As already somewhere else mentioned, even a 200,-/month paying user means loss for chatgpt. So theur business is not a little bit non-sustainable.
How will this play out? Bevause if that's true, they could never ask the price it needs and still have users.
Anthropic will be profitable by end of 2028, but that's not weird if I see so many people saying the have cloud max. But still, it has a way to go.9 -
OK, so Chatgpt is ditching the EM dashes. Sad, because that's how we easily could recognize the idiots. Also it's not new at all to let Chatgpt drop the EM dashes as been stated in article. I have a very detailed analysis about my writing and it copies it perfectly. So, they're selling us a placebo. Idiots. Also, for high quality information they relied on 1900's books? All the shit that came after that is a bullshit indeed. Not surprised...

Everything goes behind payment walls regarding AI. Claude pro sucks, codex got limits, perplexity limited file uploads, I can hit daily limits with gemini that I didn't have before.. It started already with the limited deep search everywhere. The problem is, I'm still paying the same but got less. Wtf.11

The rust linux tools for Ubuntu are such a damn failure. They even have different output or do not even cover the full functionality of the real gnu tools. The project is already bonkers, but a bad execution.. At least do that right.14

I wanted to show of my perfect based AI auto build tool but sadly, only very good computers can see it or phones. This image crashed my pc: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/preview....
Fun fact, I told my AI tool to investigate the upload mechanism of devrant.molo and upload it. He did it at once. How sick is that.
The whole tool is native python, no dependencies.8 -
You can follow devrant mentions with rss on https://static.molodetz.nl/dr.menti.... On my phone it looks like this and can even enable notification: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/preview...
It updates every 5 minutes.15 -
I want to setup a cloud storage provider. I need a backend. At this very moment, hetzner seems most cheap.. But I think it should be possible even cheaper. Anyone an idea how to? I want to offer TB's since my first customer already has that. I already kind of sold it with the hetzner pricing in mind. My application will provide Dropbox like functionality on top of the storage backend like sharing and stuff, online file browsing, a nice PWA. Target audience is families with video's and small businesses. There's room for another European provider I guess.4

I found out that my favorite library is way outdated, like a whole version of its biggest dependency. Upgrading breaks everything. I never noticed until I got working with something else that needs the newest dependency. But good news, thus guy has full test coverage. My own vibe cli tool is thundering trough it. Hundreds of updates within minutes. I expect that the original owner just gave up after 20 things. So good about AI, it just doesn't get tired. I did these few ai queries in a few days: https://static.molodetz.nl/rp.cgi/.... I appearantly uploared 400+ mb to AI trough my cgi gateway. Iirc python wants to delete cgi from its library. I don't care, I made my own cgi server (setting env vars) and client (reading env vars) and stdin if it's a post. It's an aiohttp server executing an async subprocess. The dashboard is quite nice huh? Want some more stats but I have different priorities. I am trying to make the best autonomous build tool ever made. It's already better at building than gemini. Gemini is a fine coding LLM but it just can't beat my software so far. This is an old version but here it just built a reddis mvp, working, with tests. https://elon.app.molodetz.nl/termin...
I'm future I'll make it controllable online, so people can vibe then selves. It'll be a platform that will deploy your vibed code on a https molodetz supdomain and it will offer vscode development environment for your project: https://thomas.app.molodetz.nl. It costs literally a second to configure and five seconds waiting to deploy a while vscode instance. Now I only have to build a service where a zit can be uploaded and it'll auto deployed with some quota. I'll support Rust, python, php, c, c++, Java. Rust is sadly not so good for the vibing tho and requires much resources in storage. Every container is a new Rust install. I think it's more than Java. Soon we can do the language wars again. With isspam was leuk.7 -
So, I'm tired of Sid. For a while. So, a while back, I decided kick him in the balls. So, I took an airplane to India. It was easy to find his house, his stupid elephant that he uses for doing groceries was parked outside. I stormed in his house and there he was, sleeping on the couch. The situation was perfect. I kicked as hard as I could but damn, it was like kicking a pussy. That was weird. So I went investigating it. No balls, not at all. Good, at least it won't reproduce. With a smile, I walked of his house and stole his mediocre elephant which I later gave away to an Indian on the airport that did had an elephant yet. The elephant kinda sucked, but you should not watched a free elephant in the mouth. Speaking about mouth, stop eating in your streams Sid. Sorry, got distracted. After giving away the overrated elephant I took the airplane home satisfied.
I swear on his mother that this all really happened.
Also, i left a burger under his pillow.9 -
Paying for youtube premium and then almost every author these days has his own freaking ads in their videos. What the fuck is this for shit. Fuck off. Greedy fuckers. Degenerates.
It's also always for products that they don't use for sure while many times claiming they do. Talking about sophisticated shit and then "Here's incogni". Wraaaahh. You know it won't help fucker. You know it you know it you know it.16 -
My hoster doesn't accept my passport for expiry date. Who do they think they are? The freaking government? All data matches with what they have in their system so give me the access that is declined because YOU changed authentication requirements.
Do I have to get myself a new passport to get my server up and running again fuckers? You really want to have my server down paid for, for weeks, because something YOU did?3 -
I know there are some fans here from Joshua Fluke. We in the Netherlands have some word for such amazing person but don't know how to translate. It's "neukfout".12

