Are compute resources so tight they’d want to make their products as unappealing as possible on purpose?

Wonder if this is due to Japan’s marketing laws? Doing it this way exposes more of what’s between the bread.

AI is creating jobs, too, so this information isn’t really valuable if you want a clear image of its impact on employment.

Done and done. Hope everyone can find the time and do the same.

And it's available on their coding plans, even the cheapest one.

The pricing on this is absolutely nuts.

D gets no respect. It's a solid language with a lot of great features and conveniences compared to C++ but it barely gets a passing mention (if that) when language discussions pop up. I'd argue a lot of the problems people have with C++ are addressed with D but they have no idea.

"And it made me think - why are these people so insistent, and hostile? Why can't they live and let live? Why do they need to convince the rest of us?"

Same could be said about the anti-AI crowd.

I'm glad the author made the distinction that he's talking about LLMs, though, because far too many people these days like to shout from the rooftops about all AI being bad, totally ignoring (willfully or otherwise) important areas it's being used in like cancer research.

"The idiotic waste of gigantic amounts of civilizatory resources, for something that hasn't remotely proven useful yet"

"I personally don’t touch LLMs with a stick. I don’t let them near my brain."

Then why should I care about your opinions of them if you have zero experience using them?

Oh cool, someone else that appreciates Windows 2000 more than XP. There are dozens of us!

With this kind of pricing I wonder if it'll be available in Gemini CLI for free or if it'll stay at 2.5.

"A good friend recently told me that she spent a night with a man, and in the morning suggested they get breakfast together. He took out his phone, opened ChatGPT, and asked for restaurant suggestions. Why get close to someone who outsources decisions, including the fun ones like picking where to eat?"

Same logic applies to using Google, I guess? Or any mapping app? How about Yelp?

This is how I've always done it and I was blown away when I found out people do it backwards. It makes no logical sense.

For the longest time I didn't know you could change its personality. This helps a lot!

I'm REALLY liking this, way more than I thought I would. Great job! What's your stack if you don't mind my asking?

Pretty cool! I see you support deploying to Vercel. Any plans to support other hosts?

No transparent compression?

This screams of uneducated regret with a sprinkling of greed. How do you make your code open source but then not understand what open source is? Or even read the license?

Don't forget to rand(rand()).

Watching Meta's downfall unfolding in real-time wasn't something I had on my 2025 bingo card.

Kind of weird to believe “slop” didn’t exist on the internet in mass quantities before AI.

Cool, an open source project in a language no one can use. Say what you will about V, at least it exists.

If only the opposition were this concerned about the harmful effects of far more dangerous drugs like alcohol.

SO is a toxic cesspool, especially for people new to programming or just looking to learn. If ChatGPT and other AI tools can get the job done without resorting to asking anything from the SO “community”, that’s a victory.

Still five months away. Looks like a solid enough improvement, though.

I don't know how a language that sets itself up to be a better C turns into this monster of horrible syntax and patterns that's nothing like C at all.

Wonder is Backblaze will follow suit. They're part of the bandwidth alliance with Cloudflare and that's great, but if you're using B2 for personal use and want to get data from a private bucket, you're still paying $0.01/GB egress after the first gigabyte.

There goes the competitive pricing...

The PS4 Pro had heat and noise issues so it looks like they've taken that feedback very seriously. Happy to see liquid metal there, too, instead of the usual blob of below-average grey goo you'd typically see in a mass market consumer product.
