Because many people (including high profile CEOs and VCs) are social media and X addicts. They spend literally all waking hours interacting with it.

That has nothing to do with federation. A Gmail user can talk to an Outlook user. A Slack user cannot talk to a Teams user. Email is only federated because it was used before it was commercialized. If companies could monopolize email they w

Yes, doomerism is a symptom of severe doomscrolling addiction. All the people who talk like this spend all day on X. They sound like delusional drug addicts TBH.

You don’t spend all your time doomscrolling X? :) Glad to know there’s others out there.

They won't survive. AI-as-a-service for frontier models will be relegated to military and research – if that. We're already at diminishing returns on model improvements. Latest improvements are on surrounding architecture, harness

Help me understand… he makes a full time living getting people to pay him to paint murals of honeybears? What is he selling, exactly? His store is literally just the same image of a generic honeybear… is he selling $10k plus a month of that

I'd love something like that, with the added ability to basically split the margin bucket into multiple buckets (one for me, one for the wife). The main issue I've had with budgeting apps continues to be pulling in up-to-date tran

It's incredibly sad and depressing. We could be building green energy, parks, public transit, education, healthcare.

100% of the team (14 engineers) is using Claude Code for everything. Anecdotally it feels like velocity is 10%-20% faster. Objectively I have no idea if velocity is faster – because management is inept and does not actually track this. The

Having worked in enterprise B2B SaaS for a long time, almost every feature I built could have been a simple spreadsheet or some emails. So I'm highly skeptical AI is going to change anything. Enterprise sales basically works like this:

In case anyone is wondering: In newer versions of MacOS, the user must log out to require a password. Locking screen no longer requires password if Touch ID is enabled.

“Stablecoins is one of the key pillars for us,” Dalal said, referring to one of the areas where Y Combinator would like to see more startup ideas. “So we just want to live and breathe that as well.” I asked ChatGPT for an honest translation

No, but every day I have to listen to my insufferable manager tell us we have to use whatever AI tool is trending on X. If I could quote this stupid industry I would.

Can you describe the architecture a bit? You setup a server that runs the app, the app's interface is Slack, and that calls out to ChatGPT or something using locally built tool calls? Was thinking of setting up something like this and

Is there a similar tool which just requires confirmation/permission from me to execute every action? I'm imagining I get a notification asking me to proceed/confirm with whatever next action, like Claude Code? Basically I wan

Because in the world people currently live in, a small class of people own the means of production and the land you stand on, and everyone else has to have a job to access all of the necessities to live. Eliminating jobs means, quite litera

It goes further back than 50 years for sure. Was small-government rhetoric embraced by the whole party that far back though? Seems to me it wasn't embraced by the whole party until after Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. I think it re

The linked tweets seem like exaggerations or hyperbole. "I shipped 22 PRs yesterday, and 27 the day before" – huh? Are these PRs just one-liner copy changes or something? Even if you're not coding, you have to at least be ver

Because every time I've done something of my own initiative, one of three things happens: 1/ I'm punished or reprimanded for doing something that my time wasn't explicitly scheduled for. This comes from managers. 2/
