The site linked to is a blog post about the app. The actual site is linked in there, and if you follow that link there are examples.

OP probably should have put an example in this post. That said they look like... syntax highlighted code.

Then compare, say, Massachusetts to high functioning north Europe systems. You will shrink the lifestyle and climate factors down to a pretty minuscule difference, but you will still find that the spending is dramatically higher.

You're not wrong at all that the US has some systematic issues that place additional strain on the healthcare system, but it's a "yes and" situation here. Even accounting for those, we spend far, far too much because our system is extractive.

On the basis that public corporations are exclusively a legal construct which can, and indeed already do, have arbitrary rules. Should the individual wish to maintain control over their company they can simply keep it private indefinitely.

100%, I thought about writing that out explicitly. I really feel like we are extremely close to reaching that kind of breaking point for most folks LLM use cases.

> Fable is probably at least as good as the average software engineer and costs $50/wk on the max plan vs a software engineer who would cost closer to $4000 a week.

That's because the max plans are _massively_ subsidized. At API pricing the kind of usage to replace the value of a SWE is going to be way, WAY more than $50/wk. Orders of magnitude more. And to remain a frontier model org that kind of pricing has to continue in perpetuity.

I think the question is even a bit more nuanced than that. Even if frontier models can maintain a big gap that gap has to actually _matter_. If a local model satisfies my everyday use cases adequately then I may not really care that a frontier model is 5, 10, 100x better at ultra high order reasoning tasks.

I think that reality is probably not all that far off for a huge swath of use cases.

Zoom out and you'll see the hidden message

You know sorta feels to me like some new physical tech would be warranted here. Something with a good amount of storage, very quick I/O, and read/writable. More like a fancy thumb drive than a disk. Let the version on it be updated by the system to stay current, gain add on content, etc.

Xbox makes an enormous amount of money from a few long running properties (the letter in question mentions Mojang and King), but basically every big move and acquisition they have made for the past 10 years has been catastrophic.

I don't really have an opinion on Sharma since she's very green, but Phil Spencer's tenure was an unmitigated disaster. The strategy of rolling up studios and trying to grow through GamePass both completely backfired, with the studios producing few and generally unsuccessful games, and GamePass failing to convert casual players while demolishing your take from your hardcore players.

Was definitely time for major change at XBOX. Is this the right direction? I have no idea.

Well it was Phil Spencer, who got fired. They basically cleaned house in management already.

Gleam and Rust are really not alike at all aside from the most superficial ways. A couple bits of syntax, and the use of toml are about all I can come up with.

The Northeast doesn't have a dry season, and I don't think anyone seriously thinks it's going to develop one. It just has occasional dry periods because precipitation is pretty chaotic, and is getting more chaotic due to climate change. When one of those happens there's some fire risk, like has just happened. "The Northeast is becoming fire country" is just unabashed scare mongering.

Local grocery stores have basically been extinct for decades- and realistically that isn't that surprising given they mostly sell commodity products. We don't need to let restaurants suffer the same fate.
