Anthropic seems to be playing the giant-tech-rent-capture game that all of the old guards have done for the past few years. We thought that the new age of AI might bring some fresh air into the mix, but I guess that optimism quickly faded.
This was inevitable, better now than later when the damage is less widespread. Now clawdbot (or whatever they decide to call themselves) will have to respond with better security safety nets. Individually will always naively download whatever is on the internet. Platforms needs to safeguard against that.
Remember the early days of Windows? yea it's gonna happen again with AI.
auto-generated GraphQL clients works really well if you have a larger codebase and large team. You can think of it as a forced high quality documentation.
If you are working in a small project with just a few engs. The additional lift for GraphQL might not be worth it. Especially if the team is not already well versed.
well, these robots will be operating in highly competitive markets offering 2-3 day shipping so Bangladeshi packers will not be in those labor markets.
With raising minimal wage in the US. We are likely looking at $10/hr in various markets. These robots run 24/7 so that is 1024365 = $87k saved per year. Even with depreciation counted in, it sounds pretty economical to me.
I have no doubt that a certain portion of workers benefitted from the new policy while some portion of workers did not. It is too early for anyone to judge the policy without the numbers being published from Amazon. My issue with the article is that it presents a single story of a person who was hurt by the policy and extrapolate that to be the overall tone at Amazon. This article relies on sensational and emotional aspects of one story, rather than facts and statistics.
How do you defend the statement "Each sensor creates a sphere of intelligence and the more data they collect, the smarter they get."
Do you mean each device gets smarter individually because the specific device learned more about the specific space? Or that there is some kind of supervised learning component where you would adjust the algorithm/model over time for every device.
Being the president-elect has its perks. One of which is the ability to summon tech industry's biggest CEOs & Execs. If anyone knows what they were chatting about, please do share!
There is also more hype about React than Angular. I don't exactly think that React is a 'better' framework than Angular. But the truth is the dev ecosystem loves React, which gives React Native a huge edge. I do believe that NativeScript would have been more popular than React Native if Angular(2) was more popular than React.
It really depends on the volume and size of your sale.
If you have high volume and low cost, you are better off going with something simple like Stripe/Braintree. The fees are relatively high, but the ease of implementation could be worth it.
If you have low volume and high cost, you should consider something that supports ACH payments. Like Dwolla or Stripe ACH. Stripe ACH only charges $5 max per transaction. That is great is you are selling $1k+ per unit.
The concept is fantastic. I do think that some details need to be ironed out for it to be developer-friendly.
Good:
1) I love higher abstraction for things that just work. I hate writing boilerplate code to do simple stuff. JS and Redis caching is one that I often have to write boilerplate code for.
2) Cheap and simple way to improve performance.
Bad:
1) Lacking fall-back mechanism and transparency about what would happen if error occurs, connection dies, etc.
2) One common reason (at least for me) people use redis caching instead of local caching is to have caching across difference servers or even services. How do you deal with conflict resolution and asynchronous operations?
