Can I propose a compromise? How about a yearly subscription with opt-in renewal. If you stop paying, you don’t get updates (or locked out in case it’s a service - not standalone software). We all hate subscriptions but at the same time life

Yeah it does. Motive: Altman had some weird boyish thing for her and they asked her first, she said no. Means: Lots of available data to use from her movies. They probably trained a model first without releasing it just because it’s ridicul

That’s right I was referencing the meme. However the scale argument seems to apply to faang and those inspired or derived by them. “We do things at scale” can become an excuse to ignore individual voices, whether it’s users, customers, or e

Agreed. To elaborate, he talks about self-identification, that anything with AI should be required to be labeled as such. And that enforcement is similar to how globally governments chase down counterfeiters of money. It’s a good reference,

Yeah sure but would you spend a round trip and block it? It’s not hard to discuss coding processes but this constant going back and forth asynchronously is dreadful. People get notification damaged by this.

No, you can set up replication with, eg LiteFS where you have one writer and multiple read replicas. That said, then you have operational overhead that defeats a part of the purpose with SQLite. In practice, you can get very far with a sing

Yes easy mistake to make. But this goes back to HTTP basics: a GET request shouldn’t mutate state. Either don’t consume the link (ie allow reuse), have a user confirm action with POST, send a code instead. There are many alternatives. Perso

I don’t think we should parrot the syscalls-are-expensive too much. The overhead of thread syscalls is smaller than you’d think, and for say TCP and file IO our buffers are so big that we can mitigate the amounts in practice to saturate har
