That Amazon story is a misnomer. They just saw an opportunity with the tech and hardware they had to make a new offering for customers. It's not like they could just offer their spare capacity, then eg at peak US time snatch it back for the retail site

Of course spinning up a hello world of anything is easy. Now introduce monitoring, change controls, version upgrades, multiple environments and regions

It's not that it's necessarily complex. But if you don't need it, don't use it. The business could use your time elsewhere

Yeah exactly this is right. In the same way that we don't get an LLM to write the HTML for each request, but we do get an LLM to write the code to make the HTML

True, but this was a problem long before AI (read this article, met this guy at a conference who told me x, my boss said blah)

AI probably exacerbates it but crappy managers exist regardless

Surely credit card has a terrible fee attached no? Just based on other services

It's not just Norway. Here in Australia many modern style schools were leaning hard into the digitized classroom era in the 2010s. Now slowly they're realizing their mistake

The problem is, a lot of the parents have bought into the digital parenting age too. They were told ipads etc were part of getting the best education for their kid. Now they're fighting hard on rolling it back (not least because they can't comprehend that it's a problem, that their child can't focus 5 minutes without a device)

"we'll get lower prices that justify unemploying a bunch of people"

isn't this proven to be true? better for the country, worse for a small amount of directly affected people?

I doubt it lets see who's right. 2028 r&d is it higher or lower than 2026.

> R&D cost is static

since when? do you think their R&D in 2026 is the same as in 2022?
willsmith72
·قبل 25 يومًا·discuss
but why is that a feasible hypothetical?

Just 10x your revenue without increasing R&D cost? where's this 1 magic trick and why can't every company just use it?

Made a ski book for babies (for my son initially), got some printed: https://shredcrew.ski/ski-with-me

And the feedback dashboard I always wished existed, with plenty of integrations, low pricing, prioritization + clustering, and auto-PRs

What's the actual verdict on who reported it?

The article is writing as if Amazon did a complex analysis and then reported it.

But the latest reporting id read was it was not a jailbreak, and reported by the ceo (not the old technical CEO btw, the new bizdev guy)

Ok after 2 hours.. I really miss fable. Opus is fine, Fable just got it.

silly or corrupt?

Yeah same here, it's a huge step up for me. Curious why people are having such different experiences. Is it just to do with what they're working on? Specific prompt styles (eg overfitting on opus)?

Nice thanks for the info. 48gb ram would be a dream

Yeah I go back and forth using more or less sessions. Was always a fan of kanban, less WIP better, but some sessions are just slow so I end up starting new ones.

Thanks for all your work and books, Lean Startup was invaluable to me starting my career in 2017 working in a feature factory.

You've probably talked about this before, but with AI speeding up product "delivery" (especially prototypes), what changes have you seen to the lean startup methodology? Is it possible to supercharge the build measure learn loop?

And what good uses for AI have you seen to keep teams "building things people want"?
