Fashion is a deeply irrational market that preys on the worst of human nature. There are companies selling cotton t-shirts with a logo on them for 500 dollars. You might say ok, if people are dumb enough to buy that then that's not my

I used to live 80 minutes from my workplace and I had to get there by public transport because I didn't have a car, cooking at home and taking my food to work was not always possible, especially during the summer. And I used to live wi

>Because it is not at all obvious that that is, in fact, reality. It doesn't help to complain about easily-disprovable things like the affordability of cars. Well you can just search "why are cars so expensive" and then yo

I don't doubt you can eat three meals with 6 dollars, but it's crazy how solipsistic people are when it comes to food. Not everybody can buy food in bulk and cook at home. A 10 oz ham sandwich will probably cost you more than 2 do

People have commutes and work shifts that don't always allow them to buy food in bulk and cook their own food. Not everybody is like you. Restaurants have never been a necessity for life, but I guess that for a lot of people you should

The yearly cost of food for one person without children in the county of Los Angeles(I selected an expensive area on purpose) is showing 4,428 USD. That's about 12 dollars a day. I don't even live in the United States but that val

I always laugh when libertarians propose all kinds of mechanism to prevent the concentration of power in the public administration but at the same time see no problem with a few individuals concentrating exponentially the most important and

To be quite honest, in many ways AI itself feels a bit "scammy" sometimes. The biggest case for it seems to be how to shit one million garbage apps by snapping your fingers, while problems that are really hard to solve go unaffect

As I see it, reaching meaningful progress is a very complex, uncertain and non-deterministic process of which being a high capacity individual is only one of the inputs. A very intelligent individual can spend decades working on a product d

I started working in the 10's and I have never met a single developer who actively works with Perl. Sometimes I wonder whether Perl left a huge code base behind, like COBOL did, but I suspect it didn't, mostly due to the fact that

Congrats, deofoo. Very interesting. How much of it was developed with AI? If you had to give us a percentage of how much of the code was written by yourself vs AI, what would the parity be?
