How can you compete when the algorithms are custom, individualized, and private? How would you even know that you should?

Not at the nationally owned chain grocery store, but at local establishments it’s certainly an issue and prices out longtime residents who don’t work in this industry. Rent prices push everything up in the local market. Housing rents impact

At the top end (say, top 100 tech companies) it’s pretty high indeed. Public companies, for sure, as otherwise their stock price would tank. It’s not uncommon in this industry to have margins above 70-80%. But there are thousands if not ten

Sure, but perception is reality and the executives will aim to realize this by throwing considerable amounts of capital behind it. Whether it’s achievable is really not known, yet.

AI allows executives to spend R&D to create a flywheel which builds more, faster, without hiring more. It makes every individual employee able to deliver more. ICs dislike this because it raises expectations and puts the spotlight on de

20 years ago was only 2006. The internet has been around for much longer. The first consumer focused ISPs launched in the early 90’s, 35 years ago, but CompuServe and others were providing access to chat and BBS’s in the 80s. I’d say nearly

20 hours is low in this category. The Sony XM6s are 30h, the Bose QCs are ~24h. Sennheisers can do 40-50h. All with ANC on, the numbers are slightly higher with ANC off.

Does that include R&D? Google is an AI _provider_, which is a considerably different profile in terms of spend from companies who are consumers. I would expect Google to be investing considerable resources to keep up with Anthropic and

If your test can deterministically result in a race condition 100% of the time, is that a race condition? Assuming that we're talking about a unit test here, and not a race condition detector (which are not foolproof).

Because the Tools model allows for finer grained security controls than just bash and pipe. Do you really want Claude doing `find | exec` instead of calling an API that’s designed to prevent damage?

Wow, it is really awful. This is such a pointless misstep given that Standard Notes has been around for years, was not vibe coded, is not an AI app - but this landing page makes me immediately assume it’s slop.

Yes - Anthropic _does_ incur business risk if their products are misused and this becomes a scandal. Legally the government may be in the clear to use the product, but that doesn’t mean Anthropic’s business is protected. Moral concerns asid

Neat. One issue I’ve encountered with lookup-based rules is the latency of updating the client’s name caches when records become stale. How do you handle that here, or does it need to be done in L7?
