The dreaded "selected model is at capacity" appeared on Codex, frustrating

For almost a week now, I couldn’t get past the Fable filter even once. Tried my complicated research queries, repository scanning - stuff that’s supposed to be Fable’s area of expertise and got flagged every single time. My research area being biophysics probably didn’t help 😓

Visited the only Costco in Okinawa today. My first time in a Costco, it was mostly a positive experience. Cheap prices, good selections and a warehouse setting means you tend to purchase a lot more than you originally intended to when you walked in.

I was disappointed with their famous hotdog and soda combo though - the Coke was so watered down that it reminded me of budget buffet options back in my PhD years.

Claude also has a unified pool of tokens that is shared among the chatbot, Claude Code and CoWork etc. This is seriously limiting, especially when compared to ChatGPT 🤦🏽‍♂️
Roughly 2 weeks ago, my unit’s yearly LLM subscription renewal was coming up. Claude was put up as a contender for ChatGPT which we were using for more than a year at that point. Glad I decided to stick with ChatGPT, considering the performance degradation Claude is going through

Elated to share that my first ever grant application was successful! I've been awarded a solo Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists (#KAKENHI) from #JSPS to support my work on boundary-driven organization of proliferating cells. Excited to dive into this over next 3 years!

Grateful to Prof Simone Pigolotti for the guidance, and a big thank you to the @OISTedu Grants Section! 🙏 Their kakenhi clinics made the process so much smoother for a first-time applicant. Highly recommend their support! #科研費 #若手研究 #AcademicTwitter #科研費採択

Just learnt that on an annual plan of ChatGPT, if you add a new seat in the middle of your year then the baseline is adjusted and you will still pay for the additional seat at a prorated basis for the remainder of the year, even if you remove that seat afterwards, before year-end

I was hoping that they’d adjust for the removal in the beginning of next month but since it’s a yearly cycle they aren’t going to do that. My bad, lesson learnt 😕

ChatGPT casually deleted an entire project folder after giving a file upload error! What the hell?!

Pi-hole was not resolving any .ai domains. Digging through the issue via `dig` revealed that keeping DNSSEC enabled on Pi-hole was the culprit. The .ai TLD is DNSSEC-signed and if some .ai domain lacks valid RRSIG, Pi-hole with DNSSEC validation will fail to resolve it #TIL

Replying to @GeminiApp
@GeminiApp should consider supporting MathML for a proper representation of mathematical objects. It’s disappointing that they still don’t offer it when ChatGPT does for longer than a year now 🤷🏽

A productive work meeting can be the game-changer that boosts your day and fuels your passion. It’s the little wins that add up! 📈 #PostdocLife #CareerGrowth

macOS sequoia just borked office WiFi 😟

The 15.0.1 upgrade didn’t fix anything for me, can’t still connect to office WiFi. Guess I’ll have to wait for them to fix it with 15.1 🤞

Just got my health insurance through @joinditto and I couldn’t be happier! The Ditto team was incredibly supportive and made the whole process smooth and hassle-free. Their service is top-notch—highly recommend! 👏 #Insurance #CustomerExperience #Ditto

Getting a bank account in Japan as a foreigner is a chore. Somehow all my requests for opening accounts online across banks were declined, even though I have a valid long term work visa. Finally had to visit one in person to open a new account 🤷🏽‍♂️

Finally left Jalpaiguri, en route to Kolkata. 2A is clean enough, just hoping that we’ll reach Kolkata safely

A week in Kolkata is finally coming to an end, en route to Bhubaneswar. So glad to finally have all the utilities arranged for our place in Kolkata. It’s difficult to get things done in time while staying outside, happy everything fell into place

My Flipkart groceries order came fully drenched in a concoction of Pepsi and pomegranate juice with a dollop of lemon body wash for a refreshing smell. Guess quality control is not a priority for deliveries in smaller towns. Didn’t face this kind of issue in Mohali/Chennai
