Which is why everybody buys tokens from Amazon or Microsoft or Google, not anthropic or OpenAI.

Because you already have your BI and mails on these providers.

Many companies are figuring this out.

DS 4.1 flash 1017 is June's sota at such low pricing it doesn't matter how many tokens you're using.

My mid size German client (100M revenue) is also moving lots of work to on premise LLMs.

I have no clue how do the lunatics think there's any moat in models.

All masculine names in Italian that end with -a come from Jews, old testament, with the exceptions of Enea and Nicola.

The other tech companies have such a thin and easy to vaporize moat too?

Because we're just waiting for the world to find out that they can spend 1/10th and get virtually the same results.

Open source models are now 1/100th in price per task of US sota from this summer...

So is SpaceX but markets don't care.

Also, anthropic has no real moat, LLMs are a commodity.

Another thing to add, eastern Europe has comparable talent to western one and US, but a smaller budget.

That made eastern Europeans excel in sciences that needed a smaller budget (e.g. electro chemistry is much cheaper than photonics).

It's not a mystery, artificial intelligence ranks opus exactly as 1/8 to 1/4th cheaper.

No they are not, why would you think that, they are bundling Gemini in their suite and millions of professionals use it as it's already part of their Gmail, docs, etc.

Literally all my non tech friends are writing Gemini gems or using notebooklm, with a minority on copilot.

Bing introduced it first!

Yes, by definition, they literally posted a loss this quarter.

That was already forecasted, but not that they were going so cash flow negative.

Because many have built a career and identity on the ability to write code. And confused it with engineering. So it's a hard to swallow pill.

I'm Italian too, you don't need any reason to fire, in fact you're not firing rather than not confirming during the waiver period.

Very complex naming is a feature in the entire monitor industry.

Remember when Microsoft was saying, in 2021-2022, that they were going to provide legal assistance to anybody contesting the license of Copilot-generated code?

I'm European, you can put in the contract a waiver period, it's generally between one and six months, depends on the role, but worker and company are protected from firing/leaving if they are not happy.

Technical interviews have always been silly and our is one of the very few industries where they were common practice, with take home assignments and multiple rounds.

Just hire fast and fire fast if it doesn't work. Less expensive and better success ratio than this silliness where you get the MIT-bred Leetcode ninja that ends up having negative value between his lack of productivity and terrible code.

> Unions still work?

Go ask major US port operators whose employees make astronomic figure and if you don't bend they block the country.

Unions worked in the pre-globalized world.

Once companies can just outsource anything from manufacturing to services the only categories that can really unionize with success are those that can de facto block everything at once (port workers are an example).

Since Windows 7, which was I think almost 20 years ago, I've seen a single BSOD.

I've seen more on MacOs/OSX in the same time frame.

The average human spends 100$ per month in food.

I think you're missing the point, while not a serious offense it is still an offense and tampering of the electoral process.

I find it always interesting that the Romans never reached modern Czechia or slovakia, even though they invaded Britain or went so far in the middle east.

Grading is a rather recent endeavor that spread after 1940s, unsurprisingly in the US.

The first experiments are from early 1800s, also in US.

For most of history universities were places you went to study and learn, not get a piece of paper to get better job prospects in the rat race.

I'm not aware of Chinese law, but I suspect that lying to the public or investors carries risks.

Why unfortunate?

I never liked grade based education.

Never promoted genuine learning but the ability to get grades.

It's saying that you'll do more work for the same $, but that's not anybody's experience with Kimi really.
