Opencode offers free models with 200/requests over 5 hours. That's why I use it. It is the only reason I care about.

What's the alternative there? Gemini used to have free tiers. Qwen used to. AMP used to. Ollama cloud used to. Codebuff used to... None of them have those programs anymore

The reason I use it is purely financial. I do not have an employer and I'm writing free software

Edit: pi.dev doesn't have free inference endpoints. That's the constraint.

he's answered this question a few times. It's basically "how was I supposed to have any idea what the implications were?" He said something like "16 bit, 32 bit, 48 bit addressing, it felt all equally improbable. Why would there ever be 65,000 computers on this network?"

No. It's quality control. This is a classic clickbait formula headline with 0 backing. I just typed "list 30 papers to get me started in machine learning" into an llm and got 27/30 of these...

This page is an LLM prompt response as a list of jpegs with a fake title. You can probably just add "and prepare it as a webpage with image previews for each" ...

I think we can do better than someone shitposting a sentence into openclaw and getting it to the frontpage.

People on here are actually building 100 billion dollar companies, publishing in prestigious journals, maintaining transcontinental infrastructures with global reach... let's hear from them instead of a mac mini going burr for 15 seconds.

This is what they want. When they say "small government" they mean "small autocratic ruling party". When they say "personal responsibility" they mean "societal harm burdened on the individual"

When they say "liberty" they mean liberty to oppress others ... I've heard this language my whole life. I know what these people stand for and I've seen it in practice. It's heinous and repulsive.

the biggest problem is most ai will be local by 2030. Every future device you buy will have AI compute on it somewhere, built in, like it has on-device floating point.

On top of this, people are constantly coming up with better ways of running models on less special hardware and "good enough" models are now existing for most tasks.

So where does that leave the frontier labs? Drug discovery? Maybe some hard math problems? I mean it's not that big actually...

We're in a brief window where this is profitable, like batch computing was in the 70s. However, once your own device can do it, you're going to start migrating.

The only consistent things I've heard is volume. You gotta effectively spam and some things stick.

It also has to be cognitively stupid to understand - the least amount of knowledge or suppositions required.

I've found myself on the front page maybe 5 times... Someone else posted my stuff.

I find the algo game to be morally repugnant so I don't play it. I just build things and hope they're useful to the right audiences
