All the comments reacting with hate because they know, deep down, it’s true. They’re not the main character. Nobody cares about their hyper encrypted nix home server with the perfect firewall setup. And they’re certainly not getting those hours of their life back.

I can downvote this with a clean conscience because I don't have a home server but aside from that you almost got me 100%.

It depends. If someone complains about something and then fixes it, I’ll take them over the toxic optimist. There is nothing inherently wrong with complaining, what matters is the intent behind it. A complaint can be constructive, mean, funny, or any other number of good or bad things.


Hahaha they’re cooked. GPT 4.5 was a massive flop. GPT 4.1 is barely an improvement after over a year. Now they’re grasping at straws. Anyone actually in this field who wasn’t a grifter knew improvements are sigmoidal.

All the original talent has already left too.

As opposed to you, the perfect human?

> blue collar jobs would take much longer to recover

So what are you saying? We should treat everyone like shit so everyone is equal? Or that only blue collar people have the right to complain?

How about we focus on raising the quality of living for everyone.


Darn I wonder if systems could be modified so that common mistakes become less common or if documentation could be written once and read multiple times by different people.


We feed it conventions that are automatically loaded for every LLM task, do that the LLM adheres to coding style, comment style, common project tooling and architecture etc.

These systems don't do online learning, but that doesn't mean you can spoon feed them what they should know and mutate that knowledge over time.


Is it really losing them money if investors throw fistfuls of cash at them for it


The owner of Gumroad is a millionaire, but for some reason decided to crank up the cost of charges from 2.9% to 12.9% a few years ago. Needless to say, most people who don’t like being screwed switched to Stripe or another provider. That’s all you need to know about Gumroad.


As a marketplace platform, it’s still lower than Apple/Google/Valve’s 30% cut. You pay for distribution, security, pre-integrations, shopping cart and other capabilities if you don’t want to do your own software development.


Given they're a merchant of records, cost of compliance increased, mainly thanks to europe (that seems to have as a mission to ruin working people' lives as much as possible).

Stripe + Lemon Squeezy was a competitor.

Paddle is a competitor (which I use precisely to avoid having to deal with worldwide regulations) and they charge around 5%.

Gumroad also gives you a marketplace so there's some extra value.

I pay 25% for another marketplace, so 13% is not that crazy if they can bring you traffic.


I mean Stripe has gotten bazillions in VC money allowing it to take huge losses in order to grow to its point.

Gumroad is tiny and does not have the economies of scale of Stripe, without knowing their financials this does not say anything at all.


How much does Stripe and typical other providers charge?


Stripe charges 2.9% (plus a fixed transaction fee).

Stripe is 2.9% + 30¢, I think most of the popular providers are pretty competitive with that. Gumroad does handle some hosting and analytics and stuff though, its not just a payment processor afaik.


2.9% + 30 cents


Neat. Maybe you guys should make a fine tuning platform for deepseek specifically, with a fine tune API similar to openAIs. You could expand out into hosting those models too.


you mean fine tuning that feels like SFT but is different (since you can't use that with reasoning models) built around the DeepSeek class of models?


I just want to fine tune deepseek v3 chat but it’s not possible or easy for regular consumers



Make a fuckton of money during the dot com boom and then rent seek new startups until you die of old age.
