The initial set of prices on OpenRouter look pretty similar to Claude Sonnet 4, sadly.

I think there's enough people willing to pay Claude's token rates today, either via subscription or via proxy through e.g. Cursor, that they can effectively turn the "new model R&D cost" knob to whatever their financ

The nasdaq composite p/e at its peak during the dotcom bubble breached 200. Today we're at 40, and Nvidia alone is at 49. As much as everyone wants this to be a bubble: it isn't. ChatGPT was the fastest "thing" in h

My complaint with tailwind is that it doesn't do a good job of working well with components. E.g. if I have a component that wants to set a default background color for a button, but makes it customizable, I might think to do something

There's a lot of people, including oftentimes the tailwind dev(s?) themself, who view Tailwind as a replacement for both CSS and Components. I think this is an L take. Tailwind is a solid replacement for 99% of the CSS you'll have

Theranos peaked at ~800 employees, FYI. Reason 1: Because any company with one individual who leverages AI to achieve a billion dollar valuation would trivially & obviously be more valuable and be able to achieve more if they had two

Yeah; there's still a massive chasm between "I spent hours precisely defining my requirements for this greenfield application with no users and the AI one-shot it" and "million line twenty team enterprise SaaS hellscale

Well, the blog post is called "the HALO effect", which isn't even the same as that wikipedia page, but even if it were, the proposed nomenclature is simply a HALO deal or HALO acquisition, which is very different from the blo

IMO: The people who are obsessed with Claude Code are the people who weren't really engineers to begin with. For them, any level of productivity is "extremely impressive" and "going to kill engineering jobs" because

If you have a GPU which you've used for AI training, but that's no longer valuable, you could sell that GPU; but then you'd incur taxable revenue. If you destroy the GPU, you can write it off as a loss, which reduces your tax

The reality is, anyone who has suggested that a ban on highly-appetizing flavors of nicotine pouches would be an effective deterrent to accidental underage consumption, has very clearly never tasted any of these products. Many of the candy

Kids also regularly ingest large volumes of flinstone multivitamins and melatonin gummies. Does that change your position on the health and safety of these supplements? Should our nanny-state ban those too? I'll stop you right there, b

by 827a 1y ago
No, they took the stance that this crusade against good flavors should specifically and only apply to Juul. Maybe deservedly given Juul's behavior in marketing to teenagers. Today, you can go to gas stations in most states and buy Cher

Yeah, schools being out explains the major drop in ChromeOS devices; check out Radar's 12 month view and how ChromeOS data looked August/September 2024. But if it significantly explained the rise in other percentages, we'd se

1. Radar is also reporting a Linux increase over the past month: 3.3% to 4.4%. 2. Both StatsCounter and Radar break out Linux and ChromeOS; if you combine them, StatsCounter hits 7.7%; Radar hits 6.3%. 3. That being said: Both StatsCounter

For sure; similarly, when someone showed me Prettier many years ago, I immediately understood its value. This will save significant time every year I previously spent manually formatting my code and having arguments with other engineers abo

I really appreciate this take. High level programming languages should be able to do much that LLMs can do when it comes to natural language expression of ideas into computing behavior, but with the extreme advantage of 100% predictable exe

One thing we're seeing in the software engineering agent space right now is how many people are angry with Cursor [1], and now Claude Code [2] (just picked a couple examples; you can browse around these subreddits and see tons of compl

Does anyone actually use Windsurf? I know a ton of people on Cursor, Cline, Roo, Claude Code... but zero people in my engineering circles have even mentioned trying Windsurf.

Yeah; Law Enforcement & the Judiciary is going to be an early flashpoint in the "a computer must never make a management decision" conflict. IMO: Its actually really important that these systems do not explicitly mark content

But isn't harm minimization a thing? That's something we practice in other domains, like providing clean needles to drug addicts. After all, if drug use is harmful to the people doing drugs, then it should be illegal. So; making t

Fine, then ATF Class 3 licenses, which are required to keep and bear some kinds of arms, are a breach of the 2A similar to how the 1A is being breached here.

The difference is, his stagnant competition in the AI space is way, way less stagnant than Boeing and Ford. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are not stagnant; they're the hottest companies out there paying million dollar salaries.

by 827a 1y ago
The other thing that would scare me: What percentage of Anthropic's revenue comes from Anysphere/Cursor? Think about that for a second: Given that we know Cursor is on a nine-figure ARR now, the intrinsic value in being the "
