What's the monetization pathway here? No private repositories (because everything is on ATProto) so near zero commercial use potential - CI is free, everything is free, no pricing page... Am I the product if I use this service?

Out of curiosity, what exactly is a "fully mechanical scissor switch"? And is this the first such switch on the market? If I search for other such products I can only find "metal scissor switch over rubber dome" style.

"Visual graph editor for AI workflows" seems like an extremely saturated market (Langflow, n8n). Consolidation seems natural as the agent engineering industry matures.

Multiple levels of disappointment here. This is about Hilbert curves, not physical lawn mowing. The participant interviews provide self-reported strategy, but the phrasing "why some people..." implied that there would be some disc

I feel this way about gpt-5-nano (EOL December 2026). It seems like the open weight models have progressed a long way since these old models were released though. Deepseek V4 Flash is even cheaper than gpt-5-nano. I'm still going to pa

Denver has this... nominally. 3 machines (2 in circulation, one is a "Display"). 4 week checkout period. 103 current holds. 103*4/2/12 ≈ 17 year wait time.

Oh, didn't read that part of the news. That's great. Ability to run x64 docker images seminatively was one of the big reasons I jumped to the M1 platform when it came out and I was baffled that they would remove it.

Plaid wants you to enter your bank username-password into their form. If it was just routing+account it would be truly no different than other bank connection methods.

After reading this and remembering an old hobby project, I decided to switch the deploy from a systemd service to PM2, which apparently has rolling deployments without needing Docker engine (for those of us minmaxing instance RAM).

Porque no los dos. Force a platform. Deploy non containerized. Build a dockerized version of the forced platform for cross-platform local dev.

For real work I'm already on Opus full time (plan+execute). I think there's a different space for cheap-but-good-enough options for small-to-med repo hobby projects. (Not enough usage to warrant a plan.) And Opus is only ~30 tok&#

If it's between a human or an AI copywriting SEO slop, I'm happy to see an AI take that job. SEO content marketing is so painful to read once you realize you're reading it, and I have to imagine it's as painful to write
