If you want guaranteed future access, then this is probably the only online option that actually fulfills this guarantee... other than that, physical media.
I regularly snag DVDs for $1 USD or less at garage/yard/boot sales. I see tons of cheap used physical media in record shops when I travel, too. eBay and Facebook Marketplace are also great sources for used DVD.
I promote this because not only does it restore some mastery* over your media, it keeps these discs out of landfills and oceans, where they will linger in a shredded state.
*we are, of course, still subject to any anti-piracy measures and non-removeable advertisements on the disc, which admittedly seems quaint by today's DRM standards, but I ccannot rightly say "complete" mastery over your media, here.
I watch films on streaming rather than old dvds with unskippable nonsense like "don't pirate this dvd" (well obviously I didn't, that's why I have the dvd), or the pain of the menu systems to just press play.
Physical media isn't guaranteed to retain future access. There are protocols for players to update various bits of data from the newest disk you have ever inserted into them. The Nintendo Wii certainly does this, I'm not sure if BluRay does but I don't see why they wouldn't.
Ever drive by a school bus stop in the mornings? Groups of kids just standing around each other, not interacting, heads bent down towards their phones. It’s actually really strange, but we adults do it, too.
It does and that one also feels kind of saturated for measuring the most advanced models - opus, Gemini, astra, sol, fable, glm, kimi all scoring within statistical noise of each other. (74 +-3% down to 69% +-5% for kimi).
It's still providing strong discrimination between weaker models.
Unless things changed this used to work but was blocked. You also used to be able to force in a model catalog to get around the token cap. Each, as of at least April, were closed off and ineffectual. I’ve not tried lately so you may be right.
Was your prompt just "I want a simple crud webapp" and that's the extent of it? There's absolutely no way you included the words "python", "flask", or "sqlite" and it still went with a Microsoft stack.
