  @mrsgcomics Onedrive honestly was the best one of the filesyncing services I've used over the time but don't rely on that alone if **** hits the fan. Dropbox (2expensive), Mega (2sluggish), Idrive (obsolete), Gdrive (risky+slow unless you use that app but even then), haven't tried Proton.

  @TLYShortener offering a genuinely useful, privacy-friendly app (no login, no ads) that seamlessly integrates with the company's core product (t_ly short links), is indeed a standard growth tactic seen in tools like Canva, Notion, or Dropbox. The QR app lowers barriers for users while creating natural upsell opportunities: frequent QR creators may later pay for t_ly analytics, custom domains, or branded links without feeling forced. Trade-off is transparent here; users get a solid free scanner but feed data into t_ly's ecosystem, which benefits the provider through increased link volume and potential premium conversions.

  “consumer doesn't run on problems” 👏 Consumers will pay to be entertained. Businesses will pay to be productive. This is a lesson the tech industry is forced to learn every decade or so. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Dropbox, Evernote, Quip, AirTable, Trello, etc have all learned this the hard way. We saw it play out in crypto. Today it’s playing out in OpenAI vs Anthropic.

  Open source NotebookLM alternative with no data limits and AI agents. Same idea as Google's NotebookLM. Same chat-with-your-docs. Same podcast generator. Same cited answers. Except this one has no source limit, no notebook limit, no 200MB file cap, and no Google login. It's called SurfSense. Google NotebookLM vs SurfSense: - Sources per notebook: 50 to 600 → Unlimited - File size cap: 200MB and 500K words → No limit - LLM choice: Gemini only → 100+ models via LiteLLM - Local LLMs: Not allowed → Full Ollama and vLLM support - Self-host: No → Yes, one Docker command - Price: $0, $19.99/mo Pro, or $249.99/mo Ultra → $0 forever Here's the wildest part: It connects to 27+ sources Google can't touch. Notion. Slack. Linear. Jira. GitHub. Discord. Dropbox. OneDrive. Gmail. Confluence. Obsidian. ClickUp. Microsoft Teams. Airtable. Your entire work life, indexed once, searchable from one chat box. 14.4K GitHub stars. 1.4K forks. 6,232 commits. Apache-2.0 license. One honest note: the README says it's not yet production-ready and still being actively developed. But it already does more than NotebookLM does, and the gap is widening every release. This is what NotebookLM should have been from the start. Repo in the first comment.

  @thekevinjon The only problem is getting zezwolenia na pracę. I was going to interview with Dropbox last week and turns out they are happy to interview me and submit my case to Mazowiecki Urząd Wojewódzki. ... and then wait for 8 months until my case is approved, and I can actually start working. That's a huge deal-breaker for a lot of engineers like myself who are less than 5 years into staying in Poland. I'm on JDG for example. I came by PBH visa back in 2023 legally, and I've been successful since. I earned quite a bit of money and spent it all in Poland, 12% tax + $500 ZUS monthly. But the moment I want to join bigtech and earn even more money for Poland (Dropbox have 300-400k+ PLN base salary for Senior SWE), I'm just denied. Please, please... let the Dobby be free...

  What's the point of using smarter models if "smarter" means 10% better at finding obscure bugs and having a sassy attitude? Most of the true productivity gains that coding agents have to offer, which are finite, can be obtained using open-weight models for literally 1/100 of the price. The catch is that you actually need to understand the code you are working on. At the same time, I still think there's a viable business serving proprietary models. People are willing to pay for Dropbox even though FTP is free, and it's nice to throw a tough problem at a stronger model occasionally (if intellectual property limitations allow it). Plus, there's a whole frontier productizing this stuff. Unfortunately, Anthropic is currently in the business of spreading tall tales about future improvements, then shaking down enterprise customers. Most of it is based on 2010s LessWrong posts full of category errors, some of which I remember reading back in those days. And their recent hostility toward users in the name of safety is a result of the same ideological recklessness.

