You're not suggesting that Philip Morris and ExxonMobil didn't know the actual answers to both of those questions, surely? It's a known, easily verifiable fact that they did. They just lied about them.

That doesn't seem accurate at all. The big 3 Korean clouds used inside Korea are NHN Cloud, Naver Cloud and now KT. Which one of these is whitelabeled? And what's the source on Samsung SDI Cloud being the "largest Korean clou

Back in the 1980s, I'm sure Philip Morris' claimed similar numbers on cigarettes (not) causing cancer as R.J. Reynolds did. I also wouldn't be surprised if Aramco and Rosneft gave similar estimates on global warming and oil&#

For reference, this is based on figures given by Sam Altman, which are worth as much as going to random.org and asking it for a number between 0 and 100 to use as Wh per LLM query. Scratch that, the latter is probably more reliable.

You use parallel construction of course, that's how the state itself does it after all.

How is it different from smuggling fentanyl or taking hostages for ransom? There will always be someone willing to do the work if the pay is good enough. The former almost certainly causes much less societal damage than working for a pharma

What is your point, besides potentially making yourself feel better about your industry? Those "different degrees" are what it's all about. They're the whole point. Yes, voluntarily working in an industry where that &quo

It didn't poison us at all, it's meaningless. Not a single one among the millions of societally-damaging decisions made by companies in the pursuit of profit ever since that case, was made because of that case. A. It doesn't

Ding ding ding! If the EU had even the tiniest of balls, they would've accepted the US tariffs with open arms while applying equivalent ones on services at the same time. Glazing Trump during the announcement about how great of an idea

Cursor will soon be irrelevant. The one thing that it excels at is autocomplete, and that's ironically the one feature they bought out and integrated (Supermaven) instead of developing themselves, which sums it up quite well. It's

The most used opensource agentic coding model, Qwen 3 Coder, is completely missing from all the comparisons. That's what everyone who uses these models wants to compare it with. A missed opportunity.

This looks really good! Would immediately use it if it worked with Opencode. Qwen, GLM and Kimi are so fast and good nowadays that for many tasks they're the quicker option, while being much cheaper at the same time. Claude Code runs i
