I have always distrusted Waymo's and Tesla's claims of being safer. There are so many ways to fudge the numbers. 1. If the self-driving software chooses to disengage 60 seconds before it detects an anomaly and then crashes while t

Developer skill is obviously still essential — you can’t steer if you couldn’t drive. But what about developer energy? Before AI I could only code about 2 hours per day (actual time spent writing code) but with Claude Code I can easily code

Apple has been really slow and dumb with AI, but I believe they are still in the best position to make the best use of it. They have the best hardware, the best vertical integration, and the best ecosystem across Mac/iPhone/iPad&#

Locally synced databases seem to be a new trend. Another example is Turso, which works by maintaining a sort of SQLite-DB-per-tenant architecture. Couple that with WASM and we’ve basically come full circle back to old school desktop apps (a

How are you getting the bank feeds? Plaid? What if Plaid doesn't work with my bank, can I import CSVs manually? Also the front-end looks very polished, wondering what your tech stack looks like.

Proves my point. Both sides insult each other using pig symbols.

by _1tem 2y ago
This is the justification given in the Quran - pigs are called “filthy”. The pig remains a symbol of disgust even in cultures that consume it - see how Ukrainian memes portray Putin and Russian soldiers with pig caricatures.

I have a feeling that economies of scale have a point of diminishing returns. At what point does it become more costly and complicated to store your data on S3 versus just maintaining a server with RAID disks somewhere? S3 is an engineering

by _1tem 2y ago
If this is true, then how do "serverless" database providers like Neon advertise "low latency" access? They use object storage like S3, which I imagine is an order of magnitude worse than networked storage for latency. e

I’ve tested this before and Postgres is measurably faster over Unix socket than over local network.

by _1tem 2y ago
Postgres supports Unix sockets when running on the same machine. That’s what I use, for a significant latency improvement over the TCP stack even at 127.0.0.1.

I don't care about model lock-in as long it actually gets the job done. Claude Code is the only AI solution I've tried that can actually make deep, meaningful changes across frontend and backend on a mature enterprise codebase.

Try Claude Code. It figures out context by itself. I’m having a lot of success with it for a few days now, whereas I never caught on with Cursor due to the context problem.

No, I do not believe that Trump and Musk are doing a good job. I just compared them to Gorbachev. But to suggest they are Russia-controlled is batshit insane, it's like the people who say "the Jews control everything".

"good for Russia and disastrous for traditional allies" in your interpretation. In the interpretation of others, it is "good for America and better to be anti-globalist".

> Russia-controlled US This sentiment is ridiculous and needs to stop. Just because a person's anti-globalist policy choices happen to align with Russia doesn't mean that Russia controls that person.

Do you know what happens to your income tax when you pay it to the government? They destroy it (if it's cash), or simplify nullify electronic values. The government literally prints money, it doesn't need your taxes to "make&

Why should income from labor be taxed at all? Income taxes strike me as fundamentally wrong.

The line is the invention of actual, new, knowledge. LLMs have so far failed to do that. LLMs have not made any significant new discovery in any field. See Dwarkesh's Question: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrev

The difference here is we know the definition of sorting algorithms, but we don't have a working definition for "consciousness". The argument is, if we use materialist definitions, then lots of unexpected things fit the defin

Here's an interesting thought experiment. Take any definition of consciousness or intelligence that is not based on biological components. For example "reacts to stimuli, exhibits anger". You can apply that definition to othe
