Some good answers below already. I think the anti nuclear movement already started before Chernobyl. I believe it was one of the founding ideologies of the green parties (the danger of high CO2 emissions was not yet front of mind for a lot

If you find a more informed and up-to-date source than a market where people wagered close to $1M on I'm all ears.

There's a very low chance of OpenAI doing an IPO this year: https://polymarket.com/event/openai-ipo-by . So the assumption that they "have to do an IPO" already seems questionable. The rest of the analysi

No to both in my opinion. The EU market is in reality still heavily fractured - especially in the services sector. A Hungarian construction company for example can't just easily build a bridge for a town in Italy. With Europe steadily

Fascinating. The 2001 shift aligns well with China's entry into the WTO.

I think this is part of a long term development where technology and globalization slowly erode workers bargaining power. Basically you only build a factory in the US if you can keep labour costs low enough and the manufacturing automated e

There are already open weight models out there that are capable and cheap enough for a lot of coding tasks. Not as good as Claude but not far from it. There's no going back to pre-AI coding.

Whether public or individual transportation makes more sense really depends on a country’s geography and people’s housing preferences. Public transportation is not always the best option.

Maybe Im nitpicking here but LLMs are quite literal. So when you tell it to "implement a function for me" it will necessarily write the whole thing. Changing the prompt to "find an existing implementation for this" would

I'm surprised prediction markets don't get more support here on HN. There's a lot of benefit in having a probability estimate for various kinds of events. One example of many: https://polymarket.com/event&#x2F

I think LLMs will make dealing with complicated ERPs much simpler. So I built a chat-native one that can do all the functionality just via prompting: https://github.com/lambdadevelopment/lambda-erp

They only want dumb humans doing the shopping not some hyper-focused bot that wont add any extra items into the shopping cart.

Thanks. The demo itself is prerecorded - so no LLM calls. It's just replaying from the sql db. In an actual request it isn't much slower though in finding what tools to use, etc. You can test it btw. I've allocated an hourly

good question - some thoughts I had: hosting the model and maybe some review process. for example: you have the customer's employees telling llms about new features and then a dedicated review cycle on the hosting side makes sure it do

I believe this is the direction enterprise software is generally going. An open-source base with a very permissive license that then each company can adapt (with claude, codex, etc.) for it's own needs. It's either running it on i

A few hours ago I noticed a considerable decline in code quality. It seemed the model got downgraded so I switched to codex. Anybody else noticed this? It starts to switch from deep reasoning and trying to fully grasp architectural changes

Another commenter explained it: It's about working on multiple branches in parallel. You can only check out one branch at a time currently in git - but with "but" you have all the changes just in memory so different agents ca

I'm still looking for a viable alternative to AWS or Azure. A European provider that can be managed through Terraform and can spin up all the services a standard web application needs: K8s, DNS, Mail Service, Blob Storage, etc.

The war in Iran proves the opposite: It is actually the future. The US could easily establish air dominance over Iran, yet it can't stop their military from launching smaller drones both in the air and at sea. The Strait of Hormuz is e

Quick fixes have tendencies to break other stuff and just make matters worse. Better to leave it offline for a little longer, fix the definitive root issue and make sure it comes online nicely. If the issue was just a quirk in a recent depl

Not sharing your take of the electorate's powerlessness at all. It's not an overwhelming majority (only 57% of voters in the US: https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/54124-nearly-half-american... ) which thi

Same reply to you as the other commentator: Fully agree that not doing anything will hurt more. The hard part is finding policies that actually work without costing the lower and middle class more right now. The conservatives basically ever

Not disputing that it will hurt everyone's pocket. But politically it is very fraught to push for policies that will benefit a new group of people (wind turbine engineers, solar cell installers) at the expense of an established group (

I have a different take: Things will change once a big part of the electorate no longer feels like climate change policies will hurt their pocket. A lot of the opposition to the policies are from people who aren't in the richer percent
