@_ApexStatus Wait I thought you were funded by the ice bucket challenges

Monthly appreciation post for all the Patrons that are keeping ALS alive. Thanks to them, ALS has been ads free for more than 7 years. ALS wouldn't be what it is today without you all. ❤️

@mcuban Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

@jonschxyz This was definitely sarcasm btw

@jonschxyz idk what you're talking about it looks great

I mean how hard could it be to build a browser from scratch in c#, it's not rocket surgery

@BrockHerion Every time

@codemullins Famous last words

@davidfowl 👋

How many of you have a single step, fully automated release process?

@AlanNeveu This is using MAUI and I haven’t done any benchmarks but I would put money on guessing it’s terrible on memory usage and performance 🤣

Someone should make a browser that prioritizes tiny memory and CPU footprint while intentionally deprioritizing rendering perfection. Would be fun, kind of a Wild West and return to the internet of yesteryear. Like a flip phone browser that you can take out on a rowdy night and not care if you lose it 😭

I’ve been trying to see if there’s a big difference between 5.5 and 5.4. It’s still likely our long term plan might have to be to go directly with the provider (eg OpenAI or Anthropic). If it were in my control I’d probably be in the buy my own hardware camp to supplement hosted solutions.

@codemullins Also, switching from Opus 4.7 to GPT 5.5 won't really make much of a difference on cost, they're both premium models that aren't cheap. This being said, I'd take GPT 5.5 over Opus 4.7 any time. I've been on GPT models since 5.3.

Organizations using GitHub Copilot, what are the different ways you plan to address the upcoming pricing changes? I only see 3 options so far: 1) Upgrading from Business to Enterprise may save money because included AI credits are now pooled and cost less than on-demand credits

@raddevus Fun!

@codemullins Looks great. I writing mine in C# 10.x / AValoniaUI It supports tabbed browsing, has a simple "reader's" Favorites sidebar, runs on macOS, Linux & Win11 & it's FOSS (github.com/raddevus/congr…) Yes, it's based on WebView - still adding features, want transparency for user. 👍

@vyrotek webmaster 🙇

@codemullins If I make a public share folder would that make me a cloud provider?

I unexpectedly acquired a static IP What are good things to do with it Wrong answers only

@jonschxyz production ready

LLMs will be over here building the hardest shit meanwhile struggling with Blazor data binding

@DevLeaderCa 1. don't

What's your approach to unit testing in .NET? Any preferred frameworks or tools?

@LukeParkerDev let's pool money for an opencode subscription so we can start the opencode-dotnet vibe port

okay help me out guys

@davidfowl @github got any way to bump people up on the waitlist 👀

So now that the @github app is out I can tell you that you can spawn sessions from sessions and communicate across them. That has amplified my output and it’s one of the reasons I reduced the cli usage.
