lol. With the WFH shit a young couple needs MORE space than a single person. You can’t both work out of the one bedroom.
What industries use 13 months of 28 days for financial reporting?
Um what? You seem confused, they didn’t measure a year with 372 or even 364 days. They measured 28 days. And it’s almost a certainty that taking the average spend over the last 28 days and multiplying by 13 is higher than taking the average spend over the last 31 days and multiplying by 12.
Don’t be stupid. They don’t use the same calculation for subscriptions, there they do 12 months. Only for consumption spending they come up with 13 months of 28 days. They could have just done 30 days for 12 months if they were concerned about over estimating.

> trailing 28 days multiplied by 13
I’m not aware of a year that has 13 months of 28 days? Why would you ever calculate it this way?

They clearly feel personally attacked by your statement. Almost as if there is some truth to it.
> The framework cost is always lower than rolling your own, and this isn't even the argument people are having
First, not using a framework doesn’t mean you have to roll your own (otherwise you’re still using a framework?). Second, this is the claim the parent wants you to substantiate, that not using a framework is always more expensive than using one.
Your “factory” seems to have not gotten the memo that you are openship and not openfront?
Also I have zero clue what I’m looking at here? What is this?
Uh, so you have two possible examples? They may be high profile but I’m not sure they’re successful, especially pgrust. In either case, two isn’t a ton.
What exactly is supposed to be impressive about that fragment? That it correctly used the API of some other library? I’m really not sure why this is supposed to be an example of “good” code that it produces.
Not really? It returns no owner if the document is deleted or just does not exist, which is accurate. Why do you need get_owner to tell you if the document exists or not? If anything it should be an error if the document doesn’t exist because you’ve violated a precondition.
> I don't think it's necessarily a given that "no document" and "no owner" should be handled identically (e.g., searching for the updated document to try again vs. returning an operation-not-allowed error).
If you care whether a document exists or not, you should use an API that exclusively tells you that instead of expecting everything related to documents telling you if the document exists or not. Otherwise you’re overloading the meaning. A non existent document has no owner. An API to fetch the owner of the document should not care if it exists or not, it does not matter.
This seems really silly to me. Why does get_owner need to differentiate between the document exists and maybe has an owner or the document doesn’t exist and thus has no owner. In both cases getting no owner should suffice? Why are you using get_owner to try and figure out if the document exists? Can you give an example where this distinction actually matters?
You said:
> We have on the record sources
You are not on the record if you are anonymous.
You are responding to someone that just today generated thousands of lines of code, claims to have reviewed it all, thought it was good and only wanted one minor change. Surely they have an example of the good code it produces.
Yes, I’m sure the Indian man at Cisco acquired a translation company founded by another Indian man because he’s young and AI native, not for any other reason.
> we have a ton of high profile examples
Such as?
Except their own filing shows it’s getting more expensive, not cheaper. It’s highly unlikely that they’ll ever be able to stop.
> They can obviously push huge volumes of code
Huge volumes of buggy code. The ChatGPT web interface should be an absolute embarrassment. Tap the input box, scrolls to top. Submit input, scrolls to top. 1+ second delay from keypress to input. Scrolling locks up. It’s been an absolute buggy mess for ages, the specific bugs change day to day. I suppose this is what happens when people think the LLMs are good enough to let loose without supervision.
> OAI/Anthropic are negative on the books mostly because of massive R&D expenses. This compares well to Amazon circa 1999, which was positive on COGS but negative overall due to massive buildout R&D costs.
Isn’t the difference that ai labs can’t stop the R&D spend? They have to continue training new models.
Who are the sources? Can you link me their claims?

Sure thing, buddy.
> large portions of companies are held by the general public in much smaller quantities via 401ks, pensions, etc.
Considering everyone is in index (or mutual) funds these days, do they actually own any shares in the underlying companies? I’m not sure they do? The fund surely owns shares of various companies, but the holders of the fund aren’t shareholders in the underlying companies.
Perhaps this is a silly point to make, but the fund providers will show up as 10% owners if the general public has any significant stake in these companies.
As an American, it is bonkers to me too. Last year my former employer did not issue me a w-2. I called the IRS to ask them what to do. They said they had all the information but can’t release it to me until after the filing deadline. Instead I was told to use form 4852 to estimate and file an amended return if my estimate was wrong once they give me the numbers they have. Worst part is you can’t efile when you file with form 4852.
Anyway, my point is that for 95% of people they have all the information already and you shouldn’t have to file.
Most people aren’t interested in vibing and maintaining their own bespoke apps.
But also they probably want to use this app on their phone and other devices. So the either have to make it a web app, become a server admin and pay for hosting. Or they have to buy a Mac and pay for the developer program and hope they pass App Store review so they don’t have to reinstall every days.
Why would you need color to read and understand code?
Yes, the sale only recently concluded, but it’s been in the works for decades. The most recent being The Helium Stewardship Act of 2013, which Congress passed and required the sell off to happen by 2021 or something.
Sort of? They have “cost of revenue” which is compute and salaries (and whatever) for serving inference, then “research and development” which is cost of compute and salaries for training, then “sales and marketing”, then “operations”. R&D is like half the expenses.
Most people have no interest in fixing the leaky faucet themselves, even if the already knew how and didn’t need an LLM to explain how. They’d rather pay someone and do something else with time saved.
