GTA VI will be released before an LLM will be able to do that

Things can go wrong, but really, its been a lot and we're normalizing that to an unhealthy degree...

I wonder if it was down that much, if users would get credits the way we pay when we use the services - its kind of ridiculous for a critical service to be down that much and all we do is "ah okay, its just github". Like, as if that was normal to be down that much...

I would totally accept that as "okay" - but then, we pay for that service usage based, and it doesn't go both ways: its down, its down, nobody credits us for the hours it was down. Instead we are waiting, and looking at a status page, hoping it will resolve.

I am wondering if it would be a lot more stable if users would be credited every time it was down on a "usage basis"...

for me its unbearably slow - especially with deepseek v4 pro. Is that just myself? I literally signed up and canceled again, because for one prompt I needed around 5 minutes to get 600 tokens back (via ollama launch claude --mode ...)

yes, we do, e.g. flixbus. and some others I think. Haven't been traveling for a while by bus around Austria. Apples/Oranges probably, but I do know vienna<->bratislava has like 3-4 different companies operating the same route with similar busses at similar times with different prices.

And talking about apples/oranges, let me add apples/bananas: Vienna to Budapest by train cost a lot when booking via öbb. And not a lot when booking via Regiojet.

The problem is the offers are all scattered around imho.

Like courses on udemy. Most people buy a ton of courses probably for the feeling of having bought a course. Which translates apparently to already halfway there becoming that expert the courses promises you to become. Or they build a catalog and sell the account (on udemy).

same here.

It's actually relaxing to just drive around with different cars into the sunset, turn the radio on and occasionally overrun some pedestrians.

I knew I can't be the only one finding it relaxing, yet the anxiety before starting the game if I can play it or not because of yet another update is really a downturn.

actually the closet isn't fancy, its just the content.

Like HN, I don't visit the site for the great design, I come for the golden content.

...

Sry, I had to...

That is AWESOME! I am wondering, are you creating all the content yourself?

I am doing plenty of courses across different platforms, from udemy to teachable selfhosting etc. They all lack the interactivity. I am currently hosting the code samples myself and basically redirect students there, where they can interact.

But scrimba is another league!

If you open this up similar to how udemy just hosts videos and does revenue share, count me in. With the webcontainers, the sky is the limit and beyond.

If I imagine I run into a factory full of "thinking" (current LLM level top of line benchmark) humanoid looking robots who are collaborating on tasks dynamically as needed in the dark (because they don't need light, ... or oxygen ... or basically anything but electricity)...

In my book that is as dystopian as it gets and has nothing to do with the current level of automation with robots that's happening, that's a whole new level. Production efficiency is one thing, but not far and the DOD or someone else on the other end of the world has some creative ideas how to use that to "make the world great again"...

yes, they do, that is true, however that's with [some]-axis stationary robots. Not humanoid robots literally running around. The best we can do right now afaik is that robot-dog-like thing which can overcome obstacles and be equipped with sensors. Nothing human like.
