What is the value prop of Deno?

General question: what is this model good for? I have mixed results with Laya on a pdf classifier (Jev was doing much better).

I am not sure how this process looks like. When they "discover" these, what are they actually doing?

    The agents ran quantum-mechanical simulations of each crystal with the standard method for this, density functional theory, at two levels of approximation: a faster one (PBE+U) and a slower, usually more accurate one (HSE06). The band gaps and spin windows below come from the more accurate one.

So the agent runs a classic simulation or I am missing something.

It seems the subscription based plans these big vendors have has different quality on the service side based on time. Is this fair?

RIIR when? On a more serious note frameworks like Rails are getting less interesting because generating the boilerplate got significantly cheaper with LLMs.

Why is this Jev story hyped this much? Is there any business outcome that was achieved and justifies this?

Valid. We need to innovate on this and re-think secondary indices. Storage is cheap.

Complex systems have complex operations and problems. I think isolating the read and write workloads and separating the read queries by departments or even users is a distinct possibility especially with technologies like DuckDB.

Native is the new React?! I could never drink the React Native cool aid due to background in performance optimization. Agents gave us the way to go native with less effort. Compilation is a good feedback loop for the agentic workflow as well.

I think it would be enough to ban high fructose corn syrup.

Not only that but high intakes of added sugars and fast-acting, high-glycemic carbohydrates are linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Excess simple sugars, particularly fructose and sucrose, promote insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and vascular damage that impair brain function and accelerate neurodegeneration. So with other words, you diet is a major contributing factor here. The medical establishment and big pharma simple ignores the fact that the biggest health risk for a human being is the "modern" high sugar diet that Kellogs introduced in the US and spread to the western world (even to Asia at some extent).

Because it is worse? It is optimized for token maxing, this time the output tokens are maximized.

I am pretty sure that stakeholder capitalism has an answer to this that might not be aligned with the ecology of Earth or what the meat consumers see as the right answer.

Beef & dairy the industrial way drive this. Several studies and decade long experiments show the positive impact of the non-industrial alternatives.
