Success begets success indeed. What did Ive's startup ship in its 6 years that's worth 6 billion dollars, other than it belonging to Ive?

The news pretty much confirm this - Apple wants to make iPhones in Brazil, EU and China negotiating to lower EV tariffs, etc.

This whole thing isn’t his idea. Trump is a hollow shell with an ill fitting suit - his entire policy is done by people like Bannon or Miller, and now Bessent, Musk and Miran

That’s a good thing for corporations, which has always been the key party line for the republicans. As long as the public is good paying higher prices, profits will grow

Iran can’t trade with the US, other than some pottery and crafts, which amount for a million/year tops. Same with Russia - it’s not on the tariffs list, but it doesn’t need to be anyway. It’s good shock value, gets everyone talking abo

I read somewhere that part of the rationale is preventing countries from using other countries as a way to bypass import taxes, which does make sense if your goal is to force everyone to negotiate. Although why putting some of the largest r

Most of these companies can simply move their business to a different country too. The only reason they stay in the US is due to the dollar dominance, which created stability to run a business for decades. If that goes away, what’s the poin

Plenty of celebrities & other rich people left. Just because you didn’t read it on Fox News, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. You can easily google and see. Trump already backpedaled on his tariffs a handful of times. I agree his strategy

Look up what happened when he tried to strongarm China in 2018. China simply switched their supplier to Brazil, and never fully returned as a buyer of the American product. Trump’s ship of fools is tossing the US to the sidelines of the glo

vision models are also faulty, and some times all paths are unhappy paths, so there's really no viable solution. Most of the times, swapping the model completely randomizes the problem space (unless you measure every single corner case

I don't recall the original version we used unfortunately :( in our case, the bump was actually from gpt-4-vision to gpt-4o (the use case required image interpretation) It got measurably better at both image cases and text-only cases

I don't have an accurate benchmark, but in my personal experience, gpt4o hallucinates substantially less than gpt4. We solved a ton of hallucination issues just by upgrading to it...

ironically or not, the best way to have LLMs be effective at writing valid code is when they work on microservices. Since the scope is smaller and the boundary is clear, tools like Cursor/Windsurf seem to make very few mistakes (compar
