Their prices include credits for all the different models, FWIW, with the ability to buy more if you use them up. If I've understood your pricing correctly, you require me to bring API keys for all the models I want to use. I won't say one is better than the other for that reason, but it adds a lot of additional friction for LLM Onestop compared to t3.chat from my perspective.

What's your short pitch for why this is better than https://t3.chat?

They sure as shit do have ads. Have you ever accidentally followed a link using a browser profile that has no ad blocking enabled?

I only rarely browse without some form of content blocking (usually privacy-focused... that takes care of enough ads for me, most of the time). I keep a browser profile that's got no customizations at all, though, for verifying that bugs I see/want to report are not related to one of my extensions.

Every once in a while, I'll accidentally open a link to a news site (or to an archive of such a site) in that vanilla profile. I'm shocked at how many ads you see if you don't take some counter measures.

I just confirmed in that profile: archive.is definitely puts ads around the sites they've archived.

I’m glad you’re prioritizing this and that you consider this a reason to choose a different forge.

I used to work with people who would reply, editing the subject line to end with something like " ACK. <eom>"

These "reaction" message seem about the same as that, and are no more or less annoying. If it became disruptive, I'd rather ask people to stop than fiddle with my server configuration to try to make it stop.

Spammers ruin everything. This gives the spammers a force multiplier.

I guess I'm just lucky, then, to have only dealt with release processes where it's no big deal to do a bump from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 so I can address something like that. Some of them were long and complex, but they were scripted to the point where it was uniformly better to jump by a 0.0.1 than risk having two different releases with the exact same version # in the wild.

My instant reaction was: "Wait?! They weren't immutable before?"

I'm glad they're doing this, and it's an unpleasant surprise that they didn't already work this way. I don't understand why they allow mutable releases.

For sure. But "less shitty than Adobe" isn't a life goal.

IMO people tend to over-trust both AI and Excel. Maybe this will recalibrate that after it leads to a catastrophic business failure or two.

I disagree with your conclusion about the video even as I think Na is an incremental improvement. I think the video hits solidly on why the Bluetti Na Pro product is not yet a good overall product. I still think it's promising (and I think the reviewer does too). I can see why you think he's dismissing environmental/safety/geopolitical concerns. But I don't think so; I think he's simply taking the perspective of what's the best product for someone who needs to live with this as a primary power pack that they use. Obviously, someone could weigh the concerns that you mention higher than the functionality of the power pack. But reviewing it in the context of performance doesn't equate to a dismissal of those, IMO.

I hope it's on the way, but I don't think the Pioneer Na is yet a sign of this revolution. This detailed review didn't leave me in a hurry to go get one, anyway:

This looks like a physical manifestation of a the "Logo" environment we had in our elementary school computer lab.

FWIW, there's another jujutsu GUI called [name-redacted]:

When I saw this, I was hoping that [The Bat!](https://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/) had been released as FOSS. This is still pretty cool.

Thanks. I hadn't followed that concern.

I think a plain read of the license would make it clear that the "distribution" obligation occurs when you make it available on the network to your users (regardless of whether you modified it yourself or paid a contractor to do so), but I'm not a lawyer, so sometimes what looks like plain text to me can have a specific meaning that doesn't make sense to me.

> AGPL isn’t battle tested enough for me to be confident it will protect against big tech doing big tech things like spinning off a separate company in Ireland to firewall AGPL software.

What does it matter if they do? The point of the AGPL is that if you make a version available to users over the network, either you release the source to your version or you can't use it. That subsidiary could still be made to release the source or stop using it. Wouldn't that be "mission accomplished?"

I haven't tried it yet, but that's a great choice of name! Well done.

> I don't know why people love Pi-s so much. They filled a niche, once, years ago, and were quickly outcompeted not even a year and a half after.

