I think the data for your last sentence does exist. When Apple was forced to replace broken batteries on the 12, lots of people opted to replace the phone and there was a corresponding drop in iPhone sales. It’s a pretty commonly used canon

This is kind of the tradeoff you need to make when launching a product though. You cleave off some of the product's margin & send it to a third party so that you can get the thing launched. If it's unsuccessful, that's fi

While that might be true, for as long as its name is “.cpp”, people are going to think it’s a C++ library and avoid it.

A16z’s owners have been fairly open about their societally unpalatable attitudes of late. Maybe they were always like that, just a bit more private about it in the past. In any case, their investment into this company just fits onto a trend

Assuming you’re not copy/pasting for these tasks. What’s the stack required to use local models for coding? I’ve got a capable enough machine to produce tokens slowly, but don’t understand how to connect that to the likes of VSCode or

This is a disappointing statistical modelling technique. The author asked LLMs to produce lists of data which are readily available on the likes of wikipedia. Author date of birth, list of publications, and publication release date are all

So, how does this work with source-available code, that’s still licensed as proprietary - or released under a license which requires attribution? If someone takes that code and pokes around on it with a free tier copilot account, GitHub wil

It’s not clear to me how GitHub would enforce the “we don’t use enterprise repos” stuff alongside “we will use free tier copilot for training”. A user can be a contributor to a private repository, but not have that repository owner organisa

The speed limit in London is at 20mph primarily due to safety, not emissions concerns. It takes approx 2x the distance to come to a complete stop from 30mph than it does from 20mph. For the majority of journeys in London, you're sittin

I don’t think anyone needs to compete with the LLM SOTA to get the benefits of these technologies on-device. Consumers don’t need a 100k context window oracle that knows everything about both T-Cells and the ancient Welsh Royal lineage. We

I think most people are conscious that, irrespective of a founders vision, company morals usually don't survive the MBA-inisation phase of a company's growth.

I disagree. I run a sudoku site. It’s completely static, and it gets a few tens of thousands of hits per day, as users only download the js bundle & a tiny html page. It costs me a rounding error on my monthly hosting to keep it running

A useful feature would be slow-mode which gets low cost compute on spot pricing. I’ll often kick off a process at the end of my day, or over lunch. I don’t need it to run immediately. I’d be fine if it just ran on their next otherwise-idle

Musk earns a $1tn payout when Tesla hits $8.5tn dollars. I expect the next step in this series of moves is to turn Tesla into a SPAC & have it acquire SpaceX, bringing its valuation nearer that 8.5t.

I'm not sure Claude Code is making enough for Apple to take notice & drastically alter their CLI like that? CC has 100-150k users across all platforms, paying $200-1200/yr each. Even if every developer is on the top tier Max p

This was quite a good article. It could have been excellent if it answered its own hook somewhere the piece though. I came away not having a resolution to the hook - violating the articles second principle.

In the uk, during interview, you can only be questioned for offences you’ve been arrested for. So it’s common to get over-arrested, and later charged with the serious crime rather than the minor ones. The overwhelming majority of people arr
