POI can run calculations. [1] That doesn't make it a full office suite but it does a lot.

Why wait? Book a flight to Yunnan, order a tasty mushroom soup or get a fresh batch from the markets.

Delegating stuff to Google (more recently AI) and repeating back the result, is one of my core functions at work next to programming.

A co-worker I'd just tell to RTFM when it's bothering me. Higher up the hierarchy, the egos are more fragile and I'm afraid the can't take it.

I tried Bun for a weekend around Christmas 2024. I quickly hit a bug that would freeze the runtime (issue #13237) when piping a stream into a file. I found that this had been open since August 2024, scrapped the experiment and moved on. The issue is open to this day. If the GitHub comments can be trusted, this behavior even carries over to the Rust port.

Sarcasm. (I guess)

Don't give them ideas.

> Oh and a Panel of 2 Opus 4.8 models is almost exactly as good as one Fable 5. That smells suspicious. Do we know if that might simply be what Anthropic is doing behind the curtain?

I wouldn't be surprised if Fable/Mythos is a model distilled from a Panel/Council of Claude instances. Recursive self improvement is something all AI labs must be working on in some way or another.

It makes sense to me.

When Google Search is quoting a 3rd-party website that happens to have bad information, that's not on them. Blame shifts to the 3rd-party. This is Google's privilege being a search engine.

When Google operates as an answer machine instead of a search engine, the privelege doesn't apply anymore. There's no 3rd-party to take the blame.

You're attacking semantics. the decision is entirely about the reliability and liability./

It still says "Always free" on the website for me. It's both on the billing page on the page linked in the article.

I do share the concerns though. The change in leadership, the poor transparency, 100% price increase and the quiet change in core values.

I was happy paying $10 yearly for Bitwarden. I'm still okay with $20 but there's a seed of doubt.

> It still says "Always free" on the website for me. It's both on the billing page on the page linked in the article.

Just went to the website directly: says "Get Started Free". "Always Free" is only present at the bottom of the pricing page for personal customers.

What concerns me more is that they've started using the same language that Adobe had been panned for: "$price a month, billed yearly".

To me, thats weird language for a product that (now) costs $20.00 a year. Not hundreds or thousands. Twenty dollars. For non-enterprise users.

The lack of transparency and quietly changing things around makes me wary.

The placement at the bottom of pricing is always where it was. Nothing has changed

They did raise the price to $20 (but the free version is still amazing). But that’s still really cheap and pretty much all services have gone up in price in the past 10 years (inflation)

They mentioned in an update that they accidentally removed “always free” text during a website update and put it back quickly. Seems the article was written in the intervening period

It's almost like they want me to switch to the Chinese clones - which they consider malicious actors.
