Foobar8568··on Anthropic's internal AI use, at retail prices, now exceeds its employee pay
In a lot of companies, you would get charges back on usage/license/cost and this can get even funnier in NGOs.

In a similar way, internal employees would have also a "standard daily rate" like an external employee.

Foobar8568··on AI isn't replacing SREs, it's deskilling them
For the last 10 years, I don't think I met a lot of senior architects or dev who could understand all that.

Companies loves to have "specialized experts" who skilled up in one afternoon in their field. It might be different in startup, but in consulting world in relatively large enterprises, it's just a fucking joke.

Foobar8568··on Patrick Stewart has died
The 70s-90s was basically the boom of international stars, with a highly limited media ventures, so everyone with a TV would be aware of them, at least in the western world.

Foobar8568··on How is music possible
Well don't read anything related to music analysis, or something I discovered this week https://cklixx.people.wm.edu/teaching/math400/Chris.pdf or for some books : "Exploring Musical Spaces. A Synthesis of Mathematical Approaches" or "Generalized Musical Intervals and Transformation"

Foobar8568··on If you don't run your own LLM proxy, how do you know whats going on?
Companies still believe they have IP to protect. Even when all they do are basic CRUD systems or on the verge of collapsing if they don’t renew some contracts.
Foobar8568··on The game industry is broken – can we fix it?
Especially given that Everquest had done that for a few years and was a major revenue stream. That was a 200% "MBA" decision.

Foobar8568··on Firefox Enterprise
I gotta love to get "for security/safety" reasons, and yet I get ads on anything served. Bonus points for YouTube.
Foobar8568··on Were software engineers blue-collar workers all along?
But eventually, do you really care? Are you using only software that you developed? For decades we outsourced software development to third parties, to place where people have never seen a line of code, without code review and dubious software development practice. Whole F100 organizations were running on that type of software development.

Foobar8568··on Pi 1.0
Well, according to claude and Jevbench, Qwen 3.6 35b with ninfer on a RTX 5090@480W is like 3-5 time slower but 10%-15% better performance on the public set, I could see prefill > 15k for 700-800decode. Latency against what and which hardware? I don't really get jev...

As a non googler, I understood it as "is it webscale" type of jokes.
