OpenCode is pretty terrible imo. Not very privacy minded.

The harder trick is to do it cost effectively. I picked up my Roborock for $200 and it has LiDAR. Works really well.

My Roborock uses lidar and rarely if ever bumps into things.

I don’t think alignment hiccups are the same as it refusing to do non-coding tasks. Both are refusals but different reasoning. I have yet to see Claude code complain about noncoding tasks and I am willing to bet the majority of complaints h

Maybe it technically under some regulation runs afoul. The FTC would never bother themselves with this and I don’t believe it’s in the spirit of the intent.

Found it pretty haunting myself. You could pick a different descriptive word but haunting fits.

Is Claude code really refusing to do none coding tasks because thats not my experience even as of today and I would have expected those tokens are being accounted for the same way as a Claude.ai chat. Seems like all of this is gripes over b

Search and recommendations is terrible. It’s a classic example of what’s wrong at Google. I used to love watching recommended videos at the end of a video. They were always focused on some extension of the current video watched. Now it’s sl

Such a small minority of the customers they want use openclaw and in aggregate a lot of compute use is coming from the total group. Better to stop customers you don’t want. This has zero impact on top line revenue

Meh this argument does not hold up. If you don’t like it pay for the API. We all know these services are priced for human use, as in your not using it 24/7.

Exactly. I don’t know why folks take so much offense to it. You could absolutely do just as you describe. Spend 3-4 hours truly working while enjoying the lunch today sessions and in-house lunch and barista. I definitely benefited from this

Don’t confuse what I say. Bottom line these companies are not profitable yet but it is profitable to serve a token via the API. They have increasing demand, not enough supply, models are getting better on quick timelines. For sure there may

That’s not me. I am simply an engineer who gets a ton of value out of these tools.
644.
by infecto 7mo ago
But unlike the dot com boom, demand for tokens has not let up and there is increasing demand. I don’t know where it falls, certainly companies don’t get or right and they either over or under build. With the current demand rate changes it’s

Is it not a good penciled number? It helps set the directional tone that at inference cost is being covered.

The problem with that comparison is restaurants largely don’t have much room to adjust price or optimize cost. The AI industry is too new with many unknowns right now so investors are willing to take risk. For the hyperscalers the bet is th

Don’t confuse plan changes with profitability of inference. When people talk about the cost to serve a token and it being profitable we are referring to API cost not the plans which absolutely subsidize some level of use. Hard to know what

by infecto 7mo ago
Ty for sharing and agree. I think there is confusion with some folks in the comments for this post confusing inference profitability and plan profitability. Most plans as we can tell are probably teetering the line of profitability and that

Thank you for saying it better than I could have. It’s probably an unnecessary jab but I know how well I benefited financially in an industry where not much was expected in terms of output, lavish perks and huge base salary and stock compen

Don’t confuse inference (api usage) with the consumer plan products. When people say inference is profitable they are referring to the cost to serve a token via the API. The consumer products are absolutely a question mark on profitability
651.
by infecto 7mo ago
Most/all private labs have cited inference is profitable. This was happening before the large push to scrap plans and largely charge folks the underlying api rates. Second take a look at the pricing of open models. Now certainly it’s n

I wish this was higher up. I have been tracking the same since Thanksgiving ‘25 and the growth is unreal. Again I don’t know where the cards fall maybe the industry overspent on capex but it’s at least easier to see why they are spending ba

I know there is a large force on HN that want to deny the value of tokens and I know it’s anecdotal but the writing is on the wall. If it’s not valuable to your workflow today it will be soon. I already have tests being written, automated h
654.
by infecto 7mo ago
Oh come on there are no “classic HN mistakes” here. Inference is profitable but bottom line is not yet. This is a very young industry and unlike those of the past, it’s much easier to picture a possibility of profitability. It’s absolutely

Can you cite your source of an analyst at Cursor. I read the article and looking through the boatload of links but struggled to find what you are referring to. Ty

It’s incredible how polarizing the AI rush is. I keep the perspective that the technology is an absolute step change but I have no idea where the cards will fall. I take a lot of issue with these style of articles. I get a sense that the au

I think most of that is really opinion and experiences. No doubt it’s not designed or built truly for racks but folks have been making rack mounts for Mac minis since they first came out. On the upgrade path I don’t think upgrades are truly

I already run frigate. I am asking how this stacks up to it.

by infecto 8mo ago
Can someone share how this stacks up to a Frigate? What I am struggling with this is how it sits in the security stack. Is it recording things of interest with motion or is it only a layer on top of the existing nvr

Hah yes me too. That was my intent but will have to be more explicit going forward. And at least for the Sony my struggle is it’s a multi-function push down button. Maybe a weird gripe but I miss my non off switches. Easy to turn on and off
