used elm between 2016-17. it taught me a lot of things - such as simplicity. when I ended up switching to react - redux was easy to pick up cz of elm. sadly the ecosystem never grew. but oh man elm is nice & the apps were performant.

it's under terms and conditions. Instacart is now an ad-company. so as almost every company now. ads are just too lucrative to pass up on if you sit on some rich data.

you know the pamphlets passed to soldiers before war. your article needs to be passed to engineers & I guess everyone before graduating college. in all the satire - what our industry forgot is - how did people build/fund companies

take time off - probably 3 months or more. Do things like working out, consuming art that are not related to development at all. for 1. don't mention anything - people get fired everyday B. or quit jobs. 2. if you're in Europe &am

you can't blame reddit honestly. or any of the other websites. the labs crawling for training content + agents have increased traffic 100x. increased costs yet monetization remains low. no wonder you see firms like Cloudflare proposing

TLDR: Alex Karp: Dario & Sama are overselling the value of frontier LLM models. Enterprises & GVT are not getting value - LLMs labs are a potential vulnerability layer as valuable enterprise data can be shared & used for trainin

unfortunately at big tech, this shit will keep happening. people who make it to managers tend to have bozo tendencies & are yes men. before it was lines of code, Jira tickets closed. Now it's tokens spent.

cz they didn't have gamers in charge but your MBA kind / seasoned execs like Phil Spencer. I bet you - if they had people like Facepunch [running independent studios] - then yeah Xbox would've been successful (they kinda alre

what Cloudflare & others pushing similar mechanisms - have forgotten one crucial detail ? Where is the "human" in all of this ? an agent doesn't consume content. & that's why content & advertising have worked

lack of nuance in human affairs - is what ends up killing these conversations & making them explosive.

why not buy one of those "a.i" desktop kits being sold by Nvidia/AMD and just connect to them via network ? to me that's cheaper than paying an LLM provider such as Anthropic spreading FUD around open weight models &

have you considered that maybe the "elites/beneficiaries of such laws" - would find it disadvantageous to teach systems thinking to the unwashed masses. an example look at how slavery is taught in the southern united states.

Bezos has something to say about this - which unfortunately has skipped over the whole industry. you only raise money to grow "cash flows". if you can turn $1 into $3 do it. otherwise don't. unfortunately SV tends to do the o

damn, never thought about this - but yeah this is where we are heading. open weight models - will be deemed too risky to be out in the open - since they can be abused by "bad actors" (unwashed masses)
