Non-profits have treasury functions.. it is prudent that many of them have some sort of cash reserves.

That statement means nothing. You could say the exact same thing about Rails and have an equally defensible position. What about its architecture makes it better?

Been following the vesuvius challenge and to me this is nothing short of alien magic tech. Incredible work.

Apple was on the USB Implementers Forum that designed USB-C so.. I would say they could definitely be credited as a co-inventor of USB-C, they also introduced one of the first devices that used USB-C.

There are some studies that suggest human brain sizes have been shrinking over the last 20,000 years. The theory is that as civilization developed the demand for individual humans to be independently intelligent has weakened because we developed a "collective brain" and also self-domesticated to be more cooperative.

Yes. Absolutely. They will move more units and make more profit overall, and if they don't do it a competitor will.

We use headless browser providers because the companies we interact with don't and won't create a proper API for us to use. Lots of legacy web apps/portals. Saves thousands of man hours.

Everything is obvious in hindsight, but the data (and theory) at the time was that this had a really good shot at being the next big thing in a world where >90% of drugs never make it past clinical trials. 10% probability of success * $200B in lifetime sales (assuming a Keytruda level smash hit) means an EV of ~$20B or more. Not a surprise more than a few companies wanted a shot at it.

If you don't value your time sure. Pen and paper is also basically free and even simpler with no setup time..

Soooo.. not to sound like a luddite but to me the best dedicated writing device for me has been just pen and a notebook or a typewriter.

There are surprisingly many "portable" typewriter options out there (including electronic ones).

How so? Most of these companies will take a hit but will be fine Alphabet, Amazon, Google, etc can write off their entire investments in AI and will be a-OK. The pure AI companies will obviously be dead.

More like poorly structured loans and incentives.

What do you mean? Pandoras box has already been opened. Even if OpenAI disappears, there will be another one to take its marketshare. The tech is too useful to die

I wouldn't blame that incident on Railway.. you can delete your prod database on AWS just as easily with their API.

Been a customer with them for over a year now, small incidents here and there but never anything this major.

Not strange, Google has never had a proper support team unless you are an "Enterprise" level customer.

They run a decent amount of their own compute/bare metal server for customer workloads. But likely still had some critical dependencies on GCP.

Absolutely dumb take. There are plenty of very bright and talented people that would have made excellent teachers but chose different career paths because - surprise surprise - the pay is better.

Yep, the COP goes down as the temperature goes up, and at a certain point it's not worthwhile increasing the temperature.
