Well Apple has no excuse for this. They literally had a quarter trillion dollars sitting, they could had bought an entire ram manufacturing company along with its entire supply chain (sand included). The argument “the market cornered us” is

City planners need to rethink from scratch. Imagine how many parking spaces we would save if everything was drive through for trucks. Restaurants, office work, cinema, hospitals, schools etc And now with self driving, newborns can also have

Deadly for the rest. Not the owners. We need more trucks. Be the good guy in a truck.

Claude started becoming useful for my coding purposes after it hit version 4.6. After that sure some nice to have additions but I think if I had 4.6 sonnet & opus as open weights, I would not need something more. Having played a bit wit

That is a great idea actually. It would be awesome to be implemented like 2-3 years ago. Now I don't think it will work at global scale, since the world looks for any excuse to move away from American influence.

In the past it kinda worked out, because the code of OSS acted as the portfolio of the developers, who would get hired by big corps. (Today with LLMs you have no way of knowing who was the original author) We definitely do not pay enough fo

The great news is that India is at 75%, otherwise the price pressure for ipv4 addresses would be insane

I would love to stop paying AWS for public ipv4 addresses. But simply it is impossible to go full ipv6, as many of isps of the clients do not support it. Currently there is no pressure to the isps to move to ipv6. In fact the incentives are

Google bloat gave us transformers. Apple bloat gave us a usable touchscreen only, pocket computer (famously an entire org within Apple had developed an iPod-based approach that was competing with what was released) The leaps forward need bl

See these numbers I buy. 40k smells over engineering to me (or more likely a 3P salesman made a huge bonus after selling the architecture to tesco)

You motivated why they need a big database. Still unclear to me why they need 40k VMs and not just 100. Its ok for Amazon to do it since they paid for the physical machines anyway and they want to dogfood their AWS services, it does not mak

The US project prices are not just 3X the EU project prices. It’s just that the construction companies & consultancies overcharge. In the US the overhead is insane. From construction, to universities, to hospitals. Insane overheads ever

I imagine that cash registers have the cpu power of at least a cellphone and that they can store transactions over internet in the central company database.

Why a retailer needs 40k servers? What are they serving? To whom? What is wrong with system designers these days? Are they designing or just selling?

It’s such a waste for a company that has attracted the best talent, to just toss it. Getting the right people on the bus is the most difficult task on the world. And then these people end up in places that cannot utilize their full potentia

To calibrate the discussion, you can get 10GB/s Wifi 7 these days spending less than $200 on a router. No need to drill a single hole in your house/apartment. Ethernet is dead for home usage. I wish companies gave a damn, but no,

In the only way that matters. They will corner finite resources and land. Now if we are lucky and the owners are humans with a good heart (and not AI), maybe there is some room for some people (aka provide authentic experiences)

Why do we believe that AI (if indeed we achieve human level AI) will have different outcome than the means of production or capital? It’s a winner takes all situation. Very few will accumulate all of the wealth of world. This time it will b

Why read when you can get a clip explainer from a dancing dude/gal. A book takes days to finish. A YouTube video minutes. We need it in 9”. That is if the opening dance is good enough to commit to the next 7”.

Boobytrapping is illegal. Anthropic wanted to poison its customers on the suspicion of them misusing their services.
