Where are you seeing a 5x there? I see a 2x over the last 30 years for PC & Console - which are the expensive platforms to develop for. (If you're AA(A).)

> Just as Anthropic isn’t paying AWS SES $10,000,000 to send 1 email update

How much do you think emails cost? That number is just so far off?

But besides that, running SES is also quite a bit cheaper than SOTA ai models with high demand (and comparatively) no competition. And quite a bit more pressure to make money (soon).

I think it was a figurative example. For what it's worth, $10,000,000 buys you 100 billion (1e11) outbound emails on SES at the sticker price ($0.10/1000 emails). One source puts the number of emails sent worldwide in 2024 at 132 trillion (1.32e14).

But if their “figurative example” was the opposite of reality, then we should similarly assume their other claims were the opposite of true as well?

Is there any source on that?

All I'm seeing is they got their hands on the domain, which can be (and was in the past) just part of whatever settlement they agreed on, and the game press spinned that into "Nintendo bought Ryujinx".

Does not feel like it paid off for them. But SpacetimeDB might of course not be the reason for that.

The biggest competitor is Orca (pretty much the same product) and they even accuse Wiz of patent infringement. Trial starts in December. https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/ryjc8dgnr

Being owned by Google probably would help in those regards too now.

> Hasn't DeepSeek's novel training methodology changed all that? If the energy and financial cost for training a model really has drastically dropped, then frequent retraining including new data should become the norm.

Even if training gets way cheaper or even if it stays as expensive but more money gets thrown at it, you'll still run into the issue of having no/less data to train on?

True. One effective test for AGI might be the ability to first create a new language, then also write performant code in that language.

Because you have two parties of HN users that happily flag, which is enough. Those who are Trump supporters and those who just don't want any politics / the discussions surrounding it on HN. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doesn't seem to be a duplicate, so dang might unflag it and remove the filter if he sees the thread.

You can always email dang about Flags you think are unjust. He's pretty responsive and fair. Just checkout the contact page linked at the bottom

While I also agree with the sentiment that it's not the same, I think it's interesting that you use "googling" as a comparison.

Googling and extracting the right information efficiently is clearly a skill, and people do use it in wildly (and often inefficient/bad) ways. That might be less of an issue with your average HN user, but in the real world, people are bad at using Google.

That's actually not true. E.g. Nintendo fans vs Palworld / Pocket Pair.

You're actually proving his point.

Palword vs Nintendo is not a trademark case but a patent one. People in gaming are notably very much not in love of patents restricting what games can or can't do.

The block seems to be in effect since at least May: https://x.com/Forceultraomega/status/1795189735297605635

So unlikely has anything to do with a recent ban.
