Seems like my installation of Naver Whale is basically dying somehow. Just another Chromium-based browser that slowly keeps stabbing itself to death with 'updates', I guess. Abandoned Edge before for similar reasons. Browsers today really are the worst.

Oh swell, orange-level warning for smoke from wildfires has been announced. Last time I was dealing with that was on the US west coast, in probably Cupertino region. That yellow haze and stench everywhere. Not a big fan of wildfires.

If you ever want to see how consent gets manufactured this is how it happens. Journalism should not be printing things that operate as marketing. This only serves to inflate the bubble and con retail investors. Shameful.

Also: this feels very much like an attempt to soften the blow on what might some really bad numbers. What is it that “Current EBITDA” doesn’t capture, exactly? Or is it more a problem of exactly what it captures - an unprofitable, unsustainable business that burns tend of billions of dollars?

LOOKING PAST CURRENT EARNINGS Established companies are typically valued more heavily on earnings, or EBITDA, which gives investors a sense of the economics of the business. For Anthropic, however, current EBITDA does not fully capture the economics investors expect the company to achieve at scale. Anthropic is spending enormous amounts on GPUs and other computing capacity, model training, inference and hiring. Those expenses are necessary to support its rapid expansion but could become a smaller percentage of revenue as the business grows.

Absolutely astonishing story from Reuters, saying that Anthropic’s valuation is based on theoretical revenues of $180-200bn in 2028, and that its “current EBITDA does not fully capture the economics investors expect the company to achieve at scale.” Misleading! www.reuters.com/business/ant...

Summary Companies • Anthropic projects roughly $190 billion to $200 billion 2028 revenue, sources say • Bankers and investors use enterprise value-to-revenue multiples based on forecasts, sources say • Cloudlare, Palantir and SpaceX are reference points ahead of Anthropic analyst day, sources say Aug 14 (Reuters) - As Anthropic prepares for what could be one of the biggest IPOs on record, Wall Street is looking further into the future than it commonly does to put a price on the Al company, valuing it based on how much revenue it could generate two years from now. Anthropic is projecting 2028 revenue of roughly $190 billion to $200 billion, according to two people familiar with the company's financials, a figure that has not previously been reported. The projection dwarfs the $47 billion revenue "run rate," reflecting the firm's current pace of business, that the company publicized as recently as May, and shows the scale of growth investors are being asked to underwrite.

Not just mind-numbing stupidity, but also only possible in the loosest sense of the word. One advantage of EMALS is that you do not have to run massive high-pressure steam pipes to the deck catapults, just thick bundles of wiring. Retrofitting said steam catapults would mean rebuilding the carrier.

The stupidity continues….. Trump Orders Navy to Restore Old Technology in Aircraft Carriers, Costing Billions The Navy spent years fighting the president’s push to go back to steam catapults www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...
