This is why Nvidia is the most valuable company in the world. Ultimately all these investment rounds for LLM companies are just going to be spent on Nvidia products.

I think you should also lay some blame on Apple who have this shitty policy for app store subs. Apple makes it very easy for users but users should really be aware to never use that feature since it's hostile to creators. It's not

Most of the time I use caching it's to cut down on network round trips. If I'm fetching data on every end user request that only updates daily or weekly caching that's a no-brainer. Edge caching for content sites is also a no

I think the article doesn't really prove AI is the culprit but I think this other article disproves that offshoring is. If offshoring was the culprit why is it only affecting the most junior employees? I think the case is still open bu

Yeah I've seen the same sentiment from a few others as well. Inference likely is profitable. Training is incredibly expensive and will sometimes not yield positive results.

I'm seriously not getting something about the entire argument in this blog post. How does a 10% equity stake make Intel more stable? At best it props up the stock price for a minute. If Intel continues to founder, then what? Federal go

I get as much out of bluesky as I ever did from twitter. It may be honeymoon phase but since I mostly just follow experts, journalists and the like I see as much as I ever did. There's less silliness on there but definitely some and I

Heh, I've always done this. Maybe if every mobile dev made sure I could find text like I can in a browser I'd be less strident. But really, I need a very good reason to install stuff.

There's bound to be tradeoffs between scrappy open source communities and trillion dollar industry behemoths. The fact that it's this close of a call is pretty amazing. And really you can blame your bank for not making a usable mo

I make a point of never installing an app when there's a usable mobile site. Even if they prompt me to install every ten seconds.

BLS includes a household survey. It's not just based on payrolls. They aim to capture as much as possible about people with informal work or self-employment.

The methodology and data is all publicly available. Just go to bls.gov. https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cpi/ Every time I've seen someone talk about "real" inflation or unemployment they're j

Not really and none of the underlying data is hidden. Inflation can vary across regions and industries and durability. Things like food and energy are in a separate category because they can fluctuate very quickly based on exogenous factors

by tootie 1y ago
Likely very specious. Inflation is an emergent property. CPI is measured by looking at consumer prices which is pretty transparent. The underlying causes may be obscured and, in fact, we see a lot of debate on the causes but that is irrelev

Failure to make accurate predictions about the tech market is hardly evidence of grift. It's just really hard to do well. In areas that I'm most familiar with Gartner broadly comports with my own experience. It definitely favors e

I worked briefly on a Gartner (and Forrester) pitch for a services company. They do do an evaluation and you get to make your case. We had to compile case studies, highlight our competencies and the like. Put it in a deck and present it. Th

I honestly wonder how much they even believe their own hype. Altman is a world class circus barker for AI. I seriously doubt his sincerity about anything. Obviously Zuck is putting his money where his mouth is but idk how a data center the

As a non-obsessed Linux user I can scarcely notice the difference between different distros. Every place I've worked needed macs because we had to target iOS for at least some percentage of products.

I've lived in NYC since the mid-90s which was about the peak for crime so that's exactly what I'm commenting on. The police did some things better, but the dropping crime rates were not just local or even national, but global

The point of this entire thread is that Trump is unilaterally deploying the guard right now with no one else's approval or even consent.

Trump repeatedly said he didn't have the authority to call them.

For one I would not accept that trade off at all. But secondly it's exceedingly unlikely. Policing has barely any impact on crime rate. The governor of NYC deployed national guard to the subways and they stand around doing nothing. Pol

True. And in a few years we'll find out how much Trump has actually affected the nation's trajectory. His trade policy is an absolute 180 from GOP orthodoxy and members of his own party have mostly said "we'll do what th

Vance doesn't support tariffs except in his role as Trump's agent. Absolutely nobody in politics besides Trump thinks these tariffs are a good idea. It's not clear tariffs are actually going to reduce the deficit just because
