GPT-5 is pretty decent nowadays, but Claude 4 Sonnet is superior in most cases. GPT beats it in cost and usable context window when something quite complex comes up to plan top-down.

Why would it flow to Switzerland? I believe VW headquarters are still in Germany.

Macs can run Windows just fine, through Parallels. It’s more efficient at doing so than most ARM based windows machines on sale still. And I found software compatibility with Windows 11 for ARM to be a non issue nowadays.

The main problem in this environment is IMO: how does a junior become a senior, or even a bad junior become a good junior. People aren't learning fundamentals anymore beyond what's taught, and all the rest of 'trade knowledge

Exactly the same has been said over and over again, ever since CUDA took off for scientific computing around 2010. I don’t really understand why 15 years later AMD still hasn’t been able to copy the recipy, and frankly it may be too late no

Let me throw another one out there: how about TeamCity on premise? Still can be done for free and the last time I used it (years ago) it left a very complete, stable and easy to use impression on me. Jenkins by comparison seems heavy and co

I will say that the last few people’s votes on this didn’t go our way, e.g. “Vorratsdatenspeicherung”, storing telecommunications data for the case of an injunction. It’s always easy to use FUD to get people to give up some rights they thin

I recently saw that Exascale, a Swiss provider, has something comparable, albeit afaik not autoscaling to the extent that Aurora is for example.

I don't agree with this assertion. Back in those days, most people in my friend group were using MSN Messenger. The steps to get onto that were probably easier than signing up for Facebook/Insta nowadays. The same was true for yah

Oh absolutely - and I‘m not too young to remember AltaVista at all. Eventually everything new on the internet turns to shit. But that doesn‘t change what I wrote: Right now, ChatGPT is gold. It‘s the Windows 3.0 with Google being OS/2.

All the ad tech in the world won’t matter if people have stopped using the medium those ads are displayed on top of by then. I think the way people use the web is about to change drastically.

When I look at current ChatGPT I honestly think that the gold has been found, and a significant amount of it is undermining Google’s home market, the presentation and aggregation of information on the web. Their product has become so much w

Have you given Season 2 a try? IMO it’s much improved and overall very entertaining, including to many Tolkien fans. I take it over the Hobbit films any day.

Yes, that was what I also wanted to point out here. As in, the set of novelties Soviets had over the West was at least non-zero. And that rocketry happened to be one may be surprising to some of those less informed about space technology.

Case in point: The reason why the US heavily relied on Soviet rocket engines for their launches for ~15 years (before SpaceX dominance) was because they were simply more advanced and cost effective. Material science apparently was a step ab

in a strange coincidence, SQL suffers from exactly the same issue due to select being before the from statement. I nevertheless still prefer list comprehensions over doing trivial things with map/reduce simply because it reads like mat

I think TSMC, ASML and ARM are making quite good money on the iPhone. And so did Samsung for a while before the Apple A4 came out.

I’d say it mainly needs persistence and good execution (library support). NVIDIA has co-developed CUDA with their hardware, and largely stayed compatible with it, since around 2009, and around 2012 it first started taking off in the HPC spa
