This is correct. It’s quite possible to both satisfy more customers and work within your constraints.

Eg $30 bucks lifetime would be nice. You could put it in small print below the main pricing to avoid decision fatigue and keep things streamlined for subs.

Often those early adopters appreciate and become advocates. Subs fatigue is a real thing

With the wild pace of everything going on right now. I can’t be alone feeling it truly captures the hacker spirit. Echoes to early Lisp days, or maybe my high school side quest to learn Minix? Ie building from scratch and seeing what’s possible.

Sadly most of us will never have the staying power (well definitely not myself) and yet you gave us a little window into your passion.

Thank you for the inspiration. Especially the focus on compounding small wins and including us in your orbit. Long live Anos

You're not. IMHO it's a fairly obvious, narrow and uncontroversial observation (and hence why its the top comment). That said, I personally still enjoyed the back and forth as many others one could imagine. There can be value in the counterarguments from multiple other usernames, as this facilitates sharpening reasoning for the conclusion from readers. (even when the original premise stays in tact)

The lack of others agreeing could be the result of many reasons. IMHO, a not insignificant one could be the incentive structure skews heavily towards lurking as HN rightfully disincentives "me too" type replies and not everyone always has something interesting to add

2c not an epistemologist ymmv

The track record of the really big CEOs has been less than super good nervous sweating

Maybe I’m being naive, but there a few good ones (smaller and mid tier size) out there imo

Kind of reminds me of worrydream (Brett Victor), better explained and neil.fun vibes (and many others I can’t recall right now)

It’s not like “OpenAI == AI”

One could possibly make the case that currently that is the public perception (outside the SV bubble). But is it really true?

Last time I checked Dario staked Anthropic’s future and reputation, on paid subscription.

If I may offer a slight consideration? “arbitrary code vs arbitrary signed code”.

What’s realistically stopping Apple from requiring all code and processes be signed? Including on device dev code with a trust chain going back to Apple and TPU / Secure Enclave enforcement

The fact that you offer a real (i.e. full-featured) free plan is really nice. Congrats on your success and finding a business model that works. :)

By analogy, the 'the web' does not only mean HTTP or even the exclusively just the various protocols involved. (to name a few on the client side: ip, tcp, dns, http, http/2, tls, ws/wss etc.)

The term also refers to the use of browsers, hosted websites and the culture surrounding how society interacts online with these sites. In short, 'the web' is an ecosystem just like bitcoin.

With that said, it's widely accepted that the proof of work system has not yet been compromised, nor has the network itself. However, let's not gloss over the fact that there's a rather established hacking problem in the space affecting a broad audience.

ransomeware, hacked exchanges, personal wallet attacks, online wallet attacks, 2fa attacks. Even a few of the most paranoid and technically savvy early adopters, have fallen victim to such schemes.
