Off-topic, but it always amuses me that the sleepy town of Livermore, CA, known locally for its vineyards and an outlet mall, is immortalized in the Periodic Table, instead of the other greater places like New York or Chicago.
Chicago even had the world's first nuclear reactor, but no luck.
Ytterby is an otherwise pretty insignificant small town of 6k inhabitants in Sweden, but it has FOUR elements named after it: yttrium, terbium, ytterbium, and erbium.
It's a bit unfair. ChatGPT has a version that is so expensive that it appears nobody on that leaderboard used it [1]. It is called ChatGPT 5 Pro and its priced at $120/1M tokens. Claude Opus 4.5 has a price of $25/1M tokens [2]. Gemini 3 Pro is $18/1M tokens (assuming more than 200k tokens) and Sonnet 4.5 is $22.5/1M tokens (same assumption). I would expect that ChatGPT 5 Pro would be better than any of these other models, but I have no way of testing.
The next most expensive OpenAI model is ChatGPT 5.1, which costs only $10/1M tokens, so significantly cheaper than all its competitors. It seems to me that's fair for this model to come on the 3rd or 4th place, given that.
Having marginally better models is not winning the race. Their models are good but their products are bad, or at least not the best. They aren’t winning in adoption and this is currently a market share battle.
I can argue that Firefox is marginally better than Chrome but that doesn’t mean Firefox is winning the race does it?
I think everyone uses jj a bit differently. Personally I don't like having a staging area; for me it's an opportunity to forget to add a change to a commit. I don't keep files in my work tree that I'm not going to commit or ignore.
But when I first moved to jj I tried to make it work as closely to git as I could. The model I used back then was to have a commit that I meant to upload eventually, and then a working commit on top of that. Then `git commit --all` was `jj squash` and `git commit foo bar` was `jj squash foo bar`.
Eventually I got lazy. It was an extra command, and I almost never have the situation where I don't want to include a file. In the rare case that I do, I'll create a new commit with `jj new` and squash that file into there (you could have a shortcut for it, but the long form is `jj new -m "foo changes" --no-edit && jj squash --to @+ foo`, and then keep working.
I think it is going to be a set-top device that casts to the TV with built in sensors and a camera to enable you to FaceTime with your AI assistant/friend.
While I agree (and strongly identify with, and like this position), one could amend the original to be "Gen-X uses pens and print, Boomers use pens and cursive"
"Eh-de-de-de-de. Don't quote me regulations... I co-chaired the committee that reviewed the recommendation to revise the color of the book that regulation is in. We kept it gray."
I just sold my Harley (literally this morning). And you're totally right about the vibe. I had a 2017 Roadster (a much more upright bike than the cruisers you think of when you think of Harleys) and any time someone asked, I'd explain "I ride a Harley, but I'm not a 'Harley guy'". I would never roll around with other Harley riders.
I think the most telling thing was that when I priced my bike out, average mileage for that bike at that age was ~6500 miles. Which made my 52,000 miles a liability.
It's much more than a 5% decline. I started keeping track of Harley dealers around 2019. When I started tracking, the website listed 1859 locations around the world. Of those, 58 looked like merch stores (no bike sales, no services), so let's call it 1801. The last time I updated my stats was 18 months ago, and the number was 1409. I just looked today and it's 1237. So that's a reduction of just over 31%.
I haven't plugged today's number into my analysis, but the 2024 numbers showed some countries hit much more disproportionately than others. All of the stores in Russia have been closed (for mostly obvious reasons). Almost all of the stores in Central America and the Caribbean have also closed (for not-obvious reasons). In the US I'd say the number looks somewhere between 5 and 10%, but again, that doesn't take into account the last 18 months.
