I predict that if they take this same philosophy and use this money to add some new pieces on top where those new pieces are 'open' in the same way as their current hardware stack but which allows them to also run 'gpu bound' workloads well -- then I suspect they will make a ton of money.

Hard disagree here. Use it. Of course, if you running code that drive a pacemaker or a train maybe be careful, but in general, do things. We don't want a world where only three old bearded guys can write a compiler or a physic engine. Do the same errors again and you'll learn, eventually you'll do better than those who were here before you.
What IS the right way to model dates in a pacemaker ...? I hope the answer is "just don't do it" -- but I don't know what reasons there might be for a pacemaker to need to depend on calendar dates in order to best do its job ...

classes are a bad way to model data imo
I wish python had a clean way to define types without defining classes. Think a _good_ mechanism to define the shape of data contained within primitives/builtins containers without classes -- ala json/typescript (ideally extended with ndarray and a sane way to represent time)
Python classes wrapped around the actual "data" are sometimes necessary but generally always bad boilerplate in my experience.

I think the whole concept of source files as unordered blobs on the filesystem is just _wrong_ -- and a serious drag on the ability of a reader to quickly digest a codebase and make inferences about changes in isolation ...
Codebases are _ordered_ constructs -- regardless of the ridiculous broken build system abstractions that do everything possible to obscure this truth ...

I just don't see the value prop for LLM for financial markets specifically but I guess I'm not familiar with the workflows of analysts.
"Backtest this for me"
"Analyze this"
"Find a pattern"
"Beat the market"
I'd imagine the main use case is to whitewash insider trading signals ...
My way to circumvent most of this: I am using Safari with AdBlock Pro and AdBlock and see zero ads when browsing the web.
I spend more time on YouTube than I care to admit, so I got a Premium subscription, bought an extension called UnTrap for YouTube to hide most recommendations and turned off all YouTube history etc.
I regularly visit BlueSky, Hacker News and YouTube, but not X, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook.
The hardest thing is to not use Amazon, but I am working on it.
Is there anyway to fully disable youtube shorts/reels/whatever that mess is called ...? I quite like youtube long form content but have found myself occasionally in short form rabbit holes (which are both very addicting and extremely unsatisfying and which motivated me to delete instagram to escape when i realized how much a time and emotion suck they are)
Debugger >> language -- next most popular language manifesto slogan (i hope).
