This is an interesting analysis, but "are the costs of AI agents also rising exponentially is?" is a very bad question that this doesn't answer. What's rising exponentially is the price of the most ambitious thing cuttin

As blind as my belief that Asia exists, because I haven't personally navigated there. Hell, I've used electricity (using it right now), but I couldn't do the experiments you need to do to get myself to an 1850s level of under

If I do my python right, from 2010-2020 they grew by 2.5% annually, from 2020 to 2025, they grew headcount by 3.7% annually. After the layoffs, they'll apparently now have grown by 1.0% annually since 2020. So yes, from 2021 to 2023, t

Returning no results is going to be linear in any DFA or NFA based implementation, though. You go character by character, and confirm that there are no matches. It's only when you return multiple matches that the engines have a problem

Most of those meetings are pretty damn fluffy. No one goes back to their desk and does anything different because they've introduced new company values and the acronym is S.M.I.L.E. But this meeting is a course correction for how they&

Right, but if you say something essential in a meeting with 10 people and it has to percolate through five levels of management to reach the front-lines and gets watered down, that could be much more lost, even millions. Scale cuts both way

I think the most significant boundary is given by the question: "is there a plan to support new minor versions of Python?" It sounds like there is not. There may be non-zero maintenance work happening, but a project that only main

Don't put words in my mouth, don't say silly things. I'm well aware the color your skin matters a lot, but your passport also matters, especially at the border. You're better off with white skin and a US passport than wi
