I did a hackathon many years ago (before LLMs) where I spent a serious amount of effort training a conventional machine learning algorithm and integrating it into a react native app. I had a genuinely impressive team to make this possible given it was 2016.
The winning team bought a bootstrap theme for $35 and made a landing page for a nonexistent app.
That doesn’t matter when you have the average. Even if you are somehow able to get 10000tok/s during off peak times, by virtue of how averages work, you’re still only getting 52M tokens per month (as calculated above).
While tone often portrays poorly over text, I think this is an example where the sarcasm is very overt. I don’t think anyone would think the comment is serious.
How many times will people fall for this? Public voting is a false sense of democracy, when every ballot looks like, “Do you want us to lower taxes, cure cancer, and [in small text] install surveillance at every intersection?”
I don’t know a single person who pirates music anymore. It’s way too convenient to pay $5-10/month for unlimited access to nearly every record ever created.
And there was a brief period in the 2010s where I could almost say that about movies. But now, most people I know are back to pirating because it doesn’t require an eclectic taste to find that you need 6 different streaming services to meet your needs. The film industry was so close, and dropped that ball.
You had me tricked into thinking Solidworks was $50/year.
I was about to impulse purchase a license and switch over from Fusion. That would be an incredibly attractive hobby license and would probably take a lot of money from Autodesk.

That’s exactly it, and there’s no shame in that. I can, as a solo developer, build a fully featured app with a responsive UI and produce artifacts that run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. I can do that in a weekend, because of the technologies we have at our disposal. Something that would have taken a team of developers several months to do.
On the other hand, the fact that we’re abstracting everything except the business logic away is a big advantage. As soon as Chrome pushes a performance update we can see apps across the board performing 10% faster.
Small aside, I hate the concepts of neighborhoods. If someone tells me they’re from Highland, or Bakerson, or Rockwell, that means absolutely nothing to me. The boundaries are so arbitrary, and when I’m driving I don’t have any indication when I cross one or which one I’m in. I’d rather people just tell me they’re close to the intersection of Major St A and Big Road B. Or that they’re near the IKEA.
It’s especially frustrating on dating apps like Hinge which only show neighborhoods. Half the time I don’t even know if they live in the same city as me.
If you’re trying to avoid email spam, there’s not much difference in giving someone [email protected] versus just [email protected].
