I'm done with sony, forever. Cameras, consoles, whatever, I'm just done. Goodbye!

I feel like we've already had this discussion with respect to Crypto; crypto used more energy than banks (which proved to be false, but whatever); and water. Now AI uses magnitude more energy than crypto (or humans) and somehow they're now saying it's okay?

Napkin maths.

Alphabet: ~$4.5T value / ~$403B revenue ≈ 11× revenue

Microsoft: ~$2.9T value / ~$282B revenue ≈ 10× revenue

OpenAI: ~$850B value / ~$13B revenue ≈ 65× revenue

Can someone explains that logic?

pretty cool!

How long before github deletes all repos? or make private repos public? and such and such?

I wish you a fast and full recovery.

No thanks, I'd rather use linux.

Stocks aren't prediction markets, but options and futures are.

Do you want to hear what the execs are doing about it from a trusted source instead of a marketing person: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47216047#47223342

I'd take a dm42n over any Ti anyday.

I don't have a prime, but agreed on 48gx + dm42n without a doubt. I'd add the 50g as another contender, doesn't depend so much on external memory cards (which have the tendency to fail) and is fairly aligned with the 48/49 line.

Soon there will be ads on Github, you'll see.

@haileys I would love to see that on ArcaOS! I bet it can't be done.

OpenAI is a few years behind Anthropic, and it's unlikely they'll catch up at this point.

Give it a year or two, and apple or any other hardware will have unified memory OR AMD will have a good offering to run all that stuff locally. It won't be as good as Claude, but it'll do for 90% of the things. It will be expensive as first, just like the first mainframes, then give it another 5 years or so, and it'll be affordable.

Microsoft will buy OpenAI for $500B, rebrand it as Microsoft AI.

those tote bags are the town's talk!!!

probably got simswapped, but personal emails should hold no work-related information, so this is not a huge deal is it?

one cursor for you one cursor for claude code :)

I've used xv from the mid-nineties until now, I still have it on my desktop, it's been 30 years, there's just no viable replacement IMHO.

RIP John.

after about 10+ years in the Apple ecosystem, I'm completely done, my next machine is linux and my next phone is android.

My company is now removing all microsoft products, all of it. Laptops are moving to OSX. Office365->Gmail+G-suite. Zoom->Google meet. Fortunately we don't use Azure or Github, so that will make the transition easier.

Take a look at Swissmicros' DM42n + DB48x.

In business, the “best” solution doesn’t win—the one that aligns with incentives does. You can argue Linux is technically better than Windows, but Windows wins in many orgs because of familiarity, vendor support, existing tooling, and lower perceived risk. Adoption beats superiority.

I’ve included this here because it’s highly relevant to the discussion. That said, anything not closely tied to revenue will not be prioritized, which limits the impact of this microsoft post.

I recently had dinner in Bellevue with an individual who holds a relatively senior position within Microsoft’s executive leadership. During our conversation, she emphasized repeatedly that Microsoft does not primarily view its offerings as consumer products. According to her, the company’s leadership is strongly focused on B2B strategy, with revenue growth driven mainly by Azure, AI, and enterprise solutions. Her perspective was that consumer-facing products are not the primary revenue drivers and, therefore, are not central to executive priorities. While this may not be surprising to some, what stood out to me was how emphatically she underscored that the company’s strategic focus is squarely on enterprise customers rather than end users.

That said, this business model has historically proven effective for companies such as IBM. Microsoft allocates its resources toward segments that offer meaningful revenue growth.
