I am at the center of this locally. We are seeing neighborhoods of houses be approved for 10 story housing buildings. In effect, we are glorifying building tenements when what we really need to do is change zoning laws to allow for smaller

"We" did. Microsoft didn't. Not unexpected.

I'll do you one better. You could contour the floor of the tunnel, texture the walls properly, and add some fans and create a quasi-hyperloop for cyclists.

Parallels to Twitter pre-Musk. Altman has been controversial since his days (literally) as Reddit CEO. Yishan had some thoughts on X about the shake up at OpenAI and how they relate to Sam (and Microsoft). The capital class prefers hungry y

This post was flagkilled. I'm not really sure why, I'd love an explanation from the flaggers. The world financial market, including bitcoin, has been interesting recently.

In political circles, "accelerationists" believe that the demise of the US is inevitable, and that the faster it happens the better the world will be. I see similar parallels to the tech sector. Is the death of SV inevitable? If s

The thing about AI is that software replaced people piecemeal. The report that took 1 person 2 weeks to generate now is a 20 minute batch job, but that report was run quarterly and was only 1 position. There is plenty more work to do. We&#x

This sentiment is trendy (and a bit edgy among people who still refuse to learn modern JavaScript), but it's missing the point. React is the first JavaScript platform that feels well engineered for the web. "React suffers churn&

You can't wind rope that hasn't been dried and ret and dried again. There's too much "other stuff" in the fibers, and any rope you make will be incredibly weak. Everything about this paragraph is confusing: "Th

If you already have an offer in hand, you shouldn't be negotiating through the recruiter. This is a hiring decision not buying a home. CC the recruiter, take their advice, but work with the hiring manager directly. One of the worst thi

It'd be interesting to see removed vs flagged, if you can scrape flag kills. The flagging system is a great utility, but certain things (e.g. anything pro-Musk) get mass flagged for emotional reasons.

Almost every month of 2023 jobs numbers were revised down after a few months. I expect this will be similar.

Truthfully, quiet quit, put more time into your project in Q1-Q2, and try to 10x your revenue.

OpenAI seems to be transitioning from an AI lab to an AI fearmongering regulatory mouthpiece. As someone who lived through the days when encryption technology was highly regulated, I am seeing parallels. The Open Source cows have left the P

In my experience, this was likely entirely driven by one person, my guess would be two levels above the author in the org chart. It's sometimes frighteningly easy to convince business leaders that the dev teams are wasting a ton of tim

Agreed. I'm in Figma weekly and I don't know if I've ever seen dev mode.

The role of the family doctor (in the US) has changed drastically in the last ~8 years. They are a heuristic wearing a lab coat doing mostly data entry. The healthcare industry (in the US) needs sweeping reform to embrace technological and

I am upper middle class. A friend of mine, who is wealthier than I, were talking about being able to afford groceries. Not organic groceries, not special local grass fed beef or anything silly like that. A family of four is paying about 1k

If it must be 3d, Unity is the right choice. Godot is great, but you will find less help on StackOverflow and YouTube compared to Unity. CodeMonkey has a fantastic library of videos that he keeps short, upbeat, and for non-programmers gener

The "the sky is falling" worldview is insidious and self-reinforcing. You can't convince a doomsayer that things might actually wind up okay. There are certainly challenges ahead. My grandchildren will live in a starker world

America can't afford to maintain cities and it can't afford to maintain the infrastructure required for suburbs. There is a serious breakdown in our ability to simply exist as municipalities. It's a complex issue and many peo

This feels like it belongs on /r/iamverysmart. Most people don't argue within moral frameworks. Most people don't live logic-based lives. Most people prefer happiness to correctness, peace to progress, and quietude to ju
