If you have an evidence from their financial releases showing a correlation between AI usage and increased revenue I'd love to see it. Otherwise you're just making wild ass guesses. Edit: Also, historically Meta has been growing r

I completely agree with you. I pointed out replying to the same person that in the same report their ad impressions were up 20% and the price per ad was up 12%, which account for a huge amount chunk of that revenue increase. All I was sayin

I agree that you can't draw any conclusions about AI, but their revenue increased by 33% percent. That's just straight income before any taxes or costs are applied.

That means absolutely nothing in the context of this conversation. It says right in their release ad impressions are up almost 20% and cost per add is up 12%. Those two metrics alone account for most of the increase in their revenue. Absolu

This could have been once sentence long: "Our guiding principle is to make as much money as possible at the expense of absolutely everything and everyone on the planet" Of course, you could paste that into basically any corps miss

Yeah but nothing I said disputed that. Practically all languages have concurrency built on top of an inherently single threaded execution environment. The two standouts are Erlang based languages and Go. My point, coming from Python, was th

You're blending concepts. All parallelism is asynchronous, but not all "asynchrony" is parallel. I have to use Python as as an example since I don't have much experience with JavaScript, but when you're using asynci

I'm usually writing applications, not libraries, so it's a non-issue for me. I was talking about when writing from scratch.

In my experience people complain about it because they are coming from a blocking first mindset. They're trying to shoehorn async calls into an inherently synchronous structure. A while back I just started leaning in. I write a lot of

Welcome to the future. Anthropic is currently speed running it but this is what all LLM tools are going to look like in the next few years, once they turn the enshitification corner.

That's the pitch behind the Slate truck right? Just the basics to make it a functional vehicle and then you add only what you want.

Given that it's one Musk company giving a mountain of money to another, and the only numbers floating around regarding SpaceX seem like marketing fluff, I don't think any meaningful conclusions can be reached until we get some rea

Well can't argue with that lol But if by some tragedy you don't die young, your older self is gonna be pissed at younger you for costing him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Depreciation isn't the only thing that matters. R&D, manufacturing, maintenance, fuel, launch, support staff, and I'm sure there are countless others. I'm not saying they aren't profitable. I don't know, but it&

If you still believe that nonsense after all these years nothing I can say that'll change your mind. This is one of the all time greatest examples of "lying with facts". It's technically correct, the IRS absolutely singl

Holy crap, it's been a long time since I saw that dopey Obama/tea-party line. Fox News bullshit from the past seems down right quaint by today's standards

Given the massive costs on training, R&D, and infrastructure build out in addition to the fact that both Anthropic and OpenAI are burning money as quickly as they can raise it, the safe bet is on costs going up.

That's like saying driving for Uber is profitable if you only take into consideration gas mileage but ignore car maintenance, payments, insurance, and all the other costs associated with owning a car.

It's not gonna stay that way. Token cost is being massively subsidized right now. Prices will have to start increasing at some point.

With the way I've seen some companies run, I'm not so sure CEOs can lol. It's been interesting so far. The tough part for me is a the literature is all wrapped in "make your company more successful and profitable",

Use the Neovim extension for VScode. It requires you to have Neovim installed, but it works way better then the Vim extension since it passes commands to neovim instead of using emulation.
