Does that include R&D?

Over time that margin persists only if they maintain their competitive edge, which is not free.

Sounds like he shipped the game.

Imagine if that approach was taken when the early iPhone antenna didn’t work, or the screens broke more easily. Cheer up mate !

Vertical integration is not silly. But you do need to figure out what you’re really good at. And for some people (companies) vertical integration makes sense and for others it does not.

Simple organisational dynamics. The bad actors are adopting the new tools faster. Things will settle down, as the larger (defensive) orgs catch up.

Every life is lived once. We are always rediscovering what came before us.

I like this analogy as it reflects how I’ve been using and thinking about the new tools. Just yesterday I built a thing and ripped out half of it, after realising it was solving two problems and wanted to focus on one. It got me a prototype quickly (the shape of a vase?), but I’m nowhere near a finished product.

Are you willing to propose and implement the solutions? If so, there are lots of companies that would love to have you!

Sounds like you now have your audience for the previously proposed solution.

It’s a more useful tool than no tool. We are talking about predicting the future after all…

Sounds like his family is in a pickle if he’s out of town and the server goes down.

Agreed. Similar diagnosis by the sounds of it.

The fact that you’re commenting here tells me you have tremendous mental strength.

If I can add, for the benefit of other readers… One thing I learned is every case is different. Different cancer. Different body. Different support network. I’d suggest to anyone hit by this bus to never lose hope and keep an open mind about options (second opinions, calling in favours, moving, etc). Wishing you all the best.

Why does this supposed distinction matter? Just learn the tools of the trade to solve bigger problems.

It is funny. At some point the code is the specification.

I also found inconsistent results (across time and similar inputs) which made it useless for me. I reverted to using LLMs for coding machine learning. I get deterministic outputs that make sense to me, but don’t have to know the ins and outs of how it works (given how it’s applied). I may try Jev in the future for a new problem but unlikely to refactor something that works.
