I'm not sure "average hours worked" is really a useful stat. At least I have trouble deriving any insight from it, it just mashes too many things into the same value. How much of the change is from the length of the typical w

For the market overall this is great: Bambu is forcing the other manufacturers to innovate on features, ease of use and affordability in order to keep up. At the same time Bambu's antics prevent them from completely dominating. Any new

Closer to 200C. But the gantry constraints movement, the 200C nozzle can only really touch its holder, the print bed, the filament and some metal or silicon cleaning surfaces. None of those are flamable at those temps. Maybe if it knocks it

What I like about profiling.tracing is how you can control it in the same code base that you are profiling. That turns tracing into a feature you can ship, not just a tool you can attach. Profiling.sampling doesn't seem to provide anyt

It might fit a niche between a forklift and a crane. Pick up large things and move them, with some of the versatility of the crane and mobility of a forklift. While being too big to fit in most places, and probably having a fraction of the

It starts with the words "As part of our continued collaboration with Anthropic" Once these words are used you can assume there is a contract stating how that collaboration works, and that this includes some sentences about how mu

There are three things happening simultaneously: 1st a new model, codenamed "Mythos", 2nd a lightweight harness built for finding vulnerabilities, and 3rd a push by Anthropic to collaborate with various Open Source projects and co

The comparison only really works for the West coast though. The East coast is dominated by continental climate carried over from the interior by the prevailing winds. Meanwhile Europe is surrounded by water on three sides, plus the Baltic a

Looking back at the amount of snowfall I saw as a kid and the amount of snowfall I see now in my 30s, or at the number of hot summer days ... I find it hard to claim that climate is not changing over a lifetime. 20 years isn't even a l

Back in the day it was reasonably common for CMSs and forums to only have an index.php, and routing entirely by query string (in form-urlencoded form, people were not savages). So you would have index.php?p=home and index.php?p=shop. Or ind

If it was two on-device generated UUIDs I could see a collision happening. There have been instances of cheap end devices not properly seeding their random number generators, leading to colliding "random" values. And cases of libr

If it's UUIDv4 and you validate that the UUID is valid and not conflicting I don't really see the issue with user-generated UUIDs. Being able to generate unique keys in an uncoordinated manner is the main selling point of UUIDs Su

Make up the lower margins by larger volume because you get much better market penetration. But you are right that this only works if you know the middle-men don't go to other model providers. That's where some kind of incubation p

I guess the argument is that a tool built by a company with actual insight into and focus for financial services, with Anthropic as inference provider, would lead to more adoption and more use of Anthropic models. Something Anthropic could
