There are plenty of crappy family owned business that pay too little and expect too much. I don’t know if this is a public vs private company issue.

Are you aware for well over a decade US software engineers have been compensated many multiples compared to their counterparties outside of the US? 7% is around 280 employees. Just because companies are holding layoffs does not mean softwar

Like I said. Good luck with it. You’re most likely violating ToS and it’s always a game of cat and mouse.

What does this have to do with this thread? Go buy any other device then. My point is the doom and gloom is overblown, we have massively powerful devices already, no dark age is coming. This has no bearing on your perception of ownership of

Supply chain crunches are not unique or new. It happens. Earth is flooded with powerful smartphones, Mac’s are already on M5 generation. Most people already get most of their computing from their phone. We will be fine.

That’s right but depending on country there may be other legal requirements necessary so the costs tend to add up quickly and on average when you peak behind the curtains at an EU company you see it’s often easier to retain low performing m

You would be surprised. Don’t think about it as firing but also being overly cautious. If you run a division in the EU you are overly thoughtful for every single HC you add. You don’t take risks because that HC at minimum is going to cost a

Really depends on the type of job. Software? You are making bank in the US and partly because companies in the US can move quick because of their labor laws.

This is a tough problem because it’s not always great. There is a reason companies largely (not all!) think twice about innovation, hiring and building out new facilities in European countries and part of that are those labor laws. So you m

Reverse engineering APIs is just a recipe to get blocked sooner. Good luck!

I am not arguing for one over the other but that these e-bikes are motorcycles and I know from experience nobody actually enforces those rules.

by infecto 4mo ago
My anecdote only but the contraptions being sold as “e-bikes” are actually motorcycles. Like all things a few bad apples ruin it for everyone but in what I have seen it’s more than just a few bad apples. From maintained mountain bike trails

Maybe that’s just a naming problem then. But even if they called it “Ultra Max Super Pro,” I still wouldn’t assume it means access to every future capability, every internal tool, or every restricted model they ever build. To me, “Max” mean

OAI has definitely been doing KYC for a lot longer than Anthropic.

Why does paying for the max plan build the expectation that you get access to everything?

And the Chinese models rip IP just like everyone else before them. Your argument is moot. This was a problem for 5+ years ago. Nobody cares or at least the majority voice does not care across the world. Cat is out of the bag and there is no

That sounds too dire. My suspicion is building a model either as a derivative or brand new is a solved problem. There are indeed capital constraints today but would wager that over the horizon those go down. If one business is restricting a

Since when did US markets ever guarantee unlimited access to everyone. I don’t understand this line of thinking that has cropped up around AI companies.

by infecto 4mo ago
This is so similar to people arguing for plan tokens to be used with third party tools. It does not jive with my understanding of the world. Do people really expect that paying for a top plan actually gets you guaranteed access to everythin

Not sure why it would be so contentious. I simply provided a reference to the why instead of commenting with a joke, sarcasm or whatever you feel like calling it.

And it takes all of 30seconds to look up instead of posting sarcastic hyperbole that the company is trying to greenwash their product by name when it’s a 100 year old company name. Confusing as it may be for people like yourself, I don’t th

Quick search shows the reason is nothing to do with your sarcasm. Its origin is traced back to a 1929 company, Solar Aircraft Company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Turbines

Ehh to be clear even in the US certain markets like bonds are not always that transparent.

SPYis sp500 is it not? Why would they include it? For others like qqq it has no bearing to be frank. It follows the nasdaq 100. Maybe an argument that the extra few months would have allowed more price discovery but I am not so sure.

You don’t need to be rude. I never said it lacks appeal but I would say that more folks prefer to game online with friends.

No need to take that kind of tone. It’s condescending when you have not even defended your position beyond talking down to me. As I said elsewhere, it depends on driving culture and where you are located in the world. It’s not a hard and fa

Ok video games then. I am not sure video gaming in person in a group setting is popular with modern youth. Same outcome to me.
