The major challenge is not keep it building and compatible. The major challenge is to keep up with security issues.

I wish op all the best, it's a tough journey

I'm teaching async calls in makearcade to my 10yo son, to bypass a platform bug. He said he doesn't get it. My answer was: Don't worry, adults don't get it either.

I don't know if they will never go public,but their business is clearly not profitable as it is today.

I'm a heavy user but the moment they stop subsidizing I will pick something else because I know how damn expensive it actually is (my usage is ~4k usd/month, but paying 200 in their max plan).

I guess lot of people will do the same.

Interesting how that whole conversation about "AGI tomorrow" completely disappeared and it's all about making money now.

I'm a fan of claude and I have been using their top tier plans because it's so damn cheap comparing to my real usage. They will have to stop subsidizing this at some point, and people (include me) will flee. What they are gonna do?

Interesting times we live in.

A historical reminder: the Nazis were highly effective at persecuting Jews in the Netherlands precisely because of the country's meticulous population registry.

You never know who will be in power tomorrow. The convenience of a centralized system today does not outweigh the catastrophic danger of that system in the wrong hands in the future. Specially nowadays.

Not everything runs on paid models. Claude and Codex are frontier models, but some people have much higher usage needs and finite budgets that force them to self-host. And if you're self-hosting, you're very likely running a Chinese model

I think there's more to it.

China will always benefit from a broader adoption of their models as hidden propaganda machines.

Eventually with several services relying in those tools, their answers will always be more friendly to China.

Interesting how op describes his own experience and then assume that every other company around the globe experience exactly the same.

He generalizes CEO's behavior but provides no evidence. Cool.

I can't find a 3090 for less than 2k CADs (or 1200 eur). Is this the average price in Germany? It's pretty cheap.

Can you talk more about it? So an issue during shutdown running from the external drive destroyed a partition of a internal drive?

I can see power issues corrupting the external drive (and I can live with that), but I'm wondering what went wrong in your case.

I'm not sure running the whole thing from a live-boot (which is kind of the point of the topic, different from a external installation which is what I use) would have prevented anything.
