Not that it is particularly relevant to agentic coding but how can anyone truly argue streaming costs more? Average cable packages were exceeding 125-150 USD a month (in 2000 dollars). Under no circumstances would I be sympathetic to the ar

This is such a bad faith, and frankly dishonest take on the situation. As you know, Khan’s FTC worried it wouldn’t be able to prevent Amazon’s acquisition of iRobot in court, so instead it dragged out approval, which it never granted, while

This is spot on to my experience vibe coding. You can get pretty good scaffolding but tinkering with details is a nightmare. That is when you need to step in and take over yourself or you will burn all the time saved from the the scaffoldin

As a consumer I typed this into "Gemini". The behind the scenes model selection just adds confusion. If "AI" trust is the big barrier for widespread adoption to these products, Alphabet soup isn't the solution (pun

Can someone explain to me why California would believe Sam Altman plans to stay in California? This is a weak handshake agreement that could easily be flipped post IPO. The very flip from non-profit to IPO shows he will do what it takes for

Why would either of them die when they are some of the greatest tools ever invented and there is nothing better for the typical use case?

The real irony is that this article was clearly, edited and formatted by an LLM.

I'd give my left nut to buy into OpenAI at this valuation. 300B is peanuts compared to where it would trade publicly, FCF and net income be damned. The growth and the optionality are there when you bring a tool this valuable to the wor

But the point is you aren't a winner if you are unlocking social media. You are opening the gate to loserdom. I'm not sure how the I'm a winner concept would apply here using one of the four methods of operant conditioning. T

It is tough because if AI can take most jobs on here, the fallback is likely something physical like the trades. Id prob start rolling up small local HVAC companies as the founders retire. Robots are a long ways off and AI isn't automa

Notion? I hate it., but it does the job. I prefer just doing it in Excel, Google docs, Google sheets and notes depending on complexity of the project.

That is the point. Alberta has much to gain financially. Yes I have financial bias and so do all Albertans.

What nonsense are you on about? My company works in partnership with aboriginals. They are supportive of oil broadly speaking. It is one of the largest revenue sources for them.

Total nonsense. Political separation doesn't undue physical oil infrastructure. Crude would continue to flow as is, and trade deals would immediately be struck. Meanwhile, incremental pipeline capacity south would be rapidly approved w

Change is uncomfortable and scary, and AI represents a pretty seismic shift. It touches everything from jobs and creativity to ethics and control. There's also fatigue from the hype cycle, especially when some tools overpromise and und

When I worked as a quant in trading risk, we used MATLAB and I always questioned the reasoning behind it... thinking it was mostly just historical plus the slick IDE, but it also makes this kind of thing dead simple. Vectorized code is just

It really all depends on the business itself and it is hard to help you without know much more. B2C is too broad. Your getting to 100 users at 50/month is obviously a massive goal. let alone 500. 25k/month revenue is huge if this

"I'm skeptical about this VSCode fork commanding a $3 billion valuation".. Nothing to be skeptical about. The market has spoken. It was worth 3b to OpenAI. Companies arent worth a vague notion of what "value" someon

The street parlance in commodity trading tends to be more about where you are trading on the (time) curve on what is called “spot”. Ie. if you are buying near delivery (prompt month or inline) that’s often referred to as spot. But I’m tradi

It still blows my mind to this day. Every time I "purchase" a ship full of crude it blows my mind the level of infrastructure to make it happen. Maybe I'll load an Aframax full of 500kbbl or issue my crude buy plan in km3. I

Yeah I work for a large oil company. Companies like BP, Shell, Marathon, Valero etc all have oil traders/marketers doing refinery supply. There are also intermediaries like traders at midstream companies, producers (selling the oil), o

Pipeline and ship. We've done some rail in the past, but it is a last resort when basis spreads are wide. The oil is pumped off of ships or straight off the pipeline into our refinery tankage.
