It's facetious when people question why BlackSky need to exist 40+ years after the "14 words" and in the age where White Christian Nationalism is completely mask-off.

HN often tolerates dog whistles about how school kids bussed from "the had part of town" are a net-negative, but BlackSky is suddenly the bad type of segregation? GTFOH.

> I'm going to guess that you're used to codebases that use an autoformatter.

I'm used to Python code being "Pythonic" - which is one of those "I know it when I see it" terms.

You missed my point entirely. There was real value created during the dotcom boom too: Amazon, eBay, PayPal, Google, etc did not 'create fake problems'. Amidst the pearls of real value, were dozens/hundreds of overvalued, dogshit companies which never get a ROI for their investors, and the even marginally useful companies went under when the market correction hit.

There will be the WebVans of the AI boom era, we just don't know their names yet. There also will be Ciscos and Suns that will never reach their high-water mark ever again, or become obsolete in a few years, and sold for less that what people expect.

Back in the dotcom boom years, Internet adoption growth was real - with a lot of people and businesses paying real money to get online. And yet, the dotcom bust happened. The existence of paying customers adopting a technology does not assure the sustainability of the industry at any point in time.

Sonnet 3.5 is the best non-Chain-of-Thought code-authoring model. When paired with R1's CoT output, Sonnet 3.5 performs even better - outperforming vanilla R1 (and eveything else), which suggests Sonnet is better than R1 at utilizing R1's CoT.

It's scenario where the result is greater than the sum of it's parts

Unless Cursor had agreed to an exclusivity agreement with Anthropic, Antropic was (and still is) at risk of Cursor moving to a different provider or using their middleman position to train/distill their own model that competes with Anthropic.
