Worse. I'm ok with most of it but let us get rid of the stupid rounded corners. Apple clearly does great HW and it does great systems. OTOH, its UI is faddish.

DigiKey itself only ships from Thief River Falls. But they also have direct shipping from European suppliers to European customers (Marketplace). So I'm just gonna guess that those parts had to have been shipped from a European supplie

It's 2025 and the simd operations in this aren't that obscure. So I wonder how close std::simd gets to the instrinsics' performance with clang and gcc.

We disagree. To reduce it to a few words, I think that you see policy (even if misguided policy) and I just see populism, entertainment if you will. I think the purpose of the article is to remind us what mercantilism is. But again, I don&#

Ok, Google can pay $1.2B to the CEO and key employees to get them to walk. The other $1.2B is for the Windsurf IP and it cannot go directly to the investors. It has to go through the company where it is first revenue and then an asset. Bu

The Librarian of Congress is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The President can fire the Librarian basically at will. There's no similar advice+consent language. So Trump fired Carla Hayden in May.

If current LLMs were perfect AGI then your lazy students and law clerks, they might even have a point. But you are setting the bar too high; LLMs are not perfect AGI. They hallucinate and you write bad prompts. Think of an LLM as more like

There is another variable. Find better companies to work for. If you don't think this is a unicorn, don't work for them. If this is another stablecoin startup leveraging quantum AI then you deserve what you get, cash comp or no.

This was just a preference cliff, plain+simple. Windsurf got paid maybe $3B for itself. But the investors and senior management got their cut first. How? Well, the preferences they negotiated. No one really knows how the game is played
