> Yes, OpenAI is burning $8-12B in 2025
OpenAI actually burnt $12B in just one quarter (not for the entire year as he claims)

c++ 03 was a lot easier.
For instance, if you want to avoid unnecessary copy operations when returning a string, just return it in variable that you pass by reference (eg. void doSomething(string& str);) likewise avoid the vector class making unnecessary copies, simply by creating the objects on the heap and use a vector of pointers instead of values. It's a bit more ugly, but it works, and you don't need to read a 24 page blog to understand all the corner cases where it can go wrong. modern c++ is all about syntactic suger.
Tanks don't really make any sense. MBTs are designed to fight other MBTs. Out of the thousands of tanks that have been taken out in Ukraine, 99.999% has been by drones, artillary or ATMs. You can count the tank versus tank battles on the fingers of your hand. Wouldn't make more sense to evenly distribute the weight of the armour, so the back and top are reasonably armoured, rather than have foot thick armour in the front to stop rounds from other MBTs - a scenario which literally never happens.
