They said 6 billion tokens, which isn't as much as I thought it might be.

Am I doing my napkin math correct? The post says it's using a model comparable to Fable 5.1, which is $50 per million output tokens. So this is ~$300K? Surely an over-estimate due to caching.

Surely input tokens are also involved, and not necessarily only for the initial prompt if there are feedback loops or agent interactions.

Unfortunately I don't see this particular view paying off in the age of AI, as many prove they have nothing at all to say but say it anyways. Which isn't to say people shouldn't write if they enjoy writing, but I for one will stay a discerning reader.

At this point it feels like it would be more honest for this to be titled "Disruption with Some GitHub Service".

This isn't for when you are looking at the restaurant booking page, it's for when your agent is on that page. Personally I don't need an agent to help me with this specific problem, but I could see it being a real boon for people with accessibility needs.

Sometimes it helps to not think of why we should reject things but instead to think of why someone might accept them.

I think the notion that the solution to accessibility is to place a unreliable agent in-between is ludicrous.

If a page has good accessibility an agent should have no problem to interact with it. If WebMCP becomes an acceptable solution for accessibility then the only way people who need accessibility will be able to interact with services is via agents.

It does mention something about "using the page you're already logged into" so I presumed that it meant the browser you had open in front of you

Agreed. This site is always literally unreadable for me on mobile like they placed a blur filter over then entire page.

I'm unfortunately really unimpressed with the Trackpoints coming out of Lenovo today. I have a brand new ThinkPad that suffers from drift everyday, so it's easy for me to see why other companies aren't including Trackpoints on their products.

There is no good Lenovo hardware anymore. It’s been completely swallowed by the Chinese company that bought it, and even the formerly “noble”/enterprise lines are junk now. Same as HP.

I’d argue it’s a superior mouse even with the drift, even though I agree that the drift is annoying and am amazed they have not been able to fix it all these years.

I still use it everyday, but it is definitely a love/hate relationship. I imagine I'll switch to an ergonomic keyboard with trackpoint someday soon.

Much less "today", I have horrible chronic drift problems with my 2019-era X1 Gen 7, which is super disappointing.

Sometimes I wonder if mistakes are now used to indicate the possibility that a human actually wrote it.

There’s been a spate of Reddit AI bots using all lower case in hopes of evading detection.

It’s still incredibly obvious.

I don’t really visit Reddit much these days but would love to see an example.

AWS? Cloudflare? Your imagination is the only limit!

I'm not sure I understand the significance of them having almost no American born engineers. Do we think it would be meaningfully different if they were? I tend to believe that Americans can be just as incompetent as the next guy!

That makes sense to me. The output styles work the same way.
