Evals saturating faster is interesting. Do you think this is an indication of RL or training pipelines getting better over time at the labs, or is this primarily an indication of the data / RL-environment industry scaling up over time?

Well I am from India and did not take any standardized exit exam when graduating. We do have standardized entrance exams.

Providing API for building applications that have transactions and help with idempotent producing is really exciting. This will help lower a lot of pains associated with building stream processing systems. Doing it with very little performance overhead is amazing.

I do feel that calling it "Exactly-once delivery with kafka" is slightly misleading as this requires the applications to be written in a certain way. The title makes is sound too general and borders on claiming something that is close to impossible. I dont want to be too critical here as the author was very honest with what this means in the blog post. Regardless of the title this is an amazing feature.

You dont get taxed until you sell. The performance shown here is for a buy and hold strategy.

People expect this market to grow rapidly which is accounted for in the higher valuation.

Mining bitcoins may be non profitable, but I recovered my investment in less than 3 months of alt coin mining.

I think even those who are not worried about their next meal are not going to protest this. India has seen so many terror attacks labeled as intelligence failure that any move to beef up the intelligence infrastructure may even be welcomed. The sad thing is that the probability of this data being misused for political reasons is so much higher in India than in the USA.

I dont know if bitcoins will ever stabilize or go down to zero but I also believe that no one can be so sure about how a free market is going to behave to just write it off at this moment.

Bitcoins slipped into speculative realm a couple of weeks ago and probably after the crash the speculators will exit the market. A stable bitcoin can easily serve the three functions you listed above. As I said in my first comment this volatility raises questions about longvity of bitcoins but they have not ceased to be real money, at least for now.

It is just a 3-4 year old technology lets wait and watch how this plays out before writing it off completely.

If we get down to the basics I think anything that is a medium of exchange is a currency. So in some circles cigarettes and Tide work as currency. Though these "currencies" are not legal tender.
