I spec'd up an implementation of this that uses a hardware button with colors that is in reach of either party. The customer went with a different vendor based on price/"complexity"/training.
We use Jamf Pro for a small company. I'm not a big fan of the minimum 20 seat pricing model. I hope this will be something small companies can move to easily and have enough coverage to satisfy security reviews.
Bait what exactly ? Getting the user to type "yes" ? Great accomplishment.
Sometimes I want the extra paragraph, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I like the suggested follow up, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I have half an hour in front of me to keep digging into a subject, sometimes I don't.
Why should the LLM "just write the extra paragraph" (consuming electricity in the process) to a potential follow up question a user might, or might not, have ? If I write a simple question I hope to get a simple answer, not a whole essay answering stuff I did not explicitly ask for. And If I want to go deeper, typing 3 letters is not exactly a huge cost.
I’m not privy to their data on what this does to engagement, but intuitively it seems like the extra inference/token cost this incurs doesn’t align with their current model.
If they were doing it to API customers, sure, but getting the free or flat-rate customers to use more tokens seems counterproductive.
We’ll see how this plays out. It’s a turbocharged version of enshittification, at a time when other models are showing stronger growth in B2B and other valuable markets.
I canceled my ChatGPT subscription and jumped to Claude, not for silly political theater, but just because the product was better for professional use. Looking at data from Ramp and others, I’m not alone.
Where ORMs are clearly weak is in generating suboptimal queries and making it too easy to create N+1 issues. My first introduction to ORMs was Ruby on Rails. You would rely on New Relic to identify performance issues and then fix them.
With solid AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md, I do not think this would happen as much anymore in new code. So then it is just a matter of style preference (ORM vs whatever else).
That's exactly why Oxyde has no lazy loading at all. If you don't call .join() or .prefetch(), related data simply won't be there. N+1 is impossible by design, not by discipline.
Profit is just one metric that affects the stock. YoY Revenue growth was historically in 40s and high 30% year on year. But last year was sub 20%. Investors are re-evaluation SaaS company multiples through a new lens of AI. Personally I wonder if Fortune 500 can renegotiate lower margin pricing with the "We could just build this with AI in house" BATNA argument.
I don't believe that - in my opinion, the school was deliberately targeted because the students studying there were mostly the children of Iranian military officials. Iran's military (surprisingly) has behaved in a very restrained manner in the last 2 years against Israel (and US), possibly on the advise of Russia and China, and that is why Israel and US have not been able to galvanise much international support for their aggression against Iran. The deliberate assassination of the Ayatollah (a religious muslim leader, who was 87+ years and soon to be replaced by the Iranians themselves) and targeted slaughter of the children of Iranian military officials is meant to provoke Iranians and Shia muslims elsewhere to commit acts of terrorism against the US and Israel. Then international outrage can be whipped up by the western media and NATO can be bulldozed to join the war and send soldiers into Iran.
The children of soldiers are not legitimate military targets.

Your opinion is wrong. There is no possibility of that being the justification for choosing a target. The American armed forces are too professional to do such a thing. Terror is not in our toolbox.
Americans and Europeans are in general, good people. But their political leaders, not so much. And this war is being run by a genocidal regime in Israel and the Trump administration. Moral values are the least of their concern ... (Also, I suspect the Israel regime of being the brains behind this attack. Hegeseth, the current Secretary of "war" is also a known muslim-hater, who wouldn't have been hard to persuade.).
