I’m getting more and more convinced that this is a main problem all over the West. In Germany, a business owner called Marco Scheel is becoming more and more popular by being very outspoken about how bureaucracy is hindering him. His compan

I removed “South” from the original title because the title was too long for HN and “South” seemed the least informative word here (it’s quite common for “Korea” to refer to “South Korea” in Western sources).

Just did some maintenance on my blog and got the first image in this blog post working again. Still, now half a year later, the post has aged pretty well. Battery pack prices are now reliably below 128 $/kWh (e.g., https://w

That’s not what I meant to say. I think many in Silicon Valley underestimate how much right place and right time has played a role in the success. With that in mind, I think too many ideas from Silicon Valley are blindly copied as a theory

I mean does it surprise you at this point that it’s hard to find integrity in Silicon Valley? My current theory is that it’s a side effect of easy wins since the fall of the Soviet Union. There was no competition and only the US knew how to

I can also make the counterargument that people who grew up in hardship are more likely to become relentless businessmen. Most of the top richest people in America are immigrants. Most people don’t start a business because they tell themsel

Isn’t that the whole idea of a business? To make money. (Sounds like I’m kidding but I’m not really. Many of the richest people were very poor at some point. For example, Andrew Carnegie or Levi Strauss. Also Arnold Schwarzenegger started f

The fact that it exists doesn’t mean it’s the best. You see it all the time that businesses do something just because everyone does it too. For example, the current AI investments, collatoral debt obligations in the 2000s, and conglomerate

Thank you for sharing. I had completely missed this drama but it’s amazing assuming true (which it seems to be). It’s so funny that a guy like Elon feels the need to prove himself so bad. He has achieved so many things already and could ju

Interesting. What project are you working on? For me it's writing a library in Rust.

Well you can read the book. The argument is quite nuanced (and important!) so I'm having a hard time to correctly put in into words in one comment.

I’ve used Cursor a lot and the conclusion doesn’t surprise me. I feel like I’m the one *forcing* the system in a certain direction and sometimes an LLM gives a small snippet of useful code. Sometimes it goes in the wrong direction and I hav

I've seen a lot of work from Stephen Kotkin over the Soviet Union and it wouldn't surprise me. The Soviet Union went through three major famines between 1932 and 1947 [1]. As is often the case, the situation was worse in states th

Armenia at the time belonged to the Soviet Union. To me, these examples emphasize again how truly dysfunctional that system must have been.

Hopefully many sites will switch to a static site generator like Hugo or Zola. Way lower costs, lower risk of being hacked (almost impossible actually), and a reliable backup thanks to Git. I’m running multiple static sites for years alread

Sounds interesting and very plausible, but the piece is missing evidence. No timestamps, no dates, no names. It could have been written by anyone.
