this done well is a transformational thing, its just no one has been willing to invest yet, but the compute on a phone is now good enough to do most things most users do on desktop. I can easily see the future of personal computing being a

they're paying to aquire places where you can sell tokens at a markup, because the future is multiple base models that are good enough for most user tasks where user gateways play the base model providers off each other and capture a l

AGI can't really be a winner take all market. The 'reward' for general intelligence is infinite as a monopoly and it accelerates productivity. Not only is there infinite incentive to compete, but theres decreasing costs to. T

With stuff like this, they like the team that built it and want them on their side. If you believe the founders/team is the right group to deliver a core product 3b is nothing to get them onside.

its really far less cash than you think, if they make a central clearing house for digital ad sales and anoint a EU wide cloud leader, they have two trillion dollar companies in the next few years with little innovation needed. then use the

some of the largest scala codebases under active development make heavy use of this feature.

agreed, intuitively, referential transparency + strong types 'feels' like it should be the best ai programming language. and exhaustive pattern matching + result types should help as well pushing issues out of runtime.

I really like gleam, the vibes are 'right' for me in that its got a strong type system and a functional style. Coming from scala land, that feels natural. I think the author hit on a core challenge gleam will have to face, outside

you do the same thing with the llm, you have it describe the api of modules not related to your code and that in place of those segments of the code.

Maybe its just a function of growing up during the transition of physical software to advert/subscription software, but i love the advertising model. What google has done for the web; youtube, maps, gmail/gsuite, chromium/v8

Meta believes the dollars at the end of the AI race will be in walled gardens and prop data, not data centers and models. They are going to do everything they can to make sure no one uses the time that models and data centers are limiting f

Climate change is the byproduct of the desired outcome, energy. Advanced AI, if you buy Yuval's argument is the threat in and of itself. So Climate Change is a problem that can be 'solved' while the main goal is pursued. Thi

If you want all the dollars fine, but pretending you're doing us a favor is creepy.

I'd be confused by them choosing to not enter hte more lucrative business if they had the product to do so. The only way the current situation makes sense is if your last sentence is true, which is what i'm getting at. Either TPUs

This is the thing that makes no sense to me, if TPU's are even close to nvidia its a business worth as much as search. They could spend billions on just dx and get 100x that back on investment. The whole TPU line makes no sense to me,

Okay I really dont understand this, nvidia has a 3.4T market cap google has a 2.4T post run up, and its PE is like 38 vs 25 so its a higher multiple on the business too. It appears making the best AI chip is a better business than googles e

I think we're in the snapdragon age of AI for the next little bit, if you were around for early smartphones. Each company would either rush to get a phone out with the new snapdragon chip, or take their time to polish a release and hav

So the starting point is you want the JVM/Java interop, if you don't want the JVM find something else. From there you have Java, Scala, and Kotlin as primary choices. Up until 2020 java didn't have pattern matching or records

Scala is great, nearly all of its constructs were right and right early. Kotlin/Java catching up before it got popular kinda nixed its growth and at this point i dont see it being chosen for new projects. Gleams a nice one too if you w

Not for NYC. These brokers worked for the building owners to find renters. That used to be a thing before streeteasy. Post streeteasy, these guys were making 10-20k for letting you in an apartment and shrugging. The issue was LL's had
