I run a small game studio. I use Cursor to write features that I don’t want to hand code, but wouldn’t ask a teammate to do. Usually that is because describing the idea to a person would take about as much effort and the result would take l

I love this. At a glance, here are some dynamics this reveals: 1. You can share a channel with a friend and know that they see the same thing as you. What's on at 5:03pm on channel 4 is the same for everyone. 2. The decision of what to

If they ever do anything again it will be a miracle. Meta is where smart people go to trade in their ambition and morals for stock grants and golden handcuffs.

In this scenario, Google is the incumbent. Microsoft is like… IBM circa 1996.

Gemini is a pretty spot on comparison. Google is putting in front of users at every opportunity. And Gemini is a way better product than IE ever was.

Yep, I moved my day to day chat to Gemini and my code stuff to Cursor.

Someone please explain how OpenAI is not Netscape 2026. They had first mover advantage but no network effect, no moat, and are racing to stay ahead of infinitely resourced incumbents.

OpenAI is going to have to leapfrog everyone else with some kind of alien tech to remain viable. Nvidia is probably just saving face here and possibly hedging.

Leave it to Zuck to not only pursue this morbid idea, but to add a dollop of poo on top with a patent. Bravo!

I’d guess they want to outlast OpenAI and then get bought by Apple or Amazon.

Didn’t that already happen in software? Seems like network effects got ahead of this.

Some farmers probably lamented the rise of machines because they feared their strength would no longer be needed in the fields. These farmers were no doubt more concerned with their own usefulness as laborers than in the goals of the farm:

This argument that “convenience makes you weak” can be taken all the way to “real programmers write assembly” or “binary is the one true path”. On the other end it’s also “I’ll vibe code it bruh”. So we land at the eternally wise YMMV.

You’re in a tough spot. Loneliness can make people act in ways that others are put off by. You can end up trying to pull people in to help salve the pain you feel. It can perpetuate itself despite your effort. I heard a saying once that is

The book “Do Fathers Matter?” by Paul Raeburn talks about this and is a good read, especially if you are a new dad and question your significance.

HN should relate to metal because it’s just nerds who have taken a different path. You could say computer nerds are intellectual nerds, and metalheads are emotional nerds who love the music made by music nerds. the cool people are elsewhere

This is just another example of getting the actual problem wrong. When he says "billionaires making more billions" it's really off the mark. These people are not forcing AI down our throats to make billions. They are doing it

My bet is that the content schedule and need to fill the pipeline is so much faster that decisions get made hastily in service of metrics. You can call it Lord of the Rings, but that doesn’t make it so.

There is only so much top talent to go around. We cannot have infinite new content at the same quality as the best Hollywood could do in the 90s.
