Funny, this is the one I found that looked good. Seems like I was going in the right direction.

Why? I am not sure photosynthesis plays a large role in the lower carbon footprint.

Fungi produce CO2 and sequester O2.

If the goal is reduced CO2, wouldn’t it be better to take aim at plants, rather than fungi?

I have been pushing SVG hard for a decade now, but to be honest AVIF is magic. It even crushes SVG file sizes.

The reverse is kind of true: In the beginning, SVGs were not really an option since it lacked adoption across all major browsers, or more specifically its integration was very heterogenous.

So a SVG you authored 20 years ago for some browser will likely work everywhere today.

Except in an email. Because email is pain.

True, and it could also be what the person has with the coffee. I have a feeling people that drink instant coffee are more likely to add milk, creamer, or sugar.

That said, instant coffee is just freeze-dried coffee. There's a possibility its effect is no different.

I think it’s typically a different species (Coffea canephora). So theoretically drinking bean tea of a different plant could have different health impacts.

  On October 1st OpenAI signed two simultaneous deals with Samsung and SK Hynix for 40% of the worlds DRAM supply... the shock wasn’t that OpenAI made a big deal, no, it was that they made two massive deals this big, at the same time, with Samsung and SK Hynix simultaneously! In fact, according to our sources - both companies had no idea how big each other's deal was, nor how close to simultaneous they were. And this secrecy mattered. It mattered a lot.

  Had Samsung known SK Hynix was about to commit a similar chunk of supply — or vice-versa — the pricing and terms would have likely been different. It’s entirely conceivable they wouldn’t have both agreed to supply such a substantial part of global supply if they had known more...but at the end of the day - OpenAI did succeed in keeping the circles tight, locking down the NDAs, and leveraging the fact that these companies assumed the other wasn’t giving up this much wafer volume simultaneously…in order to make a surgical strike on the global RAM supply chain…and it's worked so far...

  OpenAI isn’t even bothering to buy finished memory modules!  No, their deals are unprecedentedly only for raw wafers — uncut, unfinished, and not even allocated to a specific DRAM standard yet. It’s not even clear if they have decided yet on how or when they will finish them into RAM sticks or HBM!  Right now it seems like these wafers will just be stockpiled in warehouses – like a kid who hides the toybox because they’re afraid nobody wants to play with them, and thus selfishly feels nobody but them should get the toys!

Novice question: If they built something other than classic dram modules with the wafers maybe they could achieve faster bus speeds? How does Apple do it?

Painful read, this reads like it was written by AI.

The line is becoming very blurred to me, I did not really notice.

My startup builds agents for penetration testing, and this is the bet we have been making for over a year when models started getting good at coding. There was a huge jump in capability from Sonnet 4 to Sonnet 4.5. We are still internally testing Opus 4.5, which is the first version of Opus priced low enough to use in production. It's very clever and we are re-designing our benchmark systems because it's saturating the test cases.

I have a hotel software startup and if you are interested in showing me how good your agents are you can look us up at rook like the chess piece, hotel dot com
