His persistent efforts are the reason I pay for Bear Blog. I think he should fight for the chance to come out on the other side of whatever future we’re heading towards.

I pay for Bear Blog, too. But this year has been problem after problem for its sole proprietor, and I don’t think it’s going to get better.

As much as I love the service and enjoy the transparency, I do wonder about the future of smaller operator services as the Internet continues it's descent into a giant mess :-)

Even AWS, GCP, and Azure have had major outages in the past few months. Seems to be growing pains of the new era of the web, nowhere is truly safe.

To confirm, an LLC with a solo dev wouldn’t qualify?

I am not affiliated with the program, but I suspect an LLC would count as incorporated, and therefore an LLC with a solo dev (that has raised less than $10m) would qualify.

Lovely! I’ll give this a shot soon. Two questions: 1. Pricing - I presume y’all will eventually charge for hosting like n8n? I’m feeling a bit sheepish trying a new service without any mention of price. Even mentioning a free tier would be nice to see.

2. Any plans for integrating MCP servers? I’m looking to build a WhatsApp based Text to SQL service and this seems like a solid fit, but I’d like to use an MCP server that groks the business domain to query supabase. Any suggestions on how to pull this off?

appreciate it!

1) we are completely open source and you can self-host it if you so please. for the hosted platform, we have a free tier to let you tinker and get some free inference credits, and then we have a pro plan with is $20 worth of inference, team plan with $40. we only charge for inference, not to use the platform

2) we are planning on integrating with MCP servers, although hesitatn because its a newer protocol and may not be here to stay (might be a hot take). in the meantime, we have pre-built integrations for whatsapp & supabase, so you can definitely build this out today

This is so good. I love the name, logo, and bugs section.

It's been released as of an hour ago!!! https://github.com/SagiPolaczek/NeuralSVG/pull/6

Oh boy oh boy oh boy

Likewise! Really appreciate the reply and insight; I adore the alloy metaphor. I used to do a bit of blacksmithing a few years back and will def pocket this way of thinking about it.

How long have you been on your journey? I'm still wrangling the core language, particularly in regards to nested recursion. This is my first FP endeavor and feeling the drag on my brain.

Great analogy, and agreed. I want to understand the difference between good enough code that works, and great code. Ideally writing the latter myself, but some blend of traditional/new might get us there faster.

Totally agree it could get us there faster. My issue is more with the things general purpose LLMs train on. Maybe train a custom one on known good sources specific to a language?

I signed up for Gemini Advanced to get access to Deep Research on Feb 1st and felt on top of the world. So cool, so advanced.

Then OpenAI announced theirs on the 2nd: https://openai.com/index/introducing-deep-research/

Ethan Mollick called Google's undergraduate level and OpenAI's graduate level on the 3rd: https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/the-end-of-search-the-begin...

And now this. I can't stop thinking about The Onion Movie's "Bates 4000" clip:

My X feed is 90% AI Influencers like this saying "I'm blown away! Check this out.."

Is this a new cottage industry? Are they making money?

Yea x and YouTube. Also the YouTube meta specifically seems to have moved to these sensationalist over exaggeration and over simplification. Really would be nice to have a sensibility filter somehow. It’s gonna come with ai.

I like AI Explained on Youtube for non-sensationalist and thoughtful takes: https://www.youtube.com/@aiexplained-official

I’ve heard it’s all the crypto influencers jumping into the AI hype

Mollik is the great sense-maker. Whatever he says is usually wrong
