<p>But why would 10% to 20% go to Anthropic rather than being mostly diffused across all providers with the majority actually going to cheap open model providers who provide 90% of the intelligence for the lowest cost?</p>

<p>Here's the thing though: like labor today, employers will constantly be pushing for the lowest possible price. Especially in a world where open models are 90% as capable, the cost of AI labor will quickly drop. Thats not a good thing for Anthropic or any other frontier AI lab. There's a reason most companies don't just hire the top 5% of intelligent individuals. Its really just not needed for most business.<p>Also another aspect: think of the most highly paid workers right now in the US and the companies they work for. Assume that normal people no longer have jobs due to AI. How are these companies going to continue making revenue to pay Anthropic? Anthropic might get a quick buck but a long term growth business is not macro-economically possible for frontier AI businesses.</p>

<p>Its already commoditized. Thats why things like OpenRouter are useful and successful because it lets you route inference at the click of a button between different providers after balancing cost and availability. Exactly how commodities behave.</p>

<p>Hey Frenck, longtime HA user here. I know this feature feels pretty safe but I hope you can give <a href="http://cablej.io/blog/k-anonymity/" rel="nofollow">http://cablej.io/blog/k-anonymity/</a> a read on how this ultimately still puts trust in HIBP, a third party cloud service. In my opinion this might help with understanding why people are rightfully worried, especially when they thought they are running a very local and private HA instance.</p>

<p>Thats the thing though, it's not safe [1] and puts trust in a third party - HIBP.<p>To do that automatically without any notice to the user breaks the fundamental value proposition of a local home assistant which over and over again preaches keeping things local and private.<p>As someone who relies on home assistant every day, I'm quite disappointed to hear Frenck's response to this.<p>[1] <a href="http://cablej.io/blog/k-anonymity/" rel="nofollow">http://cablej.io/blog/k-anonymity/</a></p>

<p>Can someone explain to me the economics of AI and how it intersects with billing by the hour?<p>I think there would be a strong incentive not to use tools that speed up your work because you'd effectively be able to bill less time?<p>I'm sure there are some firms out there with more work than people, but still wouldn't it be more effective to hire another human who can then bill at a high rate for many hours?</p>

<p>> How much does it cost to build a plugin?<p>> We're seeing an average of $1-3 per plugin.<p>Is this really true, or is it overstated to be safe? Isn't it just a handful of html markup and JS?</p>

<p>So you think there no other way in the world that ice agent would have a bruise? Is there any proof the bruise was from this incident? Did he have any bruises before from any other ice activity?<p>They are grabbing people day in and day out.<p>Again, think.<p>This was the same incident where the administration said they guy was fighting for his life after being struck by the car however:<p>“Eventually, the agent who shot the motorist approaches the vehicle. Seconds later, he turns back around and tells his colleagues to call 911. Agents blocked several bystanders who attempt to provide medical care, including one who identifies himself as a physician. At the same time, several agents, including the agent who opened fire, get in their vehicles and drive off, apparently altering the active crime scene.”<p>Think for yourself.</p>

<p>So the “ICE agent” presented identification to her showing he was law enforcement? Nope. Oh so he got out of a vehicle marked as ICE? Nope.<p>Do you want to live in a country where an unidentified masked individual with a gun can say “im a fed”, stop a car and force someone out without proper ID? That’s what you’re in support of. I’d say one would have a right to self defense.<p>Also internal bleeding was literally just a bruise, like the internal bleeding I get from walking into the corner of my coffee table.</p>

<p>This may not be a huge issue depending on mitigating controls but are they saying that anyone can submit a PR (containing anything) to Immich, tag the pr with `preview` and have the contents of that PR hosted on https://pr-<num>.preview.internal.immich.cloud?<p>Doesn't that effectively let anyone host anything there?</p>

<p>I know im in the minority but I have a car (Mazda) that has CarPlay but no touch screen, so you have to scroll through the elements on the screen with a wheel.<p>iOS 26 is terrible on it. They decided to use gray as their selection color where it used to be a blue outline. So now I need to, while driving, visually hunt for a gray color to see what im about to select.<p>Even worse the gray color can either be the background of a target OR a border around the target, it's not consistent.</p>

<p>You can actually swipe up from the search field at the bottom and that will show all tabs. (If anyone is reading this from apple, that animation should be sped up).<p>However, this doesn't work if you've scrolled down already and the bar is minimized. It literally flashes as if to acknowledge your swipe and does nothing.<p>Also if you miss by moving your thumb just slightly lower, you'll close the app haha.<p>They thought about it a bit, but definitely not enough.</p>
