But if you still want ChatGPT/Claude, then you simply create a custom bang and associate it with something like `https://chatgpt.com/?q=%s`
So now in your address bar you type "how to center a div !gpt" and it will start a session with your query
Their friend are probably the kind of people conflating Chrome/Google with "The Internet"
And I think on Android its even less clear the distinction between the browser app and "Google"
I used to be deep into photography in the 00s, until I came to the conclusion that I was spending lots of money, spending hours trying to take the perfect picture and then hours reworking them on the computer... for what?
Sure, I had fun while doing all of this, but to me art is about sharing. And given the sheer amount of pictures that were published daily on Flickr at the time, I basically had to spend more time in trying to reach out to people to share with them, than in creating something, which was my initial goal.
Or I could strong-harm my relatives, but I myself hate people that are forcing me to watch at their kids/holidays pictures, so...
And looking at the figures on your pictures, taking them at absolute value (not considering what personal value you can give them), it seems that your art is not seen by many. Contrary to thousands of random pictures of take-away than can reach thousands of eyes in a mater of hours.
Which is, to me, depressing. You put your soul in something and it has almost no reach, while random snapshots got millions of views.
And I see how the same thing will apply to software: flood of vibecoded trash that can be used by many, while deeply thought after software will be used by a few.
The good news for me here is that I never thought software as art but only a tool. I can vibecode the hell out of an issue, and the code will live on my private repos. Don't care. Sometimes I put stuff on Github but I don't care if someone (or something) uses it. I'm focussed on solving my issues.
> Google has... ?
At least that's my understanding from discussing with people praising GCP.
Let's say you want a big cloud provider, but you don't want Azure because of Microslop's old and recent history, and you don't want AWS because it's the default cloud provider.
You're left with GCP. And many people are stuck in the 00's, and still believe Google is the cool kid crushing the boring old corporations.
> I do suspect that OAI is doing some guerrilla marketing here, while Anthropic isn't really marketing or doing PR at all.
Sure, there's probably some accounts that are more or less controlled by the big AI labs here.
But looking at how humans have been acting for the last 20 years, you'll see that you don't need to pay people to promote things. They'll do it freely, because they identify with it and they can't fathom other people not agreeing with them.
Do you really thing that the weekly posts about people dropping AWS for Hetzner are paid by the German company?
No.
People have limited time and money. Some picked Claude, others picked Codex. Claude seems to be the most popular in terms of content produced about it. So some people probably picked Codex just because they don't want to be like everyone else. Then they obviously have to talk down about Claude, because if Codex is not better, then they are not. Simple.
And from my POV that's not a good thing because HN was the place where people didn't act like this. It was pragmatism and honest debate.
Now it's becoming: my agent is better than X, my stack is better than Y...
> Level 3 is the deciding. What to build at all [...] AI lowered the cost of Level 1. It did not touch Levels 2 or 3.
Sure, I'm still the one _deciding_, but AI suggested things that I would never have thought about.
A tornado is something big and temporary.
Someone who makes a mess but stays to fix it cannot be described as a tornado.
I worked with actual TT and with people fitting the profile of your guy.
To me they are quite different and have a different impact on the teams they work "with".
I would say your guy is more a Sisyphus.
The ones I met where thought as hard working by management, because they actually were.
If your guy works extra on Sunday for free, they're working hard in my books.
They were not thought as stars, but they were more liked than average 9-5ers. "I know he's not great, but at least he's compensating by working harder".
In the end, if they make something not great, but the work expected from what they do is actually achieved, that's more than most.
And I honestly prefer the Sisyphus to the TT. At least I know they'll own what they do. Not drop it on everyone else to go chase their next "miracle".
During a recruitment process with a company a few years ago, they quite early asked for my GH profile and complained that I hadn't much content available.
Later, they asked me to do a small exercise and put it on my GH account.
When they sent me the contract, there was a clause telling that I would work for them exclusively and would not be allowed to contribute to anything else than company projects, even in my own time.
I didn't signed, and every person in the process seemed unable to understand what was wrong.
What I want from Obsidian is something that "just works". Adding third-party plugin would break this immediately since the plugins can either be straight up buggy, create conflicts with each other or simply become incompatible with new Obsidian releases.
And what I've seen from the community, with people having dozens of plugins installed, is giving me nightmares.
I can see why some would feel the appeal of plugins, and adding two or three can be fine, as long as you do your due diligence. Otherwise it's straight shooting you in the foot.
What doesn't help also is that translation tools/AI models will naturally translate "il" after "Claude Code" to "he" since Claude is an actual person name.
Using "AI model" instead is translated to "it" by all tools/AI models I tried.
Same experience here.
I've already ripped my thumb while trying to remove a card.
Now I use the back of iFixit's Jimmy to push them out.
You're absolutely right! Damn!
At least it should make it easier to use France Connect with the QR code stuff instead of the credentials from other websites...
I'm tired of having to connect on EDF' shitty website to get a new PDF every three months.
I just set it up!
A bit bumpy because login on Ameli/Impôts wasn't working on Orion so I had to go on Safari, but otherwise its done. I even have colored pictures on the virtual CNI/Permis!
Thanks!
EDIT: Why do the put three stats about trains on your linked page?!
Amazon abandoning +14yo products, I don't care. I'm surprised they kept them alive that long. And they'll still work, just not with the store.
The DRM/Kindle for PC thing, I don't care. I'm perfectly aware that "buying" a digital good is actually a temporary license. I'm paying for the convenience, not to own "something". And since I've paid my fair share of "copie privée" tax, if I want to grab a persistent copy of an ebook I purchased on Amazon, I got it from the high seas.
> Sure, it cost me £6/mo to serve ONE lambda on AWS (and perhaps 500 requests per month)
On the other hand, we have dozens production workloads on Lambda handling thousands of requests daily and we spend like $50/mo on Lambda.
I'm really intrigued by what you did to get to those figures!
They don't.
And reading the article, they don't seem to understand that.
Usually those articles describe two situations:
- they were "on the cloud" for the wrong reasons and migrating to something more physical is the right approach
- they were "on the cloud" for the right reasons and migrating to something more physical is going to be a disaster
I've seen that one!
As soon as I see a clickbait thumbnail/title, I ask to not show it anymore.
On a daily basis I get 90% of interesting content on the home page.
It particularly works great for music; now I get better recommendations from YouTube than from Spotify (which is my main music platform).
My coding is done with OpenCode with an OpenRouter API Key.
Going with KiloCode would be doing the same, but with some more layers.
And given that I can't see the on-demand API pricing, I'm really not convinced on how it would be an improvement.
Having access to dozens of models through a single API key, tracking cost of each request, being able to run the same request on different models and comparing their results next to each other, separating usages through different API keys, adding your own presets, setting your routing rules...
And once you start using an account with multiple users, it's even more useful to have all those features!
Not relying on a subscription and having the right to do exactly what you want with your API key (using it with any tool/harness...) is also a big plus to me.
With their drones they now have cameras roaming freely everywhere.
Yeah I thought that it would be the KS range but didn't see anything close in term of pricing.
16TB for $35 is a no-brainer!
I'm currently migrating away from a KS because the disks are almost dead now so I had to go with another solution for TB storage.
But it was great when it was working!
I would have considered it when rebuilding my media infra but haven't seen anything close to this
