Samuel @samuel.fm · 13hdon’t be ridiculous computers can’t do addition. they can only NAND, XOR, NOT, NOR etc. it’s ridiculous to imply you could build higher level mechanisms on top of these foundations, its completely implausible 3684

Samuel @samuel.fm · 28/09/2026I have tended to use Fable to fill that roll, but Astra is pretty great too Honestly I like all the models at the moment. We’re in a good place 070
Reposted by SamuelJaz @jaz.sh · 27/09/2026Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.devatlas.jazco.devAtlasA living map of what Bluesky is talking about: the past week's conversations, grouped into topics and regions and rebuilt every six hours. 1171413420

Samuel @samuel.fm · 26/09/2026I’m saying the API prices is inflated in order to manage supply, and the plans are cheaper but still profitable even if you manage to juice it for more tokens than it’s worth at APIs prices 140

Samuel @samuel.fm · 26/09/2026sort of. I think we really can’t underestimate just how absurdly popular ChatGPT is. I think there’s a degree where it’s less a matter of token price for capitalism reason vs there is a limited amount of compute in the world and the ChatGPT free tier is a hungry beast 010

Samuel @samuel.fm · 26/09/2026people think of x20/x100 plans as subsidies, but they’re really more a form of rationing! 2411
Samuel @samuel.fm · 26/09/2026the myth of token subsidies is basically dead, right? open source inference providers are so cheap it proves the true cost of a token is very low, and the high cost of claude tokens imo indicates limited supply rather than propping up demand. oai is able to cut costs because they have more computers 41096
