They can claim that...but if you've built a public SaaS before you know the job is not to host the software, it's to put rails around people taking it down. They've had since 2008 to build those rails, and they're just now hitting places that take the service down on the regular?

The problem is that they are charging per seat and need to start charging for usage.

> I imagine the clutch is easier on the knees these days! Modern tractors don't really have a clutch. I mean they sorta do, but it's electronic. Even on sizable consumer positioned tractors(I have a JD 5055, but it applies to almost all the JD models), there's just a lever for forward, N, and reverse. Gear shifters work MUCH MUCH better now.

When I was younger I absolutely HATED changing gear on the tractor - it was a matter of dropping the revs which caused a dive, then a clunk finding the gear, then a jolt as the gear took hold and the revs came back up

I never felt in control of that old beast

Changing gears while driving? Are you sure you where supposed to? Many old tractors are without synced drives, so you are supposed to select gear before you start driving. Of course you can change when driving, but then you have to match revs to not get the drop betwen

You have to match revs anyway. Without Synchromesh the trick is to double declutch.

Ha ha, that's such a wonderful description, that's exactly how it feels!

I watched some explain how deepseak got good and the Chinese approach to LLM training. Really wish I could remember it. The premise was China thinks of LLMs not as a thing separate from hardware, but gains efficiencies at each layer of the stack. From Chips to software, it's all integrated and purpose built for training.

Wonder if Anthropic is making a mistake by focusing on "consumer" hardware, and not going super specialized.

So you watched some random video from some random YouTuber, didn't even remember who made it, so much so you didn't even remember that deepseek isn't spelled "deapseak", didn't bother to even find it or verify, and then you go asserting your memory as fact on a serious discussion forum.

Comments like yours add nothing to the discussion.

I belive he does have a valid point.

You can throw money and hardware at a problem, but then someone may come along with a great idea and leapfrog you.

Just consider that all major AI providers now use deepseeks ideas for efficient training from that first paper.

thank you for the aerious discussion my good sir I tip my hat to you

DeepSeek uses merchant silicon like everyone else.

edit: I misunderstood, I thought you were implying they designed their own GPUs. nevermind

> I watched some explain how deepseak got good and the Chinese approach to LLM training.

I distinctly remember reading a big pantie twisting from Sam Altman and Co that Chinese took their stuff, the stuff OpenAI and Co spent billions to create, and used that as the base for $0.00

It’s fake news predicated on China not being able to get GPUs. But it turns out everyone was getting them their GPUs by serial number swaps in warehouse.

In my AGENTS.md I have two lines in almost every single one: - Under no condition should you use emoji's. - Before adding a new function, method or class. Scan the project code base, and attached frame works to verify that something else can not be modified to fit the needs.

I'm curious about the token usage when it scans across multiple repositories to finding similar methods. As our code grows so fast, is it sustainable ?

I'm sold. My wife is a teacher(refuses to use a chromebook because they suck, or an Ipad because data input sucks). She'll be getting one of these. Kids probably will too. I'm having a really hard time finding another laptop on the market the hits the "i use gmail, and gdocs, and some other webapps all day" demographic so well.

A well known path....bluesky saw it with twitter. Reddit with digg. /. with digg are the ones that come to mind. Interesting to see if this works out better.

Fark, somehow still holding strong.

A name I hear about once a year and still somehow surprised. I was a totalfarker back in like ~2000. was a great place.

Florida is still a state.

Maybe they charge a price that covers the cost of the service + a little profit.

That's what a business would do if they were getting a loan from the bank instead of ravenous VCs that will pay their legal fees and settlements when theyget busted for training their models on copyrighted content, as long as they IPO within a reasonable timeframe.

this is exactly what they do, if you pay for your account, you don't see ads

As of November 2025, no ChatGPT tier is profitable, not even the $200 a month one:

That doesn't scale in the world of capitalism. Because you need to increase revenues year after year and there are only so many people willing to pay. So you either keep increasing the price (and that has a limit) or you find other ways to monetize and the current meta seems to be pay + ads.

I'm a small time cattle rancher and raise a few pigs per year. Also friends with many fellow ranchers. My only response to this is entirely "duh". Cows and pigs maybe dumb, but they figure things out with trial and error at an amazing rate.

Also, using a stick as a scratching tool is not really on the same spectrum as flint-knapping a knife, sun-baking a pinchpot, or sharpening a fire-hardened spear point.

This is like those articles that claim that trees "communicate" because they exude more waste products under duress, or somesuch horseshit.

I have Cows and Pigs, raised for show and meat. I would not call either animal "intelligent". I would call them stupid determined. They have all the time in the world to push, pull, grab and generally implement mayhem.

such nostalgia. There was a time when you could tell a fair bit about someone if that was in their email signature.
