Why exactly? Because all the people who really care about good software will switch over? All 1% of the market? Most people don't care about most things. I don't think much about the vast majority of products I use, because there&

There's a bunch of other requirements you need to meet and no one cares about RAM consumption. So you do it the most time efficient way, not the most memory efficient. Before you scorn, doing it the opposite way, taking more to use les

The problem with that is the squatters would just turn it into a low quality blog or something along those lines.

They need Georgism for DNS names. You set your own price for your domain. But you have to pay 2-5% of that price annually to keep it. That way, squatters are incentived to sell it to someone who's going to use it.

I think it's more a matter of "taking power tools away from toddlers." If you know how to work with it it's great, but if you use it indiscriminately it does more harm than good.

You can get your coworkers to stop sending you slop (I've done it already on my team) but it's probably much harder to stop an onslaught of open source contributors.

I understand the intent of it. It's really annoying/rude when someone gives you a pile of AI generated crap and says "here, you figure it out." Anyone can type these prompts now, the hard part is figuring out if the outp

The issue is that in most cities, most people are involved in the major industry or know people who are. Casino dealers, farm workers, etc. But there aren't very many blue collar tech jobs beyond security and the cafeterias. It undoubt

Right, we could put ads there too. Who's working on this?

I think it's related to the K shaped economy. The country is no longer being built for the middle class, which is concerning.

In the SF tech scene they talk about this -- startups say they will put up a billboard for one CTO. I don't even think that's an exaggeration. I watched a YouTube video about a startup that wanted to land a major client, figure

Right now we're all training AI models on our taste. All of our chat logs are being uploaded, and the AI companies are training the models on them to get them right the first time. It will soon no longer require taste. Or at the very l

Of all the things you could criticize as backwards in 18th century biology, the choice of using Latin is probably the silliest. It was the language of learning. It's a practical choice that you and I would make if we were transported t

I think ~$200B is just for AI infrastructure capex. Fun fact: that's nearly what the 3rd largest military in the world (Russia) is spending on a land war in Europe.

And Gemini seems about as good as a search engine as any of the other LLMs, if you use them casually. And Google has the brand-name recognition. Right now AI companies are competing to make LLMs better at graduate-school level tasks. They a
