The business model is broken, and, arguably, so too is the business environment--there's many angles from which it appears capitalism is no longer serving the public good. If we replaced it with another -ism, what might it be, and how

100% true. If you work your tail off at a bigco, your upside is golden handcuffs, not actual freedom. You'll perpetually have a net worth on paper that drops precipitously if you leave your job and let your options, RSUs, or whatever e

Generally speaking, whenever there's been an innovation that allows for efficiency gains since and including the industrial revolution, the US has opted to work as much (or more) and get cheaper goods, and the Euro zone has leaned more

This tracks. Vance is probably a potential supporter of strong crypto insofar as it’s demanded of him by the VC class.

This intrinsically feels like the opposite of a good use case for an LLM for code gen. This isn’t boilerplate code by any means, nor would established common patterns be helpful. A lot of what ffmpeg devs are doing at the assembly level is

While I generally agree with this framing, “whatever you call what’s currently holding the reins of power” vs. “not that” still feels useful currently; the empowered party and its ideology are pretty extreme.

When we “overshot left” it was by electing a centrist cishet man who identified as Christian and had different colored skin from the prior presidents. Overshooting right has us building concentration camps.

Sure, but how to satisfy the need? LLMs are getting slotted in for this use not because they’re better, but because they’re accessible where professionals aren’t. (I don’t think using an LLM as a therapist is a good idea.)

This rhymes with the discussion we had when higher level languages became popularized. And many of us did forget how to write assembly! What might the world have looked like otherwise?

Hah, I feel that! Been building on the side while recovering from burnout for a month or so now--at some point it'll be time to find a good fit, and I'm less than enthusiastic for the search.

Working on RSOLV.ai - automated security vulnerability remediation. Currently a one-man shop. The insight: Most security scanners find problems but don't fix them. Industry average time to fix critical vulnerabilities is 65+ days. We g

Author here. While building automated security remediation, we discovered AI models hallucinating package names at a 19.6% rate (USENIX 2025). Attackers are already exploiting this - "huggingface-cli" got 30,000 downloads despite

Perhaps the most consistent common thread of despotic and tyrannical types is a complete absence of a sense of humor.

I don't think the powers that be care if those numbers are accurate, so long as they can use them for control and intimidation.

Not to worry, we'll fix this on our end by ensuring that we no longer keep accurate track of anything science or health-adjacent. A few years out comparisons like this will be impossible and meaningless.

If we keep blowing up the economy this way they’ll only be able to afford to rent the libs.

That’d actually be a neat balance to figure out. Would the increased short-term liver toxicity be better over the long run than having bloodborne microplastics persist?

In the name of efficiency, we should just ignite the vinyl chloride in the freight trains before they even leave the station.

Of course it’s for more than that. It’s a fabulously oppressive tool that’ll get used for whatever the hell power-hungry folks want. That’s not to say it won’t be used for your proposed purpose! Just gotta think bigger.

Duh. It was never meant to actually be good for the climate. We USians just wanted to point more subsidy money domestically (particular at farmers, the target for virtually every non-kinetic subsidy for decades) instead of using MBTE, which

English is pretty fluid. Like yourself I don’t love the buzzword-y feel of business slang (oh how we’ve destroyed the impact of “impact” with “impactful”; please slap me if I utter “ideating”), but without the flexibility to produce those h
