Ah, right. Yeah, I've been reading about their incredible decrease in pollution overall, and not on just their C02 emissions. Didn't know these had still been rising over the years, and it's really only in the two years have

Good point. But one factor is China is also greatly reducing their emissions. For instance, their pollution levels have plummeted after enacting strict controls: https://epic.uchicago.edu/insights/china-has-quickly-and-

agreed. Also, data security, data compliance, legal, customer support, operations... Yeah, SaaS is not going anywhere soon.

Hmm, but AI isn't just a really-good tool, it's also doing creative work too. As an aspiring composer, music generators are in my opinion really quite good, and often matches what composers and song writers can do. So if you ask m

haha, not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing:)

Haha! And have really big, oversized buttons and fonts, and containing only a title and 3 input boxes.

Agreed, good way to put it:)

Agreed, that dark tron world is visually super interesting.

As someone in music, yeah, that was one of the best movie soundtrack’s of all time (not much like it in movies beforehand). But kind of disagree about the film, think it was under appreciated. It isn’t a masterpiece, but the acting, the ove

Hmm, tend to disagree, but this is just an educated guess of mine. Seems like business have more specific needs that individuals, and would guess that Dropbox has many small features targeted for just companies (richer api's, more stab

Ah, makes sense, good for her:) And just a side question, it's incredible that her advisor would not use their computer (especially since they were in an analytical field, would think computers were essential for statisticians). What w

Referring to DeepMind in the UK? Ah yes, that’s definitely through acquisition. But even though their AI models aren’t the absolute leaders in every field, all their models are near the top, across the board. Yeah, their recognition of this

Don’t let them out of their cages, otherwise they’ll stop typing!

This is a very confusing but enlightened response. Will have to ponder on its true wisdom:)

Think for a large tech company, they did a really good job with success in software. For exammple, they were probably the first large tech company to realize AI was actually working, and made it their focus: https://www.businessi

haha, that's a great way to put it! And I get the overall gist of it, but why monkeys? :)

Try my best to do the same:)

Was going to say this. Am in the US, and have Indian friends, and they are much more brand conscious than the average American.

Agree in that this person seems to trying to shift blame, but still think he's right in that Cursor and Railway also have glaring weaknesses. Yeah, it's was somewhat of a perfect storm of mistakes with blame to go all around.

I don’t know, software systems complicated, it’s pretty much impossible for one person to know every line of code and every system (especially the CEO or CTO). Yeah, it was probably one or two employees set this all up realizing the possibi

That is a good one, iterative development is in general superior to overly deliberate and overly careful development. And what a great and very subtle example with the fighter jet control sticks. This reminds of a build time issue I onc

Ah, think there is overlap, but still not the same in my opinion. Having read this just now, the second system effect seems to be more about not getting overly ambitious in the redesign. What the guideline I mentioned is saying is "don

Don't see a really important one in my opinion: Refactor legacy code, don't rewrite it. All that cruft you see are bug fixes. Because rewriting old complex code is way more time consuming that you think it'll be. You have t

This is one of my biggest principles too, "think before you do."

Thanks, much appreciated:) ... ... and not just giving you lip service, but I do find the far left to have gone too far themselves (am a moderate independent myself). They're assuredness that everything they believe is the only correct
