stupidest response. There are tons of gov waste that's 100 times more expensive, less effective without any returns. Wars are lot more expensive, net negative for common folks (positive for war machinery though..) And out of all this, you would steal money from research and put it to put food on table? :(

Anthropic subsidizes the fees when devs use their API within their own Claude code product. They do not give any such discount when the devs use their API outside their product. Seems fair enough. But looks like lots of developers expect the subsidy even when used outside their core product. Not fair, I guess.

In the end, a business gets to decide how and when to strategically subsidize their users.

They do not monetize but may do probably something worse, infotize or narratize (just invented words). By using an almost neutral, altruistic platform to subtly control/constrain the narratives on certain tech overlords. As much as I love HN, I do not agree with their reasoning to flag some of the posts that are negative to the tech elites.

We often think market is rational but it is not. If it is, then BYD would be priced like Tesla, and Tesla would have been priced like BYD.

when I saw 18F, CISA, USDS were targeted by DOGE, everything was clear. They were just cutting all the good muscle and leaving the bad fat :(

I thought HN crowd is smarter than average crowd, but surprised to see so many folks supporting this fraud. If they sold just "note taking service" then it does not matter what they do behind the scene or how they scale up the service, manual or automated. But if they sold "AI-enabled" note taking service, then it's a clear fraud. Nothing different from Trevor Milton rolling the trucks from hills.

you are barking at the wrong tree. Banks are the real culprits here. Visa/MC are perhaps the front face.

if merchants pay anywhere between 2% to 3%, how is the bank able to pay 3.5% for purchases to your corp card customers? Simple math says the bank would lose money on this which of course won't be true. What am I missing?

if Trevor Milton can do it, so can you.

This is sad. I have worked with many federal agencies including EPA and have seen firsthand how large corporations try to influence or circumvent the law without regard for people or the environment. The EPA isn’t as bloated as people think. Contrary to public perception, there are many talented and hardworking federal employees. The real culprits are the large federal contracting companies that deliver subpar results and hide behind federal procurement bureaucracy. I wish DOGE would focus on that.

Trickle down theory is so old and boring. Instead, you can try this: If you tax the rich, they would lose sleep. If they lose sleep, they would be tired all the day and won't be able to work at optimal level. And if the rich do not work well, then the whole economy goes downhill. So, give them tax breaks and a good night sleep. It's good for the economy.

In my experience, team efficiency does not improve linearly with head count. A 100-person team may be 2 or 3 times more productive than a 10-person team. Collaboration efforts (process, bureaucracy, calls, meetings, mails, chats) increase exponentially with larger teams. AI can help with coding but not much with this collaboration process, at least not yet. Now, AI can make a small team much more productive because their collaboration overhead stays the same. But AI cannot help with a 100 person team because their collective collaboration overhead cannot be solved by AI. I guess the trend will move towards smaller sized teams that can effectively use AI.

while all of the above engineering solutions work, I wish they adopt a human centric solution. When there is too much demand and too little inventory, they could introduce some kind of lottery system where they accept partial payments through out the day and then randomly pick tickets in a lottery (individuals and group bookings as well). In this way, fans can avoid the mad rush, ticketing systems don't have to handle the peak mad rush for 10 minutes.

Apart from the above differences, another important difference is that OLAP is often columnar based, as opposed to the typical OLTP being row-based. So, OLAP queries use different kinds of index. Snowflake has introduced Hybrid tables where the same data is stored and indexed twice, once in OLAP columnar type and the other in OLTP style row index.
