Though relatively old in the AI world (2023), it's still quite interesting.

In case you can't access the article, the prompt used is:

> 35mm, 1990s action film still, close-up of a bearded man browsing for bottles inside a liquor store. WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU!!! (background action occurs)…a white benz truck crashes through a store window, exploding into the background…broken glass flies everywhere, flaming debris sparkles light the neon night, 90s CGI, gritty realism

3rd party reddit clients used the official api. They changed it from free to paid.

This is true, Twitter and Reddit clients were using official APIs that got their price increased. The point still stands though, don't build a service dependent on another service and especially if you're using an unofficial API. It works if you're under the radar but Opencode is not anymore.

Honestly, it seems like this played out in Opencode's favor. They are getting press for this and people who are used to Opencode now and can't use their Claude plan might use GLM 4.7 or Minimax M2, models they offer for free.

The Reddit API price was completely bonkers, a power-user would have had to pay tens of dollars a month for it.

Would you be willing to give the name of the account?

URLCheck flags that host as adware/malware for some reason. Anyway, I assume you mean 5 percentage points? 5% increase probably wouldn't keep pace with desktop users growth.

A known problem?

Those are both AOSP-based.

I suppose it depends on what the mean listening time is. I suspect the kind of person who comments on a discussion about music would listen more.

Anna's archive mirrors z-lib and libgen, so those are the main alternatives. But it's unlikely anna's archive would go down so easily, they take a lot of precautions.

Oh, I was somehow under impression that libgen is no more. Glad to see it's not. I guess it was just a different domain.

Aren't proxies good enough for that purpose?

The user experience differs for proxies.

System wide proxy configuration doesn’t actually always work system wide.

A VPN tends to have more success in encapsulating all application traffic (or all desired application traffic, if you’re so inclined to configure your system)
