How does ownership work within the Lisp tree structure?, What is the difference between ownership on this setting and ARC?

if 100% of the money they spend is in inference priced by tokens (they don't say about subscriptions so i asume they lost money), yes they make money, but their expenses are way higher than inference alone. so they can make the gpu cost if they sell tokens but in reality this isnt the case, becouse they have to constaly train new models, subscription marketing, R&D, And overhead. antropic in general lost way less money than their competitors i will take this number in particular the projected break even but googling say Gross margin in this case is how much money they do whit the GPU " Gross Margins: Projected to swing from negative 94% last year to as much as 50% this year, and 77% by 2028. Projected Break-even: The company expects to be cash flow positive by 2027 or 2028. "

i will not be as bullish to say they will no colapse (0 idear how much real debt and commitments they have, if after the bubble pop spending fall shraply, or a new deepseek moment) but this sound like good trajectory (all things considered) i heavily doubt the 380 billions in valuation

"this is how much is spendeed in developers between $659 billion and $737 billion. The United States is the largest driver of this spending, accounting for more than half of the global total ($368.5 billion in 2024)" so is like saying that a 2% of all salaries of developers in the world will be absorbed as profit whit the current 33.3 ratio, quite high giving the amount of risk of the company.

From what I understand, they make money per-token billing. Not enough for how much it costs to train, not accounting for marketing, subscription services, and research for new models, but if they are used, they lose less money.

Finance 101 tldr explanation: The contribution margin (= price per token -variable cost per token ) this is positive

Profit (= contribution margin x cuantity- fix cost)

I believe regular people will not change from chatGPT if it has some ads. I know people who use "alternative" wrappers that have ads because they aren't tech savvy, and I agree with the OP that this could be a significant amount of money We aren't 700 million people that use it.

DeepSeek-v3.1 11 months ago

I remember asking for quotes about the Spanish conquest of South America because I couldn't remember who said a specific thing. The GPT model started hallucinating quotes on the topic, while DeepSeek responded with, "I don't know a quote about that specific topic, but you might mean this other thing." or something like that then cited a real quote in the same topic, after acknowledging that it wasn't able to find the one I had read in an old book. i don't use it for coding, but for things that are more unique i feel is more precise.

It's not just porn, it's depictions of rape, from what I’ve read. So I don’t know if it’s really good for people to consume that kind of content. Real-life safe sex involves consent, which is obviously not the objective of this game. I believe this type of material can be genuinely harmful to our brains.

Even though I’m against using payment processing restrictions, I do believe we need laws to prohibit this kind of content. There’s data suggesting that it impacts real people's behavior during sex and shapes harmful social expectations.

Not really china make big policy bet a decade early and win the battle the put the whole government to buy this new tech before everyone else, forcing buses to be electric if you want the federal level thumbs up, or the lottery system for example.

So I disagree, probably Europe will be even more behind in ev if they doesn't push eu manufacturers to invest so heavily in the industry.

You can se for example than for legacy manufacturers the only ones in the top ten are Europeans being 3 out of 10 companies, not Japanese or Korean for example, and in Europe Volkswagen already overtake Tesla in sales Q1 for example and Audi isn't that much away also.

You can tax plastic also that will more than move the demand you can even use this tax for plasma gasification making more expensive to use and less to reuse.

I personally believe that this doesn't hold, more and more competition outside of webpage, means that we check less and less pages each year, I feel ai could be a savior by destroying the whole internet by spaming SEO websited, and make small pages the only way to find something

I don't check the project deeply yet so I don't comment about it.

That's not true Dropbox was in the technical edge when it came, and old time ago, was barely possible, and the recurrent cost of the severs and operation cost is clearly not the same. And pay Foss GUIs are sad state of reality

I would recommend windows x86 or Linux x86 or arm/riscv (emulator ) Linux mostly because you probably have hundreds of resources instead of couple of them whit the other platforms

Yes but reality is even worst maven projects take f*"* eternity like the post says, you have tens of atomyse package that make simple task that should take seconds take minutes, while the fast in go is not only the compilation time, but that 28000 is in real word case,at least it'd feels like this for experience.

Yes but jython am iron aren't the standard, and I feel the more relevant part is inertia, puppy is design whit lots of concern of compatibility, then being the new standard can totally make difference making both cases not a good comparison.

React Lua 2 years ago

Why does the market cap allow you to decide about other people's projects? Lua is used in many places, and its users aren't all employees of Roblox. Lua is popular because it works in a way that sometimes breaks backward compatibility, making the language as easy and lean as it is. If there's a disagreement on how it should be used, just fork it like Roblox did.
