> We want to help people in the EU, but with laws like replaceable batteries, it's going to push us further and further away from being able to do that.

We want to help people, but only if and when it’s profitable for us to do so on terms we decide for you.

Incredibly corrupt sports organisation awards incredibly corrupt politician the peace prize. Something neither party have any concept of, nor seem to understand the definition of.

I feel for the South Park creators because boy do you have a challenge coming up with absurdity this season.

No. They do not.

There’s a lot of history there:

Rethinkdb is shutting down https://rethinkdb.com/blog/rethinkdb-shutdown/ (2016)

Why we failed https://gist.github.com/ramalho/93b87e961b6e019be8e1f6f82864...

It’s an open source project now and all but once all of that happened I guess a lot of people might not be comfortable to try it again.

The title is interesting but the article lacks a lot of background information. There’s no explanation of what the CPU-bound endpoints are, what causes them to be CPU-bound etc. They mention they didn’t think optimising the Go code would’ve given them enough, but there’s nothing to substantiate it and no way for the reader to form their own opinion since we’re never told what the problem is other than “doesn’t scale.”

I have no issue with Rust, there’s nothing wrong with what they did, they approached it sensibly and the results are certainly compelling. But it reads a lot like “we wanted to write something in Rust” and found a reason to do so.

In the mean time, the author:

* Has claimed to quit Replit only to be back at it the next day.

* Asked the agent 6-7 times to generate apology letters.

* Is apparently spending $8000/month on "AI agents"

Like I'm not sure but it doesn't seem like this person should have any access to production either, much less the AI.

Ahhh the free market. In which we make sure to protect OpenAI’s profits.

It’s not landing gear failure.

They overshot the runway but that can happen for a variety of reasons. It’s nothing close to the other two.

There’s one useful paragraph of information in there, and the rest is Matt whining about the consequences of his own actions.

You can’t fix it. LLMs making things up is a consequence of what they are.

The blog post admits as much, because the “fix it” section is actually titled “How To Mitigate AI Hallucination?”

Mitigation makes some bad less severe. But that’s not fixing it.
