This article has a satirical quality I'm quite enjoying. To write is to think. If you're not thinking, how are you learning.

Well, I'd be surprised if non-R&D inference providers were selling at a loss. There are a plethora to choose from, competition is quite healthy. Will they keep providing cheap tokens while the labs raise their prices? Probably, but then I don't see how they could be raised in the first place. And what timescale are you talking about? A couple of years? It is appropriate to assume inference will become more efficient over time. If you raise your prices, you are going to be out competed before it's profitable (if you assume it is unprofitable) which would be negligent. I don't see how this makes sense.

If you would be proposing a ban of VPNs to shield people from social medias, you would be missing the forest for the trees.

I keep hearing that AI providers will eventually stop "subsidising inference", but I do not understand how this would make any sense economically. It is already profitable to host AI model inference for prices cheaper than the big labs are charging, as evident by the plethora of providers available to choose from on OpenRouter, for example. The only way prices could rise without competition is if you sidestepped supply and demand.

That's advertising with extra steps. Apple having created an ingroup and an outgroup is very effective advertising on their side.

Is your point that we shouldn't motivate our technological choices? I wouldn't use Docker Compose in production.

I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen when gaussian splatting can be combined with DLSS 5. Gaussian splatting has a lot of potential in video games yet to be realised.

New comment by poly2it in "The AI industry is discovering that the public hates it"

poly2it — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 22:13:17 +0000

Of course I know what mobilised means, but with these social medias, the platforms themselves are at play in shaping the conversations. To clarify, I think this type of anti-AI sentiment should be studied as part of a the baseline social culture of the platforms. I do not have a good answer to why it flourishes on them, other than the generic framing. Perhaps its a new type of technological conservatism?

Have you been on Reddit recently? Anti-AI sentiment isn't limited to technical communities, but engaged with platform-wide. The hate is the content; apart from the rampant anti-intellectualism there is very little engagement with any material discussing the technologies in and of themselves.

This sounds interesting. I've never really considered the constituents of coffee other than caffeine and what unique effects they may bring.

I wonder if I would experience behavioral effects if I replaced my coffee intake with caffeinated non-coffee drinks or pills?

Apparently they are using another version internally.

It doesn't do either at competitive rates by the looks of it.

poly2it — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 05:12:11 +0000

Why is an imperative SSH interface a better way of setting cloud resources than something like OpenTofu? In my experience humans and agents work better in declarative environments. If an OpenTofu integration is offered in the future, will exe.dev offer any value over existing cost-effective VPS providers like Hetzner? Technically, Hetzner, for example, also allows you to set up shared disk volumes:

It also has a CLI, hcloud. Am I getting any value with exe.dev I couldn't get with an 80 line hcloud wrapper?

New comment by poly2it in "Claude Design"

poly2it — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 19:10:49 +0000

I'm not sure if I'm holding it wrong, but at these usage rates, I can hardly see this being useful for designers in their daily work. In two prompts using the Max 20x plan, it consumed 11% of my weekly limit for Claude Design, which is separate from your normal limits. A day of work would exhaust over four weeks of usage. Is this meant for intermittent use only? Lately I've been getting the feeling that Anthropic is forgetting how absurdly much we are already paying for these tools, compared to conventional development tools, or even competing inference providers.
