   How is a company like mintlify getting so many big name customers for what appears to be a static site generator + hosting? Is there some secret sauce I'm missing, what is the value proposition?

   It's not clear if you need it on both ends to get an advantage?

   There's a whole industry of people selling solutions to WordPress's failings, all of whom have strong incentives for it not be properly improved.

   H100's can be $2 and hour, so $192 an hour for the full cluster. They report 22k tokens per second, so ~ 80 million an hour, thats $16 an hour at $0.2 per million. Maybe a bit more for input tokens, but it seems a long way off.

   What is obnoxious is that certificate transparency logs mean that you now have to effectively centrally register any new domain you put online. That means you instantly see a whole load of traffic to your domain from bots, scrapers, beg bounty scanners etc. Any new site has to be designed to handle that baseline of traffic.

   I understand the point of CTL's and it's necessary given that every browser and device is configured to trust CA's that you wouldn't actually trust. It's had awful side effects for people who want to host low traffic sites, or fly under the radar for whatever reason.

    Two problem with offering usage limits is the real limit you could offer if all users hit it, is low. The users with usage far below the limits feel they are getting a bad deal, compared to if they can't see the limits and they don't hit them, they feel they have "unlimited!".

    Are they going to be able to maintain the volunteer team who curate the catalogue? Currently a fair amount of work goes into making sure that hosted packages do not contain malware and also add value in that they don't replicate the features of existing packages. This workload has increased recently with AI generated submissions.

    From their statement "Our engineering teams have been working on and testing a fix for number of weeks". Can you image if a database was knowingly left unsecured for that long with data that sensitive and seemingly without telling anyone. It will be interesting to see how the ICO deal with this.

    I've been using sway daily since before it was really stable and recently tried Niri but maybe couldn't get over the muscle memory from sway. I use sway mostly in tabbed mode anyway which gives a similar feel to a scrolling WM but with flexibility to break out to tiles in a different workspace if needed.

    What has massively improved my workflow recently is vertical tabs in Firefox. I now have browser tabs I can cycle up and down through on side of my screen, and application tabs I can cycle through left and right at the top. I love it.

    The middle ground is to rent a GPU VPS as needed. You can get an H100 for $2/h. Not quite the same privacy as fully local offline, but better than a SASS API and good enough for me. Hopefully in a year or three it will truly be cost effective to run something useful locally and then I can switch.

    A much better model would be that Spotify split the monthly revenue from each user amongst the artists they listened to that month.

    It's not mutually exclusive. I work for a web host and there's no way we'd host the kind of stuff NFS host, but dont think that makes me in any way against free speech.

    I wonder how it works that they are banned from "routing internet traffic to IP addresses of all services present on the “Piracy Shield”. With a naive approach anyone who controlled the DNS records for a site present on the privacy shield could cause some serious mischief.

    What I really want form a bike route planner is a map style that shows smaller roads as you zoom out. When planning a cycling I'm interested in tiny back back roads but they are hidden as soon as I zoom out on any map enough to be useful for route planning.

    It's not 99% of the same things, you have cherry picked.

    There's many studies comparing the cost, I've never see any that put the saving as low as 10 to 15%, 50% is a more common figure.

    Most manufacturers grantee their batteries , mine has a 10 year warranty.Batteries developing problems and needing to be replaces is not really a thing.

    I don't think it is a blunt instrument, in fact I'd say the complete opposite. It's been a nudge of industry in a direction that's better for society, in a way that keeps that playing field level for different manufacturers, reduced their overall tax burden and not cost consumers anything. All this while avoiding any harsh ban, you can still buy high sugar drinks if you wish.
29. ollybee Jul 10, 2024 parent

    Yes absolutely. It's not a tax aimed at consumers, or even raising revenue. It's to incentivize manufacturers to reformulate their drinks to be less harmful and seems to have worked. An alternative might be a straight ban on high sugar drinks which seems blunt and less fair response.

    Are you monetizing purely on the cost of the pro plan, or are you planning on selling data or leveraging affiliate programs ? I make no judgement on those strategies.
