If you write more good code by hand than by agent in 2026 that says more about you than anything else (either your ability to give instructions or your ability to delegate). The code they write is above average.

I agree with most of your points too. But some of them are kinda bullshit. For instance, why would you blame Google for unattended kids dumb enough to go on a "5h" wilderness trip with 0.5L of water? I've always hated holiday

I attribute this to a hazy memory of "previous ways". Either that or you're in some very well supplied area. I remember not being able to get books, I remember walking for hours in the weather just to find a library that had

All of Amazon, Apple, all the AI stuff, Google, including YouTube, yes. They make tons of money for the US. Value is somewhat more subjective, but Amazon for instance certainly creates an enormous amount of value, as do Google's search

Read the post. It's all fear mongering around a very balanced response from the WMF. Could they engage in union-busting? Sure. Did they? No.

Because solving a real world problem is fun. Doesn't really matter how frivolous the problem is, there's always something to be learned when creating a new system.

Most of the big ones. Only issue is the US is crap at collecting tax from them.

Martin was convicted on three counts of securities fraud. The TL;DR is he was shilling a successful fund while sitting on massive losses. A Madoff kinda thing. This has nothing to do with what people actually hate him for, and for which he

Not really. Using leverage has risks that you're supposed to understand before you do it. It's not a free lunch, unless you're putting the sharks' interest ahead of yours. Or clueless, which was the case here, as L.A. is

Because hn is primarily about competence, knowledge and tech, which Martin has in spades. The arguments against him barely hold water in general anyway.

You should be the one driving Claude instead. If the offshores need PR review then they're literally adding no value at all. If you're wasting time reading slop PRs then you're also adding no value.

You're right, but the "just" in "just finetune" is doing _a lot_ of work here. It's still early days and we "just" don't really know how to do it well.

Rocketry is tightly controlled by ITAR, so mobility is lower than you'd expect for a high value field.

The US has at least led the longest window of relative peace in the world. Might seem worse or the same to you if you're in one of the flashpoints, but for Europeans they've been reasonable hegemons until recently. Russia has no s

I'd have been more worried about that had the models not gotten incredibly good over time. But they did get good and this seems like a non-issue.

Nah that's complete bull. It's been a solved problem since Android 2.0. The only thing they're improving on mobile these days are addictiveness and data collection.
