I mean, I agree that a lot of money was spent training some of these models - and I personally wouldn’t invest in an ai based company. The economics dont make sense.

However, worst case, self hosted open source models have got pretty good, and I find it unlikely that progress will simply stop. Diminishing returns from scaling data yes, but there will still be optimizations all through the pipeline.

That is to say, LLMs will continue to have utility regardless if Open AI and Anthropic are around long term.

Some people are finding value in LLMs, that doesn’t mean LLMs are great at everything.

Some people have work to do, and this is a tool that helps them do their work.

The ‘cloud’ was a pretty big thing though… everyone used to self host, now only some self host.

AWS, GCP, Azure make a lot of money

Sure. Statscounter has a history of questionable data. They don’t have a representative sample of websites, and there are technical challenges.

Finland is a small population so would suffer from sample size issues.

What catalyst is there to drive an almost 4x market share growth? And the collapse of Mac?

Flip through a few countries, you can tell they are having issues with OS classification.

Yeah this is very likely bad data. This whole post should be deleted.

Yeah exactly!

Could this be attributed to the driver mix changing?

It’s quite possible tesla drivers are worse in 2025 than 2024

Medical sciences in general have terrible gender and racial biases. My basic understanding is that it has got better in the past 10 years or so, but past scientific literature is littered with inaccuracies that we are still going along with. I’m thinking drugs specifically, but I suspect it generalizes.

The library is appealing to me because:

Precedence: pre internet I could connect to the library over a landlines and access the library and community news.

Expertise: not necessarily deep tech expertise, but with information retrieval, curation, education.

Community access: libraries are a municipal service with brick and mortar locations, and are heavily involved with community/public engagement.

For clarity, on the fediverse instance aspect. I was thinking more read only, with users being more official organizations with a barrier of entry vs. The general public. I personally wouldn’t want libraries to be moderating public discourse - this should be arms reach. And wouldn’t want them worrying about liability.

Public information (like safety bulletins for example) shouldn’t exclusively be sitting on a for profit ad platform, it’s bizarre.

Libraries should evolve to play a larger role in the internet, theyve been trying to reinvent themselves and i think this best aligns with their spiritual purpose. Some ideas:

Caretakers of digital archives.

Caretakers of relevant open source projects.

Could I get a free domain with my library card?

Could I get free api access to mapping or other localized data?

Should libraries host local fediverse instances for civic users? (think police, firefighter alert, other community related feeds)
