Do you have any sources for this? (Even anecdotal such as conversations with people in the know) I recently built myself a good tool that blocks all sponsored, promoted and recommended posts, and it's been incredible. This information

I'm curious why Microsoft has that setting on by default. What are the benefits of letting any peripheral make system level changes to that extent without popping up a user installer?

One of the primary purposes of batching is to release features at a regular cadence, and all releases go through the same minimum set of checks to catch any unexpected regressions. In my experience, the workload of these checks grows much s

The article repeatedly uses the API charge to the 'customer' as an estimate of the cost value to Anthropic/OpenAI. Is there any good data on the true cost of inference for these companies?

Not sure I fully understood what you meant by 'the open category is done'? Also, from the categories that you mentioned, do you compete in West Coast Swing?

In the day of so much AI content, that straight-up-rant felt oddly... human. It felt like sitting on the old college dorm a lifetime ago unwinding at the end of the day over a beer; and listening to the rant of a batchmate who has obsessed

I'm seeing a lot of this same bottle neck show up around code review. Very interested to hear more experiences of attempts to solve this pragmatically.

Couldn't that also be viewed as the beauty of it? Python is a rather accessible language to learn, and that the performance gap has closed enabling this simple language to operate at all levels It's fascinating.

'Terraforming Mars' is a game that I've come back to more times than I can count. The beauty is that it visually looks really complex and advanced, but the gameplay isn't really that much complex more than wingspan. Over
