<p>Because 1 angstrom equals 10⁻¹⁰ meters and 1 picometer equals 10⁻¹² meters, the relationship is:<p>1 Å = 100 pm.
1 pm = 0.01 Å.</p>

<p>they are paying for marketshare/customer base. Cursor has a good chunk of it.<p>xAI overbuilt their data centers - they can't find paying customers for them, that's the reason they made deals with other companies like Google to use their own datacenters.<p>Cursor has the opposite problem of not having enough capacity. So this works well for them together.<p>Weather it's worth it - if you beleive that AI will solve every problem then having a piece of the pie early on might be worth it.<p>Remember how when google bought youtube for 1.65 billions people thought they are crazy? Or when facebook bought instagram.<p>60B is a crazy number but might be worth it for someone fighting for world dominance :)</p>

<p>I think another thing that affects security is that in javascript culture people often tie to the latest version instead of concrete version.<p>This makes it so an update to a popular library can compromise a huge number of packages that depend on it.<p>In Java for example almost all packages specify a concrete version, even if someone compromises the latest the blast radius is usually pretty small.</p>

<p>If you read what happened it's not that cut&dry. Railway (their cloud provider) gave them a token for operations. The AI was working on staging at the moment. Since the token had wide range permissions AI used it in it's routine operations to delete a volume to fix something and this resulted in their prod and backup data deletion.<p>So, here at least some of the blame belongs to Railway - how they organized their security, how the volume deletion deletes backups as well.<p>They since fixed some of these issues, so a similar mistake from someone won't be as catastrophic.</p>

<p>one of the biggest health problems in US is obesity. 
30 to 40% of the food produced in US goes to waste.<p>Just these two facts will tell you that while, yes, we do need food to live, but on another hand we have an abundance of food and if AI data centers use 0.05% of the water used for humans.<p>It's a strawman.</p>

<p>both are pretty big numbers and I think are pretty capable to do mass manufacturing. As evidenced by many industries that US had and still has.<p>it could be less economical, so Apple has to innovate to be competitive on pricing - with automation, robots, etc.</p>

<p>Notepad++ might be too much for a simple utility.<p>Plus for many years Word was one of the main cash cows for MS, so they didn't want to make an editor that would take away from Word.<p>And you could see how adding new things adds vulnerabilities. In this case they added ability to see/render markdown and with markdown they render links, which in this case allowed executing remote code when user clicks on a link.</p>
