Yes. Competitive forces would push the cost toward the most expensive input which is likely people. That would be somewhat muted if the supplier was sole source but even then outright purchases would put downward pressure on the rental pric

No idea why this was downvoted? That’s what the justices system tries to do.. find the truth. Missing or obfuscated evidence works against that.

Sounds like they're young. It gets way easier, and much more fun. Hang in there.

Yes, liberal unsafe code makes in Rust it arguably worse than writing it in a presumed-unsafe language.

That's not what "moat" means. Claude Code has a castle. A "moat" is meant to protect the castle from invaders. It would be things like high switching costs, proprietary formats, network effects, etc. that aren'

Jensen has a point. I believe these were trained and run on Huawei chips. The Nvidia embargo may backfire on American leadership as necessity gives way to invention.

Yeah, that makes more sense to me than "Anthropic had them over the barrel". Which seemed quite odd given the relative cash positions and installed base of each firm.

Internal dev tools, but the point I'm making relates to the discussion about choosing Gemini over Claude for their consumer-facing products.

I'm suspicious of that take from Mark Gurman. That's a lot of detail around pricing and "holding Apple over a barrel" as relates to the Siri deal that seems like a nice PR spin from Anthropic. Anthropic probably couldn&#

I wasn't blaming this issue on that in particular, just making an more general observation in line with the post. I'll make that clearer.

Though this outage may be more related to the copy.fail upgrade cycle, it reminds me of a thought I've had recently in respect of agents. In the UK they have this issue called "TV pickup" ( https://en.wikipedia.org&

These firms have enterprise relationships that dictate all of that. This is presumably just a frontend that takes the key as an input and plugs into that infrastructure.

The post exploded on LinkedIn and the repo is likely being starred by hundreds of vibe coders. It’s legit, but may have a lower signal value.

I had the same thought but if you chase down the definition of "Telemetry" as well as unilateral amendment rights pointed out in sibling comments, there's some broad authority implied.

Do you think this is endemic to large software organizations today, or are our needs (and the corresponding complexity) just outstripping the ability of old business models to address it?

Insane; and second place was sub-2:00 as well. Relegated to trivia questions for the next decade. It would be interesting to adjust this speed to account for the insane advancements in shoe technology over the last decade. Could it be as si

Serializing a document was non-trivial for the first two decades of personal computing. Auto-save would have destroyed performance.

I read two steps as a physical metaphor—i.e., it was following him closely—and not like a chess metaphor—I.e., two moves ahead.

No offense but all of those are near zero value except entertainment to the orchestrator. That’s without understanding the failure rate and modes. It’s telling that you haven’t yet given it your credit card.

My issues aren’t really with privacy so much as what the failure modes look like, and, more fundamentally, with becoming a passenger to my own life.

Yes, and that's because the workflow of those people generally requires managing a crazy, dynamic schedule including travel, meetings, comms, etc. Those folks need real humans with long-term memories and incentives to establish trust f

Yes, I can see the (potential) value in working with agents in software development. The “claw” movement I understood to suggest value in less constrained access to my inbox, personal messages, calendar etc like some sort of PA. It’s hard t

Is anyone finding value in these things other than VCs and thought leaders looking for clicks and “picks and shovels” folks? I just personally have zero interest in letting an AI into my comms and see no value there whatsoever. Probably neg

As a kid who was interested in stuff like this in the 90s, the ads were part of the enjoyment for me. You could look at components, have rounds-to-zero idea what they did but let your imagination soar at the possibility of stringing them to

That was a great promise before the models starting becoming "moody" due to their proprietors arbitrarily modifying their performance capabilities and defaults without transparency or recourse.

Yes! And music! What a social thing listening to a CD or watching MTV in someone's room used to be. Now it's just isolating.

This is great advice (that we need to follow) but needs to be updated for 2026. The information value of providing (or receiving) a demo has dropped to roughly zero with vibe coding. Today, an apparently functional and useful product can be
