You could never afford a hyperscaler size data center. You could always just buy a server and stick it into Colo. it’s just not totally the same thing

I don’t think the conclusion is right. Your org might still require enough React knowledge to keep you gainfully employed as a pure React dev but if all you did was changing some forms, this is now something pretty much anyone can do. The v

If I use an LLM for programming why would it need to update constantly. As soon as you could run a SOTA class model on let’s say the surely upcoming 1TB RAM MacStudio it is out there and can never be taken back. If that was my only venue to

I agree. When new programmers come from uni they sometimes barely did any programming. So at some time in their life they got to actually put in the time and learn how to be a competent developer. It is obviously great if you can do it on s

I think each company should pay a low rate on all money passing through. Let’s say 0.1 to 1%. Building huge pyramids of shell companies has probably no economic benefit and is mostly done to evade some regulation or taxes or liability. The

It is very strange that countries like Austria, Japan or Switzerland have some of the best rail systems in the world even though their bridge and tunnel requirements are huge. In the US building rail on any terrain seems to be more expensiv

Yeah the last one. The others would require 5x deal flow which LLMs might not help deliver at all. But the last one should exist for people if 10x is true. Not every client can have already fully price in LLM improvements, people have contr

You underestimate how hard people’s food preferences are. They are really locked into their set of brands for each item. Immigrants pay huge markups to just get the same brand of tomato paste or beans they know. These are some of the most c

Just as an aside I also think I am way more productive now but a really convincing datapoint would be someone who does project work and now has 5x the hourly rate they had last year. If there are not plenty of people like this, it cannot be

Sorry this makes zero sense. The low price of shipping comes from the huge size of ships. All these 100% sailing ventures are just so someone can sell you gourmet coffee with a nice story at outrageous prices

Also 220 is in the same ballpark as going to two movies as a family with snacks. Three would already be a stretch.

I really liked GitHub and I would also pay more for it, but that does not seem to be a priority. On safari the whole PR review is barely useable any longer because of bad performance without gaining any discoverable to me new features. Obvi

Very fittingly in German one can describe messing something up as vergurken. Which basically means to cucumber something, which I assume the good people at the university of tsatziki are very qualified to teach about.

In Austria at least you cannot even charge your car with properly priced electricity unless you have your own outlet. At some chargers it is more expensive to charge through the night (because of blocking fees over 4-5h) even though we basi

I think you are off by about 3 orders of magnitude as my Austrian flat need about 7MWh a year for heating and 3MWh of electricity. I could generate 24kWh per year on an indoor bicycle.

The industry tries to use generative tools for assets since forever. Textures, terrain, foliage and eventually even parametric human models. I don’t see transformers much different.

I should probably do that too. I once wrote an email that to me was just filled with impersonal information. The receiver was somebody I did not personally know. I later learned I made that person cry. Which I obviously did not intend. I di
