I 100% agree that their business is operated extremely well and delivers lots of value. I am just saying that in my opinion, society would be even better off if this industry wasn't controlled by a cartel and i pointed 2 examples of

You are literally linking to a page published by Visa's Investors Relations Department. The problem is that like all cartels, they hold progress back. Things could be even more efficient than the current state of affairs. For example w

Well said, these talking points pushed by EU politicians for decades need to stop. US white collar workers have access to pretty much the same benefits than EU ones, but have a much higher after tax compensation, even taking health care int

If you end your water fasts at 48h circa, you're missing out on most of the benefits as the body fully enters fasting mode past 36h-48h. So in a sense you're ending the fast when it is just getting started. Can't give you med

Thanks for sharing, I agree with what he says. I've reached a point in my career where i can essentially call the shots as far as engineering and even product direction is concerned. But recently had to do some consulting as an IC due

Maybe a contrarian view, but as someone very knowledgeable about .NET API backends + angular on the frontend, I've found that HTMX made things more difficult as it required me to move back to mixing presentation concerns with business-

I am growing tired of these pelicans posts every time a new model is published. Feels to me like low effort personal brand promotion. Just sharing my 2 cents.

Thanks for sharing that, very insightful. I definitely agree with your point of view.

Likely because they are a Java shop. All the IDEs they develop use Java, so they have quite an expertise in low level optimization for this language.

Exactly, it's funny how most Americans have no self-awareness on this topic. And beyond VCs, which are like massive subsidies funded by printed dollars to which no other country has access, even in industries like electric vehicles, Ch

Your hostile tone is unfortunate, especially since my post was actually friendly. I was just trying to point why it is very likely the OP won't give you what you're asking so you're not left confused if he ends up ghosting yo

That's a big ask. This kind of harness usually contains plenty of proprietary insights about their business. And also, nowadays, a good harness is a major competitive advantage.

I didn't take you seriously initially but after reading this, i think you are the real deal. Thank you for sharing this and for having the intellectual courage to hold to a sound reasoning that may be unpopular initially.

As someone who uses quite a couple of different AI providers (codex, glm, deepseek, claude premium among others), i've noticed that claude tends to move too fast and execute commands without asking for permission. For example, if i ask

Sometimes we STEM folks are way too rigid, I obviously meant "IN MY OPINION, GLM models are at this point superior to...". I do not think that anyone who read my comment understood it differently. But I grant you this point, this

I appreciate that it's not working for your use case but it's unfortunate that you dismiss the experience of others. And i am not chinese, I am European. Thanks for your feedback anyway.

I'e been using their models pretty much daily for the past 2 months to work on the codebase of a very complex B2B2C platform written in an unusual functional language (F#) with an angular frontend. I also use Claude premium daily for a

Except it does not work that way in the US, you can freely incorporate in any state without worrying about this kind of tax drama. The EU really needs to improve the integration of their single market, as this is precisely the kind of barri

I think you are making a big deal out of nothing: today adoption is tiny but there isn't any coordination problem. Anyone wanting to buy or sell bitcoins, even for very large amount has no problem doing so. As adoption increases, liqui

It does not need to be all or nothing though. It simply needs to be true for a large enough number of people, to create an extremely valuable market. We are over 8 billion on earth, even if as little as 1% of the population rely on it direc

I was referring to the need to be careful to not modify/update packages also used by the base system. Since all packages are treated the same on Linux, you often can't tell which package can put you in trouble if you update it alo

Yes you are right, it does not properly support NativeAOT yet. But it isn't a need for most use cases, unless you want to do mobile development and meet app store policies. But even then, mature F# frameworks like Fable transpile your

What you are looking for is called F#. You get native interop with C# and access to all .NET/C# libraries as a bonus. We use it as a daily driver for a complex B2B2C cloud platform.

Since storage is a critical component, I closely watched it and engaged with the project for about 2 years circa as i contemplated adding it to our project, but the project is still immature from a reliability perspective in my opinion. No
