Headcount, yes, wages, no.
However, you're assuming that cnc operators can't be artisans. Why?
If we allow anyone with a craft to be considered an artisans if they have a high enough skill level - and we should - I'd counter that the overall number of artisans has likely increased even if less of them now have the title of machinist.
Probably zero, or even a profit. The idea that these companies are making a loss on subscriptions is an unsubstantiated HN fallacy.
On the contrary, they're probably making a small profit on subscriptions, or at least break even, and absolute bank on API pricing. Anthropic recently reported an 80% gross profit margin, for example.

At this point we conclusively know that.
What frustrates me is the constant unshakeable belief here that subscriptions must be running at a loss, based on zero evidence.
Anthropic have said they have 85% margin, which presumably means their normal API pricing. 85% margin is insane. No business deserves that. We can easily assume the subscription is running at a more sane margin like 5-15%.
Can't find the link now it was a the pi harness author saying you could load the entire harness into context with those budgets IIRC.
This is clear manipulation to prevent me from complaining about lower limits until it's out of the news cycle, but I don't care. As soon as those are gone, if my $200 account doesn't give me the value it used to, I'm out.
The random resets are also clear manipulation in this regard as well. Rather than just give me a fixed weekly limit which I could then get a sense of and know if it's getting reduced, they throw out a ~0-3 resets a week at random, unexpected intervals so that I'll never know.
Actual title:
Two Room-Temperature Antiferromagnetic Semiconductor Candidates
There's nothing unusual about finding room temperature semiconductors. I assume whoever posted it misread this as room temperature superconductors, but it has nothing to do with that.
What's interesting here is the antiferromagnetic part of the title, which was removed. I think this makes it relevant for e.g. RAM, but not superconducting. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
(+) Or a "grain" if you're from the US since American English sayings seem to all date from the middle ages, while the rest of the English speaking world tends to update ours over time. No shade meant, I've just always found that interesting.
I live in "SE Asia" - specifically Vietnam - and I've never heard of such a law. I just looked it up and the two countries that come up are Korea and Japan, neither of which are in SE Asia.

I would say very few people are using bare web component. They'll be using a library like Lit at the very least, so your argument is moot.
Waive. And no, it doesn't but it doesn't require attribution either. So you're falling back on copyright law which is unlikely to protect you here - there's a reason people include licenses, after all.
It might be possible to pursue this as illegal under general copyright law but it would be difficult.
If you don't want something like this to happen to your work, use a stronger license.
So, spam?
I'm less convinced of the negatives of this than I used to be. Humans are quite well adapted to alcohol.
If it's something you enjoy, I'd say go for it, in moderation. It's probably less unhealthy than e.g. living in a city, eating processed meat, or working an office job.
Not in any country I've ever been in. Do you mean in the US?
I think this is a misunderstanding of what that 83% probability means. You think you're asking Jev to assign a probability to a dice roll, and if so then obviously it should pick each answer 1/6 of the time.
However, what Jev is doing is assigning a probability to the answer it should choose. And it's choosing 1 with 83% probability, as the correct answer to give, when there's no additional knowledge available.
1 is a perfectly valid answer here. In the absence of other data there's no more (nor less) valid answer than that. and I assume that just like LLMs, the token prediction must assign higher probability to one outcome.
If you keep feeding the previous answers back in (if you can do that with Jev) I assume it would start giving other numbers because it's no longer operating from zero info. Maybe that would even reach ~1/6 after enough rounds, although maybe not.
iPhone, Samsung, Chinese phones, they all do fake moons now.
I guess they'll release an X3 in six months. So it's interesting to see the race is now between Apple and Qualcomm, both on Arm, with Intel and AMD getting left behind, at least on this benchmark.
