i've been wearing headphones in public since the 90s (walkman > discman), i have no idea how the author thinks headphones is a new phenomenon. I'm not particularly interested in unsolicited advice or conversation, so that's a plus for me.

I dont buy that Amazon activly tried to interfere with Anthropic while being one of the largest owners. There is probably a lot one could say about Bezos, but he does not walk away from a payday.

Probably great for those who need this. I could continue using opus 4.6 class models for the foreseeable future

If you're just doing workflows from a single node, i guess it can be ok as long as theres a single writer. But scaling across multiple servers it clearly is not all you need.

Same here, i can't say i've seen any difference in 4.6 vs 4.7 other than price

It's driven a lot by the harness too. If you're using claude code, you're actively being pushed towards newer models, even though older ones work perfectly fine for your use cases

As someone who has seen the enterprise deals, they are not subsidised in any way shape or form. Anthropic may wave the seat fee, maybe get lower "expected" consumption. This changes what the company pays up front. but token prizing is fixed.

They pay sticker price. There may be exceptions for very very large companies like Amazon or Microsoft which have their own deals where they rent out compute in return for usage.

Is this some anti-FIAT take? The value the author got is not value as in intrinsic value, it simply means value as in better deal than the alternative. This is often called "value" and you will see this used when products are sold in "value packs" etc.

Sometimes it feels like theres this opposite AI psychosis, where anything AI is bad and boils the ocean, takes our jobs and makes RAM expensive. Its a component in the current economy, but things like tariffs, closing the strait of hormuz etc is equally bad for the economy. Anyway, just find it strange to be so militantly anti a certain tech.

Its not unless its subsidised which valve may chose to do given that the enthusiast PC marked is crashing, which in time will eat some of their growth.

New comment by yokoprime in "Norway's 2 petabytes of Huawei flash storage and LLM training"

yokoprime — Tue, 26 May 2026 06:06:15 +0000

The wording in this article is a bit strange, why the extreme focus on the brand of storage media? Also, the term LLM seems to be used in a very broad way here, are they actually building a language model from scratch, or are they fine-tuning?

To be fair, i think you needed a cutthroat businessman leading the company. Which i guess is more or less the same today

The author appears to have done actual measurements and put in the work. I agree that the article probably has been run through an LLM, but as long as there's actual new (for me!) information, i don't really care

Is this satire?

I think this is super interesting, but i think you and the OP is talking about two different problems: presenting text to end users and structuring text for agents

New comment by yokoprime in "Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac"

yokoprime — Mon, 04 May 2026 11:57:26 +0000

I would not trust this "Notepad++ for Mac" at all. The author of the "port", aka Vibe Coded slop, Andrey Letov has absolutely zero commits anywhere before he suddenly vibes up this mac release. He brands it as an official Notepad++ version, is slimy in the way he interacts with the Notepad++ team etc. I would not be surprised if theres some sort of back door or malware attack vector embedded in this software. Stay away! Remember the XZ Utils backdoor!
