Pretend for a moment that capital investors do any work. Can AI replace that work?

The investment bankers I know worked harder than any software developer to get where they are.

Tried this out with Cline using my own API key (Cerebras is also available as a provider for Qwen3 Coder via via openrouter here: https://openrouter.ai/qwen/qwen3-coder) and realized that without caching, this becomes very expensive very quickly. Specifically, after each new tool call, you're sending the entire previous message history as input tokens - which are priced at $2/1M via the API just like output tokens.

The quality is also not quite what Claude Code gave me, but the speed is definitely way faster. If Cerebras supported caching & reduced token pricing for using the cache I think I would run this more, but right now it's too expensive per agent run.

the API price is not very relevant to this flat fee service announcement.

In fact it seems obvious that you should use the flat fee model instead

If that is true, and there is no other BGP shenanigans, then I suspect this dependency will not be around for long

My WAG is it comprises 95% of the company infrastructure

this tool crushes the aws cli by an order of magnitude. So in this case it's warranted.

> For downloads, s5cmd can saturate a 40Gbps link (~4.3 GB/s)

I'm surprised by these claims. I have worked pretty intimately with S3 for almost 10 years now, developed high performance tools to retrieve data from it, as well as used dedicated third party tools for performant file download tailored for S3.

My experience is that individual S3 connections are capped over the board at ~80MB/s, and the throughput of 1 file is capped at 1.6GB/s (at least per ec2 instance). At least I have never managed myself nor seen any tool capable of going beyond that.

My understanding is then that this benchmark's claims of 4.3GB/s are across multiple files, but then it would be rather meaningless, as it's free concurrency basically.

It works with single files

Also you should up your chunk size to limit tps

I really appreciate Stephen's mixture of skepticism combined with genuine interest in experimenting with these tools. Most MCP posts I've read have been so much hype I've been left with no clue what MCP actually does. This is the first article I've read on the topic that earnestly makes me want to start messing around with MCP for fun (and makes it clear how to get started).

It's a bit unfortunate that the field is so dominated by extremes of hype and skepticism, both of which aren't particularly helpful to getting problems really solved.

It's just good writing. Funny, insightful, detailed.

Smart that developers are quickly updating their apps while Apple is still appealing the decision. Once users get used to the added purchase options and cheaper pricing there's no going back, regardless of what the final ruling is.
beastman82 · 4 months ago
those users will stick with their Apple products and lose the ability to "get the book" (so to speak). So yes, there is going back.

beastman82 · 4 months ago
very strong antiwork sentiment these days. It's sad. The employers are taking a risk by hiring you and paying you, and you should work as hard as you can during business hours. That ethic is very rare in tech but is somewhat common in every other industry I've worked in.
