Great. New fab in the West. It's just power stuff; silicon carbide FET and whatnot. Still, if concern for "sovereignty" is what it takes for bedroom community Europe to get off the dime, then good for them. Better than being industrial vassals of the US, China and Russia, which is where they've been heading. Feel free to make more "sovereign" fabs.

From outside, an IR imager should be able to see the heat from a leak. But who knows; one would imagine if it were that easy they'd have done it 7 years ago, when this crap Russian module's chronic leak issues began. My inner cynic thinks this is probably political; competent people aren't being permitted to deal with it.

They'll deal with it when some hatch or docking port blows out and sucks a couple people into space wearing NASA tee shirts. I'm rather certain about that much.

The IPO push is tied to their profit forecasts, and they expect to be profitable in Q2. They're revenue is growing rapidly and it's likely true they'll actually turn their first profit, so don't bet against it.

I guess its all those multi billion dollar dot coms that were later sold for a fraction of their IPO valuation

Sure. That could happen again. And again. It's even likely with these LLM operators. A few years from now the necessary hardware be lower cost and lower power. The models they've built will be cloned and surpassed by multiple competitors.

But in the immediate future investors will fill Anthropic's pockets. One benefit in all this is that there will be more scrutiny of the spending, which will create friction in the both the Buy All The Silicon and Datacenters Everywhere departments: the investors of both Anthropic and OpenAI will want to milk the value of tokens while spending as little as possible and avoiding risk.

Then I hope yours won't be hurt by this little factoid- you're a fucking moron.

As someone who has had several 5-minutes-of-fame CVEs attributed to me, I can assure you that all programmers suck, particularly those wielding C. You're no exception. Neither am I. Despite 20 years of experience, and many hundreds of thousands of lines of C to my name doing work right now around the world.

I'm far from a Rust fanboi- I find the syntax revolting. I know a lot of that is personal taste, and that I'm old, and that's not going to change.
All that being said, it's simply undeniable that all code is going to have bugs, and a language that makes certain classes of bugs impossible is going to have less.

Remember, what matters are facts- not feelings.

Code proofs?
I assume you're referring to formal verification of a particular program.

You can't prove all software. That's literally saying the halting problem is solvable.
Formal verification of all software written would drop the world's aggregate code output to a few lines per day.

Of course programmers should avoid bugs. However, unlike whether any arbitrary program will halt, your statement that any programmer that doesn't isn't is provably false.

small overall difference? complete fucking horse shit.

Opus 4.7 is vastly better than DeepSeek 4.
That being said, DeepSeek 4 is cheaper, and it's open.
Not giving money to Dario is a great reason to burn a little more time using DS.

DS is dumber... like a lot dumber. It'll look at something and tell you, "the problem is X", when it's obviously not X. But if you keep throwing tokens at the problem, it will eventually figure it out.

Republicans shut up about states rights.

As your dumb ass was typing that, The big orange Nazi (R) is having his DOJ sue in federal court to have this Minnesota state law overturned.

Beyond that, this isn't even a partisan issue. This is about "tribes." Reservation casinos. You see, moron, Minnesota tribes don't want competition for wager money in the People's Republic of Minnesota. They oppose any attempt to introduce additional gambling beyond what was already established before their rise in influence: sports betting, prediction markets, whatever. Being a cultural pressure group, their casino money pays for lots of (D)s in the state legislature. And those (D)s do their job, outlawing what they're told and mouthing stuff about "safety" or whatever, providing a plausible narrative.

So congratulations. You're officially a Useful Idiot.
