I don't think Qwen 27B would make much sense. I'm pretty sure Deepseek is cheaper to serve at scale (because of the small active parameter set) and is "smarter." At least that's what is reflected by 3rd party provider pricing on Openrouter.
Reliable Proton Mail, Drive, Calendar and Contacts integration
I think this could cause major problems for privacy guarantees.
IIRC a lot of big tech are lobbying for these laws. Raises barrier of entry for competitors, and makes it easier to harvest more accurate data from users.
In my experience (of having my office 2-doors down from the CEO of a minor public company), most of his "work" was just meetings with other CEOs and execs over breakfast, lunch, dinner, golf, etc to discuss business deals, acquisitions, and such. Not sure how an AI could do that, as it was mostly a social/class/nepotism thing.
New EVs are something like $10k more expensive than comparable ICE vehicles, so there are some Chevrolet and Nissan models for ~$30k. The divide is probably even closer for used.
doesn’t even bring anything new to the table regarding features
Are there other similar systems with better UX and the same or better privacy guarantees? That's Matrix's main feature (+ federation).
In my experience, GUI was horrible because of the GIL. Python is nice because you can write and read it quickly, and packages like numpy allow you to use very natural syntax. Most of the numerical packages wrap C/C++/Fortran binaries which are very optimized. You just have to keep in mind not to do that kind of stuff directly in Python, write tight loops, etc.
IDK about Sweden. In the US it seems to pay less, and the jobs are concentrated in different regions than other SWE jobs (which kind of mitigates the lower pay). I did embedded development for a couple years right out of college, then moved to full stack web development. I'm pretty sure the job market in the US is shit for every software development field. I think embedded development is harder to offshore (unless the entire project, electrical engineering and all is offshored). I did find the work very fun; often working in the physical world, and trying to find ways to stay within the CPU/RAM/Flash/Peripheral constraints. I remember once, I had to reverse engineer a piezo-motor controller by scoping the very expensive proprietary dev board, then I reimplemented the control signals by using a microcontroller's audio playback interface.
Year of the NetBSD Desktop!
But that’s what human programmers can do
I don't think humans can solve the undecidable problems. If I understand them correctly, they're like a law of nature; extends into mathematics, logic, and any formal system (e.g. Godel's Incompleteness Theorem).
they don’t want normal hair color like the rest of you
I think that's actually the case. Same with obvious plastic surgery.
Often need VC money. VCs often want to exit as quick as possible, which usually means getting bought out by large companies. Large companies often have quite a big "moat" with sky high barrier to entry. A startup is not going to be able to build a logistics network like Amazon's, for example. VCs are not in the business of competing; that's not what they want to hear when looking for companies to invest in.
Same (but only 6 months). Min wage + commission. But, during election season, because the company didn't get commission, they just had the computers run through the lists and have us immediately hang up instead of going through the campaign scripts.
