Proton Pass, not their email service. Although I suspect things like the Cloudflare Email Service will expand by next year too.

If they can vibe code the project without engineering then surely their users can too, right? I currently pay for Proton Pass but when mine renews next year I'd rather just give the money to Opus 6.5.

Even if an employee has the authority to make a decision, executive leadership should still have the legal right to terminate someone if they disagree with that choice. Let's not make running a business illegal.

Re:United Starlink Tracker
on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @11:30PM (#50284242)
According to tech Twitter, millions of people are going to choose United because they will do productive work on the plane if they had Starlink. Meanwhile on my flights with Starlink, everyone is just watching movies as normal. I'm sure the 1% with laptops could really use this, but as a capitalist I'm still just sorting flights by lowest price and best departure time. The hype over this has been a bit crazy.

It's at least 4 months away on https://artificialanalysis.ai/evaluations/omniscience and many other benches. Anyone stating that its just a few weeks back is just cherry picking a single benchmark.

I really like pi, though it does require some time in setting it up. But it has greatly reduced my token spend. The relevant Deepseek Harness https://www.deepseek.com/en/harness/ I hear is also good and popular.

I'm sorry, I am still going to leave comments on bad code even if it "works". If it's not me, then its agents reviewing the diff for minimization opportunities along with best practices skills and checks.

2 years in, the founders and 30 researchers took Google's $2.7b and left. Then they had to ban kids which was probably most of their userbase. Yet they were still putting $1m/mo on the corporate cards with 86 full time bay area employees on
~$278k average base, and almost $100k owed to DoorDash. lol

I can't get GPT-6 models to do any work with compilers or anything deemed hacky, so I'm surprised it completed this without any refusals. I guess since it was just off-the-shelf stuff, it went through.

Yes, I use open-source projects, and as part of that, I either find bugs or want features. I don't think an agent should be recreating or forking React, for example, just for me - that's not realistic.

This is sad. I was a heavy user of Deno, though I recognized its likely downfall when they laid off a large part of their team in the last year.
