Interested in improving the developer experience from the bottom up (databases, distributed systems, virtualization, etc.)

Currently building the best managed Postgres service at Snowflake, by way of Crunchy Data. Formerly at AWS working on macOS virtualization and (likely) the largest consensus and replicated WAL systems in the world.

There isn't. I'm 15% body fat, eat healthy (avoid saturated fats, prioritize fiber), exercise 5-6 times per week, and have hypercholesterolemia. I, along with my parents, have very high LDL and ApoB and nothing I can do about it in terms of diet, exercise, or weight.

I'm also not uncommon. They suspect as much of 30% of the population could be like this. There's a lot of ignorance in this thread.

I think it's fair to say they had achieved product-market fit when their revenues were growing deep triple digits month over month. What we're seeing now is that perhaps they have achieved profitability or at the least a more sustainable balance sheet.

People laugh at this, myself included in the past, but it works. I remember scoffing at AWS partnering with Deloitte and Accenture over a decade ago. My exact thoughts were "Our technology is great, why do we need these people to sell it?", and it turns out that selling to enterprises at scale is a lot more like an American high school experience than anything else.

You should try it out. I'm incredibly impressed with Qwen 3.5 27B for systems programming work. I use Opus and Sonnet at work and Qwen 3.x at home for fun and barely notice a difference given that systems programming work needs careful guidance for any model currently. I don't try to one shot landing pages or whatever.

Wouldn’t Cursor agreeing to such a deal be almost ironclad proof they are subsidizing tokens/inference out the ass? There’s wide speculation all the large revenue growing companies right now are selling inference at break even or a loss.

You are right that it is an environment variable, and that's how I have it set in my nix config. Thanks for correcting that.

Unfortunately llama.cpp is somewhat notorious for having lackluster docs. Most of the CLI tools don't even tell you what they are for.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, I guess it's because how your reply is worded. Anyway, Qwen3.7 35B-A3B should have intelligence on par with a 10.25B parameter model so yes Qwen3.5 27B is going to outperform it still in terms of quality of output, especially for long horizon tasks.

If you’d like the opposite of this story: I was reversing out of a parking spot. I had moved about 2 feet and a drunk driver hit and ran my vehicle. The driver was charged by police because driving at 40mph and hitting cars in a shopping center in broad daylight got a lot of attention.

I gave the video footage from my car to local police and insurance company and the insurance companies ruled I was at fault because I was in reverse.

I find it more likely that the entire "second" level of software companies are in OpenAI's cross hairs more so than Google. Salesforce, ServiceNow, Intuit, DocuSign, Adobe, Workday, Atlassian, and countless others are easier to pick off than Google.
