Why does Microsoft always create so many ugly, confusing, and ridiculous product names? The worst of them all is ".Net" (which is really confusing).

Why does Microsoft always create so many ugly, confusing, and ridiculous product names? The worst of them all is ".Net" (which is really confusing).

And when Anthropic released the successor to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, they called it…

But I mean, Microsoft was a pioneer in this field and is still the undisputed king of bad naming.

*drumroll*

Why does Hollywood (except Atilla and Agora) ignore the Late Roman Empire in favour of the early one?

Keep in mind, though, there are only two hard problems in software: Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

When OpenAI released their successor to GPT-4, they called it GPT-4o. Their next model after that was called o1.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

When do you feel most peaceful ever?

It’s not just Microsoft. Look at the way top AI companies these days name their foundation models.

When Google released the next version of Gemini 1.5 Pro, they called it Gemini 1.5 Pro-002 (I wish I was joking, but I’m not).

They didn’t even bother to change the name. What the fuck, guys.

How do I promote my book to get it reviewed and grow an audience if I already published it?
