i was for a while too. but the shift back to aluminum does not bode well for caseless.

deep scratches are trivial and drops will immediately lead to heavy dents. that being said the screen itself is incredibly tough so it will be usable.

before (stainless / titanium) you could go caseless without concern. the most i ever had happen was a little crack on the back

can't the compiler process it in reverse?

maybe. the allegations against perplexity are being challenged and i haven't seen any research on google agent. CF can demonstrate nonpartisanship, and gain credence for their claims against perplexity, by being transparent about other players in the space.

(as an aside, not to shift the goalpost to the elephant in the room, but i didn't see any blog posts on the shameless consumption of every single thing on the internet by OAI, google and anthropic. talk about misuse..)

fair point.

where's the front page CF callout for google search agent? they wouldn't dare. i don't remember the shaming for ad and newsletter pop up blockers.

that being said, agree with you that sites are not being used the way they were intended. i think this is part of the evolution of the web. it all began with no monetization, then swung far too much into it to the point of abuse. and now legitimate content creators are stuck in the middle.

what i disagree on is that CF has the right to, again allegedly, shame perplexity on false information. especially when OAI is solving captchas and google is also "misusing" websites.

i wish i had an answer to how we can evolve the web sustainably. my main gripe is the shaming and virtue signaling.

i agree. i think the point i agree with perplexity on is that CF is a central authority that is claiming to be the gatekeeper while (allegedly) being disingenuous and incapable.

i also tend to agree with the concept that scraping != consuming on behalf of a user. they explicitly point out that they do not store the data for training, which would fall under scraping by proxy.

if what they're saying is true then this was a huge fuckup on CFs part. i was already a bit suspicious when they started gloating about OAI agent since it's been shown to literally state that it's solving a captcha to complete the task.

i guess it will come down to browserbase corroborating the claims.

see, literally, reddit requiring teenagers to open their mouth and roll their heads around to enter.

user agent = which bullshit css hacks and js polyfills will be needed

why don't they just set those as options

{ throwNotOk, parseJson }

they know that's 99% of fetch calls, i do t see why it can't be baked in.

pardon the ignorance but it's the first time I've heard of bfloat16.

i asked chat for an explanation and it said bfloat has a higher range (like fp32) but less precision.

what does that mean for image generation and why was bfloat chosen over fp?

you are arguably the most educated expert on the subject available on HN. any chance you will share your thoughts on here, your blog or mastodon?

something tells me the viberanks was vibecoded. the numbers clearly don't make sense, nor are they consistent. top guy is 13B and 3rd place is 93B? those token counts are preposterous but also don't equate at all in dollar cost.

who knows, just something i came across when trying to find the twitter thread.

i get it, fuck the "man" and so forth.

I’m not suggesting you be sympathetic to anthropic. I’m suggesting sympathy for people who were using it legitimately, such as myself and others in areas where $200/mo is an extraordinary commitment, and we're not blind but appreciative to their subsidizing the cost.

the core of my position is, was it necessary for people to use it wastefully because they could? what was gained from that activity? sticking it to that greedy corporation? did it outweigh what was lost to the other 95%+ of users?

i don't think we're debating from compatible viewpoints. i maintain it's not wrong, just abusive. you maintain it's not wrong, it is [was] allowed. so be it.

the party's over anyways. the result is an acceleration on the path of normalizing the true cost of usage and it's clear that will unfortunately, or maybe justifiably in your eyes, exclude a lot of people who can't afford it. cheers man.

of course not. the buffet said all you can eat, didn't it? i don't expect you to do anything less but engorge your body to the point of hospitalization while 95% of the remaining customers look in horror.
