That's going to be interesting to see if others follow this as an anchor or buy more into the hype. Regardless it's still a large multiple of earnings...

Turns out I was wrong :)

Anthropic definitely needed money to continue to compete. That should relieve short-term pressure to go IPO in a possibly crowded field (SpaceX, OpenAI, ...).

Not surprising mostly from a Demand + Willingness to Pay in the US...

That's patently false in my dialect at the very least... But also true that we have some strong local accents, and that people no matter their level should feel encouraged to at le…

Them be fighting words! But as a native French speaker, I wholeheartedly agree that it is a tricky language. But there is so much pleasure in speaking it that I miss in English som…

Thanks for the pointer, I hadn't. I think there is a couple of interesting things. First, it's still somewhat orthogonal to the High context versus Low context cultures (see the Cu…

I found a good discussion that I keep referring to on Jean Hsu's blog: https://jeanhsu.substack.com/p/ask-vs-guess-culture and https://jeanhsu.substack.com/p/bridging-the-ask-vs-gu…

NDV = Number of distinct values. Here partitioning on high cardinality columns, essentially.

My list would probably be: 1. The Linux Kernel 2. FFmpeg 3. The Apache HTTP Server 4. qemu 5. GNU Emacs 6. Hadoop 7. TeX 8. Postgres

I know that's true, but I find that the images on my Pixel are starting to have a bit of an eery feel, with some of the details looking more and more like AI generated images. I'd …

You're right but commercial leases for offices are usually multi year and larger companies usually sign longer leases (20, 30 years or more). They can be costly, though not impossi…

I'll let parent elaborate more on the intent, but the way I interpreted it was : Saying that a startup will fail (i.e. being a naysayer) and being right about that is the most like…

Agreed. To be fair, I doubt Maestro will take off like Airflow did. Airflow filled a void of an easier orchestrator for Big Data with a prettier UI than the competitors of the time…

Sounds like a really good move by Databricks, in particular because a lot of the main platforms had implementations of catalogs to the Iceberg Spec, and several vendors, Snowflake …

Oh could you expand briefly on what the stack looks like to accomplish this? Or do you have a write up on a blog/site you could share?

Not the original poster but: >> It’s an organization created by a national government. > Why? What about this requires the power of "government?" Budget mostly. I don't think the p…

One of the other question is whether you have to delete all data / close your account 60 days after you transfer out without fee: https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1765102310563…

I live in the bay area, but yes a main is $15-25+ and anything fancy can go to ~$50. You need to add 9-10% sales tax + 15-20% tip. That's pretty pricey.

Both the ACM [0] and IEEE [1] have published Codes of Ethics, but I agree they have little teeth. [0] https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics [1] https://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/go…

Funny in my FAANG, it can be the reverse :)
