    Interesting.. I just went through the process and passed KYC, but was told my OpenAI that I was rejected from the program. Guessing some device check rejected me.

    I'm not sure inference speed is always the slowest thing for me right now. The agent is running tests, loading webpages, etc, which all take time. I don't know if a fast agent woul…

    Was it replaced though? I still see the option to finance at 0% on https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-17-pro .

    Yeah, 1password or keepass are both fine solutions for password managers in my mind.

    I never found a comfortable way to ensure all of my accounts had more than one U2F key associated with them. I always wished there was a way to have 2 physical U2F keys, one on me,…

    This is a spot where smaller orgs are getting a definite advantage (both cost and speed). If you're a company with 20 - 50 people, you can probably get away with Claude Teams inste…

    Interesting to see, but I also think more and more usage is moving towards subscriptions, which isn't captured by this metric. (both my personal and corporate use has done exactly …

    Which limit? Weekly or 5 hour? I've been using it with hermes and some coding (with opencode), and I am getting a LOT more than one feature out of it, but the work is spread throug…

    Looks like I have access to gpt-5.6-terra and luna. How does one decide between gpt-5.5 and gpt-5.6-terra? Pricing is similar, but it's hard to tell if it's better..

    I personally use opencode so I can swap between models and try different options. I'd say I prefer claude (fable and opus 4.8) so far, but curious to see where gpt 5.6 lands. For p…

    And debit / credit cards are horrible for privacy (name and address info is sent along with payments).

    Agreed. To me this feels like the perfect solution for websites and ai crawlers. Instead of having crawlers paying proxy services and captcha solvers, they can pay the website itse…

    Android does this fairly well for me - it will list out the options as they are spoken, and you can click on them directly to type the number. I believe (but haven't seen this rece…
