I don’t understand why anyone is jumping to conclusions about anything before anyone has driven it.
A Ferrari is about driving, and while it wouldn’t surprise me that the driving experience is generally the same as most EVs I’m unwilling to dismiss this based on looks alone.
Large Apache ecosystem (Spark, Flink, Pinot) is completely missing and third-party SDKS (looking at you AWS) almost ALWAYS have worse SDKs. The java Kinesis consumer and producer libraries are amazing, the ones for C# are simple wrappers around the AWS APIs which means there's a few foot guns waiting for developers to run into, even if they should know better.
The speed is really cool but the fact that your rules are written as rust code meaning that new rules need a new binary. That might be fine but just wanted to point it out to anyone who's interested.
> A huge number of people are convinced that OpenAI and Anthropic are selling inference tokens at a loss despite the fact that there's no evidence this is true and a lot of evidence that it isn't.
I think it’s fairly obvious that Anthropic is lighting cash on fire and focusing on whether or not they’re losing money per token on inference is missing the forest for the trees.
Tokens become less valuable when the models aren’t continuously trained and we have zero idea what Anthropic is paying for training.
Have you never run a team of software engineers as a lead? Agentic coding comes naturally to a lot of people because that's PRECISELY what you do when you're leading a team, herding multiple brains to point them in the same direction so when you combine all their work it becomes something that is greater than the sum of it's parts.
Lots of the complains about agents sound identical to things I've heard and even said myself about junior engineers.
That said, there's always going to need to be people who can reach below the abstraction and agentic coding loops deprive you of the ability to get those reps in.
Nobody is talking about banning anything, we’re talking specifically about holding social media companies accountable for marketing to children a product that is knowingly addictive and potentially harmful to their health.
Part of the issue with social media is that no reasonable parent lets their 12 year old watch porn or drink but Instagram and ticktock are on a lot more 12 year old’s phone’s than you realize. Social media has network effects and creates tremendous social pressure to not make your kid “different” when half the classroom is sharing TikToks.
I’m not conservative in the slightest but I see no reason to treat social media any differently than alcohol, tobacco or gambling. Available without restriction to adults but limited to children under a certain age.
I think people are overreacting about what amounts to a patent. There's no evidence if BMW will actually use this and if they do how.
I'm not defending BMW here but there was a similar freak-out a few years ago about heated seats requiring monthly payments that ended up being a giant nothing burger.
There’s a million reasonable situations where this pattern could arise because of you want to encapsulate a domain behind a micro service.
Take the simplest case of a CRM system a service provides search/segmentation and CRUD on top of customer lists. I can think of a million ways other services could use that data.
I don’t think renting or buying makes a difference in communities. I had a much better relationship with my neighbors when I rented vs now where I own my own home.
I chalk up the difference to the fact that a lot of people my age couldn’t afford to live where I moved so my neighborhood is full of wealthier older people who I have nothing in common with.
Whether or not it’s well put together is another topic entirely.