My chromecast these days works over the internet regarding controlling it through the phone. Before, only wifi was possible and it disappointed me a lot of times. Now, it works flawless making the product perfect. Major unexpected upgrade.

In Android it seems impossible to paste something behind your text often. It grinds my gears. * heavy breathing *4

I watched more than a hour over this bug: update-message-text instead of update_message_text. It's the name of an event. The listener wouldn't trigger. I chose the backend using python casing for stuff. I have an rpc that automatically converts getMessages to get_messages using the proxy object to make the source look nice and consistent. But event names are an exception.2

I watched a YouTuber that had thousand hours of experience I'm vibing and was like, wow, he sucks. My way is like hundred times more effective. How he works would result in many hours for sure.
Do you guys have vibe coding tips/tricks you swear by to get good results?3 -
devrant is so slow, it ain't fun anymore. Where is the community emo when you need him. He always knows how to contact dfox with effect. Don't see him much lately. Buba dreaming I guess.10

Stolen:
Me - "What are you doing?"
Microsoft - "Leaving you alone?"
Me - "Then why are you here?"
Microsoft - "We have to watch you to know how to leave you alone."
Me - "Who is we?"
Microsoft - "Microsoft and our affiliates."
Me - "Who are your affiliates?"
Microsoft - "We can't tell you that."
Me - "Why?"
Microsoft - "They asked to be left alone."5 -
Reddit stupid robots. The less unique you are, the more upvotes you het. Confirmation bias stuff. Unique view on things is not appreciated at all. I feel more rated on my behavior than anything else. Walk the line or something. The up / downvote culture from dR is so much better / social.
I could generate reddit with a LLM.
But also, the usernames, most of them are not something fun and creative but just pure shit. You should not be allowed on the internet if you can't imagine a fun username.
Maybe a lot is just whimsical stuff.24 -
I just received an automated phone call from upwork if I was interested to a job opertunity. Fuckers.
Next time I'll respond to that call to shout at the low effort recruiter.
Maybe it's a type of recruiting, only very desperate people will react to this and will work for their prices. No, we can't survive on that here.6 -
I have now 15 versions of my not working voice navigated browser. Now waiting until I can do Claude again (rate limited). What did I become.
Idea of my project is exactly as browsing the news using grok / gpt 5 in voice mode. You can discuss and zoom into stuff by voice. Is super comfortable. I sit just OK my big chair with headphones on, smoking a cigarette and looking around. For search I'll implement other service I have subscription on. Forgot the name.51 -
https://perplexity.ai/page/... love these articles. Those researchers have too much money to spend anyway. About AI companions, could be very well be true. They're not good enough yet, but I could prefer it as well. They destroyed everything with identity politics and anti human mindset. Not fault of AI. I already prefer internet relationships above real life ones. I had such a busy social life before, it was actually terrible thinking back obout it. I really started to hate society since covid and love my detached life. Some times my parents come over and make me realize that world exist snapping out my peaceful quiet, happy and stable life. Go away with your dystopia. "We are rebuilding the fire place in our house, not the way we want, but in a way the insurance company want so it's practically impossible to get a fire, and then we insure it.". Wraaaaahhhhh. That kinda fucked up logic. I can't stand it. "That's just how it works.". Waaaaaah. Society in a nutshell.
This perplexity news site is a good way to stay up-to-date tho, can read it for hours.11
