Not sure from jeweler perspective, they might be hard to put into jewelry.
But synthetic sapphire is relatively easy to produce, enough that it’s used for watch faces.

Sapphires are awesome and easy to produce
We need to separate the feeling of driving from practicality. EVs are pleasant to drive for sure. Having to plan your trips around charging is annoying, there isn’t really much progress there.
The only reason I want a car is to do spontaneous trips to less populated areas. I already have range anxiety, I top up as soon as I’m below 1/3 of the tank. Batteries make it worse.
Surprisingly not completely out of touch, companies suffering from middle management long predates AI.
Of course he falls into the same error as most corporate people assuming that people are born with skills rather than trained for them. Why not retrain that 20% into builders and sellers.
Did they try making it good?
What sucks even more is that Palantir are actually good at what they do. They delivered an IT project to a government agency without going insanely over budget, or failing completely. I hate it when bad guys are competent.
The 2 remaining devs using Copilot will leave it.
It’s rare to see such a clear example of first-mover disadvantage as GitHub Copilot.
Ah, I see you were exposed to Scott Manley’s narrative style

Well duh. That’s how training an LLM works
Disclaimer: I knew nothing about him until this moment other than his image at KFC restaurants.

It’s an open weights model - you can run your own. If you’re lucky enough to have a GPU or two laying around … then it can be it’s a lot cheaper actually.
“starting?” I assumed everyone who wasn’t onboard left years ago.
At least Linkedin is full of “ex-Palantir” people, but tbh Linkedin job descriptions are not know for their truthfulness.
Firing 30,000 of them. You can’t fire people if you don’t hire them in the first place. And as you all know stock price jumps after big layoffs.
I think it’s about video generation. They shut down Sora because it was burning too much money. Imagine how much a massive amount of porn videos would cost.
The biggest surprise in the article is that Atlassian is not profitable. How? They pretty much have a monopoly in the Jira-like space (look , I can’t even think of a generic name) and they charge a hefty sum for their products. How tf do they lose money?
I’m not sure he actually fleeced the big buyers. One of the main “problems” in paying a bribe is how to present the payment as something legitimate.
If you can maybe just innocently “invest” in some crypto scheme. Totally legitimate investment, just so happened it failed, oh well.
