When a manager with a reputation for brilliance takes on a business with a reputation for poor economics it’s the reputation of the business that remains intact

I know Google has anti-gravity but do they have anything like Claude code as far as user interface terminal basically TUI?

So it sounds like you get extra memory at the expense of having to compact more because, of course all those things are going to take up context. But since you’re not interacting with it in some kind of turn based fashion it makes it worth

I just dislike Sam Altman, and I think he's just using this as a marketing ploy, which is more dishonesty from him. People keep saying OpenClaw is hype. I installed it, but I never tried to run it, and I don't know what the compel

His voice doesn't sound that distinctive to me. He's going to have a hard time unless he can find some emails that say, use David Green's voice.

People ship stuff that doesn't make sense at first blush all the time. But how are they ever supposed to even get into the space if they don't try something? Try to get some customers, see what people want. On day one, he's n

Wasn't Bob Dole a technology investor? That would make sense.

Why do I always hear the cURL guy's opinions on this and that?

AIs don't generate junk. Engineers with little experience _think_ they generate junk. Or engineers on that bandwagon, which in my opinion is driven by denial or naivety If you know what the fuck you're doing, they're incredib

I'm tired of AWS full of hidden fees and tricking you into things that you didn't know you were paying for until a month or two goes by.

What's funny is I feel compelled to say "please" and "thank you." Like even at the point where I say it, something will say in my head, "You don't have to say that," but I do it anyway because it feel

I bet it would be probably even nicer. I've been programming DSP in C++ with JUCE. I have a very rusty C++ experience from years ago, but it's getting me through a lot of it, and I feel pretty comfortable. Maybe my ignorance is bl

No, I said palliative care. That's to ease suffering. So you're telling me we should forego cancer treatments for young cancer patients so 80-year-olds can get hip replacements? Is that what you think? Are you crazy? I never said

Sure, that sounds fine. Something like that. Something, damn it.

The government subsidizes a portion of ACA payments depending on income in America. Without the subsidies, it's unaffordable for probably 95% of the population. That's why most people rely on employer-sponsored healthcare.

I'm middle-aged so I don't really have a long time horizon but I do have expensive insurance. If you have employer-covered insurance, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. So it's easy for you to say.

Yes this is right

I took that out because I didn't think it was relevant. And yes, that is my point. Young people can't afford insurance in America. It's terrible. I think the GLP-1s are going to make things better. A huge problem, as everybod

Well, I mentioned palliative care, but in general, I agree with you. I would much rather doctors just get paid less. I took my son to the ER. He had a very high fever. They gave him a child's aspirin and me a $700 bill. I just don&#x27

If you're 80 years old, you probably should not receive a subsidized hip replacement. If you can't afford it on your own, there should just be a palliative care mandate after some age. We shouldn't save the soon-to-be-dead at

Exactly. You can keep pushing it up the chain to the Investor. Then Sam Altman I guess.

I've been doing this for 25 years though so maybe that's why. But the bigger point is that again you're not giving me anything more than "it makes mistakes" Sure it does but it makes less of them now. It will make

This is how I feel as well pretty much. It's interesting you mention the loss of knowledge. I've heard that China has adopted AI in their classrooms to teach students at a much faster pace than western countries. Right now I'
