    I think the revolution is more of a gradual thing than an overnight one. New features and more complex apps in days or weeks instead of months. I think the world will be a much dif…

    Yes, let's make things more expensive, cause we experts know best. That poor guy that needs to attend a family funeral, he's a loser that should stay home. Inflation for the Win!

    Question for the experts: does the power crunch mean that AI hyperscalers will turn off previous generation GPU datacenters to free up power for their new Vera Rubin GPUs?

    Nah, a friend's fiber bill just went from $50 to $100 per month. He is switching to Starlink.

    The genie is out of the bottle, folks. You can find some pretty good vulnerabilities even with models like Deepseek V4 Flash.

    If it actually was spent on ads, it seems to me OpenAI would have to be one of the single biggest ad buyers in the world. Almost certainly they are using a somewhat broad definitio…

    Very urban perspective. If you are a contractor or farmer in rural America, there is no way to survive without a good sized truck.

    I believe it. Makes me curious what your prompt was that got such a good result out of Opus.

    Meanwhile Deepseek V4 Flash will happily hunt security vulns at almost 0 cost. We are ceding the bug hunting to the open weight models.

    I spend about $100/month with Vultr. The uptime in the datacenters my VMs are hosted in is extremely good.

    The can't afford it exception is disappearing soon, as it isn't true for any business. Total setup costs for STIR/SHAKEN are under $2000 these days. Providers that lack control ove…

    STIR/SHAKEN up to this point has only been a self-certification that a telecom company has the right to use a number. What the FCC is trying to do is set up a legal obligation for …
