This is correct. AI is a huge boon for open source, bespoke code, and end-user programming. It's death for business models that depend on proprietary code and products bloated with features only 5% of users use.

I'm thinking a lot about this currently as a recent convert (as of Opus 4.5). I think this post is on the right track, but like much of this discourse, it isn't really addressing how the technology will grow and the disciplines w

Only if visas can only be paid through earned income or returns on investments made with such. Otherwise you're mixing people who bring value by contributing labor with people who contribute capital. Both can be nice, but should we tr

You can still require people to sustain employment in their field. Maybe companies can attest that a particular role classification requires a type of high-end talent. Auditing or otherwise verifying the attestation addresses the current al

The huge fee won't solve the cheap labor problem, only shift the equilibrium. The USA Tech job market faces increasing competition from Canada and Eastern and Southern European countries with lower wages but competitive talent better t

I use vimium now, but I think with an emacs-based browser I would be better at using the advanced features.

This is so cool! I'm someone for whom emacs has steadily expanded its role in my computing life, but who will never adopt a text-based browser as a daily driver. Looking forward to the stable 4.0 release when I'll be prepared t

Two reasons: 1. Preprint servers create DOIs, making works better citable. 2. Preprint servers are archives, ensuring works remain accessible. My blog website won't outlive me for long. What happened to geocities could also happen to m

Filecoin? Not sure if that's considered a "smart contract" since it's not eth-based.

If we're "lucky" (in an AI-optimist sense) we'll need the nuclear plants despite efficiency increases.

I fear this post's argument incorrectly assumes that the cap on insurance provides as 20% percent of revenue is the limiting factor on insurance company profits. In fact, it mentions cases where insurance company profits are below the

Nvidia is doing fine :), but it would be better for them if they were not limited. Hopefully, and probably, you are right and production is limiting.

The topline is that the meteoric growth has already occurred. 18% quarterly revenue growth is good, YoY growth was 15x that.

I like the recent work you've been doing Ed, but I think stylistically you can improve by seeing the truth in some of these criticisms. Your analysis can use a stronger systemic account of both the external cultural and market forces

This is exactly right and is one (among many) reasons that reliance on cosine similarities in my field (computational social science) is so problematic. The curvature of the manifold must be accounted for in measuring distances. Other measu
