For this one, I loved playing Dofus when I was younger. It was (hopefully still) a quite popular french turn-by-turn 2D MMORPG.

The main goal is PoE or PvP, but actually I ended up fully playing for the economy.

You can get a job with its own leveling system, like a farmer, cutting crops, collaborate with a baker who will make you a cut so that he can get baker xp, and then sell the bread in an auction based local marketplace for player to buy and heal.

You can as well just arbitrage: buy something cheaper in one town, and sell it in an another where it was more popular.

I ended up with a tone of paper notes, just calculating the margin of different product, e.g jewellery, so that I can buy the materials, calculating the risk of loss during the building process, partner with someone for some materials, and then finding where to sell the end product

It's the point that surprised me the most! We always used shallow clones, to speed the CI, I didn't knew that it got that much impact server side!

"Since AI excels at tasks like coding and some types of design, instructors can now assign projects that are much more ambitious." --> it's quite true.

For example, we never had time to learn well for example CI/CD in my years.

It's something that takes time to build (feedback loop is around 10 to 20 min for pipelines, instead of 1 min when coding something), and become quite costly for trial and error in term of time.

But it's now 60% of my work as DevOps Engineer, and a big part of other devs/lead devs work. They are a lot of good and bad practices.

We could imagine a class to learn about how to build proper CI/CD pipelines and experiment --> philosophies, different patterns, testing different caching strategy, etc

No worries, even on chromium, their webpage is just horrible. They seems to have focus only on mobile reading, on desktop its a mess.

You can use OpenRouter directly in Claude Code as well, it's quite nice!

For prompts that needs fact-checking, I like these days to use Perplexity directly instead these days. It's way faster than the default websearch tool + give a link to the reference directly.

You could hook it up with different tools, like real time information:

Oil + GPS + Web Search --> "LLM > You have 50 Km of autonomy. You can go today to this cheaper oil station, at 20 km, on your GPS road, instead of the one near your home. The one at 10Km is closed as well due to a local strike, I will avoid it too"

You can of course script all the scenarios + only use a TTS model. However, when plugging different systems together, I feel that it's the sweet spot where LLM is shining --> no need to pre-plan every scenarios that the user will ask, it can be done on the fly

I feel that it could be a nice addition for:

- People that didn't read the manual (actually almost all of us), like: explain a warning signal

- Or integrate different systems together: `I saw that on your GPS you want to go to this place, but in 2 hours it will be snowing heavily there. Please remember to bring your snow chains'

I felt as well that they miss their window. This kind of rectangular shape with keyboard + computer would be great actually for digital nomad / people going to coworking spaces, but looks way to heavy.

I don't think we need to wait 5 years, we can already see it know

Same, I am still thinking that it's a parody: going full loop back to programming

This resonates well with engineers: making something complex is easy, making them simpler is harder

This one looks shocking on the outside indeed! It's however a sales HR practice: lower salary and commission, but use the alluring treat that top performers will have a special exclusive trip at the end of the year. Many are crazy for it.

It's more a reward for a competition-style work mindset.

> It seems like AI has incidentally commoditized the complement (procedural knowledge), and in turn created greater demand for inputs like human judgement and "empathy".

I think as well there is currently the following: AI still needs an operator, in the same way than a bulldozer needs a bulldozer operator. And like with bulldozer, there are always something that business stakeholder wanna dig, now that digging is faster.

Crazy that it's a small lab becoming the frontier in term of moderation models, instead of Meta which is pouring dozens of billions into LLMs.

Meta would really benefit from work done on this front, however their model Llama Guards are quite lagging compared to the competition.

Small sharing tips, in case it can help: have the maximum of hangers possible. It take a bit more space, but the time saved is huge + it remove iron time for low wrinkle sensitive clothes (e.g cotton polo)

I will suggest mix of both: some everyday tools are already built for being used with hands and legs (e.g opening a door). But indeed adding some different grip types, additional arms, etc, could be helpful.

What are the pros and cons versus Rocket.Chat?

So true! I am not sure if it was on purpose that the model spoke with a so strong accent!

Actually, x402 was created because using a credit card programmatically is very difficult.

The whole business of Stripe is based on that: it's so hard for developers to do, and so many regulations, that they would rather pay an another company to do so.

Crypto can be sent just using a contract.transfer() call

It seems the usage will be mostly agent <-> service or service <-> service. For user, probably using a Metamask-like wallet yes

An partnership with Perplexity AI would be nice!

Let's say a part of the subscription is used to pay for it.

Their example of an /api/premium is quite nice! You could you like keep existing pages free, but provide specific output content for llm!

So if: cost monetized API < cost configuring scraper for your website OR feature provided by premium api > data got by scraping, then some people/business will likely pay

For non-corporate entities, it is!

Having an almost a plug and play solution who does CDN + DDoS Protection + WAF/Rate Limiter + Bot Protection, for a few bucks, is very useful for startups and SMEs.

And compared to cloud different offerings, their quick setup and lower cost is hard to beat.

It's good point! However, one of the main benefits of a technology like this, would be not really for everyday people, but for people with handicap or a speech impediment.

I personally have a stammer. While mine is less severe, and I doesn't need directly it, I know several people that would quite be glad of the benefits that it could bring to them. (Example: pass online interviews).

I agree however of the privacy concerns. We could limit it in a first time to medical devices for example, or have some privacy laws in place.

It's mostly a conglomerate nowadays (e.g the list of subsidiaries in Wikipedia is huge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meituan).

In the same way than Amazon spin-up AWS, they are quite leveraging their tech experience.

Probably some business will popup, like: "rent part of your unused subscription", or even: "proxy tokens with a premium", eg. 5.5 USD on Opus 4.7 paid by the distiller to the user, that will then only spend 5 USD.

So true! It was the same for Gitlab, Cisco, Oracle... every-time they used the AI excuse to explain their laid-off, instead of explaining why they have bad financials. Actually, in all the cases above, the real reason when digging in the financials was the leadership and bad work culture...

Indeed, they are hitting a weird spot, their pricing category is stuck in between people who just want to play without breaking the bank account, who will go for a PS5 or XBox, and hardcore gamers who will go directly for their own custom build PC

Thank you for the sharing!
