Fine article but a very important fact comes in at the end — the author has a human personal assistant. It doesn't fundamentally change anything they wrote, but it shows how far out of the ordinary this person is. They were a Thiel Fellow in 2020 and graduated from Phillips Exeter, roughly the most elite high school in the US.
When I saw them buying $80 Arc'teryx gloves that was enough for me.

If anyone is looking for an alternative made in Germany: https://ignite.video/en
Literally 10x the price of Vimeo, unfortunately. Otherwise I might have given this a go.
Source: my Vimeo annual plan renewal currently shows US$144. We host about 100 videos and get in the dozens of views a day. Pretty small.
Your 'Grow' plan is €155/month × 12 = €1,860 = $2,218! That's … a lot.

+1 for SyncThing. No cloud, thanks. And unlike OneDrive, it actually works. OneDrive screwed me when I tried it, so I completely uninstalled it. Still on Windows 10 too. Not regretting it so far.
+1 for Syncthing so that I can take the opportunity to correct the very common mis-PascalCasing of its name.

That site doesn't seem to support pages loading either.
edit: I feel their pain - I've spent the past week fighting AI scrapers on multiple sites hitting routes that somehow bypass Cloudflare's cache. Thousands of requests per minute, often to URLs that have never even existed. Baidu and OpenAI, I'm looking at you.

Oh you're so deterministic.
what ram and what minimum system req do you need to run this on personal systems !
If you have to ask, you don't have it.
And they didn't put a small loop in it so you can attach one of those skinny little lanyard hoops?!
Attaching these things to anything is their major flaw.

Compilers will produce working output given working input literally 100% of my time in my career. I've never personally found a compiler bug.
Meanwhile AI can't be trusted to give me a recipe for potato soup. That is to say, I would under no circumstances blindly follow the output of an LLM I asked to make soup. While I have, every day of my life, gladly sent all of the compiler output to the CPU without ever checking it.
The compiler metaphor is simply incorrect and people trying to say LLMs compile English into code insult compiler devs and English speakers alike.
Because there isn’t a canonical recipe for potato soup.
