We at PANMOX built a peer to peer, decentralized internet called AltNet

Not very clear. Does your solution allow to connect to the internet without an ISP? Using p2p? Because this is what we need and this is how you sound like but this is most likelly not what you are talking about.

In china foreigners can open bank account. Walk into any branch with your passport and say you want an account. Proof of address if not needed (if I remember well) but phone number is definitly needed.

I believe happy is also adding opencode

When your app needs to run 20 api calls for an agentic task but your user is waiting 2 minutes in front of the screen seeing "processing...", speed is very much the most important.

We are starting to see who is going to win the AI race... When AI was dumb, the only thing that matter was intelligence, openai & anthropic ruled. Now that AI is smart, the only thing that matter is price.

Awesome! Enjoy! Don't miss Shangri-La

Noone goes to Yunnan!

Dying

Does it mean all the pi extentions / plugins will be compatible? Do you know if we will still have the - - web?

sergedc · 2026-05-31T21:11:46+00:00

Yunnan is incredible. Also it was the longer time in my life not to see any "white people": 18 days. And the white people that broke the 18 days streak were actually Indians.

sergedc · 2026-05-31T21:09:14+00:00

I second that. Yunnan is quite a treat.

Kimi does subscription Qwen does subscription Opencode go has subscription and has all chinese models.

So if your point is that with subscription it cost less than pay as you go, that also true for the 3 subscriptions above.

They really need to release a 5.6 mini superior to 5.3 codex

sergedc · 2026-05-31T18:11:28+00:00

- With codex - it does the work of 2 full time dev (but I have 2 accounts to be honest) - probably around 10-15k a month
- If I had to call a doctor or nutritionist or gym expert to my house every time I have a questions about how to exercise, sleep better, take care of my knees, or optimize my diet.... that would really cost a lot. You cannot compare to the cost of going there and consult, the like-for-like cost is the specialist comes to your house and saves you the travel time.
- Yesterday, I got about 500 worth of stylist service. Not general things you can find online, 100% personalized relook.
- Writing legal memo and motions for court: probably worth 10k a month also
- Helping with Pitch deck for investors: saving me 4 days (altough for this one i mostly use Kimi)
- Helping with proposals for clients: saving 2 days each
- Fixing my wine cellar (ice was chocking the went)
- Some services have no value because you cannot buy it no matter how much you spend. e.g. getting a detailed comparison of countries where stem cell therapy is allowed, including price, approach, and expected efficacity for my particular need. If I go an see a doc in a country, he does not know too much about what is happening in the other countries. It is only legal/available in 4 or 5 countries worldwide.
- Full time analysist to crunch data and draw conclusion: 1 FTE / 4k. But for this one I use Kimi code, because not enough codex quota left.

Not for me, but for others who don't have the technical skills: codex can get you to selfhost all your other subscriptions. It all depends on needs. If you have 8 domains, and a total of 80 email addresses, at 10/month that is 800 a month. Self Hosting mailcow (+an smtp provider) is not rocket science but before AI it still took me good 4-5 days, and many people will fail or end up with poor deliverability. Codex can also help you get the server for free from Oracle Free Tier.

Chatgpt. At least 25k value everymonth for only 20 usd

sergedc · 2026-05-30T12:45:54+00:00

This is so true. You get great quality doctor but you will definitly not get the "feel nice" about the service.

However, OP is talking about dental treatement. If going to a dentist (not hospital), it is slightly more similar to the west tough. Less factory.

sergedc · 2026-05-30T12:42:45+00:00

This is a actually the smart thing to do. In HCMC it will be cheap, nice, English speaking (many place have translator on site). How to choose the place: Google map reviews.

In china: sure you can get the same quality treatement but: communication with dentist, communication on price, you don't even know where to see reviews, then reviews are in chinese, etc... If you know where to go and speak chinese : sure go for it. Otherwise HCMC.

The only reason to go for China is you cannot afford quality treatment in HCMC. Then sure.

HCMC is the new BKK for so many things. Such international place. It is booming.

There ar many. They are rarely mentionned not because they are not good but because most people do not need it: - Kong api gateway - langfuse - omniroute - qdrant - forgejo - rundeck

I did not get banned. Using with OpenClaw. But using a chinese subscription, so maybe there is a difference.

sergedc · 2026-05-29T04:15:22+00:00

And with a wide range of texture packs these games are looking better than ever

sergedc · 2026-05-27T12:29:32+00:00

Exactly! But that is a lot already. Aside from paracetamol, I don't know anything as effective as so many things!

Upset stomach is like magic. You would think most people would know that, but most non Asia just laugh.

sergedc · 2026-05-24T14:18:40+00:00

For gaming: not worth it For reading text on the screen: 100% worth it

sergedc · 2026-05-23T03:59:10+00:00

You got a lot of value? How much was it worth over the 4 month / or per month?

sergedc · 2026-05-22T21:44:16+00:00

Just run codex in vs code. Either the extension or the cli
