Someone applying for PR at 30 has far more time to contribute than someone applying for PR at 50.
It is evident (in my opinion) as to what the comment was talking about. I personally switched away from all Claude models recently for the same reason.
I’m trying to self-host as much of my stuff as possible, but don’t have time to tinker like I used to. Hence updates, backups (etc) fall by the wayside in favour of “set and forget”.
Personally, before doing anything else, I would take at least 3-4 weeks and have a proper break. It will take you at least 1-2 weeks to get out of “work mode”.
Stop thinking about work, ideas, the next thing, etc. Get off social media, HN, Reddit etc. Try and distance yourself from all of the things that may have contributed to the burnout in the first place.
I’d probably do some travel in that time - maybe a week or two going to a country I haven’t been to before.
Once I was back, I’d then start to consider my next move with (hopefully) a fresher and clearer mindset.
1. It overthinks — Just like the previous iteration. High confidence. 2. It doesn’t overthink — Improvement from the last model for your use case. Regression for others. 3. It sometimes overthinks — Best case all around. A feature, not an impairment.
One final thing worth mentioning: (I made myself irrationally angry writing this)
1. You wouldn’t get the score you needed to get into a good University and/or accepted into the course you wanted. 2. If you didn’t get into that course, you wouldn’t be able to do <x> for a career. 3. If you DID get into the course you wanted, it needed to be at a top University (which of course required an even higher entry score) or else you’d find it hard to get a job afterwards.
Imagine all of that stress: Telling 16-18 year olds that unless you ace your tests, you won’t be able to do what you want to in life.
While most of the industry focuses on the frontier of “intelligence” (function), a release like this represents the frontier of the other end of the spectrum (form).
Both are important if we ever want to see “Opus-level” capability running locally on commodity machines in the future.
GPT-5 cost $10 (per 1M output)
They still have to pay back those hundreds of billions of investment dollars somehow.
The best thing any developer can do today is to make their app LLM/provider agnostic (or use an LLM gateway) to avoid lock-in.
GPT 5.6 Terra: Was $15.00. Now $12.00.
(edit: formatting)
I know Brave do this already. Not sure about DDG (I wonder if their agreement with Bing would allow it?)
As the token bills start to come in, those economics will be harder to ignore (regardless of the origin of the LLM); especially as there will be many CIOs sweating over their quick and costly AI initiatives showing little ROI.
My hope is that the EU also steps up their own competition in the frontier model space so that it’s not just China v USA.
I could understand if it was drug smuggling, but maple syrup? That crossed the line for me.
I hope Louis can pull himself together and come back from this.
Are there any plans to offer a simple/configurable WAF either as an included feature or as an optional add-on?
EDIT: Removed one of my questions as it’s answered on the website, and apparently I need to learn to read.
(To be clear: I am no fan of OpenAI)
“You asked, and we listened: Introducing Max Plus, our biggest plan yet, designed for those…” blah blah
I distinctly remember sitting there in silence with my mouth open at a number of points during the game.
I went down the ~~MONIKA~_ route, though I was intrigued by %]~JUST_MONIKA%]€_ - She seemed like an interesting character.
- How did you go about developing this?
- Was the entire thing vibe coded or just part of it? No shade either way, just curious.
- How long did it take?
- What were some of the harder hurdles to overcome?
- Given the use of AI, what’s your approach to security of your users data? How did you review any generated code?
Solitude in your 30s (particularly as a DINK or SINK household) is dangerously addictive.
No need to leave the house… but it does lead one to feel disconnected more broadly over a prolonged period.
They’ll have to pry WFH out of my cold, dead hands; but I must say, the times I do travel to the office and spend a day chatting with people are incredibly energising (though also very unproductive!)
I’ve tried this in the past and had to revert as I found it made a noticeable difference in my day-to-day.
Curious to hear the experience of others.
Edit: I forgot HN strips emojis.
It’s always been ironic to me that a Privacy browser is dependent on source code primarily controlled by a company that derives the majority of its revenue from ads… exactly what the browser itself was spun off to shield its users against.
When I use Frinkiac, I already know the quote (or at least a few words from it), and I simply want a still or short gif of it (with a customized caption typically).
YMMV of course.
