Even 100/mo is a lot when you can get unlimited Sonnet for 20/mo.

I think beginner programmers like the fact that they can just open one app and the AI chat box is right next to their editor window. Other than that, I agree that it's pretty silly to maintain a whole IDE just to attach an AI chat box

I certainly don't envy young people entering the job market rn. But China's youth unemployment rate is far higher than America's. To come away from this thinking American capitalism is bad and "communism" (which doe

I think you have this backward. Someone who never reads might forget how to write. Someone who never writes, but reads all the time, will not forget how to read.

It has long been understood that programming is more about reading code than writing code. I don't see any issue with having LLMs write code. The real issue arises when you stop bothering to read all the code that the LLM writes.

They call it laundering because it takes "dirty" money and makes it "clean". That's not what happened here. The money was perfectly clean to begin with. Which law do you think was being broken? I think the person is

Zuck has unilateral majority voting power. This was probably a good thing during the financial crisis, but appears to be more of a liability these days.

Throwing out random numbers is not a convincing argument about how things would actually work in reality. Consider the fact that median real income tends to move up [1]. This is the metric that matters. It's the 50th percentile person,

by bloppe 10mo ago
The 20th percentile probably wouldn't go into finance. But there's a "average" cutoff somewhere. Maybe 50th percentile. Maybe 80th. It doesn't matter. That cutoff will move if demand shifts.

Sure, there are plenty of ways that the government can interfere in an otherwise fair market. That's not the point. Absent some sort of market interference, Baumol is empirically good at predicting price movements.

IQ is not "mostly random". It's highly correlated with the quality of your education. Kind of like how height is highly correlated with childhood nutrition, and sporting ability is highly correlated with practicing sports. Th

How is this related to Baumol? Baumol does not describe general inflation. It specifically describes when prices go up in some sectors because of an increase in productivity in another sector . Baumol is also rooted in the concept of price

The main metrics are mean and median real income (i.e. inflation-adjusted). Baumol's only occurs if mean real income rises. Unless inequality rises simultaneously, then median real income (the metric most people care about) will rise a

That's great for you. But some people need to pick a specific country. People in different countries often get different prices for things like airline tickets or online subscriptions. Maybe you need to appear from a particular country

I (American) regularly use litotes both for ironic emphasis (like saying "not bad" at an amazing restaurant) and when I genuinely mean "it's not great but it's not terrible". Honestly not sure which is more com

I agree with you when I believe a choice can be freely made. But peer pressure as a child is extremely intense, and if you're the one weirdo you know whose parents don't allow them on Snapchat, it can cause lots of strife and prob

A bankrupt company will try to sell the rights to the software. If nobody buys it, and it's completely written off the balance sheet, then most likely they will just flip to an open source license ahead of schedule. And if they don&#x2

I agree with you the "source available" is overstretched. It's hard to come up with a good new label for the first group. Maybe "Open Use" or "Fair Source".

If a project switches from an open-source to a closed-source license, then from the outside, it just looks like the project was abandoned. The final commit that was published under the open-source license will always be open source. It&#x27
