While I understand where you're coming from and that this thinking is probably (and somewhat understandably) why there are no water filling stations, I find this incredibly nasty. I don't want to fill my water bottle in a public restroom riddled with bacteria.

And yes, I'm fully aware that a water filling station will probably be just as nasty, but it's the thought that bugs me.

Not sure which exact model you're talking about, but I've run the 30B and the 3.5 32B models and both can get some things done and can waste tons of time getting some things completely wrong.

They're fun to mess around with to figure out what they can and can't do, but they're certainly not not tools in the way I can count on Codex.

Where/how do you host your family apps to have them conveniently available to your household? This is the thing I'm struggling with most.

I have a Synology NAS I can push docker images to. The key is to set up the docker image so it does a git pull on start, that way I just push to Github and restart it.

This was _incredibly_ hard to set up, in a way I did not expect, even with frontier models. It took me 3-4 evenings.

If someone can solve "Heroku for home server" it would open up a world of what HackerNews calls "home cooked" software.

I have a Mac mini and I put every device that needs access on Tailscale

> Who is served by persisting these sessions? I would suspect that there is little reason why future engineers, or future LLMs, would need access to them

I disagree. When working on legacy code, one of my biggest issues is usually the question 'why is this the way it is?' Devs hate documentation, Jira often isn't updated with decisions made during programming, so sometimes you just have to guess why 'wait(500)' or 'n = n - 1' are there.

If it was written with AI and the conversation history is available, I can ask my AI: 'why is this code here?', which would often save me a ton of time and headache when touching that code in the future.

> have lost quite a bit of reputation

in the tech world, maybe. All my 'normie' friends are using ChatGPT though and have no concept of their reputation, nor intention of switching. Most people I know are hardly even aware of alternatives, even of Gemini, though everyone has a Google account.

I personally also use ChatGPT and have zero reason not to, currently. I might switch if they royally mess up, but everything they've messed up has been fixed within a day.

But would they pay for it? That's the difference.

More people pay for ChatGPT than any other Consumer AI service by far, and when ads rollout, it won't matter that much.

“consumer” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, I’d be curious to know how it compares to overall AI usage (ie including professionals using it).

It's not. By consumer, I simply mean the respective apps, not API Usage. I'm not excluding "professionals" lol.

My normie friends aren’t paying several hundred of $ a month on their services, though.

> Do you think 30% of your friends or family members can't answer this question? If not, do you think your friends or family are all better than the general population?

That actually would be quite feasible. Intelligence seems to be heritable and people will usually find friends that communicate on their level. So it wouldn't be odd for someone who is smarter than the general population to have friends and family who are too.

You could just, you know, Google the list.

and then the first thing you see will be at least one of ITS AI responses, whether you liked it or not

> It's about making people feel safe.

My guess it's more about being able to say: 'We did everything we could.' If someone does end up getting a bomb on board. If they didn't do this, everyone would be angry and headlines would be asking: 'Why was nothing put in place to prevent this?'

> How confident is the OP that every single one of these 60 calculators work all the time, with all edge cases?

The compound interest calculator, which is their 'favorite page', already shows an incorrect value in the graph. So my faith in the other calculators isn't great. I also kinda doubt OP's story of them using that page all the time, since it took me about 20 seconds to find this issue.

Can you provide details on the bug?

I can easily check network monitor in the browser to see exactly what a web app is doing.

Running an executable is a risk by default and the way it interacts with my network is way less transparent. I honestly prefer this in the browser.

Most users don't know how to do that

Even less users know how to do this with an executable.
