@gagu_sh Good to know 😸

General question as say if the AI bubble does pop and Oracle goes the the way side.

What happens to java, does the organizing committee go poof, or will some company like vmware grab it up (owns spring boot)

Of all the pizza chains I thought would go bankrupt first, I would've never guessed Papa John's before Pizza Hut.

Anyone else surprised?

@IamAroke Add a Mobius transformation algo. Get infinite

@hiarun02 Pay 100 for Gemini ultra. Worth every penny. Get free cloud storage, $100 in H100 compute, $40 in gcp credits, and YT premium. With access to top models, again...

Worth every penny

@ash_twtz Didn't OpenAI fall short of last funding round even after forcing a lower valuation?

@akramcodez With what RAM, I gave min away to RAM Altman

[B. Northern @ZeroDarkDev]

Now that's a gain

@coolerputt ton of people scrape yahoo with various libs. Getting nasdaq data is costly, otherwise check various free crypto exchanges.

Well, that's interesting, @squarespace.

Entered the wrong authentication code, navigated directly to my account page, and was logged in anyway.

Session handling bug or something more interesting?

@coolerputt I have no idea, python isn't my strongest understanding. I know SQL and G&M more than python, lol

Hot take from my CS department's 40th anniversary:

Someone said we can't predict the next 40 years of computing.

I disagree.

40 years ago, we were nowhere near silicon's physical limits. Today we're fighting physics for incremental gains.

Even carbon-based electronics won't magically reset the clock.

I think the next 40 years will be defined more by optimization than breakthroughs.

What hardware revolution are we actually expecting?

@icanvardar Disagree. Not in tech but in the war, they've won. They have more users than all others combined.

In every iPhone and Android on the market.

@azazbutt5 @GeminiApp Why I bit the bullet for ultra + they give you $100 in free H100 compute with Google collab every month

@0xPrajwal_ I love it for complex tasks, but often enough 3.8 flash medium is good enough and uses less tokens.
