There are numerous benchmarks that measure cost per task, which factors out tokens entirely. Gemini 3.8 flash is significantly lower than Sol on basically all of them https://artificialanalysis.ai/#cost-tabs That said, Luna

Yes, I'm surprised there isn't more conversation around this being a way of the administration lashing out at Anthropic like they tried to do with the supply chain risk maneuver.

> Meta is going to surpass Google this year in revenue. I agree on the diversification front though Meta might surpass Google on _digital advertising revenue_. Google's overall revenue is still ~2x Meta's

In 20 years I expect basically all of these to move to web-based interfaces and away from thick clients. You're already seeing graphics heavy use cases like CAD do this (Onshape has been hugely popular and is cloud native on Linux). Ev

Mythbusters made a version of this in an unaired segment of their 2006 episode about passing gas https://youtu.be/RHcDP_Yew-g?si=T7AONGdXPd4d_gM3

The 5080 is 16GB VRAM, not system memory. I don't think you can get 24-32GB VRAM in a $500 box

Not on the same scale as AI, but my first ever AirBnB host still owns harley.com. He made his money writing "The Yellow Pages of the Internet" physical books and had turned down numerous lucrative offers from Harley Davidson. Real

Yes, I've been waiting for a real breakthrough with regard to 3D parametric models and I don't think think this is it. The proprietary nature of the major players (Creo, Solidworks, NX, etc) is a major drag. Sure there's STP,

In this case it's not a direct duplicate of the link, but another post on the same topic. I find there is value in reading through the previous discussion that I may not have otherwise seen.

Gemini CLI is open source too, though I think the consensus is it's a distant third behind Claude Code and Codex

I've never experienced any of these on Caltrain in the last ~10 years, for what it's worth.

I find including "don't change anything else" in the NBP prompt goes a long way.

"If you show revenue, people will ask 'HOW MUCH?' and it will never be enough. The company that was the 100xer, the 1000xer is suddenly the 2x dog. But if you have NO revenue, you can say you're pre-revenue! You're

Action against DMCA abusers has happened in a few instances, but it's still largely an unsolved problem without sufficient deterrence from abuse. https://techhq.com/news/dmca-takedown-notices-case-in-califo...

Do more than 20% of engineers really believe they'll be E6 at a FAANG by the time they're 37? I think most folks are more grounded than that.

Not surprising. Search and browsing history has been used as evidence for some time.

Seems like cool framework, but I'm bothered by the example image around having AI research and generate a blog post. This is exactly the sort of thing I don't want.

AFAIK geo-replication between regions _does_ replicate the entire dataset. It sounds like you're describing RAID configurations, which are common ways to provide redundancy and increased performance within a given disk array. They defi

It's not novel research, but I think it drives home the point that many narrow applications of AI do not require the largest, latest (and most expensive) models. And in many of those cases, a small fine-tuned model is the most performa

This matches my experience exactly. I use a standard QWERTY setup on the moonlander, with only changes being the thumb clusters and changing caps lock to backspace. After a few days of practicing, it feels natural and seamless to switch bac

Where did you get 10-20 cm? That sounds wildly off. Commercial lidar would get you to ~3-5 cm at 100 feet easily and Waymo's is said to be better than the commercially available units.

Engineering-to-Order! Not all that uncommon of a model in some industries, but problems arise when Sales doesn't have good communication with Engineering about what is actually possible for what price on what timelines.

Yeah, you're right! The answer is definitely misleading at best. It would be better if the sentence "This method was a major component of a copyright lawsuit settlement that Anthropic paid in September 2025." was removed. I&#

I agree, AI Mode is _very good_. But there's a huge branding and discovery problem in that 100% of the people I mention this to think I'm talking about the (error riddled) AI Overviews and have never heard of AI Mode. I do probabl

I thought the courts decided against Google in Google vs Epic? It was even appealed and upheld. Are you thinking of another case? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Google

The reporting about Altman personally cutting off months of safety testing and redteaming in order to launch 4o one day before Google's launch is horrifying given all of these stories. It even seems like ChatGPT often proactively sugge
