claudenm··on Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC
I don’t think your first sentence is true. The hyperscalers have spent north of 1 trillion in the capex boom as a direct response to AI demand, If you’re a retail investor, you’re already quite exposed.
claudenm··on The (economic) AI apocalypse is nigh
Only oracle has taken on debt so far, among the hyper scalers.
claudenm··on X users are unable to post “Signal.me” links
Great work. I'm sure the brain-rotted OP will be back to regurgitate whatever he read on twitter and completely ignore your debunking.

You knew a decade ago that a million 150 year olds were collecting social security and nothing came of it?

Is it wise to credulousy believe everything your government tells you without source data?
claudenm··on How long til we're all on Ozempic?
This is also wrong. It’s extremely unhealthy, unsafe and unsustainable to lose 15% of your body weight in 2 months.
claudenm··on How long til we're all on Ozempic?
This is an extremely unhealthy rate of weight loss. All guidance centers around .5-1kg/week as both safe and sustainable.
claudenm··on MasterCard suspends all services in Russia
Any citation on that?
claudenm··on Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes
Noted Pro-Covid Senator, Ron Johnson. This is all quackery. The description is just an appeal to authority ("highly credentialed") when in reality they are regularly debunked despite their credentials: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/01/24/robert-malo...
claudenm··on Live tracking of Amtrak trains
It's weird (to me) that this submission is getting upvoted now. It's existed for five years (I helped work on a small part of it).
claudenm··on Facebook has lost $100B in 10 days and now advertisers are pulling out
Very good compensation is one reason I can think of.
claudenm··on Breaking a large AWS spend into understandable pieces
I think you're absolutely right, but what's hilarious to me is that they have private pricing for many of their services. For the traffic we're already doing, we just asked and they knocked our cloudfront bill down nearly 75%. We didn't have to change our usage at all. Granted, we serve a lot of traffic.
claudenm··on I spent three months working full time to get a job
> Companies who are not Google or Apple like to read books about Google and Apple, pretend that they are Google or Apple, and imitate recruiting processes that come from Google or Apple. Which doesn't serve them very well, because they are NOT Google or Apple.

A million times this. I got rejected from a company because the interviewer decided he didn't like that I used array concatenation to find the correct solution to a problem he gave me. This was for a job at a 100 person company. Companies writing line of business software need to stop acting like they are google.

claudenm··on Rockstar lib will make you a Rockstar programmer in 2 lines of code
You're right -- the big 4 was stolen from the audit world.

Depending where you look it's the Big 5 or Big 4 and will be some of Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft.

claudenm··on Ask HN: I Have Cancer. What Should I Do?
Malpractice litigation increases health care spending by 2.4% [0]. Many states have already passed tort reform that limits how and when a patient can sue and recover. There are lots of factors that increase health costs in this country, but litigation barely registers. Getting insurance companies out of the game (the BIG Leeches, in your example, who take 20% of the dollars in the system) would go a much longer way.

claudenm··on Rent Control Creates Higher Rents in SF
It's falicious to think demand is fixed in SF. Removing rent control does nothing to stem demand. Also arbitrary deeming '$2' affordable is made without any supporting evidence.
