I just _know_ there is a (probably fairly large) group of people at Anthropic trying very hard to not say "I told you so" today

It’s a supply and demand thing. Google would definitely be buying from nvidia and setting up themselves if nvidia had the capacity. SpaceX/xAi/musk are currently in a good market for “happening to own 100k cards we have nothing to

IIRC the large majority of their hardware (at least one tranche, they might have gotten more later) was Elon effectively stealing it from Tesla for xAI, saying “I’m personally doing Tesla a favor, since they can’t fully utilize it currently

The literal next line after your quote is: > While aliens who were inspected and admitted or paroled may request adjustment of status, as a general matter the discretionary approval of such a request is extraordinary given Congress’s int

It is absolutely NOT specific to the very limited situation you are describing, which is already a big red flag when processing applications.

There is no carve out in this memo that says it’s only for B1/B2. Or that K-1 is excluded. An entire visa class is not “obviously an exception”, or it would be clear.

These are great improvements, it's good to see Apple investing in improvements like this (especially with the Vision Pro) but I can't help but feel that they utility will remain very low until they make the Vision Pro look signifi

I completely agree with the outlook, but from a practical standpoint (in the last couple of years) I have seen the opposite. The SOC2 process is often transformative ("should" vs "is" are not the same thing). Especially

This whole story is just line after line of utter incompetence. The "after they were fired" sounds catchy, but isn't even the biggest failure. This organization shouldn't be permitted anywhere near government, or any non

Yes, that is clear. But in this particular instance the tanstack packages are downstream of a ton of other packages. Tanstack infected a bunch of other packages; then resolving their issue doesn’t fix the widespread issue

by nrmitchi 5mo ago
Appreciate the tanstack postmortem, however the security issue as far as the rest of the npm ecosystem goes is still an ongoing concern, correct? Is there evidence that any downstream packages that may have pulled/included tanstack pac

This actually seems rather generous of them? Not only are they offering credits equal the cost you paid, but they're offering refunds if you disagree. Anthropic not allowing Claiude Code subscriptions to be used with other projects isn

Im saying that Nvidia’s current monopoly isn’t going to last forever. The product space will (very likely) still exist, but in 10 years Nvidia may not be able to get the ~80% margins it currently does (due to competition, technological chan

You’re definitely right, but I don’t think the risk here is that the industry goes away, or that there isn’t demand for the same set of products. What I think is likely to go away is Nvidia’s monopoly in the space. When it does, Nvidia will

Nvidia seems to be operating more like a sovereign wealth fund than a traditional business. They have a very-in-demand product, that is not likely to last forever, and is getting their fingers in as many pies as possible with the money and

That's the thing; the order was not unclear. It very clear said what it said. The general public's opinion that it was grossly unjustified and most likely going to be rolled back does not change how clear the initial order was

A "White House Official" may be saying this now, but it is not what was in the EO that was actually signed. There were no exclusions for current holders, and the start date was explicitly September 21, 2025 (a date that does app

This is not true at all. Employers will still sponsor talent that they need. If you are sponsoring an employee for a visa and "it's a great thing they can't quit, it's the main thing that's keeping them here!",

It would still be required for the content producer (ie, the content-spam-farm) to label their content as such. The current approach is that the content served is the same for humans and agents (ie, a site serves consistent content regardle

My mental model is looking at all of these situations as pre-emptive aquihires. Meta can make 40 of these hires (over a number of years) and still be in a better place than feeling like they have to make a single $10B acquisition (if they c

Most non-tech people do not just use cloud services for their data. Really not sure where you got that from, but even if it was true, most non-tech people will still shy away from putting a 250G file in a cloud service once they get promp
