Yeah it's the caching that's doing the work for them though honestly. So many cached queries saving the GPUs from hard hits.

Right, he indicated he's losing $10-20k a month on OpenClaw. Might as well let OpenAI absorb those losses and join the rocket ship.

The guy is a multi millionaire from selling his old software so I'm doubtful it is about the money for him at this point as much as it is the experience working with this tech on another level.

It isn't a coincidence we have two Palantir articles on the front page and this. It's in the cards and American's seem to be ignoring it and are more than happy to accept the dystopian future where this leads.

It's incredibly sad as an optimistic person trying to find any silver lining here.

The deep state is their former name but I like your reference or the Epstein class which is far better at describing how both sides of the political aisle are compromised by the rich and powerful who know no laws or punishment for crimes any normal person would be subjected too.

Palantir is a threat to all American privacy and likely Democracy given Thiel wants to tear it down and owns Palantir.

This is why government and corporations should not be embedded together as they have near zero laws or punishment for spying on Americans.

It isn't even just about the invasion of our rights but the government shouldn't choose winners and losers like we are seeing. It eliminates the open nature of competition.

If you look up the founder he has a bit of history of shady shiz with his past companies.

It isn't surprising to me they are going scorched earth now bending to the will of the fascist government.

I'm probably a minority, but I've never loved dealing with syntax. The code itself always felt like a hindrance to me that reminded me that my brain was slowed down by my fingers. I get it though, it was tactical and it completed the loop. It was essential for learning I felt like despite eventually getting to a point where it slows you down the more senior you get.

AI has a ways to go before it's senior level if it ever reaches that level, but I do feel bad for juniors that survive this who never will have the opportunity to sculpt code by hand.

They called it project dawn which is telling what they have in mind with these layoffs.

Redirects my man, Learn em and love them

As you get deeper beyond the starter and bootstrap code it definitely takes a different approach to get value.

This is in part because context limits of large code bases and because the knowledge becomes more specialized and the LLM has no training on that kind of code.

But people are making it work, it just isn't as black and white.

If this was intentional I'm going to uninstall it and encourage people never to use it. This is ridiculous.

Boggles my mind a bit given much of the oil companies own the new renewable tech too. Why not keep investing in the future.

Amazing how bad this has gotten under this administration. They have turned the air into a free for all match.

I figured this would happen given how crap Roombas have been since they fired or lost all their engineering talent years ago.

So I went with a roborock since it is superior but completely blocked it from ever communicating outside my home.

Works great, there are plenty of ways to modify roborock vacuums and load up other software even.

They just won't stop. We needed to have laws in place to prevent digital IDs being continuously pushed on people because the powers that be want total control of all information.

It's happening in the US now under the guise of AI data centers for consumers but I suspect it will be instead used to surveillance everyone who doesn't agree with the fascist government. This is Larry Ellison's public vision but Musk and Thiel also play a role.

Sure, but Netflix is the non-nepotism and non-cronyism option. I'll take that over the corruption we are witnessing right before our eyes with free markets disappearing.

The dark side of all this is a propaganda network.

The government and who runs it should not be in business I'm sorry. This isn't free markets, it's manipulation and corruption.

Useless Clippy all over again. At least Clippy stayed in his lane and could be turned off.

I feel AI does decent at fixing the dupes and consolidating it as one instance. Abstractions can have far deeper connections and embeddings making it really hard to undo and reform but to each their own on what works for them.

I have to agree, it's much easier to remove and consolidate duplicative work than unwind a poor abstraction that is embedded everywhere.

And I think it's easy to see small companies lean on the duplication because it's too easy to screw up abstractions without more engineering heads involved to get it right sometimes.

I've heard from users they are burnt out on the UI many apps support. Buggy components everywhere across web, mobile, etc. e.g I can confirm that QuickBooks mobile app has so many bugs still in it for example and it's like 1/10th their web app.

I know personally I hit buggy forms and UI way more than I should preventing me from proceeding.

So I think there is an opportunity to instead have n permutations in natural language where the interface is consistent towards how the user inputs, it will just be up to the developers to support some UI for confirmation and structuring more complex input within chat itself. The biggest issue will be become discovery of what you can and cannot do without stationary UIs hinting at capabilities.

Anyways we are in new territory so it will be interesting how this plays out.i like to think of it as on demand UI but curious how others are toying with this paradigm.

We are testing a mostly display only interface for output where the majority of input comes in from chat and chat UI components right now just to see how this would work in practice.

I thought I was the youngest but I was 16. You win.

How old are you now? Did th vaccine help your symptoms?

Well sounds like I'm the youngest around here. I got it when I was 16/17. Honestly I kind of forgot about it for awhile but have weird nerve pain sometimes when I'm stressed now that I'm 41 so I assume it still lingers in me.

Looking to find out more about the vaccine and it's impacts on existing shingle victims.

I ended up getting shingles when I was 17. Terrible and rare I heard but for the most part I've never had any major outbreaks since then.

I wasn't aware the shingles vaccine starves off nerve pain. I've noticed more nerve pain with pins and needles and neuropathy now that I'm 41 which I assume is what you are talking about. I used to think I was getting pre-diabetic before this as I wasn't aware of nerve flare ups being a thing given how young I was when I found out.

Has there not been any studies around this with those with shingles taking the vaccine and freeing them from their symptoms? First time I've heard this.

Now I'm envisioning WB movie pass combined with streaming subscriptions. The business models can get quite funky in this paradigm.

They have always been stuck between prosumer, pro business, and enterprise.

They have tried to go subscription based licensing but that can be conflicting for companies who just want decent reliable network gear in all the above market segments.

I fit in the prosumer category and have about $10,000 in gear and while it's great for my needs I don't see myself ever spending money for network gear subscriptions.

The seed has been planted. It will take awhile for others to fill the void. Still the big players see this as an opportunity to steal market share if Cloudflare cannot live up to their reputation.

The irony is they support rolling out incrementally with some of their products for deployment.

They need that same mindset for themselves in config/updates/infra changes but probably easier said than done.

One of the many reasons why I try and bombard myself with different views and perspectives. Foreign vs domestic. Left vs right. Personal vs official.

I don't do this with every topic unless I'm interested in discussing something just so I'm more informed just to reduce bias.

Quantum compute is my guess. Being able to switch entire models at atomic speeds will give the perception of intelligence at least. There is still a lot there that will need to be figured out between now and then.
