I fondly remember programming my Amstrad CPC 464, my first computer, in 1984 in Malta when I was ~11 years old. It booted straight into Locomotive Basic. Still remember my excitement at getting it to draw a circle on the screen for the first time. Good times.

> In a few years, there will be hardware capable of running frontier models good enough for most things at accessible prices for even tiny companies.

What makes you so confident about this prediction? Hardware costs haven't exactly been cratering recently.

Can they actually make money at these prices?

The EVs I'd really like to see some day in the US are the dirt cheap 100 mile range $5k Chinese EVs.

One can dream I guess.

Some redundant words there perhaps.

As it pertains to AI, I think we will eventually come around to the conclusion that consciousness is not a useful construct.

> Claude Design empowers non-designers to make decent designs. It’s not aimed at designers.

Well, when you put it that way, that sounds bad for designers, and, by extension, Figma.

ps. I do like commas.

They state the link is claude.ai/design, which currently goes to:

Page not found Claude can help with many things, but finding this page isn’t one of them.

I'm far from a crypto expert but aren't costs largely GPUs and electricity here?

Those are now being driven by massive AI demand and are likely to remain so for the forseeable future. So how would costs go down?

Perhaps they'll pro-rate it by size.

That depends to a large extent on whether & when the bots will be endowed with spending power.

No, not just according to those factions. From the same CBS News article:

> The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency has recorded more than 7,000 killings, with the vast majority being protesters, while warning the toll could be far higher.

Neither CBS News nor this agency are friends of the factions you mention. Facts are stubborn things.

Breaking a country's immigration laws does come with consequences, yes, at least if the government is willing to enforce to said laws, as it should be. Previously we had governments that weren't.

If you have a problem with those laws and think our borders should be wide open, that's of course a different matter, and one you should take up with Congress, which makes the laws.

I think those laws should be changed by the way, to be much friendlier towards Hispanic immigrants. They share our cultural values and are easy for the US to assimilate in my opinion, so long as they're properly vetted for obvious criminal behavior, ability and motivation to work, etc.

What it gave the US was an added incentive to take down what is unarguably one of the world's most evil and dangerous regimes.

Would you attack the US because they "murdered" thousands of Germans to take down Hitler in WW2?

From that article, on CBS News which isn't exactly known for being a fan of this administration:

"Rights groups said the trio were executed without a fair trial and had given confessions under torture."

They did however murder thousands of protesters in their own streets in January, and who knows how much more dissidents over the years.

This one was just this week: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-execution-teen-wrestler-ja...

So there's that.
