Anthropic can be profitable and massively overvalued, AND deeply into debt from running too fast and loose with their money in previous years.

That situation would have them behave exactly the same: hurrying to get the IPO done while the stocks are still skyhigh to get over the debt burden and then buckle up for the profitability to weather them through coming correction...

What data? To my knowledge the only data point that exists is a 2025 document, which is completely irrelevant considering how massively they hiked the API token price.

To my knowledge, the subscriptions are the only part that may still be profiting from vc subventions. And if not, then their API margins are gigantic

ianal - but I never understood that mindset. You're surely aware that a subscription is a contract, and terminating the payment method does not legally terminate it unless the company doesn't bother proceeding further?

Which may be the case for Adobe, but you're definitely in a legal gray zone in which I'm sure (again ianal) they can sue for damages if they want.

Because nobody did before they published it. And they don't work.

Some work better then others though, eg my super basic usecases in photocraft mostly worked.

> Sounds like LLMs shouldn't respond to insults like humans do either then.

is impossible, because thats literally what a llm is. its a stochastic model which produces output according to the predictive calculation of how people wrote. it can never be separated from our own behavioral quirks, even if it may or may not be more intelligent then a person off of the street.

its kinda exactly what they are. like can you remove h2o from water?

on this platform are people that dont see IP as valid, others believe it is

. There is no shared opinion on that topic that all participants on this platform agree on.

anyway, the bigger issue ive with this is the doubling of the price right from the get-go.

with private equity on the steering wheel, i suspect this will keep going up every year from now on, so ... while i too have been a loyal customer to date, i suspect ill be driven out within the next 1-2 years, because if they double the price again next year, its gonna be way beyond the value i get out of it given how decent the alternative have become since.

And if you're honest, macOS has sadly dropped in quality too...

But the reason why I wrote my comment was just that you gave off the feeling that you consider macOS to be the only relevant desktop operating system, which seemed like a very strange view to have given the reality of it's userbase.

I mean I don't disagree with that, but you're in dire need of a reality check wrt Apple's dominance

It's not even the most used OS. It's userbase has certainly grown over the last 20 years, but it's still at <30% on desktop...

There are however some demographics in which it's more represented, and that's probably just such a bubble where you're coming from

I'm sure they'll have a migration path to the cloudflare platform in 12 month.

That's an attempt at mitigation, but most definitely not solved.

It still causes both false positives and false negatives through that. The only true "solution" is to make sure generation always happens on the same platform as your ci... And various mitigation strategies around that (eg fall back to structure tests on other platforms vs actual visual diffs in ci

Also not unique to playwright. Been available basically everywhere since the start

Pretty old libs around that played around with those concepts, especially in Python

https://pypi.org/project/plumbum/

there are other parts where its not unless youre playing fast and loose.

Most devs against AI argue that the former tasks were never that big of an issue, but they likely worked at enterprises where those tasks were someone elses job through dedicated teams preparing framework upgrades etc

There is also a gigantic delta between using AI on eg Github copilot through API Pricing and having a Subscription model via Anthropic or OpenAI. Through Github you'll be constantly be worrying about costs, with the Sub youll likely mostly be using SOTA and the quality diffence is staggering, especially since the last model iteration (Opus 5.5)

The original blog is no longer available though.

But I've not had that stop me from doing that myself, I am more towards the "I like easy" then the "I want to be secure" crowd

So if I wanted to use fossil scm, i'd have to find a way to glue that on, and now ... we'Re basically in the same situation as with any other solution: it supports only a subset of the feature we want.

and especially CI pre "merge" is a hard requirement, and fossil doesnt have any concept for that i think?

But the last time i evaluated it was in the mid 2010s, so things may have progressed since? but couldn't find anything on cursory glance and AI confirmed that position, but we all know how often its wrong... so how did yall solve that issue?
