    This should be a golden opportunity for hackers like us to keep rebuilding this stuff and get bought. A huge waste and completely demoralizing though.

    You can reuse the app indefinitely, for cheap, and predictably. I would say these are huge advantages.

    I would say the tooling plays a part. Where are the go-to open source solution that a beginner can turn to without too much research?

    At this stage, it's easier to block them with uBlock and move on. I don't have a lot of confidence for legislative solutions. Although I admire people who keep trying.

    Privacy aside, who wouldn't want their $8,000 cloud device abruptly shut down when Weave Robotics decides to pivot?

    Do we have any evidence that Tesla is actually working on manufacturing millions of robots?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they had new models up their sleeve. Could be wrong of course.

    A good moment to switch to an open solution like opencode or pi.

    Contrast one regulation vs. thousands of litigations by companies who don't always have the expertise or budget to pursue complex legal procedures.

    This in turn introduces a lot of economic inefficiency, for no good reason. I think regulation would be useful here.

    Not surprising given that 95+% of the time it's total bullshit.

    How would you set the incentives, though? Almost by definition, it's hard to reward things that aren't visible. Note that there is also the flip side of the coin, people who spend …

    Do you pay for the model? Or run it locally? If so, which hardware do you use? Is it fast?

    Ask HN: What do you currently use for AI coding (personal or professional)?

    Given how quickly things evolve, it's easy to get lost in the numerous offerings and hard to get the best deal. So, what do you use? Both clients/harnesses and LLM providers or loc…

    Isn't the database already one of the hardest piece of infras to scale? Why would you want to load it with additional long-running jobs?

    You're right, but what I'm saying is that solving the problem isn't necessarily the primary goal and these new abstractions can be valuable in their own right.

    It's also a way to model the world and produce new useful abstractions. It's not just about solving problems.

    What a wonderful world we live in. And to think that all of this is largely self-inflicted...
