The hitch is that it would be more expensive, making it a "premium" product and limiting the market. Smart TV pricing typically includes subsidies based on the assumed data sales from each user over the lifetime of the device.

I really doubt the user data for a smart tv user is all that valuable. Meta has infinitely more rich data and an entire tightly optimized ad system and is on a platform where people commonly make large purchases and makes around $10 per user per year.

"The price of eggs has nothing on the price of computer memory right now.". A dozen eggs went to ~$5. They are eggs and most people use what, max 12 eggs a month? Get out of here with that trite garbage. Everyone knew that the egg shortage was due to the extreme step the US does of culling herds infected with avian flu and that they were transitory.

Surprisingly, apparently Americans average 279 eggs per year per person or 24 per month.

(This is not a comment making any judgements about cost or the state of the economy, I was just surprised to find it that high)

> margins are either good or can soon become good.

Their margins are negative and every increase in usage results in more cost. They have a whole leaderboard of people who pay $20 a month and then use $60,000 of compute.

That site seems to date from the days before there were real usage limits on Claude Code. Note that none of the submissions are recent. As such, I think it's basically irrelevant - the general observation is that Claude Code will rate limit you long, long before you can pull off the usage depicted so it's unlikely you can be massively net-profit-negative on Claude Code.

Anticheat has to stop being hostile and move to zero trust client server models. Stop giving clients enough data to snipe players across the map. We can probably get someone smart enough to write an model to overlord the server and realize when someone is wall hacking or moving faster than they should be able to pretty easy - we have the compute these days.

Something has to change to move away from these rootkit antivirus like apps looking for exploits.

I don't see how server-side-only anticheat could prevent cheats that simulate perfect input i.e., aimbots on known targets. Yes, you could attempt to heuristically identify cheat-y looking patterns of input, but I suspect that's much much easier said than done for anything other than very simple aimbots.

Figma has become absolutely shocking in the past few years. The performance is so bad these days. It doesn’t help that almost every designer doesn’t care to split things into more than one document. I’ve seen Figma documents with hundreds of screens.

542458 · 18 days ago

You don't need to split into multiple files to make large documents manageable, multiple pages works just fine (pages you're not using aren't loaded). But even still, I have absolutely massive pages with ~100 screens on them that work just fine on this base-tier M2 MBA.

Honestly given the complexity of the screens involved I feel Figma's performance is pretty reasonable. (Now, library publish and update - that's still unreasonably slow IMO)

> If they can figure out how to get the right kickbacks/referrals without compromising user trust and really nail the search and aggregation of data this could be a real money-maker.

As another commenter points out, "not compromising user trust" seems at odds with "money-maker" in the long-term. Surely Google and other large tech companies have demonstrated that to you at this point? I don't understand why so many people think OpenAI or any of them will be any different?

I still approximately trust (yes, I know it's imperfect, but so is every other source) NYT's Wirecutter, and they do affiliate links.

ChatGPT just launched "shopping research."[0]

Hideous idea as it is, I fully expect they break even in 2026.

Honestly, this is huge for people like me who tend to over-research and over-think the hell out of product choices. "Find me a top-fill warm-mist humidifier that looks nice, is competitively priced against similar products, and is available from a retailer in $city_name. Now watch for it to go on sale and lmk."

If they can figure out how to get the right kickbacks/referrals without compromising user trust and really nail the search and aggregation of data this could be a real money-maker.

> Run FLUX.2 [dev] on GeForce RTX GPUs for local experimentation with an optimized fp8 reference implementation of FLUX.2 [dev], created in collaboration with NVIDIA and ComfyUI.

Glad to see that they're sticking with open weights.

That said, Flux 1.x was 12B params, right? So this is about 3x as large plus a 24B text encoder (unless I'm misunderstanding), so it might be a significant challenge for local use. I'll be looking forward to the distill version.
