clickbait. read the article. they just spent several billion hiring a leadership team. They are doing an all hands to figure out what they need to do.
yes, because meta has no incentive to act like there's no bubble

> Technical cases like this will always confuse jurors... On the other hand, in a number of highprofile tech cases, you can see judges learning and discussing engineering in a deeper level.
Not to be ageist, but I find this highly counterintuitive.
how exactly? you expect the average joe to have a better technical understanding, and more importantly ability to learn, than a judge? that is bizarre to me
They'd have to charge people for using those, which people won't be eager to. The point of coffee shops in this regard is that the use as free coworking space is "parasitic" on the space being financed by the café business.
(as long as the campers are considerate) it's also low cost. even prime location starbucks have large lull periods through the day, prime for campers, even though only spending $5-10.
when people feel entitled to take up 2 spaces for hours while families roam for seats is when it's too far
Is there any reason not to believe this is just a hoax? I am immediately skeptical I see reported only on Threads (or FB, IG, Twitter, Bluesky, etc) and not corroborated.
agreed. It's on-brand for Tesla, but still looks more like a PR stunt than reality
Would they really put "comply with cease & desist to reactivate" on the screen?

so 96% availability = "survived" now?
but interesting write-up. If I were a consumer of OpenFreeMap, I would be concerned that such an availability drop was only detected by user reports
Scaling laws enabled an investment in capital and GPU R&D to deliver 10,000x faster training.
That took the wold from autocomplete to Claude and GPT.
Another 10,000x would do it again, but who has that kind of money or R&D breakthrough?
The way scaling laws work, 5,000x and 10,000x give a pretty similar result. So why is it surprising that competitors land in the same range? It seems hard enough to beat your competitor by 2x let alone 10,000x
But also, AI progress is non-linear. We're more likely to have an AI winter than AGI
Ah mate I can’t relate more to the offshore component. I had a very sad experience where I recently had to let go of an offshore team due to them providing devs that essentially ‘junior with copilot’ but labelled as a ‘senior’.
Time and time again I would find telltale signs of dumping LLM output into PRs n then claiming it as their own. Not a problem, but the code didn’t do what the detailed ticket asked and introduced other bugs as a result.
It ultimately became a choice of ‘go through the hassle of making a detailed brief for it to just be put in copilot verbatim and then go through the hassle of reviewing it and explaining the issues back to the offshore dev’ or ‘brief Claude directly’
I hate to say it but from a business perspective the latter won outright. It tears me up as it goes against my morality.
Why does it go against your morality? Sounds like a totally rational business decision, only affecting a sub-par partner
Yes, can confirm that as a senior developer who has needed to spend huge amounts of time reviewing junior code from off-shore contractors with very detailed and explicit instructions, dabbling in agentic LLM coding tools like Claude Code has felt like like a gift from heaven.
I also have concerns about said junior developers wielding such tools, because yes, without being able to supply the right kind of context and being able to understand the difference between a good solution and a bad solution, they will produce tons of awful, but technically working code.
Totally agree with the off-shore component of this. I'm already going to have to break a task down into clear detail and resolve any anticipated blocker myself upfront to avoid multi-timezone multi-day back and forth.
Now that I'm practiced at that, the off-shored part is no longer valuable
is this just powernap?
as in `sudo pmset -a powernap 0`?
I'd rather not install an entire desktop app if that's all he's doing
Fast is also cheap. Especially in the world of cloud computing where you pay by the second. The only way I could create a profitable transcription service [1] that undercuts the rest was by optimizing every little thing along the way. For instance, just yesterday I learned that the image size I've put together is 2.5× smaller than the next open source variant. That means faster cold boots, which reduces the cost (and providers a better service).
Not in development and maintenance dollars it's not
