I guess AWS status page is never going to say "there's a war", but it says all-but:
> [...] one of our Availability Zones (mec1-az2) was impacted by objects that struck the data center, creating sparks and fire. The fire department shut off power to the facility and generators as they worked to put out the fire.
from the tweet above: "Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be."
I work for a commercial open source company, working on the open source product. I applied for it way back in the day and got it, and i still get the emails every month saying that they renewed my free grant.
This is all despite the company also paying for Github Copilot.
I mean, yes? A very broad spectrum of people need to use the internet, and cloudflare has inserted themselves in the middle of it.
I don't necessarily find a problem with them, but its weird how they boasted about massive scale and importance of this, but then only just went with 8 tests.
Nothing, but it will happen anyway. Maybe improved memory safety and security, at least as a plausible excuse to get funding for it. Perhaps also improved enthusiasm of developers, since they seem to enjoy the newness of Rust over working with an existing C++ codebase. Well there are probably many actual advantages to "rewrite it in Rust". I'm not in support or against it, just making an observation that the cultural trend seems to be moving that way.
This seems like the worst of both worlds.
