You bought a hardware device and you own that device?

This decoy notes scheme seems pretty unethical.

I wouldn't take claude research at face value. It found something odd, came up with a plausible sounding explanation and confidently presented it to OP. Doesn't mean it is true.

Sure, that goes without saying. That aside, if it is true, the point stands. The word “seems” already covered your point, fwiw.

Apart from model performance, what harness are people using to come close to Claude Code or Codex workflow styles with tool use, conversations, loops, remote control, etc.?

and more specifically - what harness is known to be the best fit for Qwen local models, and are there any evals/benchmarks for harness+model pairs?

I’ve noticed that when a developer cries foul over an Apple App Store rejection, it often seems to be a red flag that there is something fishy about that developer. Gruber, not to his credit, often does not give Apple the benefit of the doubt on these matters. imho he bears some responsibility if he feels duped.

...and I've noticed that's not always the case. What's the value of such a bland whitewashing comment?

Sure, glad to clarify. The value is to point out something that I’ve noticed a lot of people miss as conversations about App Store rejections tend to take a knee-jerk negative attitude toward Apple. Considering the opposite possibility would clear up a lot of false conceptions and raise the quality of discussions.

Nice work! I got lost in a clouds only view after setting my location but I’m sure I’ll figure it out, the first couple flights were over an unfamiliar area but worked fine.

Are you saying nobody should ever do anything with any tool if they cannot reasonably do it without the tool?

I mean personal blogs I agree the writing portion should be personal but does that go for everything? Maybe the author should take the emoji off his page(??!!)

Cloud procider revenue is generally understood to be highly durable and safe because it is associated with both diversified customers and workloads which are expected to be reasonably constant in aggregate.

Zitron's point is thay OpenAI and Anthropic have generated considerable sector concentration in GCP and Azure. If the LLM sector were to contract in volume, this concentration could harm cloud providers financials more than what would normally be expected based upon their prior revenue streams.

27% of GCS revenue this year was from OpenAI and antropic, last years was 47%. With all the cross self dealing, this isnt a revenue source thats going to stay stable.

Title should not use a minus sign before the dollar amount, that’s super confusing.

Corrected thanks!

Sorry for the meta comment but: Why is such a useful comment “flagged dead” on what appears to be an interesting and pertinent post?

dang, any comments on what could be going on here?

I get it that there may be some indirect promotion happening but that’s natural when information is shared and this doesn’t seem like egregious spam.

In the “the name got reused” section the article missed the Subaru usage of it.

No. We’ve tried that for decades now and it hasn’t worked out very well for getting the world connected. The entire rural earth has been neglected. Even in silicon valley my neighborhood only got fiber this year and its saddled with crappy TV bundle deals, bad mobile apps built with wrapped web pages, poor service, and we-will-sell-your-data anti privacy provisions. Starlink has none of that.

I still don't see why it should be one man rather than commonly owned infrastructure.

So, communism?

No. A utility like power and water can be private but regulated so that it can’t extract monopoly rent. Or you can create an ecosystem of providers on top of the public infrastructure.

Not necessarily, but in any case not a monopoly. E.g. Elon Musk now owns all highways: better or worse? Some distributed ownership seems useful as it distributes power accordingly.

Perhaps a public company then? The symbol could be SPCX. Maybe give some shares to US citizens, like in special accounts maybe? This is sounding oddly familiar.

A public company with weak corporate governance where the board rubber stamps whatever the CEO wants and that CEO happens to own 40% of the stock and 80% of the voting control doesn’t respond to any public concerns. That is a strength. It does allow Elon to execute strategy that might not have public support. That’s also a lot of power to place in the hands of one person.

As Aristotle said, all forms of government have a good form and a corrupt form. A just king can be highly effective and create human flourishing but a bad king is highly destructive. A good democracy and tyranny of the mob majority are equivalent. We need checks and balances in all forms of human organization. SpaceX has no checks or at least is on a path to where there will be none.

Elon recently said, if his plans go as expected, SpaceX will be more valuable the earth. And he is right. How is humanity going to have checks and balances when that happens?

Bezos and others will balance Elon. Be glad it’s Elon and not Walz or Hans Dieter. And AIs will be in place doing who knows what, so all our current governance will probably be out the window.

Yeah, I don't know how this whole ARPANET thing is really going to play out...

Looks like you stopped reading after the first sentence.

Or if not, what am I missing?
