The free battery deal ended in January, but you're likely better off as mine ended up getting a damaged screen while being transported for mail in (because all local stores stopped doing the program), and they wanted to charge me an extortionate price to fix the screen. Support were useless

It's monetisation. If they put a paywall on the video, your browser has the functionality to play the video but you're forced to pay to use that functionality.

Also wrt phone, it's different because I paid for the phone. But also I'd just use a different camera app?

While I'm not pro YouTube, I think it's fine for companies to decide how to monetise their product, including things which were originally free. If you don't like free services, stop using them

I feel like any deviation from the syntax LLMs are trained on is not productive.

Sure you can represent the same code in fewer tokens but I doubt it'll get those tokens correct as often.

I never want to unknowingly use an app that's driven this way.

However, I'm happy it's happening because you don't need an LLM to use the protocol.

Stopped at 74 but managed to par all before that somehow. Didn't really do any problem solving/deep thinking about it, just clicking what felt right

I don't think you can apply Unix philosophy to a (GUI) web browser, you don't use it compositionally.

Fair enough, but this isn't that case. They have Y (it's in the first photo) and tested a previous version of the model. The changes are predictable (rotating letters and slight scaling) so I don't think it's unreasonable to be confident and not waste plastic.

What do you mean by "CSS is basically pre-tokenized input"? Can you give an example of what you have trouble with?
