I suspect we'll see a hybrid before an all or nothing. Local models for computer control or delegating, online models for things that need strong reasoning, planning, and knowledge access. Again, I'd be more than happy to be wrong. I just see models growing faster than the hardware can.

I agree that would improve transparency but it'd also lock us and Anthropic into a situation where changing that would require new plans, prices, notifications, legal, etc. I think the fact that we don't see tokens shows just how subsidized the plan is. Which is mostly the point. They want us getting used to just using the product, not tracking tokens (for whatever behavior that builds later on).

I mean if you want to spend $200, and get a guaranteed amount of tokens in return you should be using the API.

I agree there should be more transparency what 20x gets you that 5x doesn't.

Though I also imagine it's a tough problem when you could be using Dispatch, Cowork, design, chat, code, etc. All of which use different contexts, models, and resources. I'd argue they actually need to either simplify their offerings, or charge more for upsells (charge for cloud-based agents, upcharge for design outcomes, etc).

I mean you got me there. There will be places who do have the means to build up massive GPU servers. There's just a lot more to it and I don't know if we're going to pinpoint an exact catch-all moat.

I feel like the models have no moat paradigm died when a single model expanded past the memory of single GPU slices. The moat is hosting the model. Even paying a server host to run a rack of GPUs has immense upstart cost, and then you're still struggling to compete on the add-ons of the things on top of the model (prompts, validation loops, etc). You can only throw so much money at a problem.

Literally this. Every response initially was "we don't see that and we let it sit for weeks". Now there's just no response from devs. I was unable to browse past more than 1 or 2 pages before memory ballooned to 30gb.

Software has been riding on the backs of the insane hardware growth curves for the last 20 years. I miss the days of reading about how software engineers had to delete standard C libraries in build time to shave extra memory so they can stream more of the level in.

I also fully acknowledge that change starts with me, unfortunately those changes don't pay the bills.

Most of that site reads as a "trust us, sound makes you heal!" I don't see a single thing there that tries to explain the correlation between bumping your brain with sound and "restoration". It doesn't explain what it restores, why it works better than nothing.

Honestly this website doesn't seem to even be trying to sell anything. "Help your sleep" how? "doesn't make you sleep longer" but what does it do instead? Do I feel more restored when I wake up even with a shorter sleep time? It's not even trying to sell me on a specific outcome that I John Everyman is facing.

Snake oil things are typically very light on details and this site is also light on details. Maybe it's a victim of form over function? The site's design looks nice but has very low information density.

I would really like to see a renaissance of in-person activities. I think a big hurdle to this though is the lack of a 3rd place for communities to exist. Parks are nice in the summer but less ideal in the winter (and not available in all neighborhoods). Town squares are also more hostile to "loiterers" (no data to back this just feelingss).

Overall I think if we want to see a resurgence of IRL, we need the social support of our governing bodies which imo is a large hill to climb.

It's a very frequently used structure by LLMs especially ones writing for LinkedIn.

Oh are compilers going away? Or personal computers for that matter?

If the barrier to button-pressed companies goes that high up, the cost to run/consume the product also goes up. Making hand-rolled products cheaper.

Slower paced to roll out things? Sure.

That's the precarious balance these LLMs providers have to make. They can't just move on without the people feeding it data and value. The machine is not perpetual.

I believe the Shared Payment Token is interchangeable with a payment method id that you attach to a customer object, but that link has very sparse information about how things actually work end to end and what objects mean what.

Nobody cares until the automated trust and safety bot bans an account for no apparent reason and you can't contact a human for help. Before that happens though, how do you get someone to care? I suppose it's risk management at that point. "What are the odds that I'll get inconvenienced by Instagram before the ROI on establishing on their platform pays out"

I mean that's a fair distinction. There's definitely some overlap depending on needs though.

Another thread about Edge.js has some similar concepts that might be applicable? They're not 1:1 the same but it involves Sandboxing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47417398

They have Their Link.com product which integrates pretty seamlessly. It just doesn't store balances or anything akin to PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Apple Pay/Cash, etc.

The ability to auto-fill the text/email verification codes is a huge one.

+1 for dokploy, it's very flexible and allows me to setup my sites how I need. Especially as it concerns to the way I setup a static landing page, then /app goes to the react app. And /auth goes to a separate auth service, etc.
