Idk 512GB of (essentially) ram is pretty damn insane for a consumer machine

Yes but I don't think maintaining clones of SaaS products will be very easy. Maintaining integrations definitely gets a lot easier

Creating? Sure. Maintaining? absolutely not.

The truth is that using AI well is a skill much like anything else. There's no one single way to use it much like there's no one single way to write a program that serves hackernews.

Both spectrums are hard. Solving last mile is really really hard, but if you do that's a huge moat (aka Amazon). If you avoid last mile, you best deliver value in some other way, which Costco does by giving you more per dollar than any

I don't think coding is solved in the way they claim, but certainly solved in some way for many people. I don't write code by hand anymore, everything is through claude/codex/pi. Still requires lots of work to shape the

I have my qualms with Anthropic/Claude but they've also had to scale unfathomably fast and that is just hard to do regardless.

That's not the argument. No one is asking users to be grateful for OSS. They just want users to not be dicks to the maintainer. Would you continue volunteering if the beneficiaries spat in your face and cursed you out for it?

You can criticize all you want, but he can also just stop maintaining it if he gets too annoyed by the criticism. Maybe that's a better outcome for you, idk.

Yes but you can't get away from a 5 year timeline, and then you have to project how many other fabs will be opening

A fab for high end memory costs $20B and 5 years to build. It will happen, but yeah it takes time and money

> A human being who states X (implying they know it to be true) will behave in a way that is consistent with X being true. That is literally not true and why we talk about "stated vs revealed preference" and such.

Those are 2 different things so yeah I naturally would have a different reaction.

This makes no sense. Google is beholden to its own shareholders, not the markets at large. In any case, it's well known that devs in Google have liked anthropic/openai models for coding more than gemini, so unless they're hid

Whatever LLMs are or are not, they've completely changed what I do for work. 9 months ago I was coding, today I prompt. Every line of code I commit is generated by LLMs. If you want to call it text search, be my guest. Doesn't cha

As a recent interviewee, I much more prefer work samples. Less stressful, more in my control and less bound to whether I got lucky and clicked with the problem in a live interview. It's also just much more akin to what work is like, an
