You're right. I misread your comment as attached to a different thread.

The fact that you're likening a sparing few narrowly targeted tarrifs to capriciously applied illegal global tarrifs suggests you're not quite looking at things fairly.

by root_axis 2mo ago
Whether or not it's illegal is typically determined a few months after the act in question. Since 2024, SCOTUS has sided with Trump about 90% of the time, so most likely it's legal. Still, even if it's later determined to be

Because the model can output data in a manner optimized for training a new model, including outputs that were post-trained like RLHF and RLVR.

Same experience I have with bun in general. As an idea, it's the absolute best js runtime by a very large margin, but in terms of stability it's terrible and segfaults 20x as much as node (I base that number on newrelic telemetry)

Not really. Models that can run on a $250 card may be able to produce a decent word doc sometimes, but the fidelity of such models is so poor that it's no longer very attractive for general use on those types of tasks.

Doubtful for the same reasons. The frontier providers are working at a hardware scale that will make it impractical to undercut them. I wouldn't rule out the possibility completely, but it won't be very common.

by root_axis 3mo ago
My prediction is that hardware costs will make open source models impractical for the foreseeable future. Yes, tinkerers and enthusiasts will continue to make use of them, but frontier companies will maintain near total dominance because th

The "anti-Elon thinking" comes from the things Elon says and does.

He spent $300 million in cash (more than any individual donor in history) to help elect the current president.

Yeah, IMO they are just making stuff up. Even as explained what they're saying makes no sense. Ultimately, there needs to be some entrypoint into the client-side script, node has no built in way to serve source code it's type-stri

Why does it matter? Agent harnesses aren't doing anything that would make a compiled language more suitable than a scripting language.

Paypal earned 30b net revenue in 2025, without any specific numbers, it's a safe bet that high-risk merchants are at least several billion of that total. However, even if it were only in the hundred millions, there's no reason to

So your prediction is that Stripe will throw away billions for no reason based on your anecdotal experiences. I'll take the bet that you're totally wrong.
