I build bicycles. I was shocked when our internal team built a bicycle that goes to the moon
We are afraid to release it to the public! And thus we are shutting down the company. We don't want humans polluting Moon and the atmosphere and space!
how well does the battery hold up after that long?
Mine is only like 2-3 years old and I charge it so rarely. I can read several entire books on a charge easily. It lasts months. I imagine even if the battery degraded significantly it would be quite usable.
I replaced the battery in mine. Unlike big tech, I believe in repairing old devices.
Something Amazon have not considered is how many of these old devices are used as companion devices for other high end kindle owners. I have a scribe and old paperwhite and use them interchangably, with cloud sync of reading position etc, which won't be possible after 20 may.
My paper white is about 7/8 years old, and is still holding up fine though the battery is noticeably degraded - charging it approximately once a week now.
I was also having a play with a demo model of the latest one in a store and the page turn speed is much much better, which is tempting me to upgrade though I'd prefer to run the current one into the ground first.
Give the whole scheme some sort of mile multiplier and you will get high-freq fliers salivating over taking a llm flight with a 12 hour layover in Iceland to get to Portland from New York for those sweet miles.
Let companies manage to automate 100% of their processes by having their own country/law/constitution!
Companies produce goods which people consume. If you hand everything over to the oligarch class, how will people consume products built by companies???
So, tracing back to the original comment in this thread, Go and Rust were failures due to them having insufficient mindshare? If anything, people have often criticized the Rust community for marketing too much.
This is also the same company who uses electron for their tooling rather than platform specific binaries generated by Opus! If their LLMs are that good why do they need to use electron?
Yeah, agreed. Unironically they would be better off using GTK or winUI and the mac equivalent.
They’ve supposedly driven the cost of code to zero, right? So platform specific versions with a shared core should be easy. So where are the better products?
