The point is that the cost of the road infrastructure isn't accounted for, not to mention the externality of having a half a million cars on the road to move 750k people. Rideshare is slipstreaming in the subsidized flow of cars.

That just means that Anthropic is fucked unless they get more capacity.

Superior architectures will leak pretty quickly via engineers. Withholding your best models doesn't work unless you have no competition.

google literally had two divisions doing ai research. It is (was) risk averse and had its hand forced by the runaway success of oai.

nobody has ever claimed that apple makes great cloud software, but all of their walled garden gate-keeping aside, they’re still the last bastion of mainstream local-first computing

Quality issues are a different vertical within the space of software/user misalignment. The sort of issue the author talks about is more like the malware of the 90-00s era: the software deliberately does something to screw the user.

presumably they were abused as line cooks or whatever and once they make sous chefs they become abusers. Similar dynamics exist in jail, in fraternities, etc.

maybe in the game of promising ludicrous things. There's no realistic plan to put compute in space.

It’s sitting at ~29 forward/trailing p/e which means that it’s likely to drop 30% if there’s a correction and even more if there’s a broader economic thing going on that causes ad spend to go down.

leading labs are going to be tightening the screws. Otherwise why not just run the entire company on a public cloud?

Accounting for inflation that's more like dropped by 75%. As AWS position as market leader erodes we'll likely see further drops.

That's not exactly true, they expanded the free tier from 1 to 100GB/mo (1TB/mo out of CloudFront) and dropped egress from ~20c/GB to ~9c/GB. This was due to pressure from the Bandwidth Alliance formed by all the ot

But it's true? How does an automaker that doesn't engage in those tactics compete when the rest of the market does?

is that a sustained 20TW? Absolutely crazy that we're generating 60kwh per person daily. Where does it all go?

A lot of endpoint protection products rely on SNI sniffing. E.g. Apple's network extensions filters look at TLS handshakes.

One thing that's happening is that attestation is being plumbed into the web itself. CloudFlare and Apple have a collab where Safari will inject tokens that let CF know that the request is coming from a blessed device. In a world where

I think that's where BEV and L4 autonomy comes in once it's commodified. Buses are huge in part because of having to amortize the driver and that makes them very crude. An autonomous mini-bus that can fit 10 people would fit more

I only need the garbage truck to do a run for me and a couple hundred others once a week. My Escalade is transporting me and maybe 1 other person on average 7 days a week.

No, these guys we seem to have funded and supported. We even helped a former AQ leader become the president of Syria.

Even vehicles that are largely the same as those we get here are banned from being brought in. All because Mercedes didn't like being undercut by gray market imports and lobbied the government.

Today's cars are a lot more similar in technology to those of the 1990s than they were to those of the 1950s.

I think if you look at e.g. Model 3 Performance it's not quite so hopeless. 80kwh packed into an EV roughly the same size, weight and performance as a contemporary BMW M3. Even with today's technology (0.2kwh/kg, 3-4 miles&#x
