Yes but I think it's generally how non-technical people use it

That’s even more interesting to me. It would be interesting to see data on that.

I think it was me guys I am [sorry](https://qht.co/item?id=47085483#47090853)

I have literally never thought about it like this, but I think you are right. In my mind mobile phones were always separate from other devices, kinda like consoles.

Right. Consoles shouldn't be doing it either, but here we are...

This is actually the main idea of Purism, company producing phones and computers: https://puri.sm/posts/foreshadowing-why-the-purism-logo-is-a...

Can confirm on Hetzner. I'm building a SaaS on it right now and had to request a VPS limit increase. I was so worried and carefully crafted my request message. I was bracing for a multi-day back-and-forth but they just... did it in like 10 minutes lol

> The pricing is almost absurdly good compared to AWS, and the performance is solid. If you've never spun up a Hetzner box, you're overpaying for cloud compute.

Yep!

My support experience with Hetzner has been first class, every single time. They're honest, responsive, proactive and helpful. My support experience with Digital Ocean has been abysmal, every single time. Our latest experience was a misconfigured or malfunctioning Valkey cluster, we provided a ton of supporting information, their tech team magically fixed it and closed the ticket, and their support people tried to blame us for it breaking. This is so standard with them that I posted in our Slack "emailed DO support asking for a technical breakdown of what happened, they'll reply in a week blaming us". It only took them a couple of days though.

3 days after I said that they are affordable they have increased the prices by 38%.

I wil never say anything nice about Hetzner ever again lol

> +1. I see all these posts about tokens, and I'm like "who's paying by the token?"

When you use the API

Yes. That is the question.

> China has a huge population that mostly speaks Mandarin.

It's about incentives. The Chinese had to come up with their own solutions because of their firewall.

Maybe it's time for a European firewall?

In China government threatens and stop people selling companies outside.

In Europe people who sell out are the members of government. Without a terrible revolution, Europe won't change course.

I find the premise that coding is one of the hardest problem for LLMs flawed. Isn't coding the easiest area for AI, with lots of data to train and easily verifiable?

Yes, it is very common to change your useragent for web scraping. Mainly because there are websites which will block you just based on that alone

I’m surprised TypeScript is controversial to some people. Having worked on a large vanilla JavaScript framework, the benefits were pretty clear.

Many of us don't encounter the sort of problems Typescript offers to solve. As most programming languages, most of the bugs I create when using JS is logic bugs, and those are solves by unit testing, not "more types". It was a long time ago I managed to push broken frontend code because of assuming the wrong types, so personally I don't find TS that valuable. But obviously others seem severely impacted by those types of issues, otherwise TS wouldn't be so popular in the first place. People be different :shrug:

Myself and this post are also pro-TypeScript!

> It also reduces your incentive to change, if “the internet is down” people will put down their device and do something else. Even if your web site is up they’ll assume it isn’t.

I agree. When people talk about the enshittification of the internet, Cloudflare plays a significant role.
