Wow, good to know. Can you tell me what company you work for so I can make sure it's not part of my stack?

A 400k mortgage needs a new roof after 25 years. A data center needs its hardware completely replenished after 5 (or less).

Looks like StackOverflow was already declining by the time ChatGPT came out

Love that theatre

Actually, the group in question have repeatedly and vocally asked others to speak up when they see nonsense like this.

It depends on the application. Dissertation? Hell naw. Blog post? Absolutely, run it through that thing.

I bet the author submitted "to BBB-, one above junk" and an ignorant editor turned the minus into an em dash

Very cool, thanks!

ARR is best month times twelve, not revenue per year.

The Uber drivers created that value and should get those billions, not Travis Kalanick.

What's missing is that the billion-dollar value is based on the expectation of exploiting the employees/customers/environment to achieve profit in the future.

Luckily, billionaires don't have to worry about that.

That's why they're so keen to build out all these data centers; the massive capex is their only conceivable moat. Whether all those additional parameters actually make a competitive difference is still an open question.

Collecting rent maps exactly to that definition.

I don't mind ending the type of construction that's recently been occurring.

The payload yes, the exploit hopefully not.

Renters win, landlords lose. Seems like a win to me, idk

I mean, it's no SF, but Minneapolis definitely has an affordability problem. Every major city does.

Sure, when you kick out all the poor people, the city definitely does look richer.

This is a leadership failure. People who want to do a good job always get fired for taking too long.

The burden of proof is completely uncharted when it comes to LLMs. Burden of proof is assigned by court precedent, not the Copyright Act itself (in US law). Meaning, a court looking at a case like this could (should) see the use of an LLM trained on the copyrighted work as a distinguishing factor that shifts the burden to the defense. As a matter of public policy, it's not great if infringers can use the poor accountability properties of LLMs to hide from the consequences of illegally redistributing copyrighted works.

Got this kind of crap from multiple tickets I filed with GitHub

It's gotten ok now. Just spent a day with Claude for the first time in a while. Demanded strict TDD and implemented one test at a time. Might have been faster, hard to say for sure. Result was good.

This is exactly how I feel about engineers who dismiss Vim.

Let’s see it then

You can really track the progression of Krazam's career based on what videos he puts out

I'm quite sure that can be done, if you jack up the price and pare down requirements enough. The question is, would the result be useful.

Well deserved and badly needed venom*
