By what metrics?

The simple answer is that they hire more than they fire. In a lot of cases they will fill a role immediately after they fire the last person who was in it. Average employee retention at companies like Amazon (both voluntary and forced) is r

Every large company is updating its standard layoffs announcement press release from "economic headwinds" to "AI".

The silly part is buying a $600 Mac mini when any $100 NUC or $50 raspberry pi or any cheap mini PC off of eBay will do the job exactly the same.

"AI can't grow corn." "Hey AI, draft an email asking someone to grow corn. See, AI can grow corn!" This project is neat in itself, sure, but I feel the author is wayyy missing the point of the original thought.

Late round investors at least have liquidation preference. It's the worst outcome for employees.

Apple had a chance to break Google's search monopoly, but they chose to take billions from them instead. Microsoft had a chance (well another chance, after they gave up IE's lead) to break up Google's browser monopoly, but th

You sure about that? Look up Visible, Mint Mobile, Total Wireless, US Mobile, Tello... Same carrier networks, same quality of service. You can even pay a bit extra for prioritized data and other fancy features. You can get basic unlimited p

Russia can barely hold its own in a war against a neighboring country 30x smaller than them. Do people really still think they are a threat on the global stage anymore? China, yes, but their tactic is economic rather than military. And they

See the recent news about Canada strengthening economic ties with China and welcoming them into their auto market. This wouldn’t have happened in a million years had it not been for US tariffs and hostilities towards Canada. America is trul

The risk is the same as it was a decade ago, and the decade before that. The startup will take over your life. You will pour every bit of time and money you have into it. You will lose your sanity. And it’s pretty much a guarantee that you

They get to make Astro -> Cloudflare the default publishing pipeline. Sure users may pick something else, but even if a small % stick with Cloudflare that's an overall win.

Remember the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, famously caused by passive investors buying CDOs through their Vanguard funds? Or the dotcom bubble? The great depression? Remember when passive investors were buying tulip ETFs in the 1600s? You

Neat. Similar to https://www.suncalc.org , which also lets you zoom to the neighborhood level. Very useful to figure out when/where sunlight will hit your house.

Owning the client gives them full control over which model to use for which query, prompt caching, rate limiting and lots more. So they can drive massive savings for the ~same output over just giving unrestricted access to the API.

While the subscription is definitely subsidized (technically cross-subsidized , because the subsidy is coming from users who pay but barely use it), Claude Code also does a ton of prompt caching that reduces LLM dependency. I have done man

Meh, if you want access to the API then pay for the API. It's as simple as that.

Companies have been trying that since the 90s, yet the quality of work done by offshore teams is consistently crap. Better to import the entire team to the US, pay them below average wages, make them work 80 hour weeks under the watchful ey
