Excessive debt build up in particular due to the Vietnam war caused the US to cancel the dollar gold convertibility.

And the US almost killed their president for it.

There’s also the tinfoil theory that France did the same to Gaddafi

What are you talking about?

The unproven but persistent conspiracy theory that the US was behind one or more assassination attempts on Charles de Gaulle. Often brought up in connection with gold, the exorbitant privilege, and beer.

Is it not about the same as using OpenCode?

And is running a local model with Claude Code actually usable for any practical work compared to the hosted Anthropic models?

The Danish MitId also only runs on Google and Apple devices. No alternative phone platforms are supported including open source Android.

If you don’t have an iPhone or an android, you can get a physical one time password device.

You can get that, even if you have a phone with the app on it. MitID is perfectly okay with that. At login time you will be prompted for your token code, but there is an option to switch to the app ("Skift til MitID app" in the bottom of the box).

The MitID design is strange, but in this regard it is well done.

You can get that anyway, and you should because 2 is 1 and 1 is none.

April fool!

Oh my god - these guys are worse than hn.

As long at it gets past Azure's bot protection ...

Curious why these tools are not going in the direction of co-creation? Allow the end-user to tinker, play along, and turn the dials on what would be a very advanced synthesizer.

You can. You're asking for a toolkit or scaffolding.

You're asking why the car engine doesn't let you steer the vehicle when steering is so useful.

Because it's a diffusion model that hardly able to redo what it just did.

Yes, but as a producer I would like to have more simplistic generations such as "Generate me 15 variations of a kick that sounds like X", I think stuff like this would be much more useful.
