Memes I share with friends on Signal and verification codes from my bank with my life savings require very different levels of trust.

Why would I give any app permission to read my messages, no matter how secure it claims to be?

Top contestant in the Hutter Prize uses a neural network for compression. So fair to say, LLMs would perform pretty well compared to gzip.

Official Deepseek v4.1 Flash API costs are more than GPT 5.6 Luna. Deepseek v4 Pro performed worse than Luna, so I wonder if 4.1 Flash will justify the cost.

DuckDB is still OSS btw. It didn't go proprietary like Redis or ElasticSearch.

Hint: It's not 15%. And there are many reasons, such as not having to keep up-to-date billing details in 70 providers, and not wasting money because most providers want you to prepay a balance that gets stuck in there if you switch to another provider.

It also has way better uptime than the underlying platforms, even for proprietary models like Claude. When Claude APIs are having issues, OpenRouter Claude still keeps working because they can route to AWS Bedrock instead of Anthropic etc. This effect is even bigger with open-weight models because they typically have 5-10 providers.

It's such a bad idea to use a random website to generate passwords, surely this has to be bait.

> Strong passwords, generated only on this device. Nothing is sent or stored.

> Private by design

And the only way to verify this is to read and understand 288 KB of obfuscated Javascript code every time you launch this app.

This is more app instances than 99% of deployments. Most apps and websites run a single server.

Really glad open-source password managers are resisting the bullying and not implementing DRM.
