I just want Tidal and Spotify to give me the option to fully opt-out of AI generated music. I don't want it mixed in with my music. If others want it great, but I want the option to not engage with the content.

This is precisely what I want from my browser, let me pay directly for a critical piece of software, and remove myself from the Surveillance Economy, without having to settle for some second class product.

Brave has been, in my opinion, the best browser for a long time, and I am happy to be able to pay for a product that I use without worrying that its going to need to sell its soul to continue to provide support

Wheat is absolutely grown on the same place they grow beans. The field directly across from my house did that last year. I don't survey all the farms in my area, but It does seem like there is much less wheat this year on fields where I know it was grown in previous seasons.

The second one is Sonnet 4.6 not 4.5. If you change it to 4.5 Gemma 4 actually beats 4.5

The Gemma models are at this point. A 31B model that can fit on a consumer card is as good as Sonnet 4.5. I haven't put it through as much on the coding front or tool calling as I have the Claude or GPT models, but for text processing it is on par with the frontier models.

Just wait until you find out the benefits of taking them away from kids altogether! Phones are a mental health hazard for children, there is no benefit for them having a phone. The only downside is they feel left out when their friends only want to sit around and scroll TikTok, and can't manage to have any in person interactions without their face in a screen.

None of my children have phones, and when they do get one, it will be when they are driving and will be a dumb phone for sending text messages and making calls.

I really wish Graphite had just gone down the path of better Git hosting and reviewing, instead of trying to charge me $40 a month for an AI reviewer. It would be nice to have a real first class alternative to Github

D1 is fine when it fits the use case, but most of the time I just want Postgres that I will use for absolutely everything. It has happened often enough that I have tried to make systems work with other storage systems, and eventually just give up and revert to Postgres. Every time I just start with Postgres I don't have issues until it turns out my laziness has caused a performance problem, and those I can fix.

Astro on Cloudflare workers has been my goto stack for multiple years now. I am very happy with it, and hope this makes the integration stronger.

Now we just need Cloudflare to buy one of the DBaaS companies so they have a solid relational offering.

No, my wife and I discussed putting them into traditional school as they got older, but now that they are older, they have all strongly requested to remain in their homeschool co-op. I think the biggest reason is they have a good group of friends that they connect with, and have been their class mates for multiple years. So there is a strong desire to continue in the program with people they know.

My kids are part of a co-op where they meet once a week and in this co-op they share some elements of their curriculum with everyone else, they spend one day going over the weeks assignments along with 8-10 classmates, and then during the week they are at home doing their work. As they have aged their school work now has a lot of collaborative elements, so my oldest is actually meeting with kids from his co-op almost daily to go over group projects and assignments.

Additionally they have a lot of extra curricular activities they participate in ( sports, music, church youth group), that also gives them a lot of socialization time with others.
