This week, Thicc Girls goes double platinum. Can’t wait for the world tour. Poor Imari really got thrown in the deep end, though; “Oh, we’re not panning in the river today, we’re taking these boulders to the mountains!”

New explicit video from Maplestar. (there are some known errors in this version that will be fixed soon; none of them affect the “thrust” of the story…)

Windsurf goin’ down

Yesterday’s attempts at app enhancement foundered on the rocks of “Model provider unreachable”. It still charged me “credits” for trying, but didn’t do anything. This would be annoying if these weren’t free trial credits, but it still brings me closer to running out. Pro tip: don’t keep trying when you hit this error…

Dropping from the preview of Sonnet 4.5 to standard Sonnet 4 might have reduced its “intelligence” a bit, but had the advantage of actually running. I hadn’t switched to 4.5 anyway; it did that for me to promote the new one, charging less credits to do… less.

Today’s original-requirement-finally-implemented is all-day events. I think I have just enough credits left in my trial to add a user-prefs page with defaults and password changes (“using best practices for security”), session cookies (“using best practices for security”), and deep-copying an existing project into a new one.

Once I run out of credits, then I decide if it’s worth $15/month to throw more of my dusty old projects at it. Alternatively, since Windsurf is mostly just a custom VS Code skin connecting to third-party models (with some secret sauce in the system prompts and context handling), and it’s been suggesting the Claude Sonnet models, I could download VS Code and the Claude extension and pay them directly, since I’ve gotten good creative results from the free level of Claude.

It also appears that you can run Claude’s coding assistant inside a Docker container and just export your repo directory into it, allowing it to run commands on a completely virtualized environment without network access to anything but their LLM API (once it downloads its CLI tool, which of course is written in node.js, sigh).

(Will I release the final project? Sure, why not; it’s not like I wrote it…)
