Get a few GitHub Copilot accounts at 10 bucks each and use OpenAI models, they have very high usage limits I honestly struggle to even hit with one 10 dollar subscription.
I like upscaling and frame interpolation but as always, the TV does not have the hardware to do a good job. If you use neural network models, it works and looks a lot better without looking plastic-like.
Interesting. I knew another user who spoke similarly to you about the web (often exaggerating of the "wonders of the web" while WASM and similar technologies were the signaling of the "dark times"), are you an alt of rektide? It seems like they stopped posting just as your account was created, which leads me to believe so. Just a curious observation, as they too were on threads related to the web.
Some people are using it for serverside, ie the dartfrog library. It's a decent enough Algol language for backend, better than Go I'd say due to having ADTs and exhaustiveness matching.
I'm honestly at a loss for what you want from this conversation. What "nonsense" are you even talking about? You said you don't see the quote written there (I presume on the website) so I told you to scroll down and you'll see the quote. That's all I was saying, but now you're asking what the point of the quote was, like, how should I know? Ask the parent.
Scroll down on the post, not the comments, and you'll see where the parent pulled their quote from, which you said you "don't see any of that written there," well, it's written there.
Flagged because it was an unsubstantive comment as dang mentioned and also that it's increasingly a flame bait topic on HN, same as with Copilot and licensing.
The full story for those curious, from Plato's dialogue Phaedrus 14, 274c-275b:
Socrates: I heard, then, that at Naucratis, in Egypt, was one of the ancient gods of that country, the one whose sacred bird is called the ibis, and the name of the god himself was Theuth. He it was who invented numbers and arithmetic and geometry and astronomy, also draughts and dice, and, most important of all, letters.
Now the king of all Egypt at that time was the god Thamus, who lived in the great city of the upper region, which the Greeks call the Egyptian Thebes, and they call the god himself Ammon. To him came Theuth to show his inventions, saying that they ought to be imparted to the other Egyptians. But Thamus asked what use there was in each, and as Theuth enumerated their uses, expressed praise or blame, according as he approved or disapproved.
"The story goes that Thamus said many things to Theuth in praise or blame of the various arts, which it would take too long to repeat; but when they came to the letters, "This invention, O king," said Theuth, "will make the Egyptians wiser and will improve their memories; for it is an elixir of memory and wisdom that I have discovered." But Thamus replied, "Most ingenious Theuth, one man has the ability to beget arts, but the ability to judge of their usefulness or harmfulness to their users belongs to another; and now you, who are the father of letters, have been led by your affection to ascribe to them a power the opposite of that which they really possess.
"For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise."
The number of users kept via the API is not as high as people might think, so I would actually agree that if that's the case, then Musk correctly shut off the API for people who weren't bringing in more benefits than the costs they were incurring.
