Have you tried Kagi? It gets you access to Claude Sonnet, ChatGPT, Llama, Mistrel, etc.

As a millennial, I'm going to just not buy goldfish crackers for awhile because this is dumb.

But also I haven't been buying them because I'm on a diet and I could eat an entire gallon container in one sitting if left to my own devices.

I hate myself for buying a John Deere tractor, but it was up to $5000 less than any comparable competitor at the time, included a 5 year service contract, and was 0.9% financing.

I'm in a better place financially now, so when I can and need to, I'm absolutely getting something different.

There exist plenty of services on school campuses that send passwords in plaintext. There are services outside of school campuses that do, too. Hell, I've been able to bypass 2FA checks by just navigating around them, I don't know what else to tell you, not everything out there uses the best security practices, so don't assume that they do.

I mean, yes, I'm in my 40s, but it's just as effective today.

I'm not even an expert in this stuff, but with a tool I found online I demonstrated that it was easy to snoop people's passwords on my school's wifi networks back in the day. It took minutes.

Well that's disconcerting.

There's no failsafe? Jesus.

Seems right. I have a friend who works for Amazon and lives in Portland, OR. They're asking them to relocate to Seattle to RTO. Now they're debating if they even want to stay at the company. Supposedly they have until EOY to decide.

I agree this is amazing and huge, but for my own sanity, what stops someone from engineering cells that do bad?

Oh, it tastes fine, I'm saying like...energy-wise and sugar-crash-wise I feel bad. Just wondering if I'm missing something.
