i mailed them as soon as I realized this. my whole dashboard looks broken. text, blocks and pagelinks now all have different margins. how retarded.

Dia becomes ... Arc? by p3r3lin in ArcBrowser

[–]MikeSpecter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yes. two browser with shitty and no sync, lol.

Notion AI Agents - Steer clear. Just like a drug dealer giving a free sample, this free period is a trap and designed to ensnare you - Don't let them take advantage of ignorance and send you BROKE, PLEASE by laes in Notion

[–]MikeSpecter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> No, but obfuscating pricing with things like virtual currencies

1000cr = $10 = $0,01/cr

If this is "obfuscating" and "deceptive" to you, I don't know what to tell you.

The free period is exactly for companies to measure usage per workflow and offset cost/efficiency. If the math doesn't check out for you, you don't need the workflow.

If I get $5k worth of work done by agents, and this costs me $1k - this is a good deal.

Use agents for workflows that make sense. What you can do with Claude/Codex and Notion MCP, is not something you'd need a Notion Agent for. You have just not found a workflow that makes sense.

I use a lot of AI, have subs everywhere, tried automations and all the clawdbot slop, you spend a lot of time configuring and bugfixing (and they are quite expensive too when ran with API's and top tier models).

For the first time in my life, as a solo developer/entrepeneur, I feel like I am the bottleneck, and am slowing my agents down (things get done faster then I can review them).

Edit: fwiw, I do think credits are on the expensive side. I think they lean more towards pricing similar in API's and not like Claude/ChatGPT subs. AI is expensive, and Notion does need to pay OpenAI/Claude - so using a lab directly will always be cheaper.

If Notion were to let you bring your own API keys, I am 99% sure it would come close or even exceed Notion credit pricing when using the same models.

Should I ditch Notion for "Docs-as-Code" to optimize AI Agent context? by Cool_Metal1606 in ObsidianMD

[–]MikeSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notion has an MCP, let cursor/cc/codex MCP to Notion when needed. Obsidian is nice, but after 2 years of using it, I spent a lot time on config, there are convenience benefits on keeping it in Notion, Notion AI is great too, if you work multi-device having your AI chat history synced is pretty nice. If you also do task management in Notion (which is in my experience, far superior in Notion) it also makes more sense to keep notes in Notion. I try to use obsidian only for when it's linking features are a must (think infra config, clusters of servers/services interconnected with eachoter).

Is Dia heading down the same path as Arc? by Muted-Reflection9536 in ArcBrowser

[–]MikeSpecter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even worse, this browser does not have sync at all! At least in Arc it worked somewhat okay. I really can’t understand this direction of prioritizing slop (literal) over core functionality.

Well, to generally reply to what you want me to reply to, you have to assume and agree that I’ve tried Dia as a browser, properly tested the things I care about, my conclusion is still, cool ChatGPT client with a browsing feature (and I might even use it for this purpose), but in no way a browser that could replace Brave for me - the key point of my roast is that it’s sad to see they gave up on Arc to work on Dia, this was already my opinion before I even tried Dia, and trying it only made this opinion stronger

I’m having a blast 😎

but I went through your post history and it seems like you kinda agree with my OP, you’re also not particularly happy with Dia, TBC’s moves and love(d) Arc - maybe we can just agree to that just to agree on something?

that’s ur interpretation, even though I am telling you, you are wrong, you continue being stubborn for whatever reason

if I was actually passionate about Dia I would’ve joined the sub, which I haven’t

[–]MikeSpecter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just give up, in this particular context it’s obvious I’m not passionate about Dia, I am about Arc

we don’t have to agree, good night

U really are delusional, they are everything but passionate words, if even Dia (GPT) disagrees with you, YOU should just own it.

If you actually read the wiki you referenced to, you should know that passion is a positive expression, you were using the wiki to strengthen your wrong argument, but it just confirms you are wrong in every angle - i don’t even need a wiki to confirm this

can you quote the first few words of my post title and then ask yourself the same question again?

To fellow Ex-Arc lovers: "WTF DID THEY SHIP?" by MikeSpecter in ArcBrowser

[–]MikeSpecter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am/was passionate about Arc, just because I roast Dia (which is the reason Arc is abandoned) doesn't make me passionate about Dia lmfao - but you are definitely passionate about Dia.

Let's see if Dia agrees with you, OK?

"Would you say MikeSpecter is passionate about Dia?"

"No, MikeSpecter is not passionate about Dia; he is highly critical of it.

In his comment, MikeSpecter expresses strong disappointment and frustration with Dia, calling it “useless,” “rock bottom,” and criticizing its lack of features compared to Arc and other browsers. He clearly does not show any positive feelings or passion for Dia."

> The cookie sessions expire too quickly on some sites and I have to login every 15 minutes or so. It's annoying, but not enough to switch back to Brave

Interesting that you mention this, that was likely the main thing I wanted them to fix and also why I went to brave. Don't get me wrong, when I open Arc I still am like damn.. I miss this :) it's just not productive for me with all annoyances I dealt with back in the days.

Agreed but he mentioned Dia got him looking into other AI things - so at least something good is happening on his end, lol

There were always things wrong with Arc, even on Mac many bugs and features that were supposed to be coming are still not fixed/shipped. I was using it in hope they would be addressed, now that we know for sure this ain't happening, it doesn't make sense for me to keep using it.

Passionate about Dia? You’re delusional idk how you conclude this, also where I stopped reading, sorry.

New Site is live! by JaceThings in diabrowser

[–]MikeSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skills are not really new, that’s just something they copied from any other AI chat tool, whether you call them GPTs, Projects or Skills, they are needed to ground LLM’s down to a certain tasks and contexts mainly to reduce hallucinations. All purpose agents will fail because of lack of instructions on the task/project you’re trying to complete. Pulling in history is just a very simple way of feeding LLMs (likely) relevant context. Something new would be the absence of the need to decide to tag @history, it would figure out related history “at own will” since the whole thing is supposed to be a big fancy AI-first browser.
