what are the key architectural differences?

Right but thats usually debt, not equity financing.

> There are many reasons why a conglomerate like Alphabet doesn't want to hold all of that directly on the balance sheet

Can you tell us those reasons? I think this is basically _the_ question.

So what about Cursor's tab autocomplete? Seems like there is a spectrum of tooling between raw assembly all the way to vibe coding and I'm trying to see where you draw the line. Is it "if it uses AI, its bad" or are you more against the "hey build me something and I'm not even gonna check the results."

Do you think IDE's, type checking, refactoring tools and autocomplete make developers stupider too? Serious question.

I have a latency sensitive application - anyone know if any tools that let you compare time to first token and total latency for a bunch of models at once given a prompt. Ideally, run close to the DCs that serve the various models so we can take out network latency from the benchmark.

Right but what does that have to do with the DMV. Waymo should apply for certain weather conditions and then the DMV says yes or no, then they stay the hell out of the way. Let waymo operate whereever they want and expand however they see fit and whenever they feel ready.

Like the DMV is actually checking Waymos map of a new area is good to go or not. Its just administrative burden.

My question is why they even have to apply for specific areas to begin with? Just approve the manufacturer for certain conditions and let them operate wherever they want.

why?`

why is there an approved map? like i get having a pilot somewhere but once that goes well (and we're way past that point), why isn't it just blanket approval everywhere. Why would one county be allowed waymos but not another.

I get that they might not be approved in the high sierras but just make that a deny list not allow list. Or even just deny the specific conditions you're worried about (snow).

From the post they claim 8 times more solar energy and no need for batteries because they are continuously in the sun. Presumably at some scale and some cost/kg to orbit this starts to pencil out?

You’re saying the file system in the container is persisted to the durable object storage? That doesn’t sound right.

Yeah thats basically the issue. If container disks are ephemeral, how are they persisting it? And however they are doing it, whats the billing for it?

There is an open question about how file persistence works.

The docs claim they persist the filesystem even when they move the container to an idle state but its unclear exactly what that means - https://github.com/cloudflare/sandbox-sdk/issues/102

You can easily set an alarm in the durable object to check if it should be killed and then call destroy yourself. Just a couple lines of code.

Can services dd to your supported list of MCP servers? Or do you write all the servers?
