Their legendary "goto fail" debacle as well as the ease with which ios has repeatedly been jailbroken would disagree. I think geohot once quipped: "My lawyer could write a better malloc."

I mean, we have been saying that exact thing for close to 30 years at this point. Yet, they are still around, they are still deeply embedded in most businesses, and no matter how much they screw up, it just keeps going.

> there's no good way to do LLM structured queries yet Because LLMs are inherently designed to interface with humans through natural language. Trying to graft a machine interface on top of that is simply the wrong approach, because

That's their choice, but they also choose to suffer the consequences. Expecting the world to cater to your needs specifically is such a typical boomer attitude and should no longer be tolerated.

It is simply false that it was Merkel who decided to shut down nuclear power plants. The decision had been made over a decade earlier. She just accelerated the plan in the end after a previous unsuccessful attempt at rolling back part of it

They wasted their first mover advantage by focussing on what amounts to building toys for consumers like Sora instead of actually useful products that go beyond simple chat bots. I think they are in serious trouble, especially with the size

The EU is really more middle-of-the-road in most things, while the US tends to be more extreme: more really good ideas, but also more really bad ideas. But that is also the result of the EU being largely controlled by bureaucrats and compli

Performance is really not Java's issue. Even bad Java code is still substantially faster than the bulk of modern software that is based on technologies like Python or JavaScript/Node.js.

They are not trying to buy developer goodwill, they are trying to catch up with Antrophic in terms of getting those B2B contracts, which is currently the most realistic path towards not running out of money.

More likely: "Can you believe they were actually trying to use LLMs for this?"

I don't know, occasionally there are some funny results. For instance, I have managed to get AWS' support bot to start smack talking their platform and criticising its often needlessly complex and sometimes incoherent design befor

They are solid and cheaper, but they don't offer the same level of control plane and API access as Hetzner that is really helpful when managing a larger number of servers.

I am very curios if OpenAI's IPO attempt this year will turn into WeWork 2.0 where all the air suddenly comes out of the valuation once the market acknowledges that they have no moat and lack a clear path to profitability that would ma

I think their main issue is that they seem to have no one who is seriously looking at the Matrix ecosystem from a product perspective. You have all of these pieces of technology in various states of maturity that more or less fit together i

They literally tried that strategy with Internet Explorer 6 a long time ago where they didn't really update it for years, only doing the bare minimum. The result was a downward spiral in market share that they were unable to stop once

Every time there is anything posted about Proton on HN, there is an immediate wave of super negative comments, none of which ever offer any arguments of substance. It's always just some vague allegations, and this has been the case for

The typical cycle of all technologies: 1) New technology comes out, people get excited 2) People start recognising the drawbacks of the technology 3) Someone else makes an improved version that claims to fix all of the issues. GOTO 1

At least until people - in a couple of years - figure out that the "Postgres for everything" fad was just as much of a bad idea as "MongoDB for everything" and "Put Redis into everything".

This really is a completely nonsensical article. The author is angry that his Spotify subscription becomes slightly more expensive, now running at EUR 12 per month instead of 11. So his solution is to instead rent a EUR 6.50 per month Hetzn
