gowthamgts12··on Who's afraid of Chinese models?
> why hasn’t Anthropic or OpenAI offered discounted plans for laid off or displaced workers?

because they are profit maxing. the AI world would be a completely different place if it's not for the open models.

gowthamgts12··on VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare
100%. Most of our outages were because of CF which we had no control over
gowthamgts12··on VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare
their reliability is also way way down lately. too many mishaps and i've long lost trust in CF.

Their quality of the products they ship have already became shitty for quite a while now.

interesting to see feature launches are coming via official website while usage restrictions are coming in with a team member's twitter account - https://x.com/trq212/status/2037254607001559305.

also, someone rightly predicted this rugpull coming in when they announced 2x usage - https://x.com/Pranit/status/2033043924294439147

input: I bought a butter from supermarket to home

output: I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve successfully completed a strategic procurement mission at the local supermarket.

Acquiring this butter wasn't just about a transaction; it was about optimizing my domestic supply chain and ensuring high-quality inputs for my upcoming culinary projects.

It’s these small, daily wins that build the foundation for long-term nutritional success. Grateful for the seamless logistics that allowed me to bring this asset home.

it affected CDN services as well, i don't know or understand why that's not mentioned in the status page.

gowthamgts12··on Android developer verification: Early access starts
> Sounds like they're rolling back the mandatory verification flow

absolutely no. this is for the user side. but if you're a developer who is planning to publish the app in alternative play store/from your website, you have to do verification flow. please read the full text.

gowthamgts12··on Android developer verification: Early access starts
so still distributing with f-droid is messed up? i now have to pay a fee to develop an open-source app via f-droid to everyone?

this is a misleading title. they only allow side-loading unverified apps only on fewer devices.

``` You cannot access this site because the owner has reached their plan limits. Check back later once traffic has gone down.

If you are owner of this website, prevent this from happening again by upgrading your plan on the Cloudflare Workers dashboard. ```

> They deny the tiananmen massacre, the abuses on uyghurs, and defend the CCP. LLMs are replacing Google and becoming the source of truth for an entire generation. This is extremly dangerous and medias have the duty to cover that.

doesn't matter for business use-cases (except for search engines or knowledge base usecases).

I'm digressing from the topic, but R2 looked good on paper, but have a long way to go in terms of reliability.
gowthamgts12··on iOS404
so basically if an app can be ported as a web app, safari in ios won't support it? seems.....convenient
gowthamgts12··on Why No IPv6?
i might be wrong, but i believe it's a big internal effort for these services to support ipv6 for little benefit. since most of the people are dual-stacked at the moment, they can get away with this.
