Why not accept the write downs and say you're pivoting to AI? The can can't be kicked down the road forever...
It's interesting to note the anthropic marginal cost of compute is quite high (the SpaceX deal). Claude estimates SpaceX are charging 3x as much as the anthropic average! If that is correct then a few interesting things…
You might be able to make transactions work but it's really the opposite of what duckdb is designed for. Do it only for fun.
I think they need another version of the charts with "subscription prices" at least. Lots of people are not paying API rates.
Matt Levine likes to argue everything is securities fraud. I'm not close enough to the industry but it seems true enough. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-06-26/everyt...
Yeah he recently built a rack over a weekend and has been planning to fill it. He has decent business takes on tech, the podcast/articles are worth paying attention to. The actual tech takes are probably too dumb for…
Forgive me for being the idiot in the room but is the argument: 1. 5900 was always known to be an extra unsafe port to have open 2. all ports should be assumed unsafe without explicit vetting I'm assuming the argument…
The sales pitch should change from "probabilistically we will NEVER lose your data" to "you are most likely to lose your data due to wars, terrorists, software bugs, someone losing the master encryption key, the…
My experience was I thought everyone was aphantasic and it was a misunderstanding of language. Then one day when I was 18 I went to the pub and played pool with/chatted up some girls for one of the first times. When I…
If you accept that drugs/trauma can cause altered states then can't you also accept that some people have the altered state as their default? Modern politeness encourages us to think of all humans as more or less the…
The majority of people don't reason themselves into anything, whether it's the mainstream view or the conspiracy. There's just a substantial bias where people assume all 'new knowledge' is wrong. Probably correct most…

I think people overlook the natural experience of Dunning-Kruger we all have. You think you are good at chess because you win against your neighbour, then eventually a class mate absolutely embarrasses you multiple…

The ABC are sadly incredibly biased. A recent, prominent example is [1] where they edited footage to make it look like a soldier was shooting at an innocent civilian. They then appointed a 40 year abc/sbs veteran to…
I hired a data engineer who was unable write a for loop in their primary language (python). The task was to write a simple sum of a list, but they had to convert the list to a pandas dataframe and then call some series…

In my workplace AI has more credibility than humans, so dropping a block of claude with attribution can be: - A way to convince others of your position. - A way to demonstrate that you did research (because experience…
Battlemage had the best perf/% and most the driver issues from Alchemist had been ironed out. Another generation or two of steady progress and intel have a big winner on their hands. Intel's foundry costs are probably…
