Learning this has also changed my life, but maybe not for the better. Now every time I see someone I know and their shoes are tied in a granny knot I have to waste a bunch of calories deciding if they'd appreciate me telling them.

Have you moved it anywhere else? I checked codeberg and didn't see it there.

Watch the video. They worked around this by selling lego sets to 10 different people (as it was still owned by the lego owner), then the 10 different people all opened separate $10k suits, which they all won.

Then corporate shut down the location to avoid paying the suits they lost.

Not true of non-US companies. I had also added money to Deepseek, and it was still there (and Z.ai and Moonshot are the same). I'm reasonable though, if it's been 5 years or something I might have understood, but it was 1 year and the account was in use during that time.

Where I live (in Canada) it's actually illegal for gift cards to ever expire, and there's lots available from US companies, so if it's an accounting issue other companies have figured it out.

scamming from the literal money

That's par the course for Anthropic. I added some money to my account before I really had a use case for product. A year later they said my money had expired and when I contacted support they basically told me to pound sand.

This while they have the audacity to list one of their corporate values as 'Be good to our users'. They'll never get another dollar from me.

There's a 5 hour difference between the replies, and new data that came in, so the posts aren't really in conflict.

Also it doesn't sound like they know "there's a model issue", so opening it now would be premature. Maybe they just read it wrong, do better to let a few others verify first, then reopen.

not to use the cli tool. You can install it and change the settings to point to pretty much any other model.

It's an okay-enough tool, but I don't see a lot of point in using it when open sources tools like Pi and OpenCode exist (or octofriend, or forge, or droid, etc).

@eieio: whatever email protection you're running is triggering on the extension info. For example I see:

And they’re sent to servers that advertise the availability of the [email protected] extension. What if we just…don’t advertise [email protected]?

If you avoid Chinese-branded devices you should doubly avoid US-branded devices. See National Security Letters and Room 641A as a small subset of why.

There are systems (like the sanco2) that use an indoor/outdoor pump.

This sounds terrible for efficiency in winter, as you will need to reheat the room

Sure, but lots of people have some point of the year they want cooling.

Even during the heating season it's only worse if you're heating the living space with something _worse_ than what you're using to heat the hot water. If you have a heat pump for room heat then you're moving heat from outside, to in the house, to in the water heater.

If you're heating the room with electric then in the winter it's no different than using an electric water heater (100% efficient).

If I’m gone on a trip for 2 weeks my hot water bill is zero

You mention other advantages, but money isn't one. You're limited to 100% efficiency with tankless.

Although an idle hot water tank can waste ~70W (~1.7kWh) of power, this is way more than made up for by using a heat pump. Plus tankless strains the grid a lot more than any system with a buffer built in.

Why do you care what size it is though? It's only the capacity that matters. For example a tankless only has a few gallons inside, but that doesn't limit how long of a shower you can take.

Borrow? I want to buy a copy!

It is rather unfortunate. I haven't seen them mention moving manufacturing or their 'Arduino offices' (have you?), but even still I'd rather not support a country threatening to annex my homeland.

"Oh no: There's metal satellites falling from orbit! Also: wanna buy a metal coin, they were sent to the edge of space!". I find the juxtaposition more amusing then I probably should.

That's really more of a "Want to pay more than your fair share of taxes? Help them commit tax fraud".

Cutting Google out of the mix can be seen as a net positive for the community. The same can't really be said for taxes that go to your local services.

+11 and +4 seem check-digit-y

From the limited dataset it looks the last digit comes from:

last digit = (<sum of previous the digits> + 2) mod 7

If you can spare a USB port you can use one of their Nano keys that just stays plugged in.

Even if someone/malware was to steal my yubikey pin they'd still need to convince me to tap the thing over 1,000 times to steal all my passwords.

Seems a little sparse on details. If the radios are actually cellular it seems it would be trivial for an entity like the US government to at least determine what SIM (and even data) any of these modules was sending.

Rather than anything malicious I'm thinking it's probably just a common module made for signs that can be updated over-the-air, and that feature just isn't enabled in the US signs.

My suggestion: asking for sacrifices for non-commercial users is the wrong approach. You want users to ask their employers to get licenses and adding a bunch of limitations will just make them more likely to use/learn something else.

Not sure on the reputation, but I personally haven't had any issues emailing people using gmail or microsoft. They have a good DNS Diagnostics page that checks all your domains DKIM/SPF/DMARC settings.

I've been using identities created in the admin panel, but they do have subdomain addresses where everything to *@user.domain goes to user@domain, and you can configure a 'Catchall' address (and of course 'plus addresses'). I haven't used either though.

I use identities for this:

https://migadu.com/guides/identities/

I can send as the address, and emails arrive in my normal mailbox. I also use them for giving self-hosted services their own address/password to email me.

And unfortunately no more half price 8-hours a day either :(

I dunno. If just your employers site is down then you'll be expected to fix it, whereas if everyone is down there's less pressure.

<cough> SponsorBlock (https://sponsor.ajay.app/) <cough>

It works amazingly well provided a video's been out for at least a half hour or so. It also has the option to skip the "like and subscribe" parts too.

I also tried the https://dearrow.ajay.app/ extension to replace clickbait titles, but decided I'd rather know when a channel/video is too clickbait-y so I can block/unsubscribe.

I've done everything using old Particle Xenon boards (nrf52840 microcontroller) and didn't encounter anything 'user hostile'. Originally I had all the 'hub' stuff on one of the boards too, but the newer recommended way is to have the board be the 'radio' and to use a normal computer for the routing.

The matter network is just an IPv6 network, so I run coap server on my matter devices and then control them with command like 'coap-client -m post coap://[<ipv6 addr>]/open_button'.

to make a profit off of the information that is included in these works?

Isn't that what a lot of companies are doing, just through employees? I read a lot of books, and took a lot of courses, and now a company is profiting off that information.

has the "market" decided that the unlicensed business is superior?

I think recently we've decided it does? Look at Uber versus licensed taxis, Airbnb versus licensed and inspect B&Bs, and many more.

I get what you're saying though, and if there was the will for it then the unlicensed business would be fined such that it would pay more in fines than the cost of a license. It just seems to be going the opposite way.

Are you arguing against the automation here? Because if so it seems we could bring back a lot of employment by simply getting rid of machines, but would we really be better off? Is it better for humans to spend their short lives working as telephone operator, knowing it an entirely pointless job?

If you're not arguing against automation then I think we need to think about what happens when we expand your timeline a little. Are there really enough 'employment' jobs that can't be automated for billions of humans of different intelligence/physical abilities?

If you haven't, you may enjoy reading Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut. It explores some similar themes to the 'would humans be satisfied in a world where they have no economic role whatsoever' discussion.

I thought it was interesting to see Claude say 'It seems like we'd just be shuffling money in circles' as if that's not exactly what money is for, and 'If we're essentially having companies fund UBI through taxes, which then gets spent back at those same companies, it does seem circular. Why not just... give people the goods directly?', when the exact same could be said about labour (and it being an equally bad idea).

As to the wider discussion, it seemed to fall a bit too far in to the "won't somebody think of the economy" in places, and in to pretty easily solved issues like 'What if everyone wants a Ferrari?'.
