Why would you expect "future growth" from something that's literally making negative dollars? If you take a step back it makes zero sense.

Because they're doing the fancy equivalent of selling $20 bills for $15 and chirping about how high their revenue is. You, me, and everyone else could generate $inf revenue with that strategy, but that doesn't make it a viable bus

Interestingly, these are the exact rules they're working to overturn: currently, no matter how many stupid accounting tricks you pull off, you need to actually be profitable to be included in the S&P 500.

If the business process is fully AI-able, why wouldn't it just be implemented by the next AI in line? I'd argue the only companies to survive will be the ones with either a human input or a human output. Everything else is effec

Is it qualified at all? Or can you measure anything and multiply it through to get whatever number you want at the end? Along the lines of "in the 4.75 hours starting at 02:35 yesterday we collected invoices worth $X so our run-rate re

I suspect MS threatened them with a SmartScreen blackhole for the domain, I'm not surprised they pulled it.

LLMs don't have the capability to say they don't know, because they don't know what they know. They are, after all, just next-token-predictors. I just tried both queries with their same query format, just adding an "I Do

Imagine working for an organization where 1) cybersecurity is actually the #1 priority, ahead of "shareholder value" and all the other gobblygook, 2) you get to design systems where you actually have to assume that every other ent

Ultimately, you have to store the file somewhere and sync it to all the places you want it. The magic here is that it decouples the "password manager" and the "file syncer" so you can (and should) use whatever you'r

I've never seen this happen, because (as far as I can tell) all KeePassXC clients auto-save the file any time a change is made, and all the Nextcloud clients auto-sync as soon as the file changes. Keepass is also resilient to the under

KeePassXC has always been the one true path.

My KeePassXC database auto-syncs to my Nextcloud instance. Nextcloud client on PCs, Keepass2Android on my phone, and it's the same end result as Bitwarden but without the shenanigans.

I appreciate these comments, because they're a warning. If I'm on the fence about whether a link is worth a click-through or not, I'll have a peek at the comments first, and when I see something like this I don't bother

Has your AWS bill gone down in the last decade? Despite "efficiency" and chip improvements? Why would you expect text-generator-as-a-service to be any different?

And passwords. Shared secrets in general are a bad idea. If you're copy/pasting strings around to be used for authentication, you've done something wrong. Workload identities and passwordless auth are the one true path.

If tokens weren't being sold at a loss, Anthropic would be screaming about it from the rooftops. They've been desparately trying to make themselves not look like a money furnace lately, but it's not really working. They might

I'm very much enjoying how Anthropic is basically an anti-advertisement of how things will go if you try to run a company with text generators. The univerally-despised customer support, constant outages, hilarious bugs in CC, and now h

Little doubt the true motivation behind this is the advertising angle. What better way to advertise to consumers than seeing exactly what they're spending money on, historically and in near-realtime?

Good article. But it concludes with "Open models may be only 4–5 months behind on coding-heavy, benchmark-visible tasks... the gap is likely much larger and closer to 8 months." So, fine. In 2024, being 8 months behind was massive
