This inspired me to send them something, and I noticed that they have an activity feed for donations at https://fund.blender.org it seems pretty active, albeit small donations at a time.

when you file your tax paperwork each year you have to tell them which bank account to send the refund to. if someone else can file for you they can put in whatever info they like, so.

Relevant to this case, since they have a free version and premium one, they would probably just sell data from both sets of customers. It would be leaving money on the table otherwise, right? The small chance that they might go out of their

If you do pay for a subscription, how can you be sure you're still not the product? What stops them from double dipping here?

You could also donate money to allow the devs to spend it on tokens, right?

Can you actually show us this research and a/b testing?

Since something has to be done (seemingly) to appease parents, I think tech companies and people here should focus on something that looks good like parentally controlled smartphones or whatever with age locks on the phone end. The kids wil

Are people working to keep their skills up, much? Spending a day a week coding manually or etc?

The usual thing to say is state capitalist but honestly they do keep a market around too. A little hybrid of everything, I guess? Just with the state ready to jump in and intervene if anything happens they don't like.

What law are you thinking of? Some tools used in riot enforcements would be illegal to use in wars, so it actually seems to be the other way around to me.

At a certain narrow point, what's the use of carving out a particular class of people from a general "use seatbelts in cars" law? I suppose logically though someone with no dependents who signed some sort of waiver could be a

something being within gods control but not within Jesus is a little heretical, to my understanding of the Trinity. You might want to talk through that with your priest sometime?

Alcohol is one of the more dangerous drugs on most scales, so it's kind of a low bar? The drug to beat would be safer than nicotine probably.

This works pretty well for physical projects but I think coding in your garage with the door open would not invite a lot of conversation or connection? Maybe it would be a nice wfh office in the summer, though.

My more cynical take is that this might be as subscriber driven as it's possible for a news outlet now. Keep an eye on 404 and see if they can resist the gravity of ads, I guess?

Ars has a decently pricey direct subscription, doesn't it? With a lot of tech focused features included. Their strategy is probably the best you could set up in this ecosystem.

Food would actually be a pretty good example - people pay extra for higher quality food, local farm food, whatever all the time. They go out to expensive restaurants that talk up their techniques and sourcing. There's a lot of defined

If all the airlines (or whatever business) are doing something like this, how would you know what the prices are and what the alternatives are? Custom prices per user based on willingness to pay shifts market value around a lot.

I think the steelman argument is that maybe you induce demand and it's a wash on housing costs as rich people move into the city or etc to use the new condos But you do at least get more property taxes?

I mean one is a flat 20 a month and pay as you go is going to go over that for any heavy coding use, right?

It's a test on sign ups, not on users, so "will they sign up without X feature for the same price" yes

I have to guess that they're compute limited somewhere or the new models are incredibly overusing tokens, so I guess you need to wait for new data centers to come online?

by nemomarx 6mo ago
In physical markets we call this kinda thing dumping and it's often regulated. Maybe offering SaaS or compute at below profitable rates should be investigatable too, to avoid killing competitors too easily?

They've preferred the second so far, but they might have a fair reason to see if they can keep growing with the first one instead or cut down on some loss leading, right?

They would probably grandfather existing users in for at least a year or something, you have to imagine. Even if this "test" goes very well and points to removal

by nemomarx 6mo ago
No I think the test is that some new sign ups won't get Claude code in that tier if they pick it and they're seeing if users will still pay for it without it?
