I really don't get it. Wouldn't you be wasting a lot of resources feeding the bots like this?

Do they offer a subscription like Claude? These models waste so many tokens "thinking", that using via API is a complete waste of money.



At least Anthropic tells you how many more tokens you’re paying for! 5x 10x 20x whatever. Google seems to just say more, higher, highest.


The pricing page for Claude literally says "More usage" for the $17/month pro plan. Doesn't really quantify anything. The usage is whatever they feel like it should be.

And then the very expensive plan says "Choose 5x or 20x more usage than Pro". It's all arbitrary.


I think this ship has sailed.


which one?


If you let it, Claude Code will write a comment for almost every single line of code.


    # Assign value of x to y
    y = x


Even if you try to get them to not, they will still overcomment the code. Or at least overcomment it from the perspective of a human. From the perspective of the LLM, I suspect the comments are necessary for it to be able to get the code output correct.


It's also a discoverability tool. If the code has good docstrings and decent naming for functions/variables it's a lot easier for the LLM to find the correct places to edit.


So we're getting a new console just to play AI-upscaled PS4 and PS5 "remasters"... and I suspect it’ll probably come without any support for physical media. The PS5 will be my last console. There's no point anymore.


Apple wants to make sure they get a 30% cut if you spend money on anything within their ecosystem — that's all they really care about.

There are several reports of people having their entire accounts banned, effectively losing access to everything they paid for. And it's basically impossible to get your account back.


12 people, actually. And it's down from 20 individual testers requirement from when they introduced this policy last year.


Wouldn't this just waste your own bandwidth/resources?


IrfanView was able to load it in about 8 seconds (Ryzen 7 5800x) using 2.8GB of RAM, but zooming/panning is quite slow (~500ms per action)


IrfanView on my PC is very fast. Zoomed to 100% I can pan around no problem. Is it using CPU or GPU? I've got an 11900K CPU and RTX 3090.


There's fast and slow resample viewing options in Irfanview, he may have slow turned on for higher quality.


Those aren't competitors of Spotify/Netflix; they're alternatives for people who are willing to tolerate small inconveniences to have full control over their library.

Of course it's not as easy as signing up for Spotify/Netflix, but setting them up is easier than ever (even easier for tech people).


Yup, the key word for me is control. And over time, considering the continual loss of control, more people will adopt self hosting, and things will get better and easier. For now, i only recommend it to hobbyists or people with free time and money. It does take quite a while to get it all running smoothly.


Cheaper too.
