Except that your reports is held accountable for the specific portions assigned to them. When I delegate to the AI there’s no pressure to deliver good work. There’s no performance review, threat of firing, or performance bonuses. All the re

How much does that come out to per user or per request? And how does that compare to anything else those people do? Like drive 10 minutes. Or eat a burger. These numbers keep being put up as large in absolute terms but that’s deceiving for

The distinction here that keep getting glossed over in such comparisons is accountability . If the engineering team fucks up somehow they can be kept accountable. An AI cannot be held accountable.

Do you care about the water use from almonds or is it just a shallow hatch point to not have to talk about the damages from raising animals for food? Is the water use from almonds a problem or is it fine and any changes would be “fucking th

Ask yourself why they are growing almonds there if it’s such a problem? Because those almond growers have water right contracts that are absurdly cheap and are use it or lose it. Fine by me though, add in the environmental costs for almonds

It’s hard for the market to decide on its own when the environmental damage of meat production is left as an unpriced externality and when government subsidies are handed out like candy.

Red team has to be lucky once, blue team has to be perfect. How many places take red teaming seriously now? Compare how fast real attackers could iterate vs the defenders.

I understand why people are downvoting you, but we still have a bit to go before renewables make up 50% of yearly electricity generation. Not as far as you’d think though. According to [0] in 2024 it was 6.9% solar, 8.1% wind, and 14.3% hyd

This get brought up often, and it’s such a lazy example. Apple forces you to give them their cut (you have to pay for developer license even just to keep your own personal apps on your phone). Valve isn’t forcing you to use Steam.

You did the Python right but the analysis wrong. Looking at it on a graph you can see that interpreting a single growth rate for the entire period (even if you stop pre-covid) doesn’t make sense. You can see linear growth from 2010-2017. Th
