Syntax looks cool. Would have expected proper syntax highlighting in the website (and plugin for IDEs). The website is currently too convoluted until you see actual syntax would highly suggest having code block at the front. See for good reference the landing page of ruby: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

iddan··on TurboQuant: Redefining AI efficiency with extreme compression
I am guessing as Google is vertically integrated and "actually pays" for AI infra (compared to OpenAI & Anthropic that receives hardware as partnerships) they have a more urgent incentive to reduce model sizes. Also, Google and Apple will be the first to gain from running model on-device

iddan··on Microsoft makes Zork open-source
Most of the money to be made is by licensing software to organisations that can afford the risk of pirating (practically anything bigger than SMBs: enterprises, governments, armies, etc). The moat of everyone used to your platform worths a lot more. So they just regulate enough so it won’t seem like they don’t give a shit at all.
