Hasn't Cloudflare been investing on AI infra for a couple of years now?

Probably related to RAM and storage prices going up just like with the PS5.

If the market had been saturated then there wouldn't have been any (hypothetical) revenue growth which is what the comment above was arguing. Personally I don't think there was any revenue g…

If using AI had a "substantial profit or revenue growth" wouldn't it make more sense to hire more people so they can use more AI and increase revenue?

My read of this: Their AI costs have increased 600% but this hasn't translated into actual revenue. Also they are probably projecting AI costs to keep growing. They've done the math and at s…

Also, does this affect Chrome for iOS, Android, and iPadOS?

UI is like a joke. If it needs explaining, it's bad.

Attacking someone is probably the worst version of the argument you could make.

It's not about AI. I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't be ok with eg a calculator app shipping a 4GB word processor.

is this only for desktop or will they bloat phones and tablets too?

> No need for unlimited growth Well then at some point you need to stop growing.

> Then they can't brag to the shareholders about Chrome being "AI Powered" Or at least justify the hundreds of billions they are burning

And when the agent fucks up badly (as we've seen over and over again) who will be held accountable? The user?

> LLMs are inherently unpredictable. Exactly my point. If the tool is inherently unpredictable AI companies should either be held accountable for any mistakes or should not sell/market their…

> Even in that quote, I do not say that the user must be responsible. I didn't say that. I made a question so you could elaborate which human you were referring to.

AI companies: here's a knife so you can automate bread cutting! User: I tried to cut some bread and it cut my finger instead. AI companies: not my problem! HN: The AI didn't cut your finger,…

> Retain full human responsibility and accountability for any consequences arising from the use of AI systems So if the tool doesn't do what it's supposed to be doing we should blame th…

Started using Bun last year for some quick tests and it ended up fully replacing Node for any new projects after using it for over a decade. I've reduced my dependencies 5-10x. Got full TS and JS…

Every approach has its pros and cons. OTOH the less you rely on third party deps, the less attack surface.

I use Bun and I'm concerned too but it's still too early to tell. Personally my experience with Bun has been 100% positive so far. I'm aware full Node support is not there yet and may n…

> and it has started supporting TypeScript out of the box Node only does type stripping though. If you want proper TS support you still need a compiler. > I don’t think Bun will have many adv…

Amazing that Microsoft didn't see this coming after aggressively pushing AI everywhere for years.

I use these settings when creating a tar file for deploy: tar --no-xattrs --no-mac-metadata -czf

I honestly doubt it will make much of a difference. A good percentage of people who would download the cracked games would not have bought those anyway. And with Steam being so convenient it's ha…

> that comes to about $6.8 Million in engineering AI spend That would be per month. Per year it would be $81.6M. A small fraction compared to the R&D budget but still a huge amount of cash to…
