Today is the deadline to file your taxes if you filed an extension. But many people can't get their identity pin or make payments, blocking the e-filing.

TSMC doesn’t make DRAM though. Their biz model is manufacturing complex logic chips (eg cpus and asics), which doesn’t have the same commodity cycle.

Is artificial analysis using the 80% reduction in Luna pricing that was announced yesterday in these charts?

This is why we can't have nice things. Huge additional costs and design constraints because of

* 2-exit-stairwell requirement

* elevator laws

* parking laws

Article contrasts with an apartment building in Denmark to show what could be possible.

I thought the same. Normal people don’t write that way.

We’re going to be in a very weird place:

* LLMs make it trivial to recreate almost any software using its test suite (maybe not a derivative work)

* LLM generated code has no copyright (according to current court interpretations)

Soon we will be able to make an unlicensed copy of anything if we have its test suite and a little money for tokens.

The maintainer used the original test suite in the rewrite.

Does that make the new code a derivative of the original test suite (also lpgl)?

It was my son’s laptop , he’s in high school. General Google Classroom / Google Docs / Gmail / web research stuff. He’s not technical at all. I bought him the 8GB machine thinking it would be fine, but it became a big problem for him.

I do think part of the problem was number of tabs open. It was a little better when I taught him how to manage tabs and I also turned up all the memory saving features in chrome.

But even with all of that, it would still slow down with what looked like a pretty minimal workload.

I spent a few hours with him on it, but he still had these kinds of issues.

It just seems like it requires a decent level of sophistication to work with a small RAM budget if you’re using Google software.

Does using the old version’s tests to create a new version make it a derivative work? That’s certainly some pretty tight coupling.

I found Google Chrome makes an M1 MacBook Air with 8GB RAM almost unusable, unless you're really careful to keep only a few tabs only. I'm curious what browser you were using and if you had any similar experience.

New comment by nilsbunger in "Ford F-150 Lightning outsold the Cybertruck and was then canceled for poor sales"

We recently got a tire at the dealer. My wife got a flat while she was trying to get to work. The car comes with roadside assistance, and the "easy path" was to let them tow it to the dealer.

We could've done the work to find a private shop to change the tire and redirect the tow truck there, but it takes effort, my wife gets intimidated by car stuff, and she was busy with some work meetings (which she took at the roadside).

In the end it cost us an extra $100, but probably saved us $1000 of marriage counseling :) That's ROI !

The dynamics in the US are different for a reason: Car dealerships are independently owned due to laws preventing car manufacturers from directly selling cars to consumers.

This means multiple dealers (of the same car brand) compete with each other to sell you a car, thus driving their margin down. They try to make it back by selling you add-on packages and financing at the time of sale, ongoing service relationships, and handling warranty/recall issues (paid by the corporate brand).

Yes I think there's a real innovators' dilemma here for traditional automakers with dealer networks. Dealers make most of their money on servicing vehicles, not selling them. And EVs require almost no servicing.
