I watched a snippet of him on Les Fridmans podcast. Now, granted Fridman has kind of outed himself as a complete hack more recently. Watching those two wring their hands over whether GPT is 'conscious' cemented my opinion that thi

I could never understand how to go about guesstimating what snowflake would cost, their pricing abstraction feels like lunacy as an outsider.

The guaranteed 30 second as on stream load was the final straw for me. I used to wander around the music streamers channel but ended up with as much as time viewed as the actual streams.

Moreso, non-highly specialised use cases for optionals in this class of language are mostly commonly used around IO ops of some kind (DB, streams, messaging, API etc) so we're into "make sure there's no flies on the elephant

I'm surprised that this feels more verbose than libcinder, which already pushes beyond a lot of creative coder skill sets. I wonder if it does need another pass getting a DSL together or some abstraction toolkit to get it marrying up c

Ok here's the thing. I used to build PCs, and I'd tinker with linux distros on laptops. Things would be flakey, need maintenance and upgrading and that was fun. That's fine when you're laser focused on your career and ar

I have to say though that the music industry as a whole, whether pro creator or consumer, is a great example of a market where cost and value can become disconnected based on myth and hearsay. Having said that, I think part of the allure of

The true absurdity should have been the message but it got lost in the outcome. From what I remember they tried to sell Nailed to the wall for £300k explicitly stating it was £1 million in legal tender, but the gallery refused to buy it bec

I cautiously agree, the only point I'd make from my own perspective is that the other reference point for this would be Akka, which was/is a behemoth of boilerplate and torturous implementation, so it begs the question of whether

Define accurate? It's just like any other AI system, it returns results as a best effort proposition of accurate with a % confidence that doesn't map well to binary outcomes. So yes, it can be accurate. But there are scenarios whe

Slightly exaggerated numbers there, but how bad can a css selector really be to the client experience when it's likely based on today's UI dev trends that we're loading 3mb of react + other JS

It's the tech version of the US phenomenon of people believing they're 'temporarily broke'. If these issues are regulated now, what happens when it's their turn to be the millionaire startup CEO?

If he's willing to have the business fund it long term then fair enough honestly. But it seems like a weak strategy that isn't playing out well judging by the progress made over the 3 years so far.

You think it's air? It's economic, it's political and social influence, it's positioning yourself as the root in supply chains. All of the USs classic enemies are playing asymmetric war against you for a while now.
