<p>Bitwarden have in my opinion is one of the BEST business models a user can ask for.<p>It's open-source, and I can self-host (100% free) and the free version is really, really good too, and then a premium version is $20/year which is very reasonably priced.<p>Also for cloud hosted password manager, you're always going to have attacks no matter what, but at least they are transparent about it .. (unlike say LastPass, Norton LifeLock, Keeper and possibly others).
For self-hosting it might be better security, solely because no one cares to attack it, but it's not going to be more <i>secure</i> form engineering best practices POV (but again I might be wrong .. I'm not a security engineer of any kind)</p>

<p>I don't know if I get you're points because lobster farms are tied to certain external factors in a way things like data centers aren’t.<p>but either way, the argument feels very NIMBY: it’s not ‘no housing,’ it’s ‘just not here.’<p>so when someone say ‘let someone else host them,’ it really comes across as: I want the internet, just let other communities pay the environmental cost.</p>

<p>yeah, another way to put it: if you don't want factories, that's fine; just don't buy manufactured stuff .. the same with data centers, if you don't want data centers then don't go on the Internet because by doing so you're becoming part of the problem.</p>

<p>yeah we use an LLM for the grading .. (for the free form questions)<p>the flow is basically:<p>When practice questions are generated, the model generates the question + the reference answer together, but the user only sees the question. then on submit, a smaller model grades the learner answer against that reference answer + the grading criteria.<p>I benchmarked a bunch of judge models for this on a small multi-subject set, and `gpt-oss-20b` ended up being a very solid sweet spot for quality/speed/structured-output reliability. on one of the internal benchmarks it got ~98.3% accuracy over 60 grading cases, with ~1.6s p50 latency, so it feels fast enough to use live.<p>for math, it’s not just LLM grading though:<p>- `SymPy` for latex/math expressions, so if the learner writes an equivalent answer in a different form, it still gets marked correct; so `(x+2)(x+3)` and `x^2 + 5x + 6` can both pass. (but might remove that one since it might be easily replaced by an LLM? And it's a niche use that add some maintenance cost)<p>- tolerance-based checks for the JSXGraph board state stuff; so on the graph if you plotted x = 5.2 instead of 5.3 it will be within the margin of error to pass but will give you a message about it<p>I also tried embedding/similarity checking early on, but it was noticeably worse on tricky answers, so I didn’t use that as the main path.</p>
