    Yeah this is what I’m curious about. How good are they after the benchmarks. I’ve been told yeah they’re good but they’re just building to show off for benchmarks. The ByteDance fo…

    No no no ... they're Monoliths from 2001: A Space Odessy, remember when he became one and would go from star to star blowing them up for fun?

    One could argue using WSL is an anti-pattern: use a real OS. I kid, I kid. Yeah I’m an avid user of the editor. I don’t care for their AI stuff I bring my own but I just want to se…

    I don’t know who wins. I know we do though. In discovery we are gonna get such great juicy details. I am in the camp that Sam Altman and company can’t be trusted. But who knows? Le…

    Aww thanks folks. All the downvotes to this means folks don’t think I’m dumb and also don’t like the self deprecating humor.

    All your money and retirement funds are safe; I’m too dumb to work at JaneStreet; every time I see OCAML I feel less than and confused.

    Sounds like all I need to do is get this onto a machine and find a way to open the url click exploit or something and I get a RAT

    2.02 per share Slight miss on services revenue is interesting (30B v 31B) Apparently weak guidance for the next quarter. Stock is down a bit. Otherwise still a cash printer. Almost…

    This is predatory. I don’t like it. They should just split the cost equally over the number of months so at the end you have paid it off.

    "insane" that they kept the price the same and didn't jack it up, my bad for the ambiguity.

    insane pricing: " Claude Opus 5 is available today on all platforms, priced at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens (the same as Opus 4.8)"
