Europe would disagree. Also past US would disagree. The issue I have with US saving rate is that the last time they were this low was 2005-2007.

It's a few points, but consumers confidence is low and debt is _really_ high, saving rates are excruciatingly low (especially when compared to developing economies). If I had to bet, US growth should be driven by AI investment, high-ea

My sister worked as an intern on mycelium as fertilizer. Basically, using cover crops create a small mycelium layer that helps plant grow and reduce fertilizer use (by fixing nitrogen probably). Her job was to find molecules that would make

Yes, but they are useless, they can't steer, hence why they have more accidents than humans per driven miles.

The issue is that on the open internet, the consensus is usually the one from 2000, 2010 at best. And since social science are moving fast recently (i mostly think about modern history and linguistics here), i wouldn't trust the consen

That's _very_ unlikely. The AI craze cured me from my imposter syndrome. Since I only saw marginal gains (~20% increase in velocity on average, if we don't count the increased in PR reviews and production bugfixes), I participated

- "This is a known good state; write tests to enforce this state" is something that takes minutes now instead of days. That is incredibly powerful for understanding and maintaining a system. Not if you don't describe the test

It's not the same purpose. Ansible is useful to configure your IAC, terraform to deploy and handle the state, which is very useful when you have multiple teams working on the same infrastructure. What you can do if you _really_ like an

Terraform/openTofu is more than OK. The fact that you can use to to configure your Cisco products as well as AWS is honestly great for us. It's also a bit like ansible: if you don't manage it carefully and try to separate as

But you read your coworkers PRs. I decided this week I wouldn't read/correct the AIgen doc and unit tests from 3 of my coworkers today, because else I would never be able to work. They produce twice as much poor output in 10 time

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the individual as well as the culture. Juniors/new hire use AI to multiply by two their wrong/unsafe output, and seniors then have to spend more time correcting it. I'll be honest: I pis

My country did the same. The answer is simple. Education research. Being one year behind isn't a big deal (and use not to be), but having a few 10-11 yo in the same class as 8 yo was detrimental to everyone. We then created special cla

What's also interesting about the mongols and their inheritors (India's mughals especially) was how weird but effective their administration was. India knew around no global famines and very few local ones (none around the Bengal)

The issue I have with that is that we conflate cheptel slavery and older forms of slavery. We changed the nature of slavery in the 17th century, but kept the same words to describe it.
