Sorry to hear that. Props to you for keep on going!

Why is that concerning? The VCs job is to sell to the bigger fool. They are going to pump that narrative for years, so that they can make some exits. Regardless of underlying realism.

It looks like an emoji for someone getting bashed in the head with a long stick. So that makes sense?

We know that learning and building mental capabilities require effort over time. We know that when people have not been applying/practicing programming for years, their skills have atrophied. I think a good default expectation is that

They have started. Their strategy is just for others to build it on top of their platform. And not build one, but hundreds of businesses. Much faster way to grow. Why retain 100+ internal product/integration teams when you can have 100

Every actor making codecs is trying to pull off an MP3, so that they extract rents from everyone else via licensing. They carpet bomb the field with patents to prevent free codecs from succeeding. aptX is an example of an non-free codec mad

This should not be used to conclude on the viability of using MicroPython for numeric type tasks. For that one should at least take into account the following: Integers are much faster than floats (floats involve a pointer and a heap alloca

Above average people can also use it to get average results. Which can actually be useful. For many tasks and usecases, the good enough threshold can actually be quite low.

There is a hack for that: write the comments before and/or as you write the code. When things are still unclear, weird. Of course do a final pass on them to ensure that they are correct and useful in the end. This is one example of doc

Norway is currently building very little new power generation at all, unfortunately. NIMBYism is blocking onshore wind, ecological concerns blocking hydro. This has already started hurting, and is projected to get worse. Before taking any A

If so, the conclusion wrt AI remains the same - one cannot expect improved learning outcomes from investing in it.

The wealth tax in itself probably does not explain the issues you see. They are more likely related to the global increases in interests. Now the recently introduced exit tax has some serious problems, in that is has triggered and exodus bo

Print in TPU? There is a limit to how soft one can get, and the finish is not so great (stringing). But fantastic for very tough semi-soft functional objects. Ninjaflex Cheetah and Armadillo are my favorites, but generic TPU also works. Dir

If enough people believe it is true and act on this belief, it will become true (to a larger degree, at least). There is a massive shift of the direction of money happening right now, away from workers into "AI" (LLM based syste

Yeah it's partly a "this is the inevitable winning team" - join before it is too late. The earlier the better! There are some parallels to how MLM and ponzi schemes are sold.

Another aspect is for distraction. OpenAI for example have had periods where they talked a lot on existential risk (humanity is doomed due to AI overloads, yadda yadda). This can serve as a very useful distraction to avoid talk about more p

One of the ways it can work is that people may reject the most extreme case (say end of humans beings in control), but accept some milder version (most jobs will be done by AI, or most jobs will be AI assisted). The fear of an extreme can c

Why would the makers do that? The version which panders to the user will likely sell better.

They could be be playing into such a narrative, even though they have different motivations. Certainly Altman has had a few moments where he is saying "this stuff is getting so good it is society-scale dangerous". His motivations

I do not think they are aiming to be cashflow positive now. That might not be possible. Though if it is within range they might want to go for it. Because the stamina needed to win this race is going to be immense. Especially since OpenAI i

That just gives your team another thing to do, trying to police a ToS clause. And one would have to define abuse somehow, which is quite tricky. There are a lot of guite legitimate but expensive ways to use such a general thing as LLM compu

Investors love MRR/ARR, so I do not think we will see that as the main option anytime soon. That said, you can use the Claude API to get usage-based billing.
