Partylines existed in the UK during the 90s and 00s. They were a way for you to find out where the freeparty scene was happening. You would call up a number with a answerphone message and it would change as the night got later getting you closer and close to where the party actually was.

I had many a fond night, calling up waiting for the message to change.

Isn't the issue tho, that google launched at i dunno a 1bn market cap and grew as the internet grew.

what you're buying into here is a company that is already large on the idea of growth over the next 10 years.

Modern IPO's just reek of investors cashing out

The reason I will never use AWS again was all related to billing and budget caps. We had a small kubernetes cluster that failed to remove all of itself on a shutdown, it hung around like a ghost consuming resources for 3 months and nothing could see or find it, but we got billed!

Was a 6 month nightmare proving we did nothing wrong.

This sounds like a GDPR issue no? Couldn't they be taken to the EU!

isn't this also the threat to frontier AI houses? As in they want you to expend tokens in their ecosystem, but the optimization at 100x is their profit?

Does anyone else feel each model is like watching your kids grow up. They we're bubbly and fun and weird, you needed to tell them to sit down and be quiet.

Now if you tell them too much they go mute or stop telling you important information. Oh intelligence!

I think we're also ignoring a potential innovative move in how models work.

If someone could splinter or fragment the models into more specific tasks i.e "spellchecker AI" and get these working as well as Sonnet 4.6-4.8 on those tasks on a personal laptop. You then question the $100 a month fee.

Bear in mind these laptops are likely to be $5000 or so because of the memory, HDD and M7 chip they likely need.

It feels to me like the beginning of the inflection point but software updates not hardware updates will be the accelerant.

It feels like a dedicated orchestration/planning agent needs to be much clearer on costs now as part of the tast plan. Multiple models used at different stages depending on the task.

openrouter works perfectly well for me called by cloudflare workers. open router also has superior cascading and waterfalling if models are offline. Not sure they have that working from V1.

I love everything about openrouter. So kinda a fan boy.

this claude code leak is such a fuck up...

The fact that now every agent designer knows what was already built is a huge shot of steroids to their codebase!

I used this with Claude to cross compare against my current project and it found 11 pretty significant improvements. Very awesome set of prompts for the ai to then work on.

Wow I just spotted that the new price does NOT include the 96w power adapter! That's a new cheeky cost at £79 over in the UK.

I really hate how they price things and hide their profit in sneaky ways now.

That was one of the most helpful walkthroughs i've read. Thanks for explaining so well with all of the steps.

I wasn't a coder but with AI I am actually writing code. The more i familiarise myself with everything the easier it becomes to learn. I find AI fascinating. By making it so simple and clear it helps when i think what i need to feed it.

Why wont they actually allow users to control their own algorithms? Why can't we switch off "thirst" or "cat videos"?

I don't social media much but to not be on it, is FOMO for your social life. Someone out there needs to open up the algo to your own CHOSEN bias' not the ones they know get clicks.

I hate the whole damn thing!
