artists sell live experiences and original merchandise to actually make money these days. only a rare subset of megastars are living off royalties to begin with, and I am totally fine if some tailor swift has less millions to begin with. pe

Independend of AI I am fully supporting the idea to abolish copyright in general, full stop. Allowing cheap duplication and tweaking is what leads to fast innovation and culture changes. Explicit (costly) patents can remain in place to secu

unironically sama is probably one of the most honest players here after all, he is burning money and if/when they have achieved AGI they will ask it in how to make money. its a different investor incentive story than trying to monetize

districts are diverse in hamburg, its a huge city-state. I live in the south, in harburg, which has a historically bad reputation but a lot of subdistricts here are in fact pretty nice, and commute to the centre via train is like 20 minutes

this in fact is excellent articulated what I also strongly feel. went from decades of oldschool crafting by hand and got good at it, then went into vibecoding and the experience of decades made me leverage agents significantly better than o

just used mistral for a database/scraping creation tool and ended at <10k€ in token costs (via openrouter), beating gpt5.4-mini in output quality and speed and costs after actual testing A/B fairly. so its a super scoped task t

the very point is that theft means you no longer have something since someone else has. copying is you still have it and someone else now too. there is no harm done by copying, except you actually believe that exclusivity as a separate conc

cursor feels so 2025 to me guys. these days zed is just way better for my macbook battery and with acp can talk literally to my installed claude code and codex CLI tools, plus their own and custom providers ontop. I was kind of a decade of

Okay so if this model is half a year behind, so let’s say January opus pre-nerf, this is it. Inference is actually quite cheap for token costs, the frontier labs burn most of their money on training new models, priced into their token costs

wholeheartedly agree. even as a techie with decades of experience, the meta business world is a complete clusterfuck its unbelievable bad. yes they bought and assimilated things like insta or whatsapp, but with their sheer amounts of engine

Between professional Elixir, Go Rust and Node over decades now I am arriving actually at OCaml now. Using LLMs to actually teach it to me. Andd boy, a REAL type system is just something i won't ever again compromise upon. I mean yeah I

with web framewworks like actix or rocket itsd actually not much different to python flask or nodejs express or .... . but i am a cheap person and prefer to cram as much stuff onto my $4 DO droplets as possible, and rust brings you very far

I use both languages and in spirit you are right, btu in my experience its more nuanced. first of all the way inline unittests in the same file is a way to have very fast cycle times in TDD too in many situations, still slower than go full

lone wolf here too, can confirm. true fullstack (not only tech parts - from marketing to product to boring IT and financials) makers now have insane speedups, IF they previously did everything by hand properly and found ways to be good at i

in fact engineering job openings are skyrocketing, just far beyond the big megacorps. AI was a neat excuse to correct the covid overgiring phases, now axes happened while lots of people built lots of new things they couldn't before and

Maybe I am in a minority position here, but despite me vibecoding for many months now (havent written a single line by hand and forced me todo so in the beginning), I still have my IDE open right next to Codex/CC and while the LLM is c

Maybe I am the only one thinking this, but there is a growing backlash against AI mindset plus a lot of people using the free chatgpt app for "googling" nowadays in parallel too, while realizing slowly that they cannot really trus

Still anecdotal but the exact same coding task on the exact same repo (I clone from GitHub templates for projects) worked amazingly well in December with CC/Opus, couldn’t accomplish the goal anymore end of march, with essentially iden

I get what youre trying to say but this is actually a bad picture to defend. product and engineering should go hand in hand, with one side informing the other. Engineers sctually giving a shit about a product will tell product possibilities

That’s statistically just luck then - plenty of outages this year already in Berlin time during work hours - I do remember the forced breaks with colleagues for sure.

My max20 sub is sitting unused since april mostly now, codex with 5.4 (and now 5.5) even with fast mode (= double token costs) is night and day. Opus is doing convincing failures and either forgets half the important details or decides to d

Essentially they should hire a few of the old school product guys from Apple. Best me to it, but the obsession on UX and quality from earlier Apple is exactly what they urgently need instead of tech folks trying to engineer themselves into

I refuse to believe that caching tiers for longer than 1 hour would be impossible to transparently build and use to avoid all this complexity to begin with, nor that it would be that expensive to maintain in 2026 when the bulk costs are on

Sounds like moneygrab is accelerating before consumer grade local models are getting good enough for local inference in few years. Huge house of cards here. Demand skyrocketing until it’s suddenly dropping entirely with ondevice inference.
