If Apple knows it's been overpaying, you can be sure that they will leverage that in future negotiations.

Yes it did, but you are not your job. Your current state may be based on a fraud, but the fraud is not you.

Matt is a great guy to explain this kind of stuff. He's very helpful.

Tech companies have basically just milked advertising dollars from trad media, and centralized malls into websites. Now we have dystopian warehouses and cars driving all over. We get more, but we do less. We interact with more of the world,

Have you tried optimizing for MLX? It seems like a waste to have neural cores and not use them. I've often wondered why the hype around apple neural core when 99% of software doesn't use them.

Free is a pretty good deal if you can onboard 2 million users.

uhh isn't it basically free access to API if your apps are less than 2 million downloads?

I'm not sure if I trust the S&P 500. There are much better ways to build indices than the one they've built. People speak about "diversification" without truly understanding why they're diversifying or what the

Good. Financial grift needs to end. Passive investment has become slightly too passive. S&P saved us. We weren't so lucky when they were rating bonds before the GFC. Glad they seem to have grown some ethics and are not bending the

I think the main thing companies should try to understand is avoiding the use of 'claude -p'. I definitely have written a goal file, and then just ran claude in a loop over the goal in order to 'token max'... why not? I&

I would suggest you examine current harness memory persistence. Any reprimand you give your model will be remembered, in the same way a puppy that has a bad social experience will become more shy. They will not save you from every pitfall,

I think they have the capabilities to execute a well defined plan. If you truly don't believe that, then you I suspect any work you do as a programmer will not survive the coming changes.

It's not exactly what it is; they now model an incredibly complex markov process, and harnesses that control how that thinking is done. Is this any different than how a PM gets a programmer to work on a project? They think, then they d

I don't think LeCun is saying they won't be able to program. I think he says we won't hit AGI. Programming does not require AGI; it's a pretty specific skill! -- I think this article is COPE, if I'm being quite hone

Okay, but I think the realistic thing is * burns 18000 tokens thinking of the solution * outputs 1000 tokens of code So you can easily follow the 1000 tokens of code, and the 18000 tokens of thinking is you sitting around waiting for your

Isn't the thinking part the part that burns the tokens? You're just outputting tokens.

Unfortunately, if everyone goes down people are understanding. If just _you_ go down, then its oddly less forgiveable.

Yes; it wouldn't take so long if bills were simple, straightforward and easy to understand. Instead they're rubberband balls of horse traded, full of items that as you said someone has tried to 'sneak' in. I wish our par

It's sad that our government can't pass a bill without it being a katamari ball. One thing, discuss, vote. No "hey if we give you this, you give us this." just simple "do most of us agree on this?" level politi

Yep! Always helps when you have sweat equity or some clever idea. LBOs can have other formats. Take Debt, assign debt to part of the company, auction off arms, legs, kidneys of company to pay off debt... you're left with a shell of you

Anyone who is interested in how this sort of thing could work, or interested in how it has worked, could read the book "Barbarians at the Gate". ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarians_at_the_Gate ) This sor

I have a GC but it is about to expire this summer. If I apply for citizenship, can I still travel? Do I need to apply to extend my GC as well?

They would have been better off going freemium or ad-supported. Or 501(c)(3) ala wikipedia?
