I think you know that this service is impossible to provide for free, and that the quality to cost ratio of Mullvad's service is highly competitive.

You can just input your $X per month/week/whatever yourself as API credits

Exactly, that's what I wanted to know. No other way to find out than to test, though. Don't know how easy it would be to wire it up.

Does it make sense to create a Wasm build of this for the browser? Or is the speedup mainly due to the browser spawning step rather than execution/rendering itself?

All AI features are purely work saving

Performance is an excellent proxy for transistor count. Somebody else replied with the actual transistor counts, which had basically equal scaling.

What is that, 6 years for less than a doubling? Nothing against the Apple chips themselves, but gone are the days of Moore...

The problem is they don't "let the developers do the work themselves" If only the platform was open enough that developers had real access, Apple might get away with like you say n…

I also find it a bit extreme how many people feel the need to add some sort of disclaimer every time they say something nice about the guy who died: - "I strongly disagree with Cha…

It's just that a lot of people argue badly, either because of lacking skill or lacking goodwill. That doesn't mean their arguments are necessarily wrong. It is necessary to try to …

I want a version of this where the camera is flush with the surface of the phone. I understand and accept that this means the camera will be worse.

Clearly the logical threshold is when a single private corporation becomes the gatekeeper to your life. The internet itself is decentralized so that's fine. Mobile phones as a conc…

The "use a website instead" angle should work for the majority of things people spend phone time on. For the few things that could not be a PWA, some extra effort is needed.

The problem is larger than just smart phones. Smart phones are the templates for all future devices. You car now runs Android as well. In the future, when your whole house is contr…

Society is held back so much when the most capable have to live by rules made for the least capable. Give the knowledgeable the freedom to use their skills. Separately, develop way…

I have come to the conclusion that both Android and iOS, along with the banking systems, are all doomed platforms. Even something like GrapheneOS, in theory the best path to securi…

This answer always comes up but then how do you explain the other 4 Nordic countries?

The usual one is "NGMI" (Not Gonna Make It) But you just have to assume based on context here that he intends to say "Aren't Gonna Make It"

The Instagram app surfaces Threads posts and automatically redirects you to the Threads app if you click. Threads web visitors is very low compared to rivals, it's mostly this Inst…

I have never heard of Grok using actual slurs. Controversial reaponses from the custom tuned Twitter bot, sure. But never as far as a slur.

Wish they had said something about open sourcing their SDK. They mentioned Leptos as an inspiration but this is clearly very different and has a lot of interesting features.

Because it's hard to fully comprehend or feel complete certainty of what is going to happen.

It seems like you're saying that if we can't guarantee success then there is no point even trying. If their assessment of the eventual significance of AI is correct like you say, t…

"how someone so smart can be so naive" Do you really think Ilya has not thought deeply about each and every one of your points here? There's plenty of answers to your criticisms if…
