This is entirely possible with Claude as it existed even last year.

The LLMs are quite good at re-writes and even better when provided an 'oracle' like a well rounded test suite or existing implementation to work against.

Its part of the reason we keep seeing "I rewrote <library> in <language>" posts on hackernews and when you look at the repo its more like I prompted claude to rewrite this repo in rust or whatever.

Cloudflare is a public company.

The incentives do not allow it to look more than a year (and in a lot of cases a quarter) down the road.

Technically yes, IBM just got sued successfully for it.

That said they just settled the case for what happened in 2016. So you might be right and even win but that wont help you for a decade (assuming you win at all)

You can but they are much better slow roasted or sous vide.

Like veal with a nice Chianti.

Both of those are true assuming the lay offs come from different demographics.

You lay off 1100 who are late in their career for younger people who will work more hours for less.

You're building the future with new fresh people instead of the "dead weight"

It is also interesting because you get people with very different use cases arguing about the effectiveness of various models but doing very different things with them.

Its one things for a model to be very clearly instructed to add a REST endpoint to an existing Django app and add a button connected to it on the front vs "Design me a youtube". The smaller models can pretty dependably do the first and fall flat on the second.

The longer you wait the more painful the switch will eventually be.

I assume they mean an actual roller ball (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Contura )

It is still a crazy question though because if you seen most laptops in the last 15 years there is basically no room for them except on the large workstation thinkpads or large gaming laptops.

> They put R&D resources toward not getting as many tickets and eventually fix their software to not get tickets?

Why would you assume they would do that?

What if the autonomous vehicle only blows a red and kills someone every once and a while and the lawyers to tie the family up in court are cheaper than the software dev and ai training to fix it?

Are you willing to wait until the number of dead people exceeds the cost of the fix?

Its an extreme example I know but to just assume they would fix it also assumes they are caught and ticketed 100% of the time.

There are tons of examples of corporate America weighting the pros and cons of things like this.

The other thing to consider is that while China is known for making cheap items for the American market (because that is what Americans want) they have become experts in the tool and die needed to make those cheap items.

If you want top class injection molding tooling / machines or process you are probably going to contract a Chinese company to do it.

Noctua are pricey but they also provide service that is in my experience unmatched.

We have a few hundred of their coolers in use and I have never had an issue getting warranty replacements from them with fans. The process is simple and they ship out a new fan ( I have warrantied probably 10 - 15 of the fans)

At some point though those tickets need to actually hurt and no be just a cost of doing business.

After enough violations humans get their license taken away. What happens after autonomous vehicle get enough violations?

Scaling vertically does not mean you cant have fault tolerance and I feel like your comment just makes my point.

The other thing is that now a days you scale way way further vertically before you scale horizontally (assuming you are not using a cloud provider)

Everyone is hung up making their shit "scalable" like its a systems design interview at google in 2010.

Now a days you get a box with 600+ cores and 4TB of RAM. That is going to cover a very very large percentage of most enterprises.

That is what was infuriating.

It was paid for through code assist enterprise and had all the flags enabled for the "preview" models. Still the only way to get gemini 3+ was to open and close the application 5 to 10 times and sometimes you would get 3 for a bit and then get dumped back to 2.5 and no matter what you do it would not use 3.

I tossed it after spending like 3 hours total messing around the google cloud console and trying a bunch of shit from the github issues. The other offerings don't waste my time (or waste less of it anyway). If they want me to beta test their shit they shouldn't charge for it.

I tried gemini-cli.

While the model was "ok" everything else was trash.

Constant 429s or 502s for "reasons".

10 different ways to try and pay for the stupid thing and none of them clear.

My favourite was as a paying customer I could not get it to use the latest model. Sometimes it would but most times it would dump me to 2.5.

All of my experience is exactly the opposite of the gp comment is saying.

The gemini-cli repo is gong show too https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli

Same way all big companies do, start changing what "search" means and including things under "search" that you might not think belongs there.

This is already how email works in the corporate world.

A writes email with chatgpt to B.

B sees big blob of text and summarizes email with chatgpt.

Adding an LLM in the middle is just the next step.

I would like one for the vram but I am sure they will be unobtainable after the initial stock sells out as I assume they were produced before the RAM prices went up.

They do say that hearing loss in old age can speed degradation, or maybe it is just correlated.

> Mental atrophy due to less learning/thinking, isolation, loss of meaning and purpose happens first.

Except early onset Alzheimers happens and it also happens to plenty of people for which none of those are true.

I feel like big / old companies thrive on process and are bogged down in bureaucracy.

Sure there is a process to get a library approved, and that abstraction makes you feel better but for the guy who's job it is to approve they are not going to spend an entire day reviewing a lib. The abstraction hides what is essentially a "LGTM" its just that takes a week for someone to check it off their outlook todos.

Maybe your experience is different.

I use CC, and I understand what caching means.

I have no idea how that works with a LLM implementation nor do I actually know what they are caching in this context.

A lot of people are provided their access through work.

They don't actually pay the bill or see it.

It really depends.

The bigger agcorps have tones of integration.

The machine, from tractor to combine and everything in between often feeds data together to produce a holistic understanding.

Things like - How much fuel was used - Where your tractors and sprayers drove - Soil samples and content - How and where every bit of chemical and fertilizer was applied - What weather hit your field - How much and and the moisture content of every bit of the field you harvested

It goes on an on.

Plenty of options for putting auto steer on a dumb tractor already exist.

I suppose it depends on what you use it for (doesnt look 1 to 1 for cloud to local) but it looks like both have offerings in the space

https://www.3ds.com/cloud

https://www.solidworks.com/product/solidworks-xdesign

but like I said I just see what gets advertised at me in youtube ads

Im not really in the space but all the CAD things I see lately are browser based "cloud offerings"

Im not sure is CAD stuff is just served by a basic graphics card at this point or if there is some server side work going on.

OS doesnt mean that much when every industry decided that Chrome was going to be their VM

Sure any single one but there are many companies, some with hundreds of satellites in orbit at any given time who will point it where ever if you pay them enough

Which is why you get things like this https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/05/satellite-firm-planet-labs-t...

An aircraft carrier is not that fast, if you see it once you know roughly what radius of circle it is going to be in for a while (ignoring the fact that they are likely going somewhere for a reason its not their job is to say out of sight)

edit: aha that company literally lists it on their website https://www.planet.com/industries/maritime/

A carrier battle group can easily be seen and tracked by commercial satellite constellations.

At minimum they travel with 6 or 7 ships and leave a wake a mile long and they only go tens of miles an hour, it isnt a speed boat.

Here is an Indian carrier (formerly Russian) on google maps and the US ones are large https://www.google.com/maps/place/14%C2%B044'30.3%22N+74%C2%...

I think people forget how many satellites are pointed at all parts of the planet. They are used for crop reporting and weather and all sorts of shit. It isnt the 1960s where only the super powers have them and they drop rolls of film.
