I'd love to know what AOL's dial-up MAU for July 2025 was. I still remember when the first consumer v.56 modems came out. They were expensive but it felt so fast. We were living in the future.

Me too. I had a grandparent with AOL dial up until about 5 years ago. I was shocked when I visited her house and realized it.

The slippery slope is the one the payment processors have been sliding down for a while. Steam and itch dont want to pull these games. They dont have a choice.

As far as I understand, coding ability of AIs is now driven mostly entirely by RL, as well synthetic data generated by inference time compute combined with code execution tool use.

Coding is arguably the single thing least affected by a shortage of training data.

We're still in the very early steps of this new cycle of AI coding advancements.

Yeah... There are improvements to be made by increasing the context window and having agents reference documentation more. Half the issues I see are with agents just doing their own thing instead of following established best practices they could/should be referencing in a codebase or looking up documentation.

Which, believe it or not, is the same issue I see in my own code.

I believe this has been talked about a lot. Musk wasnt thrilled about this change but Tesla is, like it or not, the most recognizable electric car company in America. If you are dead set on going electric you are likely going to at least look at what Tesla has to offer. Because of that, the tax credit going away will impact them far less than other companies that people have to go out of their way to learn about and search for.

Now does a lot of that change because people might not buy teslas because they dont like Elon? Maybe? Who knows.

The Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza has about 600 calories in it. Maybe slightly indulgent, but that is a very reasonable reward and trade off for getting kids to read more.

Palantir Technologies is named after the "palantír" from Lord of the Rings. Famously, a well-used and safe technology.
