> Props to them for making it this far into the crisis without raising prices. Yeah, it's a laudable miracle that this $4T+ company could survive this long without raising prices on such razor-thin margins.

I imagine they don't want to end up where the US is now. Edit: is reality too upsetting for folks? Hopefully nobody was asleep when American candidates ran on immigration policy, their constituents voted based on that, and we ended up

Mostly off-topic, but I've wondered, is there a measure of wealth that involves first liquidating everything? And what is that for Musk? I don't find it meaningful to say someone has a net worth of $X if they can't actually l

Okay, but if I may offer a suggestion: in the future, I would probably phrase what you said differently. I think it caused you trouble here not just with me but with other readers. Instead of "when the function cannot fulfill its contr

> Saying throw an exception and bubble up to main provides just about zero value. Might as well just call std::abort. Which is also something I would never do. I'm sorry but this is where you're clearly wrong. The whole point i

I think you missed my point. I was referring to the fact that some of these standard exceptions are very much a part of the contracts of their respective functions. In fact, that's their entire point. This directly contradicts what you

This is neither KYC nor would that be relevant even if it were. The whole point is you could get traceability without a credit check just fine.

> Exceptions aren't meant to report errors, just in general. That's a misuse of them. Exceptions are meant to be thrown when a contract cannot be fulfilled. Yes, you're unable to know what exceptions a function may throw.

> One of the problems with exceptions is it’s utterly impossible to know if a given function call can return exceptions and if so what they are. Could you please explain how exactly you know if a function might abort? And how you figure

That's nice but it's certainly not guaranteed by anything, just something provided by your toolchain or platform. ("Core dumps" aren't even a thing in C++.) If you're looking for implementation-specific guarant

> build a fort to deflect the random exceptions they'll throw at you Sounds like you hate exceptions, right? In which case why do you handle them at all? Just leave them all unhandled and suddenly every exception is a crash. Which i

This being evidence of an interesting new phenomenon is literally the entire premise of the blog post though. And it sure as hell didn't look like it was covered on the main news headlines; I know I only heard about it because of HN.

Are you including capex when you say "cost"? Or are you just looking at inference costs?

Whether you witness something or not is a function of a ton of other things too, so much that it makes your anecdotes useless if not actively harmful. For example, if you live somewhere where you use the highway more often, that sure as hec
