Yes but the clock has been ticking, new products are being released, and at some point they will be renegotiating the next contract

Yup, and it looks like it will be a tough negotiation:

iMessage… and safari. Browsing the web from a headless vps has hurdles.

Hooking things up to puppeteer maybe?

You can use pupeteer to then use the chromium control remote (debug?) option iirc which uses websockets underneath the hood

Then you can connect this from your pc or theoretically any Control server. Surprised to not hear much work on that front now that you mention it.


The CDP debugger is easily detectable client side and many websites will flag your traffic as undesirable

I didn't know that, Sorry about that, but is there no way to make CDP debugger less detectable. Seems doable to me but maybe there's a catch if its not already done by somebody maybe?

there is so many way to make it undetectable, but it is cat and mouse game.

The existing ultras are two max dies connected together with TSMC’s CoWoS-S interposer. But as I understand the interposer can have yield issues, so yes — you put two together, but it’s not quite as easy as snapping together legos.

How much of the capital investment that’s fueling the current expansion is already allocated?

No idea. Let's assume not all of it.

Or rather “country first and then postal code”. Zip code is a postal code but only one postal code is a zip code.

The legal address can absolutely matter for shipping when there are legal requirements in regards to the thing you’re shipping.

You’d absolutely have to determine that you’re in the US before asking for zip code.


The digits aren’t random though, some of them have meaning.

There are far more addresses than there are houses

You’re right that LLMs are going to push out jobs at the low end of the market. “Code monkey” type jobs are going to be displaced the same way computers displaced a lot of basic clerical and computational jobs.

But that doesn’t mean there won’t be entry level jobs, they will just have a different set of qualifications and expectations. Just like it’s hard to get a job doing arithmetic today without some other knowledge of the application, future jobs in computing are going to require people to understand things outside of the realm of programming alone. They are going to need to know more about the application of the code they write. It’ll be bad for developers who “just close Jira tickets” but problem solvers in a specific field will be okay.


So, what does that leave for the current new grads? The LLM field hasn't even stabilized yet, we're still pretty far from a defined set of qualifications. Yet hiring has already stopped due to economical factors. By the time it swings back, the new grads of tomorrow will already be graduating with these qualifications that we won't get to learn or develop with real jobs.

And what if this results in the overall market size decreasing? If a company can use LLMs effectively, they may need far fewer people to do the job they're doing than they used to. This would result in an exodus of everyone - biased towards the lower end, no doubt, but it would still hit everyone else and greatly worsen working conditions due to an oversupply of desperate people looking for work.


The job of pure “programming” will shrink and become more academic in scope. Jobs in industry will shift towards industry specific applied roles. It won’t be good enough to blindly build CRUD forms anymore.

Before calculators you could just get a job just doing arithmetic. The job was called actually called “computer”. There are still plenty of jobs doing math, but most are now mostly an application of math in a specific field. This trend has already started happening with low-code/no-code tools, and that will accelerate now.

If I were a new grad, I would brush up on my other skills outside of programming and look for jobs that require soft skills, analysis, etc. Or pick a highly regulated industry.

The days of sitting in a cube all day and working Jira tickets stipulated by someone else is coming to an end.
