Databricks is most certainly getting charged API pricing no matter what harness they are using. OpenAI and Anthropic models are so sought after right now that they set the terms ev…

You have no clue what you're talking about while trying to act smug and talking down to someone who knows at least a little bit more than you. Netflix cannot run without massive DC…

When I type 56789*23456 into my calculator and get the result I don't claim to have solved the problem, the calculator did it.

Github salaries can't afford devs from Google and Meta who have seen the bliss of a well oiled massive monorepo change management system and forge.

The very next bullet is > $233 in 2024. 13x in 13 years So yes you would in fact need to pay ten times that and then some. And by virtue of being on hacker news I'm guessing your a…

2 main problems with this article: one it's fundamentally asking for something impossible, and two for the part that _is_ possible it's using the wrong tool for the job. It's not p…

It's not hidden at all. Financial blogs very accessible to laymen like Matt Levine's Money Stuff have talked about this structure months ago. If you are an investor and surprised b…

I would guess the price for payment processing drops tremendously when you don't need to handle fraud or chargebacks at all. It's for sure worse for consumers but I do think it has…

Your experienced latency will be heavily influenced by which DC you hit, in which case we care about the relative traffic loads because you aren't just hitting your closest one all…

By traffic load east coast datacenters dwarfs these.

Most of big tech's major data centers are in Loudoun County, VA on the east coast not the west coast. It's centrally located to be great latency for the east coast and OK latency f…

If the agent you are running really wanted to it could easily find a way to mount the windows folders and read them all. WSL isn't a security boundary, you are only barely more pro…

Wealth is not in fact finite. If you take a piece of lumber and carve it into a dresser you've just generated wealth. Resources kind of are but not really, extraction takes it from…

You are poisoning the context and priming it to say load-bearing. I don't really think there is a good way to actually ban specific phrases other than have it do a second pass, it'…

Within the 1982-2026 span there is an equally negative 3.5 sigmas deviation somewhere (no year labels on the graph). The article doesn't touch on it at all so I have no context as …

Your post seems pretty polite. Did you have Claude write it for you?

Most likely the building gets stabilized and then anyone involved gets embroiled in lawsuits and it stays standing half finished for years. One Seaport is a famous recent example o…

> In Japan, there's a big issue when a snack raises its price 2 cents No, there really isn't. You're looking at one company that "apologized" as a marketing play but outside of tha…

I would wager most if not all of the tokenmaxxing was done on enterprise API priced plans, not subscription plans. You can't actually token"max" if you are limited in the amount of…

That's because you pretty quickly catch downvotes from people with sour grapes whenever you talk good about working at big tech. Quadruply so for companies much more hated than ave…

No not really your perf will only realistically influence 10 maybe 15 percent of your comp for your first 4 years. Vast majority is fixed at signing time. Numbers there are truly w…

You frequently having to tell people about a global configuration gitignore is an obvious consequence of "My general rule is that in-repo .gitignore should only be used for repo-sp…

Do you really think the guy branding thousands of people working at Meta as basically pedophiles can really be said to care about "solidarity"? I certainly wouldn't consider someon…

Many people do have unlimited budgets because their work pays for it. Just because the latest SOTA model isn't something most consumers can afford for personal use doesn't mean it'…

No, that's not what it means at all even if just doing it purely in math terms. Really it is just a reasonable amount to cap at to stop the long tail of super spenders (tokenmaxxer…
