Open source doesn't mean "anyone can use the source code commercially". Open weights similarly doesn't mean the weights can be used for anything. It just means the weights are open for anyone to download and inspect.

China's behavior makes sense if they consider both Russia and Ukraine (the latter being a proxy for the west) to be enemies of some sort. Let your enemies fight each other and waste resources while you yourself profit.

The same can be said about the US <> EU/Russia in this conflict. Why bother helping Ukraine/Europe win the war if you consider them at least partly hostile? Better to let them fight your own enemy (Russia) and trade with both sides to your own advantage.

Or they got lucky, or they took the capital from others by force or stole it.

The EU is not a fiscal union. It is also not yet a single capital market.

Adyen and PayPal aren’t far off. Certainly close (~1.6T). That said, the gap is growing, stripe is growing faster.

You may think it's obvious, but what about users who cannot read code? Even better if you also have the LLM automatically write tests for this code, with comments of its own! Now whenever you want to change something, the LLM needs to update it in 4 separate places, reducing the risk of making mistakes because it has to quadruple-check its edits. Of course that means you spend a bit more on tokens, but you have a much higher chance of your PRs getting accepted because it looks like you went the extra mile.

In the 1800s most families only had a single provider, so this percentage may have been higher back then than it is now.

A 36% success rate on screwing in a light bulb means there's probably something to LeCunn's take that VLM/VLA models aren't going to be the thing powering tomorrow's robots, but only time will tell.

Twitter is the “hype machine”. It’s basically the advertising arm disguised as a social media company.

At SpaceX’s valuation, even a 1-2% increase in share price due to some astroturfing on the platform they themselves own basically pays back the cost of acquiring twitter.

We're also shareholders in all other publicly traded stocks (assuming you're referring to pension schemes etc), which means competition in the AI model market is better than a few winners making everyone paying through their nose for access. Even better, open weights models which cannot be disabled on a whim means the entire world economy can benefit.

6USD per year adds about 0.016USD per day. Definitely more, still pretty cheap.

The obvious response is the realization that spending trillions on training LLMs is not a viable business model if they can be distilled for a much lower cost.

Especially if thinking is hidden now. No way to know if the model plotted against you until it’s too late.

The main reason for adding a daily puzzle (or really the seeded RNG) is that part of the game loop is retrying the same seed to find the best lines for that map. Since all pieces are deterministic, we've found it fun to retry the same map to see if a different line works better. It also adds a competitive/multiplayer element to the game, rather than it just being for single player use.

I think both "play styles" make sense, we've just found it more fun to share with friends this way!

Just fixed this, let me know if you run into more issues.

Admittedly some of the auxiliary features were made with Claude's help, but I'd argue that's not what makes this interesting. The game (core loop, sprites, etc) were all made by hand.

The passkey feedback is good though, I see a few more people have had issues with it. I'll have a look at fixing it!

It was a matter of time I suppose. Would love to see the solver!

There is some polish with Claude over the past few weeks, but we wrote the engine over 10 years ago actually. Each piece moves using a modified version of A* to simply find the shortest path to Prince Chazz (the piece controlled by the player).

TNO literally stands for "Dutch Organisation for Applied Scientific Research" (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk).

Pretty sure salaries at large tech companies are way higher in places like London, Zurich or Amsterdam than in Warsaw or Prague for example. Berlin may be closer to the eastern countries.

It might help to discuss actual ranges instead of "intimate experience" so we can tell if your experience matches reality.

Agreed, this is the main reason why I keep switching back to other editors.

Isn't it much simpler than that? Dividends and profits are taxed. Reinvesting to grow revenue isn't. That's why you see companies doing stock buybacks; prevents them from paying taxes, prevents their shareholders from paying taxes.

This only holds if you understand what's in the tests, and the tests are realistic. The moment you let the LLM write the tests without understanding them, you may as well just let it write the code directly.

It's easy to make that mistake reading your post because of sentences like

> I want to convince you that all of these things (except true master-less p2p architecture) are easily doable without CRDTs

> But what if you’re using CRDTs? Well, all these problems are 100x harder, and none of these mitigations are available to you.

It sure sounds a lot like you're calling CRDTs in general needlessly complex, not just the yjs-prosemirror integration.

That's a cynical take, but a more positive interpretation is that pivots are needed if your company isn't actually solving a problem. Otherwise people would pay for it, and the founders would be getting rich. So you need to pivot until you actually create a solution to a problem that people will pay for.

If Apple started routing all iPhone/Mac traffic through some anonymizing VPN by default, services that block it would absolutely lose lots of customers.

But wallets aren't associated with a real person by default, unless it's created through some service that does KYC. If you can get anonymous tokens in an anonymous wallet, who cares if the transactions are public?

UIs made in the HyperText Markup Language are, in fact, text.

* only in the middle of the day, when the real price of that electricity may be negative, so it's still sold at a profit

That's a bit rich coming from Cloudflare, a company that routinely blocks access to important and legitimate websites to huge parts of the world. A huge part of Cloudflare's customers use them specifically to block users' access to websites.
