The 2nd amendment is the only constitutionally-guaranteed right these days. And that too only if you have the correct political views.

Tesla is the world’s largest meme stock. People stopped applying rational pricing models, and rationality in general, to it a lot time ago.

Disappointing TBH. I completely understand that the OpenAI offer was likely too good to pass up, and I would have done the same in his position, but I wager he is about to find out exactly why a company like OpenAI isn't able to execut

At this point this whole thing has to be a stealth marketing campaign by Apple right? Hordes of people buying new $600 Macs to jump in on the trend when a $3 VPS or $15 Pi Zero or $50 NUC or really any computer that can run a basic Linux se

Political party in power makes it an explicit goal to dismantle government agencies and privatize all regulations, safety, security, environmental protections. Chaos ensues. Average American - "This isn't about politics. Both side

Look around at the politics of the majority of countries on the planet. Voters being in pain doesn't mean they suddenly start making the right choice. Quite the opposite in fact. There's a long way to go on the path the USA is c

There are separate columns for 2 ADULTS (1 WORKING) and 2 ADULTS (BOTH WORKING). I think you are mixing up the two. And the non-working adult is taking care of children, so reducing childcare expenses.

It's crazy to me how big a gulf there is between the hype peddled by AI companies and the actual business they are running. We are building AGI. We are almost there. Half the world will be out of a job in a matter of years. We will hav

Free tiers for Claude and Gemini will also have ads soon. It's a matter of when, not if.

And yet Amazon spent a ton of time and money writing Firecracker from scratch for their workloads. Why is that?

1. Containers aren't a security boundary. Yes they can be used as such, but there is too much overhead (privilege vs unprivileged, figuring out granular capabilities, mount permissions, SELinux/AppArmor/Seccomp, gVisor) and t

Looking at the "Decide when to use fast mode", it seems the future they want is: - Long running autonomous agents and background tasks use regular processing. - "Human in the loop" scenarios use fast mode. Which makes pe

Tell claude to build a functional website using plain html and css and no frameworks and it'll do it in a second. Now try that with a junior dev.

Why don't they just spin off the company or sell it? Heroku is a well-established brand (despite Salesforce's best efforts) and there are still plenty of customers and hobbyists relying on it today. Its value to the parent company

by paxys 9mo ago
Heroku has been running in this mode for a long time. The only difference is they made it official.

by paxys 9mo ago
If any Heroku customer is reading this and not immediately going "we need to move off Heroku ASAP" all future problems are their own fault.

Regardless of the corporate structure DeepMind is a lot more than just another Alphabet subsidiary at this point considering Demis Hassabis is leading all of Google AI.

Waymo has been operating since 2004 (22 years ago), and replacing drivers on the road will take many more decades. Nothing is happening "overnight".

America was pretty "settled" when Italian immigrants showed up in the 1910s-20s. Or the millions of Germans in the late 1800s. Or the millions of British and Irish a generation before that. Not every white American has ancestors w

Immigrants account for ~98% of the American population.

As coding agents get "good enough" the next differentiator will be which one can complete a task in fewer tokens.

Half of them were probably opened yesterday during the Claude outage.

Hmm all leaks had said this would be Claude 5. Wonder if it was a last minute demotion due to performance. Would explain the few days' delay as well.

"Single 96GB Blackwell" is still $15K+ worth of hardware. You'd have to use it at full capacity for 5-10 years to break even when compared to "Max" plans from OpenAI/Anthropic/Google. And you'd stil

I will never understand these chronically online CEOs. Your company has given up its massive lead in AI and is falling further behind Google and Anthropic with every passing day and you have nothing better to do than fight ego battles with

Inference APIs are probably profitable, but I doubt the $20-$100 monthly plans are.

LOCAL models. No one is running Kimi 2.5 on their Macbook or RTX 4090.

> Reduce your expectations about speed and performance! Wildly understating this part. Even the best local models (ones you run on beefy 128GB+ RAM machines) get nowhere close to the sheer intelligence of Claude/Gemini/Codex.

While the author is wildly overstating things, I do think AI is striking at the heart of the SaaS problem, which is the business model of "pay us $10-100+ per employee per month in perpetuity or we will hold all your data and your comp
