I just skimmed it and dont see how anyone would come to a conclusion of schizophrenia/mental illness.

However, I only skimmed it because I REALLY did not care for all the prose etc... It was literally unreadable/incomprehensible (without investing considerably more effort). This seems to echo one of the comments in the original HN discussion.

But, if it made you happy to write and re-read it, then I'm in favour of it. Keep doing your thing. Evidently some other people like it as well.

IIRC, there once was a foundation created to create AI that is open for all. What happened to it?

Give Vivaldi a try. I used edge on windows and android ever since it started used chromium, and switched to Vivaldi on Linux and android 8 months ago. Generally quite happy with it - not really missing any features from edge.

Why not Vivaldi on android as well, and benefit from sync etc? That's what I've been doing for about 8 months now. Generally quite happy.

Part of their model is that not everyone will use their entire quota each month. I don't think I will. I use under $1/day with deepseek v4 flash. We get $60 for the $10 sub.

This is my observation as well with deepseek by flags. It takes too much initiative, and is often not particularly smart. Yet, I find it is so fast and good at iterating/correcting it's mistakes that it eventually finds the way on its own.

Though, I tend to use it as a pair programmer so just stop it and provide guidance.

The real problem is that it is excessively verbose - it's impossible to keep up with it's train of thought, and not practical to read it all. So I tend it just let it do it's thing then skim a bit and skip to the end for it's summary.

Try opencode go subscription - you get the Chinese models for 6x discount. I use like $1 a day...

Deepseek v4 flash is amazing

Try using opencode go with your github copilot chat. You get easy, cheap access to Chinese models within the familiar interface.

Glad to see Franz is still doing well.

I've been using the FOSS Ferdium (a fork of Ferdi, which was a fork of Franz) for many years, and generally find it to be a good experience. Anything annoying is surely inherent to electron and the services being connected to.

That's not even slightly what they said. They said that people can trade the stock directly if they want to, rather than have it essentially forced upon them by inclusion in an index

Better than most of star wars? It's incomparably better than anything else star wars has ever done. It's one of the best series I've ever watched. Absolute privilege to be able to see it.

They are correct to not care - it's an absolutely terrible movie, as you'd expect.

No idea why this was downvoted. This is one of many ways in which jj is far better than raw dogging git

It's well established that injuries occur at much higher rates when you have asymmetries/imbalances. Not even just physical "deformities" but just when your body is shifted or twisted in some way such that you don't move with balance.

Its hard to follow your comment as there's a variety of misused words (eg dismantle, dehyphenated) and typos/errors.
