There used to be some web form for msn/Hotmail/outlook you could submit your IP to and 1-6 months later it would magically start working _most of the time_ Not sure if that's still the case

Email hosting isn't too bad. IP reputation management is a pain. Everything works perfectly until one day it doesn't. SMTP relays are cheap--worth a few pennies a month to not deal with IP rep.

Easier to self host inbound and relay outbound. SMTP relays are effectively a commodity and pennies for personal usage. Worth <$1/yr to not screw with IP rep unless you own a /24. Less than /24 you risk some knucklehead ge

Well, generally you need 2 different programs regardless. Usually an SMTP server for accepting and storing emails and a IMAP server for clients to connect to and read stored emails. For the parent post, you configure an outgoing SMTP relay

I had a Digital Ocean VPS and it was fine about 7 years but on year 8 the entire /24 got blacklisted and it was game over Took about 6 months initially of fiddling to get other email services to accept mail DKIM, DMARC, SPF, PTR, web f

My (unverified) AI research claimed generally Chinese models are cheaper to train because Chinese data scientists are cheaper to hire and they're also under more pressure to optimize training cost due to limited hardware availability S

I think (and have heard) the Chinese govt is also interested in trying to embarrass the US as well by showing off their capabilities (so there's a political angle, too)

Training, no. Latency is too high. Inference the latency becomes trivial. Other things, I suspect latency is too high again.

I suppose that's fair. The assumption here is things get linked back to the issue tracker and it's not very interesting boring business apps. Anything technical tends to be a link back to discussion on someone else's issue tr

Eh, agents commits are always too verbose. I don't need a 3 paragraph mini novel. Design can go in a design docs folder, project info goes in the issue tracker. The commit should be a short summary <1 paragraph for quick context

It could be variations in system prompt but I'm not sure how "change the user prompt to encourage tool usage" proves that either way

Yeah, that's fair. I think they're optimized for non technical users without a decent escape hatch.
