At what point do we stop engaging with Anthropic’s leadership in good faith and acknowledge their track record, - no open weights - can’t use claude to research AI - train on everyone else’s IP and sell it back to them - 8 regulatory captur

This might be IT department enforced, we're a FedRAMP High shop with Google IdP and roll Safari I've worked at some places where they restrict to Chrome because they have a corporate extension

Is the limiting factor for extensions APIs or just porting it to WebKit?

Serious question: why do people use non-OS browsers? Most devs I know are on Mac. Why not just use Safari? Works in most cases, helps you catch issues earlier on, looks beautiful and is super customizable, still supports UBlock, has vertica

You are absolutely correct, billable hours are perverse incentives and wrap rates border on predatory, but this status quo is Congressionally mandated and buy commercial as a policy is generally bipartisan.

I was not a fan of Direct File (I think it could have been much better!) but it was objectively in the success bucket: - ~$50M all-in to build which sounds egregious but is small for a government project - mostly good outcomes - ~4y to pilo

This sort of thing was only worse in the past and IMO this admin has actually made the largest inroads to resolving this issue which tbh lies primarily in procurement (RFO, FR20x, PA, mandates for automation, shift to COTS, etc). With any l

Fireworks is an inference provider that specializes in running open source models very fast and makes almost all of their margin on chinese models So the economic incentive is literally their entire business model lol

This is essentially the point of the visa, it feels wrong especially as YC drops standards and increases cohort sizes, but the same power laws that keep them winning also apply here in maximizing economic value of each O-1 approval Basicall

This makes even less sense, Trump admin has been here for 1 year, the implication here is a university grad on H1-B in January would become a world class researcher capable of building a frontier model in <18mo

The visa that would correlate to this is the O-1 visa 20k O-1 visas were issued last FY which was mostly under the Trump admin, up from 19.5k the previous FY under the Biden admin

I sold my company ~2 years ago for a very decent 8-figure exit where we cleared multiples, everybody got paid, fat bonuses all around, etc. just real pipedream founder stuff. Was incredibly excited and thought "we've made it!&quot

Am I reading this right? They surpassed SOTA (Qwen 3.7) by finetuning an older model (Qwen 3.5)?

Not missing the forest for the trees, this effectively means in 3-5 months China will drop open source models that are every bit as capable and dangerous as current day Mythos except with no safeguards. And the only companies safe from this

I'll disagree because the primary issues with gun control in the US are: [1] Guns are a core part of culture for much of America, very deeply so outside coastal cities. Most of the left wing in the US lives in coastal cities and either

The company is not forced to sell immediately to whoever offers it money, they can sell themselves off for parts. I heavily doubt PE firms are interested here as there is no potential for growth or a multiple. Spirit's assets are mainl

This isn't really a scam because no money moves and this is non-binding. Here are a list of glaring issues I see here: 1) Pledges being non-binding means there is no proof of funds. This means they can't actually make an offer, pr

No longer rumored as they filed for IPO! This is actually an amazing sweetheart deal for Cursor. Many times with these high profile acquisitions, most stock is tied to LPA's and employment at the company, and also earnout provisions. T

I'd argue Meta is much worse: Palantir builds these systems for the US government which is (hopefully) something you can hold accountable / can reasonably trust. Meta builds these systems for itself to make digital cocaine and sel

What are they buying with this money? If you're the rich 1% and have replaced the 99% with AI there is no longer an economy for you to participate in. We don't have to imagine this scenario, we already did feudalism, and it famous

Top 1% and top 20% are entirely different numbers, and majority does not mean all. If the bottom 99% or even 80% of people were unable to meaningfully engage in the economy it would collapse. We already know this model does not work due to

I am, CMMC 2.0 requires and is essentially satisfied by FedRAMP Moderate, and NIST 800-171 is a subset of FedRAMP. Notably both CMMC and FedRAMP were met with immense criticism from industry which was mostly ignored. It would be better to c
