I once worked in a company and noticed that customer financial statements were publicly accessible. Ran into the software team. And got the reply that no one told them that it should be behind authentication. Some people really don't use their own brains.

No, not all land isn’t the same. It is far more profitable to grow a high value crop vs plain grass. But some land just isn’t great for other things than grass. You have large cattle farms in Australia where you can’t grow anything other than grass and other wild plants.

The world is bigger than US. A minority of the world is US.

Starving people in North Korea are surviving (since per definition they are surviving if they are not dead). Doesn’t mean North Korean diet is something we should strive for.

Aha. All the grass humans could eat instead of the cows. Not all land is great for growing crops at. Other land is just good for growing grass for cattle to graze on.

That is such a wholesome and fun idea (but probably gonna be abused if more users). Link?

To be fair if you look back at what they previously written they critiqued Orban for over a decade.

Isn’t those calculations pretty unreliable? It’s like those predictions we only have 5 or 10 years of oil left. And then we find more oil or better extraction process and we got another 10 years and so on.

If I gave you that could you implement Graphql from scratch without a large amount of middleware? Or are we now saying graphql api:s are not api:s?

Competition often foster innovation. Why are they innovating so fast and spending so much money? Because they don’t wanna get behind. If there was no competition at all then there would be much less reason to innovate and spend resources.

I don't agree. I think their models are pretty good. The company's infrastructure though seems to be so so.

No, that is not correct. It is running one hundred percent local. You can try it by turning off internet on your phone and try running it then. However, the built in model isn't as good, so this is probably better.

What market share? We are talking commodity models where the host does not matter at all at OpenRouter etc.

Iran hit a teaching hospital so I guess they technically managed to hit a school and a hospital at the same time.

Iran has helped Russia bomb many schools and hospitals.

While Iran is bad - US is engaged in war crimes (they even brag about it). It’s like when Russians defend their war crimes by saying that Ukraine is corrupt.

It is called sunk cost. The marginal cost is what sets the lower limit. They will always be able to sell at the marginal cost of inference.
