Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

The quality of their software is such crap and this is probably just some vibe coding mishap. Go read the Github issues for Codex CLI for example -- robots talking past other robots. I am 99.9% certain not a single human being has a deep understanding of what is going on with the Codex app anymore.

Eh, this analogy really falls flat. The “stack” in this case has existed for hundreds of years, takes at least twenty years to master, and the best people started working with it when they were perhaps seven. It’s a bit different than Rails falling out of fashion.

True 40 years ago, not so much any more.

One man's laziness is another man's leisure time. I'd much rather have an extra hour to spend with my kids, read a book, exercise, or really do just about anything else, versus get in my car and fight traffic and parking to go retrieve a bag of food.

“Ole Bielfeldt’s winning image embodies what makes Nikon Small World so powerful…”

PR speak is so awful. You made it a whole seven words without talking about yourself, congratulations.

Yeesh that is creepy.

Because then they can't sell you their overpriced 27" screen.

Whereas OpenAI and Anthropic…

Tbf that wasn’t such an outrageous proposition until about ~6 months ago.

Man "Even more Siri" is not the headline feature I was hoping for.

Less than the countless hours thousands of mathematicians spent over the course of decades unsuccessfully attacking these problems...?

Isn't it possible that all of the integers that have been or will ever be encountered, anywhere, any time, in human history, number less than 2^182? In which case you could argue that integer multiplication is O(1) via LUT :)

Open models are 12 months behind frontier models. What companies spent $11 billion on last quarter they will be able to get at cost in a year. Meanwhile Anthropic is losing $40+ billion a year. I just don’t see how this ends well for them.

Turns out it’s very difficult to make a philosophical case for morality without presupposing the existence of a God.

Technology != company. The tech is here to stay but we still don’t have an example of a company that has figured out how to make a profit off of it. That will come, and it might be OpenAI or Anthropic that does it … but it might not.

What's the point of NA Radler when regular Radler is already in the 1-2% range?

You're just describing normal aging though. People have been experiencing this (particularly #2) since time immemorial. The question is why young people are not arriving to fill the void left by you (and me), as they always have. I agree with other posters, it's some combination of economics, weed, and culture.

This. Part of the allure of the Clay Millenium prizes is that some of the best minds in the field came up with them. Let’s hear what Eric Lander, Jennifer Doudna, Aviv Regev, Feng Zhang, David Baker, Robert Weinberg, George Church, Bert Vogelstein, etc have to say.

For one thing it was, I’m guessing, 100% written by actual humans. An increasingly rare phenomenon.

But think of all the IPO Monopoly money they just generated.

Magnus cannot even beat his phone. We're long past the point of humans being able to compete with the `fish, any version, any platform.

The same could be said of your post.

OpenAI (claim to) show the existence of *a* finite time singularity. It could stimulate more research in PDE solving, and maybe physics, but it has zero impact on practical applications, that I can see. The Millenium problems were chosen based on hardness not practical relevance.

Two of these things will definitely work. One of them is completely untested, poorly understood and with potentially massive consequences for the climate and food production.

Hey at least they are trying.

I absolutely love hacking ikea furniture, specifically their kitchen cabinets. If you need a bunch of boxes as the base for a project and you’re thinking about building it the traditional way, ie 3/4 birch plywood, I can almost guarantee you that the cost of raw materials alone is going to be more than picking up an similar sized kitchen cabinet from ikea. Yes it’s mdf but in my experience they are super durable and it has never been an issue. Writing this from atop my hacked ikea storage bed :-)

This is why so many iOS apps these days are based on Electron/Capacitor/React Native/etc.

Power consumption?

tbf, I don't think Wagyu cows were that thrilled about their lot in life before Wagyu became a thing, either.

Also what decade.

That is so interesting! Thanks!
