At least that one started as a worker's club. The worse offender is named after an energy drink.

I get why they do it, but at the very least it should be "sponsor name real name", not "sponsor name generic description of arena".

Spotify Camp Nou is annoying and worse than Camp Nou, but at least there is some soul and belonging. "Spotify Arena" would have been disgusting and empty.

It always boggles my mind when fans say "so and so at the AT&T stadium"... Until a new sponsor comes in.

You really need to look into why the UN was created and what purpose it serves.

Because without a common forum for discussion, things would absolutely be worse.

Putin also had a nearing term limit, but he found a transparent way around it.

He didn't have "Putin next election year" merch for it, so I guess you can say this is innovation.

> Day to day for nearly everyone is exactly the same rule of law where you can call police for a murder and roving gangs can’t setup shakedown checkpoints.

Is that your threshold for "rule of law"? And I'm sorry, but what separates ICE from a roving gang setting up shakedown checkpoints, and executing at point blank range with no repercussions dissenters?

Do you have a writeup of how you did it, which tools you used? I have a similar project on a much more mundane topic, where I want to build a searchable index of Youtube videos, blog posts, etc. based on their content.

> You buy something one day, and it starts to deteriorate and become janky after a year, and you'll have a buy a new one

I had a LACK table (9.99 euros at time of acquisition) last for 10 years before a move forced me to give it away. I also have a few random things from them (wooden cutting board, grater, I think a bookshelf) and everything is pretty OK, even the cheap stuff.

> I can morn paper but it's not like the contents are being lost

Unless they're sharing the scans publicly or with the Internet Archive or equivalent, they are being lost.

> It will be interesting to see if SAP can turn into the basis for companies that use AI heavily or if companies that use AI heavily will prefer to replace SAP.

Considering the human and institutional complexity of implementing ERP, CRM, whatever the hell Concur is supposed to be, etc. I'd bet on most organisations implementing AI around and with those systems instead of replacing them with something vibecoded / "AI native" vendors.

No, courts so far in the jurisdictions which have heard such cases, have ruled it's fair use. There is plenty of ongoing litigation in many jurisdictions, so it's way too early to just decree "it's been determined". It likely won't be for years to come.

You sure about that? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/trump-musk-f...

Xiaomi phones have/had a feature where depending on which finger you unlock the phone with, it can hide certain applications/folders on the filesystem.

Scaleway have two separate (one fully managed one a bit less) services for that:

> But with AI you kinda sorta should just build your own blog

Please don't. There is absolutely no reason not to use the extremely simple and powerful combination of:

* a headless CMS / static website generated, of which there are a bunch so pick the one you like the most. My go-to is Hugo but it is somewhat complex

* a static hosting service with a generous free tier like CloudFlare Pages/Workers, Netlify, Firebase Hosting, etc.

Your blog costs nothing, has zero attack surface and zero maintenance.

Ecosystem? The JS/TS ecosystem approach is to use as many libraries as possible for the sake of it, exposing you to a massive supply chain risk. PHP doesn't suffer from that because there are barely any libraries for it.

Adding ID checks would make venue entry a slower and more tedious process.

> Really unfortunate. I don't understand why there's such a lack of response on the Cursor side.

It's hard to vibe code security.

> Yet, even now, Fable is able to do the work of 4-5 engineers when used by a single senior engineer. Teams can and will shrink.

If that's true or not, it's a bit irrelevant. Maybe teams won't shrink because of Jevon's paradox, or maybe tech debt will catch up.

But it doesn't matter because the people calling this a bubble mostly believe that the companies burning money cannot have the return on investment needed. This can be for a variety of reasons, but my favourite one is just that open source AI models are good enough, cost a fraction of what the frontier ones do (with predictable costs), can be fine tuned, and can be relied upon (no orange tweet banning your acces to the model you've been using). So for me OpenAI and Anthropic will really struggle to merit their valuations.

And then companies like Oracle are just a dumpster on fire. GPU hosting is a commodity business; expensive one, for sure, but there's no way in hell they'll make actual returns on the money burned with zero moat. And things are even worse when you consider the political involvement of the CEO and his nepo baby, which can easily burn good will.

It's pretty wild how anyone thought they have standing to fire / reprimand people for this. It's pretty clear cut free speech.

Especially from, supposedly, the people crying about cancel culture and lack of free speech.

A decade to realise that a military base has been resized and there is an obvious school on what used to be a part of the same property isn't fast.

And a wall between the two was built a decade ago. Considering it was hit on day one, obviously it was considered an important target, which makes it inexcusable that nobody checked it in a decade.

Don't forget the US government openly bragging about using AI for targeting in the Iran war, while also trying to pretend it didn't strike a school and kill a few hundred schoolchildren. (No we don't know if it was AI that made the mistake, and it's not like we're likely to get a proper investigation into it)

No, they run GitLab because GitHub Enterprise is a horrible thing nobody has ever said a good thing about.

GitLab even has a free self-hosted version, and it has a number of advantages (like being able to actually have a structure with inherited secrets and accesses, and no, GitHub Organisations do not count and suck). And for years thanks to GitLab-CI it was clearly ahead.

That's why self-hosted GitLab is so popular in Europe.

Not really because the transaction occurs in a specific place with specific tax rules, regardless of where the purchaser is from.

> their AI is not as good as their competitors

That's irrelevant because their AI was never a product they sold.

Removing a useless middleman party that needs a profit margin, and removing the perverse incentives of them having to prove their value thus having inflated prices with fake discounts, and centralising all healthcare purchasing power in a single entity, is absolutely going to solve a lot of challenges US healthcare faces

I'm not presuming, I flat out said: nobody sane would trust them with their business. They've been shown as unreliable suppliers due to arbitrary decisions by the White House. Nobody would want for their business automation processes to stop working because someone woke up pissy and banned the model they were using.

Needlessly patriotic and confrontational.

I'm referring to OpenAI and Antropic - would they be successfull with ~40-50% of their potential market?

And iPhones, not really. But you can bet your ass that every business purchasing software in Europe is at least considering the geopolitical risks of buying American, and thinking of alternatives. Doesn't mean they'll all stop buying American software any time soon, but the shift has already started.

> What are they going to do? Start their own Anthropic? Go for it. Why is every other country in the world entitled to American technology by default?

Because American tech companies make a lot of money from outside of the US. For instance, 1/4 of all Apple revenues are from Europe, and 1/5 from China and China-claimed territories. Only around 40% are from the Americas (so not even the US exclusively).

Would American tech companies be as successfull without ~half their revenues?

In any case, it doesn't matter, the cat is out of the bag. Nobody sane and non-American would trust American frontier labs, because their models can be yanked at will by whoever is in the White House. It would be suicidal to rely on them for critical business or developer workflows. So your options are to go with Mistral or open source Chinese models, hosted within your environment, with the added benefits of being able to control the costs and being able to fine tune the models to better work for you.
