You could also use your common sense when these results were mentioned and realise anyone believing them was intellectually challenged

Sorry, but (especially in engineering) old tech depreciates and becomes irrelevant.

Can we stop using expressions such as “SPA monstrosity” when this “unbloated HMTL” website breaks copying links, the back button, the address bar, don’t cache ressources properly, etc etc

What planet? There’s billions out there too

Because there’s very little competitive advantages in programming languages (from a technical perspective)

> it's happened multiple times already. What happens is not immediate apocalypse where people riot and society breaks down; it's mass protests, shows of solidarity, people help each other out, etc What a bizarre interpretation.

I’d guess threat model is less “there is a zombie apocalypse” and more “you need to flee to another country”.

I hope Harari appreciators will one day realise that social constructs are real too

Ok but this very strong statement has literally nothing backing it

Like what’s your point really

This fallacious talking point is getting annoying.

"It’s profitable if you ignore cost of capital" I implore devs to watch any of the business 101 class they think they’re too smart for

And by tank a business you mean trying to increase revenues to stop losing 500 millions a year I guess

Yes they threw it all away when they could just have continued subsidising video games and losing millions every year

> Anthropic’s main mission is ethical. Strong FTX vibes. Also why aren’t they a little bit more transparent about the deal? Are they worried GPT-7 from the future is gonna travel back in time to stop them?

They are basically the only direct competitor to OA.

A new closed source programming language sounds like such a losing strategy. Looking at the Mojo examples it seems like some kind of a superset of Python with lower language features. So you get C like performances if you’re willing to mani

I don’t get why this story is so popular here. None of the technical details adds up. Multiple back and forth due to protocol handshakes and router delays would add enough latency to prevent any connection from happening at all if the timeo

Companies also have to pay for Microsoft Excel. Does it mean they don’t own their businesses?

Maybe you’d change your mind about affordability if you actually had to pay the externalities of your childlessness and didn’t hope to be subsidised by others

It’s interesting because while this is an extreme case of performance improvement, the ROI doesn’t seem amazing. "rewriting in another language reduced the number of servers by 95%" is hard to beat, but at the same time, this save
