It means prices will go up and service/quality will go down. I already consider the service sort of at a base state. If it gets any worse, it will just go under. Which is what they want.
it's a fun toy, not a serious benchmark. The gameable signals (followers, issues) are deliberately log-scaled and down-weighted so it's not trivially hacked
Its a card for fun, not a leaderboard to optimize your life around.
Until somebody comes along and uses it for that. Fun toy turns into decision making tool that the creator never intended. Maybe nothing will come of it. That's just my unfiltered opinion on it. I don't assume malicious intent, only identifying the possible vector.
Capitalists usually recoup gains rather than re-investing in people or working in new verticals. This gels with companies who would rather do anything else than grow.
We need stronger goverment and socialist revokution! Strong socialist goverment invest it to people! Socialist goverment would not starve people, torture, or just send them somwehere else (those examples do not count)
Wasn't really trying to take the socialist view. Merely stating what usually happens. Grow the business usually means make more money in the easiest way possible (cost cutting usually) rather than invest in future gains.
And Americans leave because employers will just replace them with offshoring and h1bs to save money. It's a self perpetuating cycle. Loyalty goes both ways. Employees finally realized that they should be treating employers like employers have always treated employees. That's capitalism.
How are we not full circle back to the early 00's with this design? It didn't really catch on then. Maybe this time? Wasn't a big fan of it then. Still not.
Over the years through my own involvement in sports and physically demaning jobs with trying a lot of different supplementation, I've come to the conclusion that most (if not all) supplements provide little to no value beyond a good diet. If they do, they're either illigal as non-perscription and/or require regular physician monitoring use correctly.
The meaningfull context here was "good diet". If middle distance runners ate for middle distance running would they need to take beta alanine? E.g. ate more organ meat which contains high levels of beta alanine.
How much organ meat do you think would be needed daily to have an optimal dosage of beta alanine? What side effects are associated with eating large quantities of organs meats regularly?
Honestly, likely not that much. From what I've found you can get recommended dosage and more from just eating the right foods. Right meaning foods rich in what you're looking for. Now in context that may be hard for some people or they just don't like those foods. So supplementing makes sense.
I support their anecdote. Any "supplements" that have significant effects are highly regulated and somewhat risky. Worrying about things that will make a 1-2% difference isn't worth the time, just workout one more rep.
The amount you can work out (at intensity) is limited by your recovery time.
Thus you take that "supplement" and can do one more rep, or go to gym extra time a week, especially if it comes to "regulated and risky" supplements, then you can do many, many more reps.
The point is, supplements will mostly only help you shore up deficiencies in your diet and generally won't do it as effectively as eating right. No matter how much supplementation you do, you can't out-run a bad diet.
I would say not really. This pretty much only fits the exact use case for its specific niche need. E.g. operating in RF adverse/non-recoverable environments. Otherwise it's a waste. So technically it's still not "popular" in the sense of general popularity. You're not going to see your general drone pilot rushing to put fiber optic on thier drone. This also isn't a new concept. Its the same thing as wire-guided missiles that have been around since WWII.
The API is compatible, and even if it weren't, it wouldn't matter anyway; everybody has been writing OpenAI API-compatible proxies, including Google, for months now. The only thing that matters is availability, throughput, cost per token (Google is ahead of everyone here: Vertex API is insanely cheap for what it does, Batch API at 50% discount, Prompt Caching at 75%, fully multimodal, better performance in multilingual tasks so actually useful outside the U.S. etc etc etc)
