I dont know what world you/I are living in. I do ask claude to enumerate/explain concepts i am not familiar with. I never approached the free tier limit (is there one?). At work, we have a webpage which ia basically a chat to different models, sometimes i use it

Would I be paying 20€ to ask those questions? I dunno, i dont feel any particular need. Would I be paying 200€?! Are you insane hell no

I have 2 family members for whom Tramadol opened the door for severe addiction. One is now on regular morphine, the other had psychosis. I know it obvisouly depends on the individual, just to dilute your very rosy comment

I always wondered : govt needs support for their IT infra; students need experience. Every damn uni / eng school have a ton of "associations". Just delegate software support/development into universities/eng school? I see it as a win-win

No, because there is a clear separation between the content and the envelop. You wouldnt expect the post office to open your physical letters and write routing instructions to the postmen for delivery

But I agree with sibling comment: it makes more sense when its called "encoding" instead of "inserting chars into original stream"

Okey it does sound better from this POV. Still wierd as its a Client/UI concern, not something a server is supposed to do; whats next,adding "bold" tags on the title? Lol

I am just wondering how it is good idea for a sever to insert some characters into user's input. If a collegue were to propose this, i d laugh in his face

It's just sp hacky i cant belive it's a real life's solution

Dont present our hypothesis as a hard fact. I actually think it is completely false. Not only I was never interested in his political opinions, and followed him because of his humoristic takes "Linux sucks", and not about Rust or whatever; I actually never encountered a single video before joining his "lunduke journal" where his right-wing views would be visible.

He has made funny videos, it was fun to watch. Its kinda hard to enjoy them now after learning he s dumb as a rock and justifies killings if you are of tje wrong nationality
