You’re right, but on the other hand once you have a basic understanding security, architecture, etc you can prompt around these issues. You need a couple of years of experience but that’s far less then the 10-15 years of experience you need

My wife is a doctor and there is a general trend at the moment of everyone thinking their intelligence in one area (say programming) carries over into other areas such as medicine, particularly with new tools such as ChatGPT. Imagine if as

You don't live in North Korea, not even anywhere close. If you don't want to live in a state like North Korea, you need to use the democratic means you still have to make your voice heard. I am tired of this lazy defeatism

Agree, except I disagree that there is not much you can do. You write "there is not much we can do in a police state against our current circumstances" and then you state "Our elected leaders on the opposition side are weak a

What a waste of resources to have to defend against one of your closest allies. This is a country that went to war on behalf of the US in Afghanistan (and lost 44 souls doing so). Disrespectful and shameful.

And we represent 0.1% of the population at best. Not really sustainable. We are destroying the planet and we will come to regret this on our death beds. If anyone doubts that, go for a walk in nature and appreciate how incredible our ecosys

Maybe that's their plan. They launched the NVIDIA GeForce now cloud on-demand service, after all.

Yeah, reviews are useless in Germany as a result. If anyone from Google is reading this, PLEASE add a tag to establishments that remove reviews by legal means!

Sometimes I believe they aren't monetizing me. With Kagi I feel quite confident, for example. It depends how prominently they put 'no monetization/ads' as part of their marketing. Uber doesn't do that, to be fair, a

The unit economic impact of customer care is just brutal. It's simply unaffordable for many low-frequency, low-value businesses. Particularly when 70-80% of requests are simple questions or things that can be done already in their prof

At least the Chinese models are open source, so you don't need to send money to the Chinese government to use them (unlike Grok 4, where you need to send money to Elon Musk)

There is just a shocking lack of empathy in the world today. Selfishness is off the scale. I personally blame social media and the financialization of everything for this. A person's entire self-worth can be reduced to the size of thei

This is what you get when YC is full of 22-year olds founding companies. Great ideas and fast execution but absolutely no clue when it comes to running a company. Twitter VCs won't repent, once again.
