Very "why would anyone use Dropbox when I can setup a SFTP server" vibes.

Or even “why would I pay for a flight when I can simply walk across the country”

It’s all about the convenience, minimising the time and effort from “looks interesting” to “running the model”.

Nvidia don’t care if you do it on their cloud, someone else’s cloud, or on your own machine - they win either way, as it further propagates the technology on which they are building their future.

Torrents aren't that scary. If you have the patience for local AI you can figure out qBitTorrent in less than an hour.

Torrents are trivial. Each individual bit is trivial. But being able to click a button that says “run model” is even more trivial.

I've coerced Codex and Claude to build Cloudflare-but-shit because I wanted to have healthcheck-based DNS records (A, CNAME) so I can host stuff on 100 RPis in 100 different places with any type of connection (public IP or behind a CGNAT).

It has DDNS, Tunnels, very-flexible-record definition and Anubis will be implemented soon or you can bring your own.

Powered by PowerDNS and Rails, and if I get some free time I'd like to just have this as an actual offering since I always fear Cloudflare putting more and more things behind a paywall.

Shockingly, it works, obviously the DNS I'm doing now isn't RFC compliant, but this already scratches my itch.

It's really hard to not become a euroskeptic, despite being involved with so many EU related things from my youth to now in which I believed wholeheartedly, but this is just... I know - they just need to win once, we need to win every time.

Tuned my guitar and donated 5$!

The author equates "you need a permit, which you obtain by making proof you follow the law and best practices re: handling dangerous substances" with "BANNED!!!!!!".

I dislike how misleading and emotionally targeted this is and I understand the hate we get as tech people if this is the best we can do.

I need to hoard some microwaves.

I've got the keys to a Ditch Witch somewhere. Gotta clean up the pretty colored glass running under the roads leading away from the big white monolith buildings.

An HT275 driving around near us-east-1 would be... amusing.

Not long before owning that will land you on some list, but nevertheless I laughed a bit thinking of it.

Dig safe ;)

Didn't get it. For 2.4GHz jamming?

As someone that migrated off of Heroku back in 2023 for a monitoring start-up - why were you still on Heroku?!

For us, the reason is we're primarily a Salesforce company and rely on the Heroku Connect product to facilitate bidirectional syncing between Salesforce and PostgreSQL (which also requires Heroku PG).

One of the biggest benefits to this product -- aside from the syncing mechanism -- is a bypass of Salesforce's extremely limiting (and expensive) API limits.

A lot of things because LLMs enable my potential ADHD and no-filter-brain. A thing that controls a small FPV drone from the PC with vision input. Cloudflare but in Europe! An open source synth out of a Pi Pico! A reservations engine for local market. A small orchestrator for when Swarm is annoying but K3S is just too much!
