this trolling

I’ve listened to thousands of hours of great music since. What an awesome streaming service.

hey @Iberia

I paid extra for a flexible ticket. Now I'm trying to cancel it.

WhatsApp says: call customer service.
Customer service says: use WhatsApp.
The phone bot hangs up before connecting me to an agent.
This is absurd. Can someone please explain how a customer is supposed to get a refund?

go into debt if you have to

happy monday to all prompt factory workers

haven't checked the methodology yet, but matches my gut feeling

[Yoshik @AskYoshik]

The AI numbers are starting to look very ugly.

Even under "best case" assumptions, FT's own data shows Microsoft AI ROI at -9%, Google at -15%, Meta at -28%, Oracle at -35%. Only Amazon barely comes out positive.

This is exactly why I keep comparing this to the dot-com era. Incredible technology does not automatically mean sustainable economics. The internet survived. Most internet companies didn't.

Right now hyperscalers are spending trillions hoping future demand catches up to present capex. That's not certainty. That's a leveraged bet.

@mr_r0b0t @NousResearch @Teknium Is it better that vercel’s agent-browser?

"LLM tokens are a lossy

Google’s internal incentives are to build new stuff to get rewarded/promo’d. Maintaining something existing is not that promo-worthy.

It’s why every year there’s a new product for the same thing. Oh, migrating customers also not promo-worthy.

Why Google is so chaotic

[Kirill Chernakov @Kiryous]

@simonlast Curious, what did you ship with this approach?

[Kirill Chernakov @Kiryous]

@simonlast How about cost?

Earlier this year I was getting frustrated with Claude's charts, fed this book to claude and had it generate a Tufte skill. Instantly got simpler/more beautiful visualizations.

Every time I want to hate on datadog they build a product that is just well executed and well branded and this is why they have everyone’s money

Am i missing something? I remember Railway bragging about running on its own bare metal infra

[Railway @Railway]

Google Cloud has blocked our account, making some Railway services unavailable. We have escalated this directly with Google. The Railway Platform team has since confirmed access to Google Cloud and is working on restoring access to all workloads.

We have access to some of our Google Cloud–hosted infrastructure and are working to restore the rest of the service. We apologize for the disruption.
