continue to force this crapware on our machines, i think we should make a point to start using their name as a pejorative (similar to the 'santorum' neologism). any when they inevitably try to rebrand, use that term too

I've already bought some of their stock, i'm pretty sure it's bottomed. I bet i make 30% a year from now. This always happens some "ohnoes!" event cuts a stock price off at the knees but then everyone forgets and in a year or so it's back to where it was before the event.
poptimism was a movement to end the critical dismissal of "pop" music in and of itself. that is, music CRITICS and writers not fans. its goal wasn't to kill or devalue rock, it was to recognize and appreciate so-called "low art" of pop music. it won and that's a good thing.
what we have now is not poptimism, because that already won and pop music has been re-evaluated critically. with the internet having more or less killed real music criticism, all that's left is clickbait reviews/articles that attract the most eyeballs. unsurprisingly, the stuff that attracts the most eyeballs is the most popular music and the stuff with the most money behind it.
i don't have a problem with pop music, i quite like pop music. i have a problem with the uncritical acceptance of all pop music being necessarily "good". i like to say i'm not a rockist, i'm a popessimist
it's unbelievable how the X just isn't there on the android version, probably the most user hostile/disrespectful dark pattern i've ever personally encountered.
that said, i'm surprised that it's available on the desktop version. i wonder if it's some sort of malicious compliance?
