I wish this article wasn’t AI slop. It wasn’t X, it was Y.

If someone is building a new cloud, worth learning a few lessons from Cloudflare. Perhaps the VM idea is old. The unit is a worker encapsulated in some deployable container. In the world of Cloudflare workers - especially durable objects th

I wonder why TS folks chose golang and not rust. I know esbuild is golang and v fast. But newer tooling like bun is in Zig and Rolldown in rust. Rust is making a bigger share of perf critical tooling. Not sure if they’ve written a blog. Wou

Wow! I didn't think it happen this soon. Remarkable.

I could understand the portal before. Now it’s a gazillion things bolted on. Enshittification is well in force. I’d trust the huperscalers a lot more with their workers/lambda like infra to run routine jobs calling LLM APIs or determin

Netflix raising prices so YouTube keeps on raising prices. If they justified the price increase by giving an option to totally disable shorts and control over hiding some parts of UI, I’d understand. However Google is turning on their rent

As usual anything Israel gets flagged. From tech perspective, technology builders now need to be extra aware how it’s used. Is releasing the next autonomous algo/library worth it?, if the US department of war with their friends can use

That’s the messiness. 77 million voted for a slightly worse life. Higher food and gas prices. Less jobs. Higher rents. All in the name of “immigrants are root cause problems” The average person really has one choice “red” or “blue” and ther

Saudi funding Ukraine and making Russia collapse to gain their Nuclear Weapons would be quite the future timeline.

Trump family is in bed with a ton of shady firms. Soooo much crypto fraud. Most openly corrupt president of our time.

The signature of claude is in the piece. “Same X, Same Y, Z later”. Great piece but sometimes I wonder how much is human thought vs AI fluff.

Or more specifically “We used up all the ammunition”. Americans got nothing for it other than higher inflated costs.

For anyone who really cares about AI in depth, Dwarkesh and the sxyz podcasts are the OG.

I’d suggest having an adblocker first. Second not having a ton of extensions. Extensions can do fishy things. This is Chrome’s broken model. Before installing an extension, one should be able to see all the domains an extension talks to. Th

Online service works for some but not others. IRS doesn’t sync with the state registries for databases. So if your LLC is close to a name of another one in their out of date DB, IRS breaks. Their fax machine doesn’t always work. No way to e

One of the nice things I like about hn.algolia.com is that it doesn’t care about flagging. If it’s voted or commented on, it bubbles up and gets sorted by a deterministic algo. I think flagging is abused in HN as a form of censorship.

Let’s not forget the Republican govt + DOGE fired anyone with a spine at SEC. So SpaceX will be listed and soon on the index. He learned how getting into S&P500 index was a rocket ship for Tesla. So he bent the rules for SpaceX. So when

There’s a ton of Savior syndrome in the top AI labs where they believe the world would end unless they were there. I really hope the best AIs that actually solve critical problems come from companies who are open source scrutiny friendly. A

The Q is does this accelerate solar and wind, or just makes life more miserable for everyone and we’re back to the same next election. US falling behind China. There’s a good possibility trillions allocated in datacenter buildout was misall

Yes. But without new money in economy, that $50B is not being spent elsewhere. So Oil barons getting rich, at the expense of everyone else. “Make America Feel Poor Again”

Haha. US ain’t got the balls to fight NK. They got nukes and US presidents take pictures with their supreme leader. Iran knows what’s on the other side once they have nukes. No one touches them.

Yeah not having a switch to turn off shirts is a great indicator that Google’s “do no evil” is a relic of the past. Google gives no fucks other than printing more billions every quarter.

Netflix like any rational business keeps on increasing its prices until their profits no longer grow, or a new entrant eats their lunch.

Oh boy. I’m dealing with IRS right now to get an EIN for an LLC. They won’t give an EIN over online form. Must be faxed or physically mailed. They say 3-5 days. Been weeks. I pay $5/week to hold onto a fax number. So Trump spending hun

Oh the irony of US is the paper tiger like Russia and Iran is the underdog like Ukraine. Trump made a very strategic error that he can’t easily get out of. US borrowing trillions in debt to fund other people’s wars. This level of stupidity

Always wondered why Atlassian was so big. Their software is utter garbage. Slow, clunky. They don’t treat their employees well. Now with all the AI slop, it seems they don’t know what good software is. Yeah if you have option to move away f

Is there a serious “rebuild all of civilization” book? Sounds like a good read.

The laser systems make sense. It’s focusing a beam on a drone. But it has range issues. Radar and GPS jamming are stop gaps. Cameras and onboard processors are so cheap. Drones are more autonomous, all they need is vision and IMU orientatio

May be this is how we get decentralized solar grids and accelerate moving away from fossil fuels. Bomb the oil infra in a stupid war that a senile old 80 year baby wanted.
