1992-me hates the author. Coming from 68k assembly, x86 was a nightmare. And together with the ridiculous number of registers, segments made up a huge chunk of that horrible experience.

A Tesla without Musk isn't worth much. It's not that profitable. Tesla's P/E ratio is 350 or so - absolutely crazy. Ford's and Toyota's are about 10. The largest Chinese electric car maker's (BYD) PE/

"Elon is currently sitting on 817,000 lifetimes worth of money." I think that's a wrong perception, especially in this case. Elon Musk does not have nearly a trillion dollar in cash. He holds shares in companies that have a m

I think it is too early to answer that question. If I really wanted to, I could 'vibe code' Photoshop. But my estimate is that it would take me 2 years, as a solo dev. And by 'vibe code' I mean not write a single line by

APIs - MCP is the obvious better alternative, but as you said, most software and most online services don't provide a full API. Most none at all.

I watched it last week, and I loved every moment of it. It's really the Muppet Show, not one of those boring remakes and spin-offs that never worked. Even my 9 year old daughter who would usually roll her eyes when I would even sugges

I can understand why you want an AI to use a desktop. But it's still absurd to use the least efficient interface possible for interactions with the outer world. Having said that, fun project, good luck :) I am sure quite a few people w

As much as I like the Claude models, they are expensive. I wouldn't use them to process large volumes of data. Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is $0.10 per million tokens. Grok 4.1 Fast is really good and only $0.20. They will work just as well

I understand your argument. But I have worked at two companies that worked pretty much like you described. They call it 'project-oriented'. They threw lots of engineers at projects, hired freelancers, and got it working as fast as

Great idea. Whether brainstorm mode is actually useful is hard to say without trying it out, but it sounds like an interesting approach. Maybe it would be a good idea to try running a SWE benchmark with it. Personally, I wouldn't use t

I understand it. For example, with AI you don't need to remember stuff. Like there is a command in MacOS (two actually) to flush the DNS cache. I used to memorize it because I needed it like twice a week. These days, I can't remem

I recently had the same realization and moved all my functions to a simple stand-alone server. Besides the normal AWS costs, what scares me most about AWS is the possibility that someone could try to DOS me, leaving me with a huge AWS bill,

Let me ask you a related question: if there was a study that handwriting is better for your brain than typing, should secretaries have quitted when typewriters and computers were introduced? The thing is, there is no going back. There will

It can certainly also be used the other way round by people who defend Trump no matter what. But I have seen enough people who clearly weren't even able to discuss Trump's policy because the thought that Trump could be right about

As Scott Adams would tell you, it doesn't matter whether he made it up. If you believe him, that's your reality. If you don't believe him, your reality is that he's faking it. You can chose your reality and that act upon

I think "number of questions asked" is the wrong metric. Because it feels like all the questions have already been asked. Whenever I need to know something, I can google it and find answers on Stack Overflow. I can't remember

I think a couple of years ago there was a real window of opportunity for crypto. People could have invented crypto versions of real-life things like insurances and mortgages. But that never really happened, because everybody was busy gettin

An AI that's breaking copyright laws shouldn't be legal. So yes, it's kind of like putting it in jail.

by deepsummer 2y ago
I think an AI should be treated like a human. A human can consume copyright material (possibly after paying for it), but not reproduce it. I don't see any reason why the same can't be true for an AI.

Some work will be replaced with AI. If you regulate the AI, the work will also be relocated.

Maybe they host it on Gaia-X, the failed attempt to compete with AWS and other US cloud providers. Money burns quickly when you give it to EU megacorps that are experienced getting EU subsidies. In the end, even if there is some moderate su

Your utility company subsidizes you. In the usual contract, you pay an price of 40 cent per kWh, no matter when you use it. But that price is based on a year-round average. Actually, sometimes electricity is super cheap for the utility comp
