Didn’t they open source Kubernetes (aka probably the biggest OSS project since Linux itself)

Yep. Many, many companies are fine saying “we’re going to be no more available than AWS is.”

I would imagine Flyway would be the most robust alternative

“Official” means built by the creators of Elixir itself

Elixir has more contributors than just Jose (though he is the OG / creator / leader)

You can opt out until September 28th. After that day all Claude usage will be under the new terms and conditions

Early days as in the first ~4 months of the journey (which is lifelong…a formerly obese person will always be highly likely to regain the weight)

It’s a life changer because when you’re at a significant caloric deficit, your body sheds both fat and muscle. When you lose muscle, your metabolic rate drops, also lowering your rate of fat loss

If you lift even a little, your body will hang on to muscle more effectively, making it easier to lose and maintain weight over a longer period

Does “data for application” means the operational db?

Latest research (as in only ~2m old) dispels that narrative a bit but not entirely. Looks like spermidine is the autophagy signal but they’re not sure fasting does t always increase spermidine

Also…lifting light weights for like 10 minutes a day at home is a lifechanger in the early days

Jony owned iPhone hardware design top-to-bottom through development and multiple launches

You think he’s glorified for literally nothing?

Bc your proposed situation is a fantasy

No processor can come close to performance per watt, and performance per watt wins the laptop market. Laptop market dominates PC sales

The grass is not the same on the other side

Inevitable * in hindsight *

Innovation is the introduction of a new paradigm that works so well that people can no longer imagine not having

No one was close to the original iPhone at launch and they didn’t really catch up until ~iPhone 12 for truly competitive alternatives

Cool. App Store extended the true innovation which was a fully capable OS in everyone’s pocket

App Store doesn’t exist without iPhone just like Windows doesn’t exist without the PC

Apple have certainly taken a couple steps back re: overall reliability, but if you think that the grass is greener on the other side…pray tell how that goes

Plus, you can now deploy [MLX projects on CUDA](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx/pull/1983)
