Yeah, you are using the wrong tool if you send your newsletter from a gmail account at that scale. You can get away with a few tens of people, perhaps a few hundreds. Above that threshold you should use tools like moosend, benchmarkemail, o

I believe they can't afford anymore to subsidize inference with VC money or that they are trying to get their balance sheet in order for an IPO. So they could be trying to tighten the thinking budget (to decrease tokens per request) or

I like this change. I was wondering if I would've preferred to have something on the function signature (eg `tcc_fn foo() ...` as in Tail Call Constrained fn) and when encountering that the rust compiler would make checks about whether

This is likely due to the fact that oil is up. These things are a bit sticky and transfer a bit of momentum to each other. If Oil goes the USD follow suits thanks to Petrodollar. This will happen until it's still easier to trade oil in

Maybe we give different meanings to the overinflation word. I see it as something that is speculative/shady in nature. Is housing overinflated? Probably in some places for sure because those who already have a house or invested in real

Isn't salary a proxy of how hard to replace one person or a group of persons is or how valuable they are? There was a surge in demand for SWEs and scarcity brought salaries up. Are them too high? Hell no. On average, my colleagues and

If I were to run the company potentially mostly focus on better products with the exception of firing those that don't adopt the technology. If it is a big company the answer is and will always be: whatever makes the stock price rise t

But what happens to the Astral team if OpenAI flops at the IPO or runs out of companies throwing billions at them? This is a bad thing IMHO

With my setup (GhosTTY, tmux, nvim) I don't have any problems honestly. When working with UI stuff I use rectangle to get a bit of the tiling behavior I was used to on i3, but nowadays I need that less and les because of browsers addin

Isn't it an age thing mostly? Younger admins hate Microsoft with a passion it seems to me. Or is just my circle of acquaintances?

Opt-in starting from 3.15, or am I mistaken? Anyway you can already try freethreaded builds that have the GIL disabled, but my experience is that most of your dependencies won't work.

Absolutely. Is about having people leave through attrition than pay severance and potentially get bad pr. Additionally, I wonder how many CxOs have corporate real estate in their investment portfolio which might influence decisions.

I agree. Also, we already tried to rely on the goodwill of the people and here we are with warming speeding up. We need some mechanism that penalizes polluters, benefits low emitters, and stops/limits/taxes/... worldwide ship

I am not sure how not directly linked to global warming. I am currently on the phone but I remember a study that mentioned that Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh would see a deadly heat (wet bulb temperatures) from basically 0 as it is right

I think linux and co do already a decent job. Even on K8s (so like at least another layer removed from the host OS) you can specify your topology preferences: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster&#x2

I don't know for certain, but moderators (on a company Discord) are likely random people in a 3rd world country that are payed peanuts and that is their only income. If higher ups tell them "I don't want to see the Microslop

You can do that with Onnx. You can graft the preprocessing layers to the actual model [1] and then serve that. Honestly, I already thought that ONNX (CPU at least) was already low level code and already very optimized. @Author - if you see

I find the nuclear motivation an excuse. I mean, enrichment plants or not, if Iran wants a few nukes I am pretty sure that Russia would part with some enriched material and smuggle it pretty easily to Iran. My theory is that Israel has dirt

I don't agree about the attrition bit. On paper you're right, but in reality while doing so you give the incentive to higher-ups to set in place measures that make the life of their underlings atrocious. Mandatory RTO for no clear

Yeah, I figure. The thing is that I have a mix of bonds and stocks. Bonds should remain stable or even rally a bit if a crash happens. I mean, usually governments cut interest rates in time of crisis, so existing bonds should go up. It is d

Fair enough and thank you for the comment. I went with a bit of Roche, Novartis, ... So something that would at least cushion the fall with dividends and not being in the GenAI crossfire since they definitely use AI/ML (I got them thro

I did. I moved to sovereign debt (not US), bonds and stocks of boring companies (staples, energy, medicine, ...) that have at least AA rating. Might miss out a few months of glamorous growth, but fuck that, it reached a point that just one

Oracle debt holders are sweating profusely right now I imagine. How does OpenAI gets 300B$ to pay Oracle [1] when nVidia has to be convinced to shell out "just" 30B for actually purchasing nVidia hardware. [1] https://w

If you search on YouTube for "carney walks out" or similar you'll see several videos with AI vibes (hard to tell at a superficial glance) about Carney interrupting crude oil exports or similar stuff. In the URL there's o

From my understanding (which is poor at best), the cache is about the separate parts of the input context. Once the LLM read a file the content of that file is cached (i.e. some representation that the LLM creates for that specific file, bu

Wouldn't this give more munitions to the lawsuit that Elon Musk opened against OpenAI? Edit (link for context): https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-17/musk-seek...

That's a really interesting tidbit. Thanks for sharing. And thinking about it it makes sense since the decision to pay the outrageous rates for an ad during the Superbowl must be driven by strong emotions (confidence or desperation). I
