Ok, obviously unethical to do it, but this sounds like you've got the power to create some sci-fi shared dreaming device, where you can read people's brainwaves and send signals to other people's masks based on those signals. Or send signals to everyone at the same time and suddenly people all across the world experience some change in their dream simultaneously.

I second this! I switched to mint recently. They are offering unlimited data including hotspot for $15/mo for up to a year if you prepay. I think then it goes to their standard rate which is $30/mo for unlimited, or $15/mo for 5gb.
I tried it for the first time the other day after having heard how much better it's gotten recently, and it made me really wonder how bad was the UX _before_ all these recent improvements. I don't want to bash on it too hard, because it's clear that a ton of hard work has gone into it, but it was really a struggle for me to get some pretty basic things done. The only feedback for a lot of things I tried to do was some not-very helpful error messages in the console, or just the whole program crashing. After trying hard for quite a few hours, reading lots of docs and watching tutorials, I ended up giving up and going back to Fusion 360.
I've been living in a rental for a while, and I have a woodshop in the garage. I've been really wanting to have a 220V outlet to run some bigger power tools, but if figured doing that would require hiring an electrician to come do some work in the breaker box. This has me curious if I can do something like this just to power some stuff in my garage, and also potentially charge an electric car.
Hiring an electrician is going to be cheaper probably, depending on the length of the run and how annoying the location is (and if your panel has enough capacity to spare). Unless your landlord is an asshole they probably won't care, in my experience, as long as you get a qualified person to do it. You're basically improving their place so it's not a hard thing to get approved.
Btw for the second part, you _can_ charge electric cars over just normal 15amp circuits you already have. It's just slow, so you'd only want to do it for nightly charging and it may depend on your commuting range if it'll work out or not.
You could get something like an eco flow battery, charge it on your 120v service and then use its inverter to run your intermittent 240v loads. IIRC their models support being in charge and invert mode simultaneously, so you wouldn't have to swap plugs or change settings throughout the day.
The Delta Pro series is capable of running a 3 ton AC condensing unit, so if your tools are less demanding than this it should work out.
> We can't really do much with the information that x amount is reserved for MCP, tool calling or the system prompt.
I actually think this is pretty useful information. It helps you evaluate whether an MCP server is worth the context cost. Similar for getting a feel for how much context certain tool uses use up. I feel like there's a way you can change the system prompt, and so that helps you evaluate if what you've got there is worth it also.
My theory is that you will never get this from a frontier model provider because as is alluded to in sibling thread the context window management is actually a good hunk of the secret sauce that makes these things effective and companies do not want to give that up
I think it's about optimizing for different types of reading. When you're reading the final text, you're reading to absorb the content. When you're reading the source text, you're reading to find edits you want to make. Using more line breaks is a way of making the document easier to scan if you're familiar with the "shape" of it.
