I just can't see how this keeps going cost increase on each new model. At the rate were going these models are just going to be too expensive and no one will be allowed to use them in businesses I'm seeing some engineers spend double the amount of money with less output

The fact the users icon isn't the same size as the go to top icon really bugs me. Does this bother anyone else? Can we please make these the same size? /cc @bsky.app

Really impressed with @tailscale.com MagicDNS and it's ability to provision a SSL cert for a internal domain. This is all built into a Go binary I probably didn't actually need to obfuscate anything cause in theory it's all secure and private to my own tailnet
