Seems anecdotal and/or a recent change. OpenRouter doesn't have my phone number either, but I do have an account. And I didn't sign up with them that long ago.

Correct, and/or in addition, most nowadays prepend something like `set -euo pipefail` to the scripts in the line immediately after the shebang which results in stopping on errors, including things such as syntax errors stemming from e.

You forgot about the best part, in terms of the “GDPR threat” effectiveness: Fines can be up to €20 million or 4% of global revenues…, _whichever is greater._

You don't think that a $60b valuation is having something worthwhile? (Only half-joking…)

Somewhat doubtful. (The first part of your statement, anyway. Of course the difference between abstract "value" and hard, spendable "money" is a thing.) Like Mr. Hanson said in my sibling comment, some rulers are (or wer

That is in fact a better explanation due to bringing up different reasons (zero cost to host as you mentioned, vs. network/visibility out-of-the-box in the linked comment).

What a strange comment. The original post is also available at the poster’s own blog [1], so the question is a very valid one. Clearly, “posting articles for free” is a hurdle already cleared by the author. [1] https://www.ruxu.d

AFAIK Taalas, the company behind this demo, still only have their initially "hardwarized" model available to test in ChatJimmy, which IIRC is a rather stupid Llama 3ish 8b. Don't get me wrong though, that demo is still incred

What would happen if you lost access to phone and laptop? Is there another "backup" device, or a mechanism to register a new device to your Tailscale network that doesn't require vaultwarden?

So the takeaway here is that they scaled to just over $5bn instead of $6.6bn in revenue in just a few years…? Still sounds like plenty demand exists?

Push comes to shove, you could probably still ask an LLM to generate transpiler code, if you're so inclined, and then have it fix the remaining "edge cases" afterward, right…?

While I also prefer companies that don't care what the client I'm using is, (part of) the issue is that alternative software was often inefficient with caching, at least up until recently (not sure whether it might have been patch

Such an increase tracks the company's valuation trend, which they constantly, somehow have to justify (let alone break even on costs).

This got me thinking, and it might actually even be a comparable amount. Let's estimate 12 years of schooling run at minimum $100,000 per student, at least in the US [1], and then add onto that number whatever else you may do after tha