  OPENAI SHIPPED GPT-5.6 AND CHATGPT WORK. THE REAL WEAPON IS PRICE, NOT IQ. OpenAI shipped two things today. One of them is a costume change. GPT-5.6 landed as three models. ChatGPT Work is a new agent on top. The feeds say "new agent does your work." The real launch is the price sheet. Sol, the flagship, costs $5 per million input tokens and $30 output. That's not flagship pricing. That's what you paid for a mid-tier model a year ago. The gate half the feeds skipped Context first. Two weeks ago the US government cut GPT-5.6 access down to a small group of vetted partners over national security. The gate held about 12 days. Restrictions lifted July 8, public release July 9. Same day SpaceXAI shipped Grok 4.5. The frontier now ships when the government clears it, not when the model is ready. Anthropic went through the exact same thing with Fable and Mythos in June. A pattern, not a one-off. Three models, price as the weapon GPT-5.6 is three models, not one. Sol is the flagship. Terra is the everyday workhorse. Luna is cheap and fast. Price per million tokens, in/out: Sol $5/$30, Terra $2.50/$15, Luna $1/$6. Terra matches GPT-5.5 quality at half the cost. Luna is the cheapest entry in the line. Altman told CNBC Sol is 54% more token-efficient on agentic coding. That's the message. Not "smarter." "Cheaper for the same result." And ultra: a mode inside Sol that spins up multiple agents in parallel and hands subtasks to submodels. The market counts token bills, not benchmarks. Enterprise thinks spend first now. OpenAI heard it and made price the argument. Today's real launch is unit economics, not intelligence. "Sol beats Fable 5, Luna beats Opus 4.8 at two-thirds the cost" are OpenAI's own benchmarks. Until independent runs, treat them as marketing. ChatGPT Work is Codex in a suit Now the "new agent." ChatGPT Work runs on Codex and GPT-5.6. It moves across your apps and files, stays on a project for hours, breaks it into steps, finishes on its own. Output: docs, sheets, slides, web apps. Inside sits a Unified Plugins Directory: Google Drive, Slack, Teams, Gmail, Outlook, Salesforce, GitHub, Canva, Dropbox, more. Call one with "@" or let the agent pick the source. Sounds familiar. This is OpenAI's second run at plugins. The first was 2023 and it flopped. Brockman admitted the models weren't ready back then. Honest read: hard to tell what's actually new. Scheduled Tasks, Computer Use, connectors already lived in ChatGPT and Codex. Long tasks and data sources worked before too. The real move isn't features. It's consolidation: on desktop, OpenAI is merging Codex and ChatGPT into one super app and putting Codex in front of people who don't code. The Anthropic mirror Here's the tell. This is the exact play Anthropic ran with Claude Code -> Cowork. Take a dev agent, strip the "for coders" label, hand it to knowledge workers. Cowork just hit web and mobile, timed to get ahead of this. Two labs, one bet: whoever owns the desktop app that touches your files and apps owns the knowledge-work layer. Chat is the storefront. The desktop is the land grab. What a practitioner does with it One: rebuild pipelines around price tiers. Route bulk work to Luna and Terra. Keep Sol and ultra for the 10% that needs the ceiling. Economics is a routing problem now, not a single-model choice. Two: the real unlock is the desktop with local file access, not the web. Free tier gets ChatGPT Work on desktop right away. Web and mobile roll by tier: Pro, Enterprise, Edu first, Plus and Business next. Three: billing is usage-based and shares one pool with Codex, ChatGPT for Excel, and Workspace Agents. Count tokens before, not after. A complex task burns quota quietly. Security: OpenAI touts Auto-Review, where senior models check important actions before they run, and claims it blocked 100% of protected-data extraction attempts in red-teaming. 100% in a lab is zero confirmations in ****. Test it yourself. Sober read The model war moved from IQ to unit economics. The product war moved from chat to the desktop that holds your files. Testers are already posting "best model I've touched." Maybe. That's day-one sentiment, not fact. The real scoreboard isn't a benchmark. It's the "AI spend" line in an enterprise budget. That's a market you can actually read. The window is the next couple weeks, before prices settle and everyone re-routes spend. Rebuild your routing around three models now and you enter the quarter with a smaller bill for the same work. Everyone else reads the thread and changes nothing.

  @kozerafilip @joinsauna @newitemco Here’s my main first impression of Sauna: I don’t see a clear winning use case yet. At least from my perspective, Sauna currently feels like a broad AI layer on top of the apps you already use. It can suggest what to do, help find information, and has a multiplayer/collaboration angle around understanding what other people are doing. But I don’t yet see the specific use case where Sauna is clearly much better than existing alternatives. For an early product, I think it would be useful to have a sharper wedge: a specific group of people, in a specific situation, with a painful problem where existing solutions are poor, and where Sauna is obviously the better answer. Maybe that wedge already exists, but as an outsider looking at the website and demo, it is not immediately clear to me. This feels especially important because Sauna asks users to overcome a meaningful amount of friction and anxiety. To unlock the value, users may need to connect sensitive apps like email, Slack, and Notion. If the multiplayer value is important, they may also need to convince teammates to connect their own sensitive apps. That creates a big trust and coordination hurdle, so the value proposition needs to be extremely clear before people will make that jump. One analogy I think about is Notion. Notion is now a very broad horizontal product: people use it as a CRM, Jira alternative, team wiki, notes app, etc. But early on, I believe it had a much simpler starting point: document and knowledge organization. The product and communication was focused on a better way to store, structure, and share notes and docs compared to alternatives like Google Drive, Dropbox, or scattered documents. People could use it for their own notes and documents first. Then, when they eventually shared a page with colleagues, those colleagues could immediately see the value because the page was easy to navigate, clear, flexible, and beautiful. I wonder what the wedge could be for Sauna. I noticed that the Solutions page seems to heavily feature Sauna in Slack, as an assistant that has access to shared context. Is that something that has been resonating better with users? One possible wedge could be someone who is overwhelmed by Slack because they have too many messages and threads to respond to. They could drop their personal assistant into a channel to help reply on their behalf, using context shared with Sauna, and escalate when it is unable to answer confidently. That might also create an easier mental model around access: the personal assistant in Sauna has access to more private context, while the team-facing assistant in Slack has more limited, scoped access. From there, if colleagues see the assistant working and want their own, that could be a natural path into the multiplayer or “*** main branch” idea. Individual assistants could start to merge shared context and provide better help, suggestions, and coordination over time. I’m not sure if this is the right wedge. The answer may already be visible in the product’s usage patterns: who is sticky, what they are using Sauna for, and where they are getting repeated value. But I think the key question is: what is the specific initial use case where Sauna is not just useful, but dramatically better than the alternatives? Once that is clear, I think the product / website / demo should make that use case extremely obvious to the users who need it. (Btw I'm speaking with Ryan tmr regarding the PM role. Which was what led me to explore Sauna as part of my own research. Thought I might as well share my first impressions here)
