I think these products (Jev and the inevitable offerings from Anthropic, OpenAI, etc) want to become more than end-user output machines. They'd benefit from being in the hotpath of other services. Not backgrounded generation but in-band, request-time work.
1M x $0.50 == 1B x $0.0005

If I had to guess, it's already built and is just waiting on Product's/Marketing's desk. How do you position this without looking like your roadmap is being determined by newcomers? Probably don't want to adopt the same verbiage+acronyms - but also can't be seen to be just sherlocking features.

For _your_ classification it's unacceptable. The OP seems to have anticipated this and mentions you can fine tune it for your use case. Did you try that?
I don't think the point is to displace Jev, but to show it's possible to build an MVP on open weights without years of work and millions of dollars.
Why (presumably) an engineer would dismiss exploring a lightweight, custom alternative to locking into a fashionable PaaS, I'll never know.

Long term it matters very much if your car is Toyota or BMW or Kia or John Deere though.
I think some users are also conscious about the longevity of their tooling related to LLM usage, too. Whether it has an effect or not, we've yet to find out.

Re:A record 242 US cities now have starter homes that cost $1M

Technically, "the top house of the bottom 1/3rd is at least $1m"
The title of the article is not helpful.
Even "In 242 cities[1], 2/3 of homes are more than $1M" is better.
[1]where "city" is ambiguous

Vivaldi (not affiliated) kinda aims to do this. At least they build the blocker in. It uses the Blink engine, too. I don't think this move by Google will adversely affect Vivaldi in the same way it does Chrome.

I just want to note how fast this page is.
806kB transferred. 766ms to finished. I hit the DFW AWS CloudFront pop from here.
Similar page for BK https://www.burgerking.co.jp/menu
31MB transferred. 6.5s to finished. Hits the DEN pop (but it's a "miss").
I am in Colorado. uBlock is on.
Even if you don't count the 7.5MB of fonts on the BK page, that's wild.

I'd try and figure out how to make a living converting older, everyday cars/trucks to EVs. Restomod I guess; but not just classic sports cars and big trucks (though I love those too). I think a 1989 Mazda Protege deserves a new life as an affordable commuter car. Tape deck and all.
Re:My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file (2020)

Agreed. I'm working on a small GUI that just appends to a local .ndjson file. A user just posts with a text box into a feed. Like a one person chat or tweeting into the void. And a local LLM picks apart metadata, storing just enough to index where answers to future questions will be. Then you can use slash commands to get at the analysis like "/tasks last month" or "/summarize work today" etc.

Agreed. These sort of takedowns usually point to a gap in the author's experience. Which is totally fine! Missing knowledge is an opportunity. But it's not a good look when the opportunity is used for ragebait, hustlr.

I get your point but my Apple devices (Macs, iPhone, even my Vision Pro thing) aren't exactly "calm" either. The app stores are constantly trying to rope me into gacha games or promote some subscription wellness platform. Apple News subscription is floating click-bait Hollywood articles no matter how much I tap the thumbs down. Maps clutters my commute with suggested places and guides. Don't get me started on Podcasts and Music showing me topics and genres it's bizarrely certain I want to listen to.

You could probably consider a broader interpretation of ActivityPub for something like this; or the underlying ActivityStreams format.
It was conceived for social networking, but social networking doesn't have to be just 140 characters in a timeline.
