This is quite the paradigm shift. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

No one should have nuclear weapons except for me. Oh you already have them too? OK, just us then.

One sequence here could be the Board fired him (as CEO), then he removed/replaced the Board (as main preferred shareholder). Either that or he somehow has control over IT and is just shit posting and controlling Slack.

In systems thinking, this would be called "intrinsic responsibility" (or lack thereof). > Intrinsic responsibility” means that the system is designed to send feedback about the consequences of decision making directly and q

I love postgres and use it heavily, but I still don't fully understand how it overlook MySQL. Maybe because of Heroku adopting it. MySQL was generally faster, and while MyISAM was a bit limited Innodb was pretty powerful, and you had t

> While undoubtedly tragic, most displaced people at some point move on with their lives, and stop terrorising their neighbours and the world. The irony is that this statement (which I disagree with) could be applied equally well to both

Yes, but statistically Israel (IDF + settlers) commits crimes like that on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis.

I loved this. Unfortunately, I don't know how realistic it is at this point. The entire modern Western system is built on incentives, and it would require dramatically changing the social order and economic system.

Yes, writing code that (appears to) work was not the hard part. Even before LLMs you could find very cheap contractors on Upwork or through offshoring companies to write "code". Well-engineered code is hard. It still is. Code that

There are people rich enough to do that in our current world. They don't because either they have a moral compass or because they fear the law.

This looks awesome. I'm very excited about how learning will evolve harnessing AI. I'm also a huge fan of Andrew Ng. I wish they hadn't raised so much money. I'm not sure "large funding round" sets up the right

This is how it has always been throughout history (and still is in most parts of the world). Individual is part of nuclear family, nuclear family is part of extended family, extended family is part of tribe, etc. When one part is in need, t

I wonder whether this applies more to coding agents, or whether it'll apply as well to other types of agents. It feels like coding agents get better at a faster rate and are easier to train.

I would personally love to see an end to the universally existing bait-and-switch of brokers listing unavailable units just to get you on the phone, then when you contact them, saying "Oh sorry that unit just got rented (or sold), but,

AI can make individuals 2x or 5x or 10x (?) faster. Lack of trust, alignment, and ownership can make _teams_ 2x or 5x or 10x slower.

Decisions are special things. One of the golden rules of life is that a person (or entity) making decisions is somehow impacted or otherwise getting feedback on the repercussions of those decisions. When you cognitively surrender to AI, or

One thing that changed reading for me was Readwise. One of my favorite products. Super simple concept, I just highlight quotes I like, then I get a daily email of random things I've highlighted. Great way to retain info from non-fictio

This is really cool. Can it play nice with gdrive or Dropbox? For better or worse, that's just where my data lives now but I'd love this layer.

Anecdotal and more for unskilled than skilled workers, but having traveled to Germany a bunch, I found that taxi drivers and delivery drivers seem pretty unhappy there. They mention not feeling accepted, feeling constantly looked down upon,

"writers who wrote the most in history" Proceeds to ignore Eastern writers (Arab, Chinese, Persian) who wrote just as much or more.

An org that big doesn't "see". A triager with very little context and authority is probably the one making this call and my guess is the process is failing to direct or escalate it to the right person.

AI has caused a lot of leaders to overreact. Great leaders find a balance between overreacting and waffling. It's often wise to dampen your response a little bit, without dragging your feet.

100% this. This is why it's so hard to trust AI on code reviews, at least for now.

The main thing is the old forums were sorted by recency (how new a post was or how recently it was replied to) rather than some AI-driven engagement mechanism. They were structured (you'd have several rooms for different topics on the

Notable is that this in Fureidis, which while in modern Israel now, was part of British Mandate Palestine, and was one of the only Arab towns left in tact (and is still primarily Arab and Muslim). It accepted a lot of refugees from neighbor

There's a quote from an old Mos Def song that does it for me: "More, and more, and more, and more, More of less than ever before, Just too much more for your mind to absorb."

I mean yes, for a single DB it's large, but if you're thinking about sharding you're probably in the tens of TBs, and if you're a company offering sharding you've prob sharded larger workloads.

I like the mix of management/leadership/structure. I do think leadership is an important aspect, and leaders who are uncompromising can have a big impact. It's funny we both land on Google as a main example. I had this quote
