I am also very curious what the actual cost of this is, esp. if you are not an Anthropic employee and have to pay the API cost.

On a side note, what is your take on AVIF vs WebP? I recently moved my site to 11ty and looking to re-encode several hundreds of images. I do want to keep the quality of the photos as much as I can, while reducing the network load.

I think there is a fundamental idea that the only way to measure success of companies is the monetary value to shareholders. US companies optimize for that and they cannot believe other countries/cultures would have a different value s

Neurodivergent is not just one thing. Are there people on the autism spectrum at leadership level? - Steve Jobs was considered to be one even though he was not formally diagnosed as one. Are there people on ADD/ADHD spectrum at leaders

I guess you have not been to LinkedIn in a while :) The fact he did not even spot the actual problem is worrying. Did someone know that the button color was changed in the new version of the software?

I do not remember where I read this, but it has struck with me for the last 35+ years - "Poverty is a crime, but the poor are not guilty of it". I have seen abject poverty growing up in India.. It is right in your face most of the

Looking at the graph in the article, it starts falling off from 2010 and it is actually on a uptick in last year. A honest reading would be that internet has increased access to information and AI is obfuscating it again.

As in, you witnessed 5 murders or 5 people you know got killed/happened near you etc? If so, I do not know how to tell you that this sounds insane..

From what I am reading, that is not the final price.. that is the room price and they add a ton of fees to that price

Winning is different from taking over.. Russia wants to rule over Ukraine, not destroy it. US was all into destroying Afghanistan and Iraq. They had no intention of being there long term.

You know senior developers can also be off-shored, right?

A tariff across the board is same as a sales tax (rather a value added tax, as it is dependent on the value of goods). I would love to understand why you think it is punitive for the ultra rich.

Where does it say logistics shortage? A shortage of mercy and empathy is more like it.

Further, the tariffs have not be implemented across the board. There were only the threats. If and when they are implemented, we will see how all of this falls out.

I am a bit confused.. If you are willing to work at Applebee's for minimum wage job, then you are employed. Why should you be considered unemployed? If you all you can find are the minimum wage jobs and you choose not to work there, th

I think the discussions are also missing another key element. The time in takes to read someone else code is way more mentally tiring. When I am writing the code, my mind tracks what I have done and the new pieces flow. When I am reading co

I do not know if you will see this.. however, the consequence is faced by the society for electing someone. It is not that the republican voters face something separate. If you agree that the actions of the current administration are detrim

Maybe they think Harvard will replace international students with american ones? Poor foreign workers are taking away our jobs, and rich foreign students are taking away our education argument??

Voters face the consequence for their voting. So, in that meaning, they are responsible for the actions of the representatives.

Paolo - I read your article, but I disagree with a few fundamental assumptions. 1. There is an implicit assumption that small changes in product behavior is a small change in the underlying code. 2. AI will increase productivity by a huge a

If you are staying with your parents, I do not think Medicaid covers you. I do not see where you get < $50 for car insurance when you are under 26. Assuming a family like June Huh, they are much more likely to live in urban areas which d

Exactly this!! US has a very lone-wolf culture. In India, it is perfectly normal for an adult to live with parents and I am assuming SK is similar. The money aspect is overblown a lot. While typing it, I realized it is actually more expensi

I do not know how much more "China bad, US good" this can get. Choice quotes: “Many Chinese [nationals] have handlers; they [CCP] want to know everything that's going on at Stanford. This is a very normal thing. They just rel

Is it surprising that the places with more conflicts has poor reporting ranking (according to this model)? A media control does not need government to act openly. A mind-numbing patriotism can be as effective. Look at US reporting on the af

The 5 - 10 million Congolese who died under Belgian rule is probably much higher as a percentage of the population than the great leap forward. Great leap forward killed 4% of Chinese population. Vietnam war killed 10% - 12% of people in Vi

Why is "democratically elected" so important? Democracies can also kill a lot of people. Hitler was democratically elected, so is Netanyahu. If you are so inclined, one was had good intentions, but backfired badly while other is e

The trade deadlock is not about fentanyl. The sooner we admit the truth to ourselves, the lesser it will hurt.
