A companies with thousands of engineers should simply go native. Write once, deploy everywhere like React Native mainly benefits small teams and startups who are okay with building 90/10 solutions. At the shopify's scale, they wou

I've stopped using Spotify for 2 years now. What I've realized is that Spotify is great for discovering new songs. But I'm a grown up and listen to the same hundreds of songs every day anyway. No need to keep paying the taxes

These are public areas. It's not spying. Almost every house in my neighborhood has 1-2 cameras pointing around their houses. When there's an issue, my neighbors share the footages with the group, and that's so useful. And I l

The kind where the author hates the omarchy creator, so every issue is a world-ending issue.

Because many people agree with having cameras to help reduce/monitor crimes. From their views, the right isn't trampled. It's a win

What a failure. Only be able to afford a giant painting. A truly successful person should've been able to afford a football-stadium-sized painting.

That's true. By any standard, Facebook is very much a failure.

OpenAI-Anthropic is similar to Twitter-Facebook. Twitter was full of dramas at the exec and founder level, and that impacted their execution. Facebook had strong leadership, was very focused, and executed well.

I am sure my country's economy sucks. But then nobody really screams apocalypse. But, in US, people are so alarmed about US' economy collapsing.

Can somebody explain what this means exactly? Why do they need to pay it back? If they pay it back, then what will happen? I'm from a developing country. My country is objectively much worse than US in every aspect. My country doesn&#x

Actually, increasing the fees will lead to more expensive in-game products. Higher price = higher barrier will reduce the number of players. Therefore, this is opposite of praying on the kids.

Your story is an extremely typical one. It's even worse at older tech companies like Google, Oracle, Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM. Yet these companies are doing well by any standard. Sure, IBM is bad but it's still a $100B company.

Anyone who joins Anthropic at the 800 valuation is probably less about money. If it is about money, they would try to buy low, not buy high like this.

I don't think it's bad if the mandate of that funding is to have open-weights.

I don't think it's that difficult. Their servers are stateless too. S3 is easy to migrate. Database is more difficult, but tons of people have done it successfully.... meanwhile people who host their own LLMs are relatively small

It's the same argument why Google isn't never considered a monopoly to the online ads space. Because the whole ads industry is much larger. Same thing with card payments. There are online card payments and in-store card payments a

The same business model that Deepseek is using. Open-source models + services. This is more attractive because it doesn't lock in the vendors. If I grow larger, I can decide to deploy the open-source models.
