<p>Defending currency has to have some quip, right? Something like, "The market can remain honest longer than your central bank can stay solvent"?<p>Always seems to go wrong. Like spraying water on a forest fire with a straw.</p>

<p>Biggest thing that jumps out is lack of stability. Almost none of their roles are longer than a year, several under 6 months.<p>That can be bad luck, but taken as a whole, many recruiters and/or hiring managers are going to pass over this resume.</p>

<p>In 2024 Trump got some of the youth vote, still not a majority. Trump never won Gen X (or at least Millennial) and below.<p>So the prediction sounds right? The Republicans have burnt the youth vote pretty badly and have never really recovered.</p>

<p>Yes, I also balked when I originally encountered this pattern at a previous co.<p>And I think agree with your point, "correct in a wrong way"? Yeah, everything as a POST is wrong, but it is less wrong and more clear to just ignore REST because the assumptions are broken so often it just makes it more complicated.<p>Just POST everything and make it clear in the URI + bodies what is happening.</p>

<p>The switch is not novel, that is in fact exactly how autopilot works for any aircraft. The pilot toggles it on and off and the autopilot itself may turn itself off if certain situations occur.<p>To your point, that isn't without problems, but it certainly isn't novel. It is very standard and boring.<p>I would bet this is pure marketing speak and there really isn't anything special here. "Follow this flight plan and do so within this flight envelope" is pretty straightforward?</p>

<p>> AI models cost tens of millions to train.<p>A pittance frankly. Something that could easily be covered by oh I dunno, let's call it a National Science Foundation who's in charge of subsidizing important basic research for a nation's interests.<p>Anywho, when the market is trillions (and of potential nation state concern), it is pretty inconsequential and very much worthwhile.<p>Aside, I think your scale is a bit off, I think Moonshot has raised $5B and potentially they get other breaks from China, not sure. So to produce something like SOTA takes billions, not tens of millions. I'd still argue it is worthwhile to subsidize and invest in open versions, imagine spending $5B to unlocking a few percentage point increases in your country's productivity.</p>

<p>> Most of the operating profit back then came from alcohol sales and that's a totally different business.<p>I think this is typical of a lot of similar-ish businesses. Restaurants, bowling alleys, movie theaters, all run on high margin alcohol (or concessions) and make very little profit on the primary business.</p>

<p>There are a lot of ideas swirling around right now, it has been the most anybody has cared about OAuth in 15 years.<p>Most auth companies are playing in this space, some are trying to own the spec, like WorkOS, some are working more closely with standards bodies.<p>I, like the other commentator, am of the opinion that 90% of the problem space is solved with OAuth and the remainder will be worked out over the next few years as we see how autonomous agents evolve.</p>