They still fill a niche for me, just not a server niche. The easy-to-access GPIO in a close-to-vanilla Linux system really doesn't have a competitor at its price point. For a fourth grade science project last winter, I had a pi 4 already (but it'd have been about $40 at my local microcenter if I hadn't). We were able to source a few $2 sensors off Amazon. I showed her how to look up the pinouts, figure out which GPIO pin to connect the dupont connectors to, and helped her write a python program to log the data from the sensors to a spreadsheet. She had fun with it, learned some stuff, and it really sparked her interest.

I don't think anyone has outcompeted them in accessibility for that kind of tinkering and learning. Or, if they have, they haven't caught my attention yet, and I've usually got my eyes open for that kind of thing.

You're just sharing it with an established AI megacorp :)

(I thought they used free google drive accounts to train Gemini, but I can't find where I saw that now. Does anyone have a reference?)

I remember feeling like the color ribbon was so eye-wateringly expensive that we bought *one* and kept it in a zip lock bag except when we wanted a color print. Usually from The Print Shop. I was young (aged 10 - 15), and it probably wasn't really that expensive. My parents were willing to help with equipment, but we had to pay for consumables ourselves. So any ink, floppies, telephone fees for dialing into BBSs were on us, and we were as stingy about them as you'd expect from kids with limited opportunities to earn money.

> Same for kids, you're not giving a kid your credit card when you send him to a bakery to get bread, you give him a couple of euros in cash.

I got caught out by a thing like this, recently. (I'm on the east coast of the US.)

My kids had a day off from school, and it was a nice day to ride bikes. There's a small municipal park around 5 miles (8 km) away, with a nice mini-golf course and a grill/cafe next to it. They were eager to go by themselves, so I told them they could ride their bikes there and gave each kid enough cash for a round of mini-golf, a cold drink and some lunch.

The park was card only! While that has been happening more and more, I was not expecting that from a city park. Thankfully, they're not shy kids, and they persuaded one of the park employees to use a personal card in exchange for cash. But I was shocked. They're 10 and 13 years old... it had not previously occurred to me that I should give them cards of any kind.

Sort of? I mean the actual news shows have been replaced by things like ESPN Bet Live[1], which are focused on betting. I'd also like the alcohol ads to be fewer and farther between, but the gambling thing has expanded into shows too, not just ads.

When I coach my youth teams, I always list their positions by number. I derive some minor benefit from doing that, but I'm also hoping that by having them learn the position numbers, it will make it easier for them to enjoy audio broadcasts of baseball games. There's a special kind of fun in listening to those.

I was just having this conversation with friends a few days ago. We do still watch games, but we all used to also watch sports news/talk shows (e.g. morning pre-football coverage, SportsCenter, and the like) and most of us have stopped. Some of the shows are now exclusively focused on betting.

I'm all for consenting adults to be able to legally place wagers at outlets that are not swindling them, or offering the kinds of loans that could get a person's legs broken.

But I'm so tired of ALL THE COVERAGE being about betting. It was more fun when the coverage was mostly sports, and Al Michaels had to sneak in the odd mention of what the point spread was for a game he was broadcasting.

Even my friends who enjoy gambling don't like the media coverage of it. I guess we're not a representative sample.

I haven't tried them on my own blog yet, but on blogs I read, both the Bluesky comments you linked and this mastodon comment system:

https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/adding-comments-to-your-sta...

have been pleasant.

When he's making arguments and offering analysis, I think they're very often sound. That's why I (at least sporadically) continue to listen to episodes of his podcast, or read his pieces.

I'd love to read/listen to one that he worked on with a talented editor. I don't mind the swearing or the tone, and I enjoy a good rant here and there, but for me the amount of rambling and ranting obfuscates the good points he's making, just by sheer volume.

I don't generally use/need Traefik. But the cheese shirt makes me unreasonably happy, and if it appeared for sale on some easily accessible site for a decent price, I'd very likely order one.

That's wild. I've been a Zoho customer for some time, and I've never heard anything about that.
