Even if they don't "lose" their equity, it might just turn essentially worthless. Very often "equity" founding staff receives is in the form of (V)ESOP s = (virtual) employee stock options, or other equity grants th

Yes, they could be, but then you 100% rely on the client tools doing a good job doing that, which they aren't always good at, and they also have to reinvent the wheel on what are becoming essentially commodity features. E.g. one of the

Yeah, same here. My Switch is essentially a indie game console (~indish, e.g. Hades, Darkest Dungeon), as I didn't want to pay the absurd prices of the first party titles. With the Steam Deck coming out in the meantime, I'll likel

Yes, buying pre-founded companies is/was also a thing here. I think in Berlin there was quite a demand for that in the ~2017 crypto wave, where a lot of companies were being founded and at the same time notaries/district courts we

What GP outlined was opening up a limited liability company in Germany, which comes with more liability protections than alternative company types, but also more responsibilities, which if you offload them to e.g. an accountant results in a

I think one other point to consider in the content filtering: One of the first examples that was shown to me had in-video subtitles, which made the exercise too trivial, as the answers were essentially given away.

So what? That doesn't make the video itself bad (the "content" if you will). You could easily aim the same criticism at books and book titles and cover art, which by the same standards is in a constant state of sloppified tit

The author seems to make up their mind early on that "content creator" = "slop creator". I think there is a lot more use to the label than that, and the reason why some people in the space happily self-label as "con

If you watch the release video embedded in the post you can hear both part of the acceptance speech from the makers of Flow where they explicitly thank Blender, and also can also see a special oscar scene, which I assume the creators of Flo

The competition isn't self-hosting. If you can just pick a capable model from any provider inference just turns into a infrastructure/PaaS game -> The majority of the profits will be captured by the cloud providers.

That sounds about right. Of course depends on the workload, but e.g. when compiling Rust code, having a Apple M-series chip makes a huge difference. That alone would make it hard for me to consider switching to any non-Apple laptop. From pe

I think there is a good chance of the VC/Startup side of the bubble bursting. However, I think we will never go back to a time without using LLMs, given that you can run useful open-weights models on a local laptop.

I do usually include instructions in our READMEs to do a `uv sync` as install command, in order to separate error causes, and also to allow for bootstrapping the venv so that it's available for IDEs.

Here is your business justification: K8s / Helm charts have become the de-facto standard for packaging applications for on-premise deployments. If you choose any other deployment option on a setup/support contract, the supplier wi

And why would that require running AI models locally? You can be in essentially full control by using open source (/open weight) models (DeepSeek etc.) running on exchangable cloud providers that are as replaceable as your electricity

There is also a bias in the rating range of a city. E.g. in Berlin when looking to go out to eat I'd look for 4.5 and above as it uses quite a wide range for ratings, while e.g. in Rome most time I'd be happy with a 4.0. There are
