Adding to the chorus of “this looks like X old thing”. This reminds me of Clipper/dBase software tools. One of my favorite pieces of software was a tiny program file + flat-file .dbf for storage. Drag and drop the folder to install or

For people wondering what types of organizations A/I was providing services to, you can explore the blogs that A/I hosted by using DataRepublican's database that was scraped from the NoBlogs platform. https://datar

This bike booster will probably come in at less than half the cost but the Bimotal kit is another option that doesn't have the tire wear issue, offers better performance, and the form factor is much nicer. https://bimotal.co

Just in case this isn't a compliment, I'll note that I think Dex has been pretty good about admitting when they were wrong, explaining why they were wrong, and what they're doing now instead.

There are much cheaper ways to acquire a bank charter though?

Agreed and I think the author agrees with this too. One of the ideas is that the devs should be discussing and documenting their intent outside of the code then letting AI tools generate the code as specified. "Engineering" should

I wonder if the reception is so variable due to differing exposure to 1) infra as code and 2) engineering teams that don't produce any artifacts outside of their code. > When starting on a new codebase, how do you make yourself into

by molsongolden 3mo ago
I think the point is that there are better engineering artifacts to review instead of lines of code. Encoding the decisions, structure, requirements, testing, monitoring, then reviewing those and having AI generate and regenerate code based

Has anyone seen evidence of lower levels in other countries? I searched for recent studies and it sounds like Canada and the EU have also reported similar findings but there isn't much widespread testing or totally comparable testing a

A lot of these articles and social media discussions miss by not contemplating the fact that by increasing productivity and incomes we have also increased the cost of leisure. In the vein of The Harried Leisure Class, the more opportunities

Many AI initiatives have had massive ROI though. The implementation problems are similar to any pre-AI tech rollout and hugely expensive non-AI tech implementations fail all the time.

Another component or view of this is that automating the rote work is "eliminating the boring parts" (I love this and have worked extensively on this) but it is also eliminating the less cognitively demanding work. Once you have a

In 2022, Brex shifted away from SMB to refocus their offering. They cut "tens of thousands" of SMB customers who didn't fit their new ICP. They announced this in June 2022 and gave all of those customers 2mo to find a new pro

It could definitely be a niche thing with me squarely in the niche. It was my top pick for our mix of activities in the mountain west.

Pretty surprised here and I think it was really just bad marketing or I guess unsustainable unit economics. Price out the cheapest F-150 (XL) with a supercrew cab and 4x4 and you are looking at $50k. Trucks are just expensive. The Lightning

I'll also note that I have multiple Mercury accounts and part of the way they have mitigated the risk of easier account opening and taking on higher risk customers is that they impose fairly low transaction limits on new customers and

Lol, what triggered this absolute hatchet job targeting Mercury? I haven't read other posts from the author but are all of them of this style? Most of it reads like a Muddy Waters style short-seller exposé. The author whirlwinds throug

This sounds similar to a small private school in the USA. Public schools here do not allow or enable discipline or the backing of the school.

Not a restriction of the 83b election but a restriction of when you can exercise. Without early exercise you are stuck exercising as you vest so there’s more likely to be a taxable spread between your option strike price and the value of th

Sorry, separate concepts executed at separate times. Early exercise (yep, 83b in the US) when options are issued then allowing employees to sell shares down the road, outside of fundraising events (Forge, EquityZen, sales to angel SPVs, etc
