The tradition of earning money from copies failed when going digital made the cost of copies go nearly to zero. Money now needs to be made from other channels like experiences and new models like pay to release where the work is only tease

As we are seeing, "can't" is a really strong word.

It seems like the focus should be on capturing carbon dioxide from the oceans. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is extremely diffuse, but the oceans absorb it in large quantities and as a result it becomes much more dense which makes captu

Cynical, indeed! I'm not good enough with leetcode exercises to worry about coding for a large organization. And I hardly use LLMs at all in my coding. Guess I'm back to focusing on value from my own perspective.

Or possibly under regulated. Where exactly is all the radioactive waste going to go? Especially the spent fuel rods pose major disposal challenges. The one site that was looking hopeful appears to have been discarded. It is a bit late i

It isn't only companies, it is a mass social movement. Anyone with basic coding experience can download some basic learning apparatus and start feeding it material. The latest LLMs make it extremely easy to compose code that scrapes

This is the biggest red flag for me. In contrast, as Ruby and Rust were adopted they generated many tools, libraries, frameworks, and full applications which answered unmet needs in clever and interesting ways. What has generative LLMs pr

That isn't realistic at all. Customers change and their needs change with them. Sometimes customers die. Products that stay the same change their fit over time and eventually fall away. A business that is not growing is dying. Tha

It will be interesting how this goes moving forward. Agents learn from massive scraping. With the newest tools and frameworks there is nothing but documentation and initial examples to scrape. And now that agent output is flooding everyt

Strange how LLM vendors are flooding the market with reasons not to do business with them. Every paid agentic interaction contributes to all the bad behavior we are seeing. From out of control web scraping to buying up available hardware

Turn every potentially useful development tool into some LLM hype bullshit to grow the bubble.

It seems that innovators, researchers, and founders all work at a fast pace, but adoption of new technology, especially LLMs, ends up being done by companies as is convenient. When an open position can go unfilled or a group can scale up w

Labubus got extra kick from being gambling also. Many were sold in boxes without labels or with minimal labels that listed possible contents. That makes the actual product into more of a loot box kind of thing. That might have contributed

Nice summary, but in my experience with programming language design the macro usage issues loom large. What about base libraries, use of popular libraries, build tools, performance analysis, debugging, packaging and modularity, and so on. T

This idea that there is only one story and one path is pernicious. Paul Orfalea flunked out of school and couldn't hold a job, so instead he built a business that he later sold for around five billion. His book Copy This! is loaded wit

Inform the user in a minimal way. Probably this means some kind of flag that can be clicked on in order to see a list of what was done and what problems that might address. If the fixes relate to unused features then they can be pended an

Telemetry is not mentioned. Many apps nowadays are extremely chatty and record a wide range of details of use. In theory this helps to optimize usage and discover blocking bugs, but in reality it is mostly just an annoyance that enables s

This seems badly supported, likely entirely wrong. There is a lot of hype about automation, but hiring has all but stopped before without any automation revolutions being needed. If automation were driving this then there would be a shape
