So you not used vim or neovim in the last 10 years ?
To be fair, there was a roughly 6 year period when vim saw one very minor release. That slow development period was the impetus for the fork of Neovim.

I believe Broadcom is also very involved in the making of the TPU's and networking infrastructure and they are valued at 1.2T currently. Maybe consider the combined value of Broadcom and Google.
Wouldn't you also need to add TSMC to Nvidia's side in that case?

> I'm sure one could solve that more generally, by putting the agent writing the code in a loop with some other code reviewing agent.
This x 100. I get so much better quality code if I have LLMs review each other's code and apply corrections. It is ridiculously effective.
Can you elaborate a little more on your setup? Are you manually copyong and pasting code from one LLM to another, or do you have some automated workflow for this?

This one has pretty heavy nostalgia for me. Resedit is a big part of why I'm in software development today. My first forays into "hacking" were to use Resedit to modify some nagware to skip the pay screen. It was a definite peek behind the curtain moment that made me much more curious about computing.

> I basically won the game
There are many ways to play this game, and I think it’s a bit early to declare yourself a winner if you haven’t even hit your deathbed.
Also a bit strange to call yourself the winner when you're clearly not happy. I think OP has misunderstood the game.

1. Do "PHL, FRE, and AMS" mean something? Or are these just codenames for each site?
2. If I host a service on AWS, Azure, Linode, DigitalOcean am I also susceptible to layer 3 DDoS?
Linode went through a rather long DDoS attack a few years back with a few of their data enters being offline for a few days, so I would guess yes there.

Would opening them in the browser be "more" secure than opening then in a regular PDF viewer program?
I'd think opening a PDF in your browser would be at the same risk-level you associate with going to any random URL. On Firefox at least, I'm pretty sure the built-in PDF viewer is simply JS parsing and rendering the PDF anyway -- nothing with elevated permissions:

Depends though, because in theory you could then have wildly different employment conditions depending on which union / industry you work for.
Of course, if another industry has better conditions, you can always vote with your feet. Competing for employees benefits the employees, in theory.
This is why I don't understand the "we can't find staff" thing. No, you can't afford staff, there's a difference. Offer me more money and a training program and I'll change my career. It's that simple.

There's an interesting dynamic there though that you mention that a particular union may affect the employment conditions across a whole industry. So, theoretically an employer in an industry with a bad dominant union might be be hamstrung even if they wish to improve employment conditions but the core issues stem from a bad union (I'll note this question is from the perspective of an American, with limited and generally poor interactions with unions, who wishes things were better here).
