It’s actually extremely motivating to consider what LLM or similar AI agent could do for us if we were to free our minds from 2 decades of SaaS brainrot.
What if we ran AI locally and used it to actually do labor-intensive things with computers that make money rather than assuming everything were web-connected, paywalled, rate-limited, authenticated, tracked, and resold?
Certainly useful for authoring, since that's what I do most now as a founder. Most of my code is pretty fresh. While I can give you some feedback, I probably wouldn't pay more than a couple bucks a month. Meanwhile the larger, older codebases at more mature companies have much greater need and budgets.
Thanks! Getting all the possibly-relevant related code isn't too hard; the hard part is filtering down to what's relevant. So I think specific use cases (e.g. "how do I get from a known entry point to some method/property/etc") is gonna be key.
I read that sentence as saying someone came up with a cost estimate of $142.7b to clean up everything, and then there's a comparison to 3M's $53b market cap for scale/comparison.
I don't think all the money in the world could cleanup "everything" that is contaminated with PFAS - it is effectively pervasive in the ecosystem at this point.

I think Apple's whole point is that they provide the APIs so that apps can do this themselves. Which, yeah, is a bit disappointing; I'd love to have a 100% fidelity, flick-to-another-device type of Continuity built into the OS, but the APIs are at least a starting point.
Consider storing the data on Backblaze B2 ($0.005/GB/month) and serving content via Cloudflare (egress from B2 to Cloudflare is free through their Bandwidth Alliance).
(No affiliation with either; just a happy customer for a tiny personal project)
Man, thanks so much for this. I’m using Wasabi with a Yarkon front end right now and it’s great, but Backblaze/Cloudflare is looking like a serious contender.
That is exactly the use case, which is hosting the files on b2 (not cdn capable) and caching+serving from cloudflare. Unless the files in question are webpages or static webpage content (doubtful) then it would definitely be exactly the target of these new TOS updates.
I'm working on an app to browse a codebase as a list of constructs — classes, methods, etc. It matches how I think about code: as a database of named entities, in which the implementation is often an afterthought — unlike text editors, in which constructs of various types, along with their implementation, all kind of look the same. It's still a very early project, but here's a short recording of some of what I've built so far[^0]. It's been a great way to learn SwiftUI, the Language Server Protocol, and FSEvents as well!
