Most likely a fake figure.
Re:AI Made Me Homeless on Sunday November 01, 2026 @01:07AM (#50323096)
That $500k/year seems misleading, at best it's probably just revenue of his "mentorship" business at its peak.

At least I hope so, because honestly, if even after $500k/year you don't have enough savings to prevent you from being homeless, all that money was wasted on you.

Like I said, brigading botlike behavior.
Re:OpenAI raises less than half of $30B target on Saturday October 31, 2026 @12:58AM (#50313340)
It is the α's and Z's brigading in with their over-emotional shortsighted groupthink.
Re:OpenAI raises less than half of $30B target on Saturday October 31, 2026 @12:55AM (#50313323)
.. which will be the same you are paying today. Token prices are already above their operating costs.

If you're talking about free tiers, yes, that might change as marketing budgets will shrivel up.

The consumer-level services you've gotten used to will still exist no matter how hard the bubble bursts, if it ever does. Way too many players now.
Automated coding alone does not a complete service make. TCS, Wipro, et al aren't just software shops, they are service providers.
Re:US Suspends Visa Program for Tech Firms Including Microsoft on Thursday October 08, 2026 @12:58PM (#50008403)
Well, you can only offshore jobs complex up to a certain degree, not frontier talent or higher management. The O1 visa will likely still be in effect for them; what's getting rejected are worker-level visas.

Been using polars for over a year now, it is fantastic.

Doesn't Zen use the same UI stack?

From their README, it seems Helium is a fork of ungoogled-chromium.

You might want to revisit Firefox once again now that they have done another major redesign.
Re:Google ending ChromeOS support two years early on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @12:58PM (#49896455)
Old Chromebooks can still be salvaged by just installing Linux/FydeOS on them.

These new "googlebooks" (what a name), with their fancy gimmick chips, won't offer the same liberty.

Have you been living under a rock? The time when "public statements" used to work is long, long gone.
Re:When did Google get so f-ing weird? on Monday September 28, 2026 @09:53AM (#49877992)
Google with the `udm=14` URL identifier. You can set it as the default search engine on all browsers, including on mobile.
Re:Sublime Text Build 4213 on Monday September 21, 2026 @11:57PM (#49796642)
Are you kidding me!? You can have hundreds, even thousands of tabs of files of any size open in Np++, close without saving, and yet get back instantly on the same session when you start it up next time. Notepad++ is literally faster than Microsoft's own native Notepad, let alone Sublime Text. Even 50GB csv files open instantly in Np++.
Re:Sublime Text Build 4213 on Monday September 21, 2026 @01:43PM (#49790623)
>Sublime text is what notepad++ wished to be.

Nonsense statement, Notepad++ has always been superior in every metric

Re:Sublime Text Build 4213 on Monday September 21, 2026 @01:42PM (#49790603)
Sublime Text's implementation of LSP is the buggiest and clunkiest I have used in a text editor
...you'd be surprised, plenty of regular people actually want these things to happen. State is God for reliably the majority of the population of the world (seeing as the majority resides in China and South Asia).

What you suggesting goes against the foundational and existential code of the United States of America.

what the fuck is this some kind of an experimental troll LLM post?
Re:Don't be the out of touch Kung Fu master – John Carmack on Sunday September 13, 2026 @02:28PM (#49687082)
I mean.. I'd bet he has certainly made a lot more money since AI arrived than he did before

> The purpose of the various martial arts isn't just to win in a life-or-death brawl or murder people as efficiently as possible

That's a retroactively-applied justification to save the embarrassment for martial arts that don't make the cut for modern CQB.

Re:We Must Pace the Frontier on Sunday September 13, 2026 @04:00AM (#49681225)
That claim looks to be coming from the opposite of Occam's Razor. Them doing typical SV dirty plays is a lot more easier explanation than the straws you are grasping at.
Re:Google no longer provides direct URLs in search results on Saturday September 12, 2026 @06:31AM (#49670927)
...you.. do know classic Google Search is still an option, right? Just add `&udm=14` to the search URL.

Also Google AI mode is accessible on google.com/ai.

Compliance theater. Now they can get away without having to bother setting guardrails for child safety.
Re:Rust Is Tier-1 Language at Microsoft on Friday September 11, 2026 @12:17AM (#49653494)
MSVC always was the default backend for Windows platforms.
Strange, when office suites are the one software category most people are anticipating better AI integration for unlike everything else.

Nobody wants AI in browsers, but an AI that can make me the Powerpoint I want without me having to drag cumbersome items by hand? Yes please.

Re:GPT-6 Astra on Friday September 04, 2026 @05:04AM (#49562228)
Considering that frontier scientists and engineers in the US are currently taking home seven (or even eight, in some cases) figure salaries - pretty high, I'd reckon.
Re:GPT-6 Astra on Friday September 04, 2026 @12:28AM (#49560541)
Labor. Smart labor would be much cheaper I'd reckon in China than in the US.
