Hormuz might not matter that much in the future since Saudi and the other countries will build even more pipelines and ports which are on the other side. Short-term is dire though.

Wait but the commission is assembled by the PMs / presidents… so it’s elected by people who were elected by people who elect.

Fair point. It seems to be a weird mix of people who optimize for afterlife and a mafia that lives their best life now.

While this is true it's also impossible to avoid. So you could also argue that this war will help the US to gain experience it didn't have before which might be favorable in future conflicts with parties that didn't have this

People underestimate UX and accessibility. The iPhone was nothing new.

Yes, true for existing companies. On the other hand we still don’t know which new companies will be created that couldn’t be be created before due to unfavorable economics.

Monopolies stay stable only with a sustainable competitive advantage, eg through network effects or patents. With no barriers, margins get squeezed out rapidly.

I find that this argument is used too often to refrain from using your own product. Yes you're right not anyone can be a domain expert. But anyone in the company needs to at least try to use the product as much as possible. I worked in

I wouldn’t say it’s impossible but I’d argue from all we know now highly unlikely. Why? Assume a company has a high margin because they used AI and reduced their workforce by 10x. What usually happens is that a new competitor comes in and o

Thank you. That was the comment I came looking for.

But maybe you shouldn’t raise so much money and make a big fuss about it when all you’re selling is a template?

I politely disagree. I think you’re conflating software and product. A product can be a recombination of standard software components and yet be something completely new.

The issue is priorities. If you have long list of todos for a restaurant, why put building a website in the top 10?

Actually I would say it should be a cooking machine like. I am not too familiar with these machines however.

I thought I try to debunk your argument with a food example. I am not sure I succeeded though. Judge for yourself: It's always easier to blame the ingredients and convince yourself that you have some sort of talent in how you cook tha

Isn’t that the reason why people advocate for spec-driven development instead of vibe coding?

One major contributing factor, in my opinion, is that almost no one in the community was taught the scientific method / epistemology itself. The simple fact that theories should be falsified and not verified is something that most scie

Yes, it’s the "sum" of which you extract an average.

@dang: these are amazing! Real useful gems... I think they are different than the highlight ones, seems like people favorite them because of their utility mostly. Would love to see it as /favorites in the lists page!

@dang, how do you curate these? Manually? Have you thought about sourcing these by looking at the most favorited comments per week?
