> DeepSeek does not "do for $6M what cost US AI companies billions". I can only speak for Anthropic, but Claude 3.5 Sonnet is a mid-sized model that cost a few $10M's to train (I won't give an exact number). Also, 3.5 Sonnet was not trained in any way that involved a larger or more expensive model (contrary to some rumors).
I use Anytype and like it. I do hope they’ll invest more time into the editing experience — there are a few sharp edges that will probably alienate people coming from more mainstream tools like Google Docs and Notion:
- Typography is a bit weird, especially with headings; there is very little line height on headings, leading to cramped documents.
- Bullet points look weird when you look closely at them. (On Mac, they’re not perfectly circular; perhaps an aliasing issue.)
- Can only use cmd+b and cmd+i for bold and italic when selecting text; can't use them to switch on/off boldness on the cursor.
- Can't specify type when creating a new object with the @ symbol inline (Capacities, a related tool, does).
- Bullet points flicker when you first create them.
- Linking inserts a space even when you don't want it, as does formatting using markdown characters (e.g., providing the closing ** in italics.)
- Relatedly: Entering closing markdown characters (e.g., the second **) does not end the formatting effect (the cursor should not have the formatting applied after they're entered, but it does).
Anytype is overall a fairly polished app. I hope they’ll iron out these editing issues — when they do, it’ll really be exceptional.
Author here. I agree. I designed a17t awhile ago (I think nearly four years ago now?) and it’s due for a refresh. I think it has the potential to be excellent but it’s not there yet.
Yes, threatening to report is what was really happening here. But in their effort to scare us, they elided much of that process. From our perspective it was "watch out, you might face felony charges if you don't agree to silence".
Interesting — what kind of advantages would your hosting service provide over, say, packaging the Pynecone app into a Docker container and then deploying to Fly.io/Render/GCP/Azure/etc?
Wow!
