I feel the same about gros michel bananas

Their parent comment claims they have 8 GPUs and 2 DGX sparks.

Are you interested in buying a bridge? I'll do you a good deal!

Would you say that the gerontocracy currently ruling in congress is preferable?

I believe they're referring to the user experience, lots of people think you just use AI to finish a sentence a la early Github copilot. The average person hasn't seen what agentic flows can achieve

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't paracetamol one of those medicines?

My company gives all employees $2500/month. I tokenmaxxx to make the most of it but have a gut feeling I could get as much work done with 10% of the budget spent on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and similar models.

My instinct/cynical take is that the big players are aiming for more than just shareholder value

I doubt you're getting 1TB of storage for $1 anymore

One of the big benefits of passkeys is that you can completely remove the ability to log in with a password!

Isn't that also what good software engineers are about?

Their business model is cloud rent and lootboxes - I love their approach to service, hardware and Linux but let's not pretend they're noble.

I'd assume open weight models hosted on openrouter aren't being run at a loss. As such, I've been experimenting with them lately and results are pretty promising. Requires slightly more patience and handholding than just cranking Opus 5 in Claude Code, but for the cost saving it's definitely worth it.

If you're really into self-hosting I've been experimenting with SearXNG and early signs are promising

You're actually using Strong as an example? It's practically abandonware nowadays!

One of the earliest lines in the article:

> I believe subscriptions for mobile apps are the best thing that has ever happened for both indie developers and iPhone users.

The article isn't extolling the virtue of paying for a utility!

You used a lot of words to defend a strawman argument

But if you make 10 $40m movies and 2 of them make $300m you've spent less for more revenue and a lot more profit, and that's assuming the other 8 make exactly $0

I'm a huge fan of lazygit

I found that entire section amusing. Some choice quotes:

> So does Bitcoin. A Bitcoin user has two keys: a public key, from which an address is derived that acts as a digital safe deposit box; and a private key, which is the secret combination used to unlock that box and spend the coins it contains.

> How interesting, I thought, that Mr. Back’s grad-school hobby involved the same cryptographic technique that Satoshi had repurposed.

> And Mr. Back’s thesis project focused on C++ — the same programming language Satoshi used to code the first version of the Bitcoin software.

public key encryption and c++! It must be him.

We're 2 1/2 years away from the next election...

I'd assume that medical graduates are earning a lot more than €40k

Ukraine gave up their nukes due to American assurances as to Ukraine's defence.

Peter Thiel is mentioned by name in the footnotes and I'd assume Paul Graham thinks relatively highly of him.

Quantum computing isn't a serious threat. Would require a concentrated effort from the community to migrate to a quantum-proof hashing algorithm but there's no greater motivation than potentially losing it all.

And why are/were they used as currency?

Just don't think about the long term economic effects of rent-seeking

Now you need to look into the "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" - Economics wasn't part of Nobel's original endowment so the Swedish Central bank funded it in the 60s.

I'm just going to add a recommendation for the book 'Technofeudalism' by Yanis Varoufakis. The short version is that the current cloud economy is similar to serfs working under a feudal lord.
