You can't be a feudal lord if you're forced to accept razor-thin margins (assuming they're positive at all) due to relentless competition

This doesn't make any sense. Americans wield guns against the government literally every day. Usually it's not very widespread or organized, but sometimes it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rebellion

You can't hike up the price on open-weight frontier models. It's a commodity.

This is the same faulty standard you constantly hear applied to self-driving cars, where human lives are also often at stake. You don't need the AI to be perfect. You just need it to be substantially better than the average human (whic

I've never heard anybody say anything like that when criticizing prop 13. It usually has more to do with housing prices and the fact that 2 people with the same home value should pay the same in property taxes. If you wanted to create

Companies that ignore everything besides their legacy cash cow tend to go downhill. I'm sure there are at least a few people at Apple who's main concern is marketing the Mac mini, and those people are highly definitely trying to c

This is only one aspect of "performance". glibc's allocator may be faster, but it also uses more memory. For a much more technical discussion, see https://github.com/sharkdp/fd/issues/710
