Cursed by mighty Redmond to roam the market wasteland until death, one of the seventy some odd beleaguered CoPilot products is now being lashed like a haggard burro to the dying light of a once prominent development platform that, upon itself, were pinned the hopes and dreams of a commercial software juggernaut to capture the hearts and minds of developers all around the world.

Well, it is currently cheaper because it is massively subsidized. That will change when subsidies stop. I don’t think it is a good argument.
The claim was "It is cheaper", not "It will be cheaper". Until it actually _is_ cheaper, it doesn't make much sense to purchase $10k+ in hardware to run local models that are still worse than the frontier offerings.
Once it is cheaper, there will be more demand so it will no longer be cheaper. Buying now gets current prices (though demand is still fairly high).
I started moving my repos off GitHub weeks ago, but I'm still waiting for a "good" GitHub competitor to appear. GitLab sucks (if you're not a company and like unnecessary complexity), Codeberg is slow and limited (and has weird mods), Sourcehut UX is weird (and being DDoS'd), Gitea Cloud didn't even have a working login page last time I tried, BitBucket isn't the worst but it has quite a few problems (& isn't set up…
If you want to make your repos public, you could use cgit and the like.

making you pay the actual price of a product is a rug pull now?
Maybe, but this is also a company whose parent organization is worth a trillion+ dollars that have monopolies in multiple verticals. I know American corpos hate the idea of protecting the commons and would rather fuck it raw to fulfill their carnal urge for profit, but you know there are some public goods and services worth fulfilling for a highly productive industry. Maybe the government should nationalize GitHub at…
They should also remove Copilot code reviews from being counted as metrics in a PR. I've seen some projects that use it and you open the PR page to be greeted by every PR having 3-20 comments but when you goto the actual PR, there's no one except the contributor with a bunch of Copilot feedback. It gives a false message that the PR is resonating with folks and has real activity. I wonder if GitHub did this on purpose…
I want to know how many real humans read my post, commented, shared etc.
Clankers can keep their own counts.
scary but thank goodness github actions is highly reliable, robust to change, and has a simple-to-understand ontology.
To the naysayers, I would point out that actions has not only one but TWO 9s of uptime. [1] [1] https://www.githubstatus.com/
It seems that for "actions", the trailing twelve months availability is 98.67%.
Trailing 3 months is even worse :/

There have been plenty of studies which indicate that inference considered by itself is almost certainly quite profitable at all the frontier labs. The problem is amortizing the cost of all the expensive training runs required to train new models into the revenue stream.
Does that mean those running the open models are highly profitable since they don't have to do any training?

Because it doesn't even come close to frontier models in intelligence/speed/price. I can run my 3090 nonstop and rack up an electricity bill that costs more than a subscription and get worse results that are slower. They are ok for simple/non complex things, but that's not really what I need AI for.
if only there was a place that was naturally cold to take advantage of airflow for cooling and cheap renewable electricity thats always on...
