> Seeing software as investment avoids speaking about "technical debt" by speaking about "value"

People already see their efforts as an investment, but that doesn't stop Debt from accruing over time. There will always be parts in your software that could have been written better, and that's Debt.

No, debt isn't "parts of your software that could have been written better". Any part of your software can always be written better. Debt is the cost you have to pay monthly to keep your application working—it's the parts of your codebase that make it harder to work on new features.

> 'Very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMs,' Meta says.

Then why didn't you make the opt-in default like Signal and WhatsApp? :-)

Instagram wasn't set up this way. If you install it on a new phone or open it in-browser, you aren't expected to give it a recovery key to get your DMs back. They did add e2ee for FB Messenger, and it was very clunky besides not being secure at all (6-digit numeric pin).

Because either you have:

1. An E2E system where the provider has de facto access to the encrypted data, or

2. You shift key management to the users and let them risk data loss.

Either way:

a. The provider can release an app version at any time that accesses the data on the client side, and

b. Most of your users cannot differentiate between E2EE and SSL/TLS, nor are they interested in doing so, nor they care about it.

i never even knew they had e2e available, so they cannot have been too serious about people opting in.

a shame that they now have to shut it off because people didn't use something they didn't know existed /s

They are hopping on for endorsements, election funds, and votes from his followers.

"use all of the compute capacity at their Colossus 1 data center"

So, they handed out all of their data center to Anthropic; Grok wasn't using it much?

Moved to Colossus 2. Though I guess you could still frame it as 'don't they need Collosus 1 AND 2' if you want...

Point On! Probably done by two different teams, who don't know about each other. I hate this (re)captcha so bad. They assume everyone is bad.

> possibly because of fears that someone will trick the agent into giving them a refund or something.

Refunds could require approval. And, it could not be just the agent's sole decision.

Not if you want to write code by yourself.

I think there should be another page 'GitHub is NOT down'. Needless to say, for all the other times it's Down.

It’s worth mentioning here - the founder (Dhiru bhai) of Reliance used to pump gas in Dubai and that’s where he got the dream to start his own refinery one day. Dream one side, but just going about setting up such a giant production facility at an enormous scale is nothing short of an extraordinary achievement. Pretty sure he had overflow of grit, commitment, and all around strength, and of course high dose of highest level of talent.

Nah, he did it the old-fashioned way - by corruption and dirty dealing, then his family suppressed the people reporting the truth:

They're still playing above the law and read anti-corruption regulations as "how to" manuals.
