    Currently, a $20/month openai subscription gives roughly $400 in codex api credits. That doesn’t count what you can get from the web chatbot. So it better be that api tokens are se…

    It's the default setting and most website operators have no idea what they are doing.

    Only very minimally. A dollar is no longer worth that much. People who live under 1-2 dollars a day probably aren't browsing that much internet per day. - https://ourworldindata.or…

    How many pages does the average software developer visit everyday? 1.000? Price at 0.001 per load and it’ll be completely impractical for crawlers but super cheap for the average c…

    The previous poster doesn’t realize he is part of the problem. He wants everyone to go back to the office so that he can see people face to face again and have the social pressure …

    I have a barely known/used GitHub application and losing it from time to time over some qq#%@ repo that blows up both my actions and CloudFlare workers. Over a few hundreds of repo…

    Open Source is a marketing term if your solution takes $2m worth of compute or devops time in order to run properly. The idea is, you have a way out if you want to leave. An option…

    What a bunch of garbage - permission-ed system when we’ve got lightning and super low cost blockchains. They could even run their own L2. - I am typing my name in a cafe and hear s…

    These half-measures is why everything has gone to shits. Instead of properly auditing software, reducing the quantity and increasing the quality, we keep pushing more and more garb…

    Where do you draw the line though? Because plants themselves (DNA-beings) are also alive . Unless you decide to go on a full mineral diet.

    Yes, everyone knows it's a button you press. Trump has been shouting about that for the last year.

    Here is GLM 5.2 ( https://codeinput.com/s/HAO0qTxw2ia ) which is still inferior to Opus. I can't find Qwen 3.8 which now is my daily driver replacing GLM. This SVG test matches my …

    Any reason to think that bots are linux and not windows/macos. If you look at crawling resellers, you can simulate mac/windows/ios/android. Why would crawlers prefer linux over tho…

    The thing is, there is an ongoing linux boom (the percentage doubled which means linux user base has effectively doubled too). But god help us in this AI-slop phase.

    I highly suspect they are real humans being paid to do it. AI will have produced a much more detectable result.

    Even Pi sucks. I can no longer get it to open. OpenCode sometimes consumes all my 32Gb of memory. Codex sometimes doesn't display the full output (display issue). I stopped using C…

    Because they are short-term and many are staying just for the day + bringing family (like kids, which is why they use AirBNB instead of a hotel). The check-in/check-out already add…

    I wonder with the spacex thing if this should be revised. “Smart money” have figured out what you are doing and they are at the gates.
