It doesn't help that Coca-Cola has privileged access to decocainized flavor extract, from there, others are guaranteed to struggle to get access to one ingredient. The main flabbergasting stuff about Coca-Cola is the fact that they cho

Yes and that will be great. More competition = more choice = less political risk = great. Protectionism policies are blocking low prices (what about tariffs ? what about monopolies ?) and are benefiting only the ones holding the knowledge a

It could be that US would benefit from having a more generic GDPR law rather than individual enforcement.

It's quite logical that they cheat (and also other companies). During evaluation, benchmarks are sending their request to the backend of these companies. All these companies have to do, is to log these requests and "fix" them

Employees naturally jump from one company to another, and they know the secret sauce. The difference is in the dataset mostly and to extract this dataset, competitors use a process called distillation (= extract data through actual queries)

What a time, but at what cost ? Interestingly, these Wasm ports are all about nostalgia games. I sort-of wish we would live in 1998 (when HL1 was released). Less social network, a more creative internet, LAN parties, IRC / ICQ, easier

Private conversations of a teen have low value for FBI/NSA. They have infinite value to their parents. The state isn't going to ground them, shame them at dinner, out them, or pull them out of a relationship, punish them. Parents

They can't prevent the innovation, competition and engineering, but their lobbying makes sure that the Chinese competition doesn't enter the market, and if it does, with severe obstacles on the way. https://www.ibm.com&

From a privacy perspective, your objective is to stay away from people who have interest to snoop on your conversations. So from the perspective of your teen, they would benefit from using z.ai or ChatGPT or Claude, etc, rather than the loc

Think of it like if this: Novo Nordisk hired you to find a cure for obesity. - This is your full time job, and this is what you are paid for. The company also invests in a lab, in machines, in other employees, etc, so all of you together ca

Revenue is not a metric of success at all. Grabbing market-share if you have investors that are ready to burn cash infinetely. Find a hot niche, buy a banana 1 USD, sell it for 0.10 USD. Example: Cursor, they became popular because they wer

A little IPO is the solution. Don't we all want to (automatically) and passively invest in a company losing billions of dollars ? At least we can diversify our portfolio from SpaceX.

To me totally yes, even further, if they keep their existing route, over time people will stop using Anthropic. More and more specialized and ultra-performant chips are going to flood the consumer market. Especially once new hardware foundr
