    It's not. 23,000 jobs is 0.01% of the workforce, so it's negligible in terms of lost sales (probably hurts consumer confidence more). But it is a signal that the economy isn't runn…

    A nit, but fusefs is a well-known thing, so you'll face some naming confusion.

    I enrolled in 2002. The Nasdaq bottomed in September 2002, there was talk everywhere about outsourcing, but I went into it because that's where my passion was. I graduated into the…

    It's like a basic Kindle. Or Ryanair. Between this, the proprietary nut patent, and the heated seat subscription, I'm probably not going to look at BMW for my next car. They've bee…

    It's differently interesting. It's interesting that they didn't get an important detail right with a partner, so more on Anthropic's attention to important details rather than the …

    Sibling has a good comment about silicon. Another reason you're printing something like 100B transistors. So that's at least 100B raster steps. It would just take too long.

    This is picking the wrong tool for the job twice over. Half of it is seeing if text-to-image mechanics exist in general purpose LLMs, the other half is seeing if they can reason th…

    People are actually angry about inflation and a sense of a stagnant labor market. Data centers and AI play into both those fears.

    What you didn't elaborate on is that it's a poor investment thesis, so while the association is Nasdaq == tech, it's not entirely true, and it missing things if what you really wan…

    Compilers only really use them for things like break and the end if blocks. There isn't much to gain by being able to execute anything arbitrarily, and then go...where? There might…
