The kind of arrogance this comment displays has ensured that I’ll try my best to never use Fivetran anywhere I work ever again.

You're referring to Balaji Srinivasan's startup, Earn, right? It was acquired by Coinbase and became Coinbase Earn, at which point Balaji became Coinbase's CTO, around 2018. I believe it's since been shut down.

And it would be completely incorrect in the context of modern software development tools, where the best in class are open-source and free.

No, you don’t get to decide that. Myself and many others have decided they liked this unified behavior just fine, while still preferring to code on macOS.

And what, you’re going to find them a new CTO? What kind of magical world do you live in where problems are solved by leaders resigning, instead of stepping up and taking accountability?

Are you referring to cursor or zed here as really good? It’s unclear to me as somebody that doesn’t regularly use either.

It’s a strict superset

Yeah I wonder why developers feel the need to auto install components…

There is no "environmental impact". Environmental impact comes from energy production, not energy usage. It's incoherent to argue others should tamper down their energy usage because most folks producing energy aren't do

You don't see how having perfect / idempotent memory of every single thing you've seen on your computer would be useful? Half my day on my computer revolves around trying to dig up info I've seen previously that I didn&#

Not all, but the vast majority yes, because nobody bothered styling links with CSS.

For anybody to take your comment seriously, you'd first have to actually explain how you get to your assumptions. Because most serious people reject your assumption that there's a genocide going on in Palestine right now.

I agree that it’s a bit of a sketchy thing to do, and potentially even illegal based on similar case law, but the commenter I responded to created an entire fake sequence of events that seems incredibly unlikely, when there’s a far simpler

They would create a voice in partnership with her? Not sure why you’re assuming it’s some insanely laborious process. It would obviously have been incredible marketing for them to actually get her on board.

Because it’s still great marketing to have Scarjo on board? That immediately returns positive ROI on the cost to hire her.

> They clearly thought it was close enough that they asked for permission, twice. You seem to be misunderstanding the situation here. They wanted ScarJo to voice their voice assistant, and she refused twice. They also independently creat

…yes. Which is why OP made the argument that this tool, which helps with fundamental performance, isn’t very useful for calculating an equity’s price target.

Yeah, same question here. Building pipelines for bridging LLMs and TTS and STT models with lower latency is fine and all, but when you compare to a natively multimodal model like GPT-4o it seems strictly inferior. The future is clearly voic

No, the people requiring a screenshot to include the time instead of just asking the user for an ID and time of error are the ones being silly. Have you ever heard of log filtering?

Not anymore. They switched to a centralized model under their new CEO.

They won’t save you if you’re a complete idiot, yes. Why did this guy think this was in any way a safe thing to do?

Their name change was unrelated to this. Somebody else owned a trademark for Lambda and sued them over it, so they were forced to change their name.
