If you mean the "consumer ecosystem", then Gemini 3 should be available as an API through Google's AI Vertex platform. If you don't even want a Google Cloud account, then I think the answer is no unless they announce a partnership with an inference cloud like cerebras.

mtremsal | 9 months ago | on: The European public DNS that makes your Internet safer

This is neat. I wonder what the delta is between this and NextDNS (who funds/powers the non-profit). I imagine NextDNS blocks a superset of the baseline of dangerous domains blocked by dns0.eu? Is the main addition primarily advertising and analytics related?

edit: another key addition by NextDNS is a global infra footprint, rather than just in the EU. Oh it looks like there’s no anycast with the non-profit as well? And you have to pick your local resolver. I guess that makes sense because the main value prop of NextDNS (to me) is when I’m traveling and a local pi-hole won’t suffice.

> We have a free version. For now, we have kept it invite-only. Question is TOFU.

Comment from `amanchanda`, i.e. the OP.

Nice hustle writing an Ask HN post to then plug your own product, but you have to make sure to respond to questions with your _other_ account `nicooo`. ;)

IIRC Piketty's book also made a similar suggestion of having the government as an employer of last resort, i.e. offering an unlimited number of jobs at a guaranteed minimum income. It's seen as a more "palatable" policy by many, as it's "just a job" and we've already tried something similar during the New Deal. For people who take these jobs, there's also a lot less stigma than "taking social security".

IIRC the remaining risk lies in multiple people winning or attempting arbitrage simultaneously, thus dividing the expected revenue by the number of winners. So not a free lunch.

> This is why I quit Hearthstone even though I never spent a dime on it.

Good news, you now have time to pick up The Bazaar instead! (joke aside, it's quite fun, a lot more chill, and not nearly as exploitative as Hearthstone)

Would you mind expanding on how SerDes become a bottleneck? I’m not familiar and reading the Wikipedia article wasn’t enough to connect the dots.

mtremsal | 1 year ago | on: Buy, Borrow, Die – Explained

It has become more popular as a result of Google Search algorithm changes in December 2023. Search results now tend to showcase relevant Reddit posts regardless of subreddit size or post popularity, so it’s an efficient way to beat the SEO game. There’s value in owning the subreddit itself, such as to be able to display sidemenu links of your choosing.

mtremsal | 1 year ago | on: Workbook for Technical B2B Products

I use this workbook as part of my product and GTM advisory work with technical founders working on B2B products (e.g. devtools, infra, security).

There's something unique about deeply technical products, and startups founded by engineers, that often lead them to similar challenges. There's also a unique requirement that engineers must shape the product at least as much as PMs, however technical they might be. While there's no silver bullet in my doc, there's some opinionated advice to avoid common pitfalls at various stages.

I'm not looking for new customers; I just figured that some technical founders or PMs out there might find the doc useful while navigating their own 0-to-1 journey. Cheers!
