Incredible. Hey Americans, Please just make sure when you let an AI decide to explode your own country and ruin your society, you leave the rest of the world intact, thanks

They mentioned before that they'd discontinue using your subscription in third party harness, as they are obviously subsiding your usage. You can always pay for Anthropic models through the API usage. That still works... but I wonder i

Love Justinguitar, but I disagree with this approach, this tells you very little how to actually play the guitar, just to know songs and train your ear and transcribing. The main takeway here is that to become an artist you need to get good

It is very, of course, if you compare it to Tesla, anything can look good. But if you compare to other companies with similar rev/profit numbers, you'll be amazed with how cheap they are. I don't believe Oracle has a wide moa

Try OpenCode or Kimi, they're mostly all the same thing We still have to see what Anthropic has cooked though

Check the Claude Code reddit. You aren't alone, people have been mass-canceling for the past weeks for the same reason. It's a good opportunity for people to try kimi and others, and now that soon we will have an agentic harness s

It's still a company worth $400B that makes $3B of profits and not even $20B of revenue. And full of debt from AI datacenters full of hardware with a 6 year depreciation cycle, possibly even lower depending on what NVidia releases next

We can't slow down. Executives want to see numbers go up, even if it's a vanity metric like LOC or PRs merged. It feels we're mostly building liabilities, rather than assets. Management will later grind us to fix it all, as t

Just focus on getting healthy again. You have a very challenging road ahead of you, and it's only about your health. Money, job and responsibilities can wait.

What you suggested is the best way in my opinion, but given what OP asked, I gave my answer.

America will just get behind even more as years pass behind Europe in terms of proper regulation of the digital economy, which benefits citizens instead of companies and rich billionaries. The reason is that europeans have nothing to win fr

Same. Also became a .net developer after almost 20 years of Ruby/Rails. Nowadays C# is anyways much more expressive than before. Meanwhile Ruby is still very slow. Not to mention how poorly maintained are most Rails projects. People ha

Americans are about to find out why data protection laws exist in the EU, and why even the government has to follow it. Nobody should have permission to query 70M Americans, it's a huge security flaw for the average citizen. But Pentag

That isn't true, if you run local models you'll also need to have to spend on operations. Maybe focus first on providing value and later you can optimize this setup.

Just add very hard high limits and add instrumentation so you can track it and re-evaluate it accordingly. This takes a couple of hours maximum at best.

The reason the PS2 was successful it was because it was very easy to unblock it and use pirated games. The Dreamcast wasn't as easy as I can remember.

Hi dude, sorry about this. Hope it is for the better. What you are feeling is absolutely natural. If you lost somebody in your life(parents, grandparents), which you shared a lot of time with and enjoyed sharing your upsides and downsides,

He was a prodigy, but I believe the average American would be surprised that almost all classes in China have a person like him, or even more. Raw IQ, analytical and rational minds are common there. His biggest talent though, I believe it&#

The people on your network are BS'ing about it. I do use all those tools, since from the very beginning when ChatGPT even wasn't widely available. If you are automating something that isn't high impact or important, sure just

Yes and no. Sunk cost. They are always balls deep, if it takes them 2 years to get a TSMC yield, with as much as demand it exists for high-end fabs, they could already easily get financing to already build even more capacity. Now they have

The 'bleeding-edge' of Software Engineering nowadays is: Use Cursor for business rules and things that are a bit more complex and you need to be engaged, iterating by talking with AI. Claude Code or agents for work that can be com

Signoz (invested by YC) is the cheaper alternative. They use OpenTelemetry and seems to work for basic scenarios well. Of course, it doesn't have the 293428492 features that Datadog has, but works well enough for the main APM use-case

You aren't saving the planet by purchasing a product from Apple. They are the kings of planned obsolescence and also have release cycles and marketing to make their customers over-consume. Marketing that seems to have worked with you.

That's where I disagree as well, the non-legendary non-multi-starter is also a crappy team as Pokémon isn't a rock paper scissor game since a long time. You'd need to take into account innate abilities, how to also understand

Meanwhile I like the optimization analysis, the initial assumptions are very wrong. I know the author mentioned that they are optimizing for stats + being resistant to other Pokémon types, but that analysis will lead to very bad results. Th

With that much revenue, maybe it's time to look into your ratios of payment processing method being used. For example, if 90% use Credit card, go with a simpler and cheaper payment provider and implement a mechanism that switches betwe

This is so obvious, have you seen how many GPUs does Singapore and the countries nearby are buying? They are still training with less than 1/10 of what the US companies do own, and yet having similar results. China is killing it.

It's easy to write that blogpost when you are in a position of a lot of privilege, in arguably the best software engineering company in the world, and got where you are surely for your competence, but also a high degree of luck. Some o
