  • There are always trade offs.

    I would love to main a Linux phone, as I’m sure many here would. But the present trade offs are too great.

    NFC payments are extremely convenient, especially when managing multiple cards - some of which are virtual. It’s a service I had, then went without for awhile, and then appreciate having back again.

    I understand my initial comment makes it seem like I never carry a wallet true - which is not true - and liking Google Wallet is akin to saying “but I just like smoking” (in this community).

    It’s great that you don’t find it as convenient, which means the trade off isn’t as substantial for you. However for my 5 days a week commuting it’s a load off.






  • A few things come to mind

    1. Is this much different from the “reading view” popularized by Instapaper, reading later, etc and now baked into most browsers today?
    2. What is a token?
    3. How is it that tokens have become the base unit on which we denominate LLM work/effort/task difficulty/cost?
    4. Does every LLM model make use of “tokens” or is it just one or a select few?
    5. If multiple use the idea of tokens, is a token with one LLM/provider equivalent to a token with a different LLM/provider?
