Japanese and American companies have different purposes. In Japan the corporation primarily provides stable income and employment for society, and secondarily returns on capital invested. In America, corporations primarily provide returns

Apple has absolutely been dragging its feet on RCS. The DoJ explicitly accused them of degrading cross-platform messaging to protect their smartphone dominance. Internal Apple communications revealed that executives were worried that brin

Hacker news holds Apple and Google to different standards, so I doubt this post will get much traction. (I'm still angry about how I must use an iPhone if I want to be able to text high quality video to people I don't know very w

The story is only trending because it’s an AI model and the internet is anti-ai right now. It’s a double standard. It’s like how people are outraged that electricity is being used in data centers to power AI models. When you do the math,

I switched to the Kobo ecosystem about a year and a half ago and have been pretty happy. While the book availability and store aren't at complete parity, I've only had one situation where I couldnt get the book I wanted and it wa

Modern discourse happens on social media where fear and outrage drive engagement, which drives virality. We have become convinced in a short amount of time that AI is going to take all the jobs and eventually kill us all because that'

You say that, but I've created plenty of production bugs because two different implementations diverge. Easier to avoid such bugs if we just share the implementation.

If you own a painting company with three employees you are a CEO and fall in the top executives category. You may or may not make 100k a year.

Yes exactly. RCS exists but unless an iPhone user goes and turns it on it won't work. Which means no one has it turned on.

Completely agree. And to make matters worse, I can't even switch to android without losing the ability to reliably send quality video to iPhone users. Apple suffered for decades from Microsoft's anticompetitive OS monopoly, and t

Is it okay for human managers to make sure the employees are being polite? But not AI? Why?

Netscape had a 90% market share in 1995. If OpenAI is metaphorically netscape, what prevents its competitors from prying away customers every day? What prevents google/facebook/microsoft from using their position to bundle chat

I agree completely. I don't know how anyone can be building on these models when all of them are either deprecated or not actually released yet. As someone who has production systems running on the deprecated models, this situation r

This doesn’t make sense to me. Of all the things I will delegate to Claude Code, vendor selection would be one of the last.

There are techniques to mitigate this. You can reuse containers instead of creating a new one each time. You can mount in directories (like ~/.claude) from your local machine so you dont have to set claude up each time.

Completely agree. If you're motivated enough about a topic to post about it online, you're probably emotional about it and unable to see it in a clear-headed manner. The people I know who have the most reasonable political opinio

Left-populists and right-populists like to frame issues as being a conflict between the elites and the common man. Banning big banks from owning homes is a perfect example of this. It's fine to ban big banks from buying homes and wont

That sounds right in theory, but in practice my code is far, far higher quality when I do TDD than when I don't. This applies whether or not I'm using an Ai coding assistant

I agree completely with the author that AI assisted coding pushes the bottleneck to verification of the code. But you don't really need complete formal verification to get these benefits. TDD gets you a lot of them as well. Perhaps y

The issues raised in this article are why I think highly-opinionated frameworks will lead to higher developer productivity when using AI assisted coding You may not like all the opinions of the framework, but the LLM knows them and you don’

Completely agree with this. I got to work closely with an IBM fellow one summer and I was impressed by his willingness to ask "dumb questions" in meetings. Sometimes he was just out of the loop but more often he was just questio

I agree completely. I think the main difference is that it's important for your average people to become educated on topics by experts. Thats the part that is missing today.

Experts post on social media all the time, but their voices are not given any weight beyond that of people who aren't experts on the topic. RFK jr running HHS is the wave of the future. Unfortunately, we will continue to have non-expe

I agree with you that my words are unpopular. Populism is popular. Government and economics is complicated, so it's not that crazy to suggest that your average person doesn't understand it very well. The medical analog of econom
