Deepseek's models are open-weight and hosted all over the world, how would blocking deepseek's web sight do anything to stop its model's use?

Except there are plenty of inference providers worldwide (including the US) that serve open-weight models that are not subsidized, and are reasonable in cost. Or is your claim that those are all running at a loss?

>3. We're massively overusing SOTA models. As long as you're on a subsidized subscription, you can use Claude Opus 4.8 high to write blog article meta descriptions. If you paid by token, you wouldn't do that. This idea tha

Subscription inference can also be cheaper than the cost of API inference if the provider wants it to -- providers can do flexible scheduling for subscription inference for example, around API inference, to lower its cost and get better uti

Fair enough, there is not strong specific evidence to the contrary except about overall inference being profitable for OpenAI (as well as the open weight model providers hosted throughout the world).

How is it not easy to get the coding plan?

I've been testing M3 for agentic tasks on Hermes and it just gets way too confused. I have really poor result from it compared to GPT-5.4 mini/regular or GLM-5.2 (and even 5.1).

Aside from Codex and Claude, what other subscriptions do you think provide the most value?

haha fair enough. Sorry!

API token price is one thing, but subscriptions on Claude are a good value. Weirdly everyone says that Claude subscriptions are subsidized because of the API price, even though (1) no one actually knows Claude's cost of inference, and

That's the right metric, thank you. And this looks like it's relatively low.

For Deepseek and other openweight models, you can use non-Chinese hosted infrastructure that offer zero data retention and still save a whole lot of money. A large corp could even host their own Deepseek v4.0 Flash model internally for som

Loving Hermes at the moment, trying Honcho with it now to boost its memory capability. Interesting to see where these go the next few months.

I think ths comment is referring to the usage limits of the Pro plan. You run out of usage very fast if on anything less than a Max ($100+/month) plan.

This really depends on what you're replacing. Replacing a standard electric water heater that uses ~$500/year of electricity with a heat pump water heater that uses ~$100/year (that's about what ours uses) has a pretty

Ikea's new matter over thread temperature/humidity sensor has been pretty great for me so far. For $10, it has a nice pixel display that turns on with you press it, and it paired very fast and easily to HomeKit for me. The standa

That example doesn't make sense, because 100 miles back to back is only 200 miles. You've got about 80 miles from charging overnight those two days and another 200+ miles already in the battery. In that situation you're tot

Yeah, I've started being a bit concerned about inhaling all the tiny plastic fibers every time I clean the filters and wondering what could be doing to my lunges.

Back-up cameras are really important for kids who can't be seen in a rearview mirror. Those can be retrofit into an older car, but after having a kid I can see why these became mandatory.

Of course that's a viable option, but likely uses far more electricity in a year and unless you're going the high seas, unlikely to always get a better 4k HDR resolution from streaming services.

Looking forward to the R2 and hopefully all goes smoothly.

I wish if this U.S. administration and U.S. carmakers don't care to promote EVs, that they'd at least let in the Chinese manufacturers that are interested in them.

For my new Bosch Benchmark dishwasher, "normal" actually uses 2.4 gallons and 1.25 kwh a load, is most efficient, and is quietest. There is no "eco" mode. "Auto" mode uses about twice the gallons no matter wh

Since switching to the $10ish Apple USB-C to headphone adapter vs. just plugging in my 3.5mm headset into the computer, the buzzing when gaming completely stopped for me. Cheap solution.

Oh, that's fair point, except solar isn't relatively sparse in a lot of Republican led states too. Texas, Florida, North Carolina all have a relatively decent amount of solar, and Arizona does too which is... mixed?
