People asking tough questions and being careful consumers are exactly what most good charities and other initiatives need. So, I think comments like yours are the ones undermining those good initiatives, which have a hard time being heard i

I was liking what I was seeing, and I appreciate you making your business model very clear. But then I saw that users can get it free by posting "about screenpipe 10 times on social media". If you want ads, pay for proper ads! Do

I question whether a 3B model can have “a lot of knowledge”.

Oh man, we really need this for telecom too. And even more important than their collusion is their political corruption, so the government protects them from competition and funnels endless billions in taxpayer money to them.

Yes, looking for fair trade labelled products is important, and I also believe it is important to look for the International Fairtrade Certification Mark ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fairtrade_Certif.

I'm a fan of CR and of independent testing. I'm sorry that the attempts to bring independent testing to the supplements industry haven't done better. But they too fall victim to the need to exaggerate every story to get bett

Interacting with Googler's in the past I noticed the same thing but took it a different way. Clearly there was no pressure to use the Google product so they used a wide diversity of devices and services, and I saw this as a healthy thi

I think supabase is open source such that you can (and many customers do) self host with no additional cost and with complete control.

Well, this wouldn’t be a very satisfying explanation, but these JSON objects are often represented as Python dictionaries and those can’t have top level arrays.

Now we're getting to the real point of this. It is usually whatever company isn't friendly enough to the current government. In Canada, it is any company that dares to compete with the telecom companies.

There are lots of companies that take security seriously and don’t lose their customers data. Which is good, because there are companies that need to hold customer data. Companies that don’t take security seriously and lose peoples data sho

Why do you suggest that the web version of sheets is faster than the swift or Java versions? I haven’t tried them, and certainly haven’t benchmarked them, but I would imagine they’re faster.

There is a version of sheets in both App Stores and I believe you can run the android version on chrome OS

Not sure why you’re comparing the c++ Excel to the browser version of sheets. It would make more sense to compare the native version of Excel to the native versions of sheets, ie. android iOS and chromeOS, and the browser sheets to the bro

Not sure you can make this move an example of them having a very high ‘not invented here’ thing going on, given that Androids’ commercial competitors are windows and iOS

I know that opponents of the current gov are enjoying this line recently, but our government is so far from totalitarianism that this seems silly to me. The real problem is oligopoly, not fascism or anything like that. The government puts m

The price of 4o is 50% of GPT4-Turbo (and no mention of price change to gp4-turbo itself). Given the competitive pressures I was expecting a much bigger price drop than that. For non-multimodal uses, I don't think their API is at all c

Why would you compare Gemini pro with the other two - they are not in the same category. Did you mean to say advanced?

Dunno about Australia but Google ‘won’ in Canada, where the government agreed to accept what Google had originally offered, and make it up to their corporate media buddies in the following budget.

I’m sorry that it doesn’t have the ‘top 10%’ version in a live Google sheet.

No, they are completely different. If you were watching a movie on Prime and Amazon inserted an ad before the movie that would be annoying but normal. But what if your TV manufacturer injected an ad over the movie? That would not be the mor

Wow, I'm surprised that even on HN people are missing the fundamental issue here: MS is injecting their ads into a competitor's products. You can hate Google nagging you all you want, but they are doing it on their own properties

In my province electricity is $0.024 / kWh overnight (that's about $0.17 USD) so almost free and comes from almost entirely renewable sources. So, I would be happy to run it every night (excepting July & August), but the BOINC

Well, given that that restriction added to the meta-llama license is aimed at Google, is petty, and goes against open source norms, I think it’s reasonable that they should feel this way about it.
