Another reason that push to kill subscription is that many users just want software that actually works forever—no subscriptions, no ads. That’s why so many of us prefer one-time purchases. I’m definitely in that camp. I stick to local-first apps because I know they won't get worse over time.

I agree that software without a service model faces a tough market. Sometimes, users just want software that works indefinitely on their phones without subscriptions or ads. That’s why many people are big fans of one-time purchase apps. I’m one of them; I prefer local apps because I know the software won't deteriorate over time.

I think it depends on what percentage of apps need a website. Most users use apps on their devices, for me, I don't want to open another website when I need an App if it's avoidable.

Thats interesting. For me, I don't want an app if a website is available.


Smart idea! Thanks for sharing.

If we move the detection and modification process from paste to copy operation, that will reduce in-use latency


That's a great idea. My original excuse to not do that was because I copy so many things but, duh, I could just key the sanitizing copy to `hyperkey + c`.


I don't think model code is a big deal compared to the idea. If public can recognize the value of idea 11 months ago, they could implement the code quickly because there are so much smart engineers in AI field.


If that is true, does it follow this idea does not actually have a lot of value?


Student: Look, there’s hundred dollar bill on the ground! Economist: No there isn’t. If there were, someone would have picked it up already.

To wit, it's dangerous to assume the value of this idea based on the lack of public implementations.


If the hundred dollar bill was in an accessible place and the fact of its existence had been transmitted to interested parties worldwide, then yeah, the economist would probably be right.


That day the student was the 100th person to pick it up, realize it's fake, and drop it


In my opinion, a refined analogy would be:

Student: Look, a well known financial expert placed what could potentially be a hundred dollar bill on the ground, other well-known financial experts just leave it there!


Well we have the idea and the next best thing to official code, but if this was a big revelation where are all of the Titan models? If this were public, I think we'd have a few attempts at variants (all of the Mamba SSMs, etc.) and get a better sense if this is valuable or not.


Cannot image how often this will happen after we are buried under fake contents from AI.


Just realize that people and institutions are adaptable and their processes are not set in stone. We'll find a way through even if you or I can't imagine exactly how right now.


A lot of institutions, even crucial ones that we all depend on to manage important aspects of society, have barely started adapting to this newfangled fad called the internet. Maybe they’ll figure out what to do about generative AI somewhere around 2060.


This is the fast way they can try, but it shouldn't be the most trustworthy way and shouldn't be in report.


Maybe they want to catch up the steps of Antigravity.

Running code is absolutely going to happen for coding assistant.


Does I expose my latitude and longitude after visiting a url?


No, visiting a URL does not automatically expose your exact latitude and longitude.

I just get approximate location from your public IP address via an external IP geolocation API (ipapi.co), which usually gives city-level accuracy.
