Do you think people at Merk or Pfizer or Disney don't care about what they work on?
127.
by wbl 4mo ago
Many of their franchises date back to that era and are incredibly valuable. It's like Disney caring about Steamboat Willey all those years.

Look up the local names for Tongue of the Ocean and you'll have even more gist for that mill.

The one man and the dog at the Carolina spinning factory earn far more than their equivalents in Birmingham.

I think you underestimate the price by a few orders of magnitude where it makes sense to pay a model instead of a human. If someone earning 200,000 a year gets replaced by paying 500 a day to Anthropic or OpenAI their employer comes out ahe

The B-52 has hands with the JASSM, ALCM, LRASM. No need to get close to pack a punch. Yeah a successor would likely be a LO blended wing body design, but the idea of cheap to operate big truck is fine.

Exactly!

Unix is completely inapplicable to this environment which is inherently managed and intraprocess. Why not send an object saying what you want instead of a plain C struct, or worse a bunch of ints? How do we handle ownership across these bou

Force me to click hundreds of buttons per release and I'm going to be disinclined to go through that. You wouldn't have a surgeon have to go hunting for the right tools.
