I don't care that Anthropic sells shovels in the gold rush

The people selling shovels are the ones building data centers and energy. Tokens are the "gold".

Nice job! I made something similar, mostly for myself: https://www.vexling.com

Plan to keep it forever free :)

This "guy" is worth on the order of all football players put together.

Ironic that the link you sent has a pretty detailed (albeit rude) answer that specifically mentions that this is an issue with surround :)

But you'd have no idea because they somehow completely deleted the neighbour's dialogue from the audio

This sounds pretty unlikely. It's more likely that there's an issue with your surround system, and that audio "should" be coming from your rear speakers but for some reason it's not.

So close to being the first kilocorn. A unicorn = 1 billion, this is almost 1k.

Is this because of the tok/s? Since it's pretty easy to run up a $5k bill in API usage for Claude/ChatGPT in a month.

I'll buy your macbook if you're trying to get rid of it!

The entire basis of this article is that generating tokens is a variable cost and that that cost will not decrease over time.

On an economic basis, a monthly subscription only makes sense with relatively static costs.

Running a data center is a fixed expense. Whether or not people use that data center to it's capacity doesn't change how much the operator pays (electricity use factors into this, since a GPU running at 100% will use more watts than an idle one, but it doesn't move the needle much on other fixed and variable costs of a data center).

They also assumed, I imagine, that the cost of tokens would come down over time, versus what actually happened — while prices for some models might have come down, newer “reasoning” models burn way more tokens, which means the cost of inference has, somehow, gotten higher over time.

This is backwards. When the cost of something goes down, people use it more. This is basic supply and demand. Inference has gotten cheaper already, and will continue to do so.

Companies subsidizing costs for growth happens all the time. Yes, switching to usage-based pricing instead of subscriptions sucks for customers, but enterprises will continue to pay.

Is 100 t/s the stadard for models?

In what way?

SATA, not NVMe, they will still be making SSDs.

Google started out by sponsoring Firefox, then hired many of their key developers to build Chrome. Cloudflare is likely doing the same thing, they know that strategically they depend too much on Google for the browser. This will get their foot in the door without making a large commitment. If the project goes well, it will be absorbed into Cloudflare in a few years.

Wrong. India is the most populous country, and the third highest emitter.

courts can subsequently order U.S. service providers to block access to these sites.

So looks like this will be at the ISP level, so should be able to be circumvented easily with VPNs.

The scary part is it's likely to lead to a lockdown on VPNs in the future.

I will get a lot of heat for this but I think the FAA has killed a lot of people.

It drives my crazy that in 2025 ADSB is still not mandatory for all aircraft. I get there's old timers flying their tail wheels from the 1950s that don't have any electrical components, but this would massively improve GA safety.

Another one is multiplex radio, again, it's 2025, the technology is there. Why are we still seeing so many blocked communications during emergencies in busy airspaces?

The regulation especially hurt small businesses, bootstrapped companies, and those making a small loss or profit.

How does this affect FAANGs?

Since when is racism okay on HN?

500k isn't FAANG++, it's standard FAANG comp

Thanks, makes sense.

Which high school is teaching quantum mechanics for juniors? Is this like a crazy private school?

Person of color is not for "non-white", see: east asians.

I run k8s "in my house", which is probably different than what you had in mind, but it might still be useful for others.

I use ESXi and run a separate master node and a separate worker node. There's around ~12 services running in the worker node, mostly things related to media. I maintain a workbook for how I bring up a new node and how I upgrade the cluster, which are the normal operations I've had to do in the past. For example, in the past I had too little storage allocated to the worker node and it was easier to bring up a new one than to edit the existing one.

I use dynamic volumes that use NFS on my NAS for any data that needs to be persisted across pod restarts. This works surprisingly well. I use nfs-client-provisioner with helm.

I also use a combination of MetalLB, an nginx ingress controller, and a BIND service so I can point the DNS on my laptop to the BIND server and I can access all my services using DNS instead of IPs.

how the world was working in 2001 and choosing who to send to Gitmo

"Gitmo" didn't open until 2002

instead of leaving residents dealing with those costs.

Residents will be mostly the ones paying these costs. Residents are not exempted.

For how progressive HN seems to be I'm surprised at all the support this is getting here. At the end of the day this about as regressive a tax as you can make.

And the whole point of this tax is to fund the most mismanaged organization in NYC -- the MTA.

which is why you should use arrow

invasion

you mean incursion

I love how there's a perfect counter to every single point you posted. It seems like some people just want to hate.

- I can't upload random video to the netflix, and I have a certain expectation regarding content there

That's a bug, not a feature. You're basically restricted to the tastes of Netflix's buyers.

- 99% of videos on youtube are not something I would pay for or expected to be paid for uploading

Then you're watching the wrong videos. Most of the videos that I and my friends watch are high quality, entertaining, and informative. Their creators usually have Patreons making five figures monthly.

- I can pay for youtube subscription and would still get a lot of advertisement, because I dared to turn SponsorBlock off. Creators have a very good reason to use this type of ads, and youtube have all responsibility of not providing solutions for this.

You can easily skip these, not sure what the issue is here.

- I can pay for HBO max and watch Sopranos. On youtube I can pay and content of interest could be deleted next second

Guessing you started streaming only recently, since Netflix/Hulu/HBO all change their inventory frequently due to licensing. It wasn't long ago that you could watch Sopranos on Amazon.

- I have no idea if my favourite creator was demonetised for DMCA spam by youtube, but I certainly know they are not treated as equal partners in this business in many ways.

This isn't a problem with YouTube, it's a problem with the US legal system.

- Ultimately I pay for content, and subscription guarantees some kind of investment from the platform in acquiring or producing it. Not true for youtube.

This is your best one, YouTube has created tons of wealth for creators and has cut out tons of the usual Hollywood intermediaries. Additionally, there has never been a greater investment made on storing and distributing video like the one Google made on YouTube.

Would be cooler if it looked like this: https://finviz.com/map.ashx
