Betelbuddy··on Anthropic's IPO prospectus shows AI vision, surging costs
You know the losses increased even more massively or Anthropic itself would have leaked the number already...

Most interesting: "Anthropic said nearly a quarter of its revenue came from two customers last year, and as part of its risk factors, warned that many of its largest clients were not locked into long-term contracts and could cut or stop spending."

Betelbuddy··on Intellectuals Are Fucking Idiots
Imagine an island country that produces no oil, a totally realistic scenario.... War cuts supply and oil goes from €10 to €100. Economy contracts, prices rise.

What do Economists do?: Raise interest rates!

Excellent. How many barrels of oil did that create? Zero.

It takes a remarkable level of abstraction to look at a physical shortage and conclude that the real problem is that people still have too much money.

They are worst than a fraud...Economist are criminals...

Betelbuddy··on Intellectuals Are Fucking Idiots
Wait until you hear about the ultimate fraud...Economists.

Look at the EU central bank and their rising on interest rates despite rising prices not proving rising demand....but they live by their model...

You get a war as external shock that makes oil scarcer while the economy is already contracting...so they hike rates, what will not create oil but crushes demand on top of a supply collapse...

"...Tracking US data centre construction sites by satellite imagery shows between 16 and 18 gigawatts on track for completion this year, the broker says, citing SynMax Intelligence.

SynMax estimates when data centres are likely to become operational by tracking when land is cleared, when construction begins and how the build progresses. It pushes out the timeline if the land’s not cleared on schedule, no matter what the companies involved are claiming. By its measures, there are around 2 GW of US data centre projects scheduled for completion in 2026 that are yet to start on the land clearances, making them “impossible” to deliver on time..."

As Ed Zitron mentioned before, somebody should how check, how many of those GPU shipments NVIDIA has been talking about every quarter, for the last three years, is actually in a data center...

Betelbuddy··on Cloudflare addressed cross-tenant data exposure vulnerability in Containers
"The vulnerability would potentially have allowed for a customer with a Workers Paid account to recover residual data from storage blocks previously used by other customers’ Containers on the same underlying host.

A successful exploitation would have crossed the tenant-isolation boundary and could disclose filesystem metadata, directory structures, database pages, and application data."

Whenever you go through beautiful green wilderness at midnight, remember when I carefully recited a simple paragraph and practiced repeating the numbers again; I remembered."
