There's probably some truth in that resentful language, but if you grade in a curve of history what has been achieved by the idea of the United States and its focus on freedom and equality of opportunity has been miraculous. p.s. Becau

Sure, but in the case of AI it resembles the relationship of a patron to an art director. We generally don't assign artistry to the person hiring an art director to create artistic output, even if it requires heavy prompting and back a

The delta between "make a small requirement that you can check and verify" vs "create the code yourself" is pretty big. A well crafted sentence can sometimes still be hours of work.

I mean, yeah at the end we're all individuals living qualitatively different lives. However, you can get a very close approximation by say dropping your kids off at their grandparents. Even during babysitting, you get nothing close to

It's not a given, but a personal anecdote is that there simply hasn't been a situation in my life prior to kids that required such a sustained focus on the happiness and wellbeing of another person before kids. It really is a type

This seems like a classic case of the whole "once we have all the data building this is easy". Yeah that's the easy part, that's why building a weather dashboard is one of the classic beginner projects. The issue is aggr

It's not worth twice as much. There was a buyer willing to pay twice as much. For something like this, the fact that value is completely subjective really sticks out. Trying to sell it again tomorrow might go for half or double.

I was extremely skeptical at the beginning, and therefore critical of what was possible as my default stance. Despite all that, the latest iterations of cli agents which attach to LSPs and scan codebase context have been surprising me in a

Reputation building is not kyc. It is actually the thing that enables anonymization to work in a more sophisticated way.

This is one area that I've found success in vibe coding with. Making scripts for repetitive tasks that are just above the complexity threshold where the math between automating and doing manually is not so clear. I have copilot generat

Pardon my ignorance but can anyone can help me figure out what does it mean to have a new stock exchange? Dont exchanges sell the same stocks? Is it just a way to earn some fees by capturing some of the trades in their platform? I'll o

It's funny, the tech purists sometimes really forget that typography has been studied to death for 100s of years before the web came to be. The backlash over wikipedia implementing a design considered to be higher readability and condu

The US definitely has a global target for disinformation. I've lived in Latam and the propaganda was far more easy to spot. The link I gave a lot was concerted efforts by the democratic party but I do acknowledge there is Russian, Nort

I agree, I actually often criticize people in the right (and I do consider myself conservative) for dismissing postmodernism when they clearly misunderstand it. A tipical argument in the right could go: 'big pharma funds the studies so

The thing that breaks my head about the conversation about timescales in the universe is that it would seem that time as a phenomenon needs to be experienced subjectively. This means that the concept of the earth existing for hundreds of mi

I just cannot relate at all to someone actually thinking that equates Elon's success to gambling on roulette. Of the million things you could criticize him for, there is this fixation by his detractors on trying to tear down his charac

Smart people do stupid stuff. People incapable of processing large amounts of information don't operate highly successful companies in multiple domains simultaneously that expand the edge of technological innovation in distinct fields.
