valuation's are based on future returns, not current returns. If one believes they are growing and visa and mastercard aren't then the valuation might make a little more sense. (though I can't comment on the actualities, only

The problem is trust on most sites is attributed to account history, which is cheaper than ever with these reply-guy services. Twitter/Meta verified badges help, but IMHO the only solution is something invite-only like lobsters, where

I would imagine we are going to see a DO price increase soon, given the crazy costs of RAM and now storage. Given the usual life cycle of server hardware, they will need to start preparing their increases for the next cycle.

Grad students are incredibly cheap? In the UK for instance their stipend is £20,780 a year...

These sort of transparent answers are what make oxide and the people behind it such a fantastic company. Thank you for your wonderful contributions to the software and hardware community!

The usage limits on most 20 USD/month subs are becoming quite restrictive though. API pricing is more indicative of true cost.

It's not even that. It's way easier to do R&D when you don't have a customer base to support.

I think your forgetting that governments can just shut a company down, or even worse completely take it over and nationalise it. At the end of the day sovereigns rule over all else. Money means nothing when a gun is pointed at your head.

Whilst I won't comment on this specific person, one of the best programmers I've met has a law degree, so I wouldn't use their degree against them. People can have many interests and skills.

People do do it, but unless you work for a company you won't hear about their internal tools or products since they aren't selling them.

Yeh but in a company of 100 employees for software of 30k a year, it's more than worth it to take your standard 50k (GBP) dev and have them replaced it. It's a one time cost, and the support time will certainly be less than 50% of

no. High interest rates and a cautionary view of future economic growth are killing B2B SaaS. Money is no longer free, and so there is a bigger push for cost-cutting rather than growing your buisness with free money.

I was skepitcal upon hearing the figure but various sources do indeed back it up and [0] is a pretty interesting paper (old but still relevant human transcibers haven't changed in accuracy). [0] https://www.microsoft.com&#x2

No it adds up. The latest data [0] shows an average of 3.7 million a day on the subway. For comparison London on the underground has about 2.6 million a day [1]. Given the size of the cities and surrounding areas compared, these numbers see

You are correct that was my complaint. I'm glad your system is stable, I wish I could say the same of mine.

Well, the usual millionaires fleeing data for the Uk is the Henley & Partners report[0] (a wealth management firm, which is not a reputable source for these statistics, they simply want to attract clients, so its advertising). That repo

Depends on the company, but typical junior salaries are £35-45k a year, mid level around £50-65k year and senior somewhere between £65-85k a year. Obviously you have FAANG who pay significantly more and finance firms, but they are not the

Most live in flat-shares, which honestly I prefer to living alone anyway. You can easily find central London flat shares for £1000 a month which are walking distance to various central locations, and extremely quick by bus/bike/tu

In most northern countries like the UK, there is simply not enough UVB in the winter to make any Vitamin D through sunlight.

I mean, net millionares are massively up in the UK, not nearly as many left as are created, so it's not really a good case study there.

The class system is embedded within corporate structures. These management roles are simply a way for those higher up the class structure to extract money from the productive workers. You'll notice when nepotism happens and senior lead

I've forgotten where I've seen this now, but one of the best developers I've seen wrote code by writing it, deleting everything, then writing it again, sometimes many times in order to get their final code. I found it fascina

But it's reliability is bad? It doesn't crash as often as previous versions of windows sure, but instead ends up in various inoperable states that aren't fixed without restarting, which isn't really any better.

Yeh, it's an interesting project but the AI writing style was exhausting to read, and didn't fill me with confidence in the company.

I can't speak for the American universities, but remember there is no entrance exam for UK PhDs, you just require a 2:1 or 1st class bachelor's degree/masters (going straight without a masters is becoming more common) usually

The flavour citations in related work is the best place to launder citations.

Most publication venues already pay for a plagiarism detection service, it seems it would be trivial to add it on as a cost. Especially given APCs for journals are several thousand dollars, what's a few dollars more per paper.

Science relies on trust.. a lot. So things which show dishonesty are penalised greatly. If we were to remove trust then peer reviewing a paper might take months of work or even years.

Not certain which type of sensor it uses, but in any case painting it wouldn't fix it. The problem with a scratch is now it will register that as a fingerprint ridge, but it is in a fixed location, so theoretically if you re-register y

That's not quite how that works though. It can for example be possible that fine-tuning a model to avoid the styles described in the article cause the LLM to stop functionaing as well as it can. It might just be an artefact of the arch
