Victim blaming is simply a way to feel comfortable that it won’t happen to you. The takeaway should be that it CAN happen to you.

Claude code run in a VS Code terminal window pops up a diff in VSCode before making changes. Not sure if that helps. I do have the Claude Code extension installed too. I find the flow works bc if it starts going off piste I just end it. Plu

I understand the emotional aspect of feeling like it’s out of reach for you. Thing is, if you focus on your own skill development and apply it at even a small scale, very few people do that. Then you go for a job and guess what, the company

Further, to the quote you selected, a glass of wine’s perceived taste improves when you hear the story and see an old or prestigious label on the bottle. The context does actually change how people experience things. For me visiting a museu

Looking forward to the OpenAI (and Anthropic) IPOs. It’s funny to me that this info is being “leaked” - they are sussing out the demand. If they wait too long, they won’t be able to pull off the caper (at these valuations). And we will get

They are selling, to public equity investors, because they can get a better price that way than selling to another company!

OSS has allowed me to help real customers in times of need. It’s a tiny company. But there must be many others. The benefits are dispersed broadly while the “evil” appears to be more concentrated and easier to identify. Don’t lose sight of

If the article is correct and they are 144A then they will also be a little less liquid. But yeah, I have to imagine everyone involved knows what’s up. Just happens to work for everyone (for now).

That’s one narrative. It’s typical for the foundation to settle before building on top of it. Additionally do agree there is immense commercial pressure. I’m quite curious how it all shakes out across the majors. If the foundation is relati

It’s probably most important to take a long term view of asset allocations, stick to the plan, and be tax efficient. Once you cover that off, the tactical positions can maybe help a touch. Diversification is the bedrock of portfolio managem

I think his point is that we all have more in common as humans than differences, and yet the differences prevail, which is a shame (and unhealthy). So we make our own choices about where we spend our time, and some of us simply disconnect.

Host is both a noun and a verb. (The host can host a party.) Hoster is new to me too. But I get it as a pattern. (If you dine at the party then you are a diner.)

Thanks for this assessment. In a productive way, this view also shifts the focus to improving the system (visibility etc), empowering the team, rather than focusing on the code which broke (probably strikes fear in the individuals, to do an

The general term bubble doesn’t help. It’s reasonably obvious that there are some very high expectations baked in to certain equity valuations. Leave it to the reader to take a view on whether it makes sense.

Many lenses. I do like the authors focus on one. But you’re right it doesn’t tell the whole story. Op margins are a great way to think about where one might see mean reversion, which then flows to net. Ie are there structural reasons for th

I enjoyed reading this. If we think about applicability to AI (as the footnote suggests was on the authors mind)… I found myself thinking about the motivations and incentives that existed at the time, to understand why. Ships - my read is t

After a ~20 year break from first person shooters I’ve recently played Call of Duty Multiplayer and what struck me was how many superficial skins or various rewards were visible to others - it seems to steer the player to accumulate these t

Yup. The central argument seems to include an assumption that LLMs will be the same tomorrow as today. I'd note that people learn and accumulate knowledge as new languages and frameworks develop, despite there being established practic

Sounds like the guy had rude awakening that his lock wasn’t as good as he thought it was. Another way of responding to this is… to improve the lock? Could even explore a positive collaborative social media campaign promoting the new lock. S

Yup. It becomes clearer to me when I think about the existing validators. Can these be improved, for sure. It’s when people make the leaps to the multi-year endgame and in their effort to monetise by building overconfidence in the product w

I tend to agree that dropping the tool as it is into untrained hands is going to be catastrophic. I’ve had similar professional experiences as you and have been experimenting with Claude Code. I’ve found I really need to know what I’m doing

I understand that you're goal is getting home. It might be helpful for other viewers to share 1) a bit more about your story and 2) how them using the service helps. Maybe people can help in other ways you don't anticipate.

These discussions often devolve into how Heroku is “expensive”. You’re paying for convenience and not having to worry about something. Every business will evaluate this for themselves. For a profitable business with a lean team, Heroku work

I'd suspect the revolver has conditions that limit the circumstances under which it can be drawn. A public company is required to file the details of the facility but in this case... suspect OpenAI has gone for the headline but the det

Similar story here. Pleasant to work with too. The accessibility of this material and also the broader python ecosystem is truly incredible. After reflecting on this recently, started finding ways to give back/donate/contribute.
