A similar theme to Adrian Tchaikocsky's most recent standalone work "Alien Clay". I saw on a podcast that he said that in Alien Clay, he started from the reasoning 'What if life developed not with competitive natural sel

These tools (e.g. Chatgpt pro) lose money at $200/month So expect, maybe, $1000 a month? Until your business is dependant on these LLMs. Then they can extract basically all your margin lol

It's pretty clear what regulation should exist for 3rd party markets of licensed digital content: none. If you choose to blow your finances on digital skins, or make it your trade and primary job, and you lose everything, then I have o

This (particular) take home assignment looks absolutely fine to me. If you can't do it under 2 hours (maybe I couldn't? I've never used Unity) then you shouldn't _want_ to work there.

I'm not going to pay you to slightly rip off my own ideas. Who is going to pay you for this, and what are they doing with it?

The kind of person who wants to build a website copier is exactly who I had in mind for the target of vibecoding. Bad idea, bad execution, I like it when a plan comes together.

That's actually my point: if you take (e.g.) 65% of median income, in a world with a Gini coefficient of 1 - perfect inequality - the rate of poverty is 0%.

Usually they choose a deliberately stupid measurement such as "household income below a percentage of the median wage". This is stupid for many reasons, including (but not limited to): non-monetary, in-kind benefits being excluded

No as you and I both know - I can't. Because it's a qualitative view, and not a quantitative one. I would need to know _when_, quite precisely, I will turn out to be right. And I don't know, because I have about 60 minutes a
