ISPs still do this. Obviously not with Napster, but they will close your account for piracy.

ePaper displays are niche, and worse for most personal and business use-cases compared to LCD et al. AI is re-structuring entire industries.

What do you use it for? What is your time worth that you'd settle for a lesser model to save a few bucks?

We are not at the moment where price matters. All that matters is performance.

That's... not how that works. Might as well say Anthropic has a 63 day limit (cuz that's 9 weeks). The point of the first half of my comment is that you cannot chew through your tokens in 15 days, because although the billing cycl

There is no monthly limit, it (currently) is a weekly and 5-hourly limit. If they allow anyone to use any tool with their subscription service, you could have a system (like OpenClaw) which involves 0 human interaction and is constantly con

A $200/m max subscriber using OpenCode and not wanting to use API keys with pay-per-token pricing is very clearly trying to get around paying for tokens.

A significant part of the capex is just energy, so even if there is some sort of AI black swan event and the data centers become obsolete overnight (unlikely), energy is literally the root of all bounty so it is good that something is incen

How is that absurd? If I own land and want to build 650 new homes, what exactly is the argument for stopping me, besides "I don't like it"?

With infra-as-code, an LLM can also set up and maintain infra. Security is another issue and 100% that still seems to be the biggest footgun with agentic software development, but honestly that is mostly just a prompting/context issue.

I suppose part of the problem is that I don't understand why "Voiden" in the first place, but if we assume Voiden is a good name: The logo neither says "voids" nor "API tool". It is a blocky infinity symbo

I tried Voiden and like the idea, but in the end I think the notebook format felt a bit too freeform for an API tool. To me the point of an API tool is clarity of what I am doing and how they translates into code. On a product note, I don&#

Wait times happen at a local level, not federally. I don't know how they could possibly crank up ID requirements that would get in my way: I have a passport and a REAL ID driver's license.

While a required literacy test may be a form of voter suppression, it is not "harassment", which is what we are discussing.

Destroying Medicaid would in fact solve the problem, that's true.

How does that work? As a US citizen, no amount of "harassment" is going to stop me from voting.

When talking about government services, how do you have privacy? Does one not need to perform audits, etc? This is why I personally prefer more devolved spending – at the federal level it is far too much centralized power.

A good one, but an LLM has no conception of "want". Also the golden rule as a basis for an LLM agent wouldn't make a very good agent. There are many things I want Claude to do that I would not want done to myself.

Targeting Python, Ruby, and SQL seems impossible if you want certain features.

You can crash into things that aren't other vehicles and don't have people with them, at which point the logic of your trolley problem flies out the window.

Yes, so... pretty clearly not OpenCode.

Planning mode actually creates whole markdown files, then wipes the context that was required to create that plan before starting work. Then it holds the plan at the system prompt level to ensure it remains top of mind (and survives unalter

The Big 5 is a sliding scale with no clear "right or wrong", but something like being an asshole has little upside and it might be good to change.

Personally I don't think it is the same as employment + reference. Imo it is fairly easy to game university and get a good degree from a "top" school without actually learning that much at all. Harder to get a good work refer

I still do not understand how this relates to child labor during the industrial revolution.

Previous employment isn't an "in-group", it's an endorsement of your skill (assuming your references pass muster).

Yes, that is what OP is saying, I'm just not very convinced. Primarily because his sample size is quite small – he says the people in his smaller, non-SV jobs were just as competent as those in the SV company, but that could mean a num

Judging you based on the work you've done seems... very meritocratic to me?

Did you answer the question? Your answer to "how are they different?" was... "they're different". Children have been working in dangerous environments since the dawn of humanity. Genuinely interested in why you thin
