The purpose of good writing style is to communicate more effectively. Sometimes you’re trying to communicate education or class. Often that’s not the main goal.

Agreed. As someone who has built landing pages like that professionally you take inspiration from a wide range of sources. Directly copying is tacky and immoral - it's also not effective. You should be thinking about how to position _y

I think we’ll stop predicting the future soon. By the end of this year or next, the year after at the very latest.

Thanks! I’d love to check out your games if you feel like sharing! It’s super cheap to run. I pay for analytics and thats basically it. Everything else is hobby level plans. But it does take a decent chunk of time to make the puzzles. We ha

That’s one definition of fairness (market rate.) There are many other definitions of fairness as well. This comes back to the thread we’re discussing. What a fair wage means is a philosophical and moral question. Not just a math problem. If

What if you think all of the available offers are unfair but you don’t have the means to start your own business?

Yeah he responded to a philosophical and moral argument with a math problem. And an overly simplistic view of the math problem too. (Surely going from 1000 to 2000 customers is as easy as going from 10 to 20, right?)

I’m continuing to work on my daily word game Tiled Words! https://tiledwords.com I checked my analytics recently and over 100 people have 100+ day streaks which kind of blows my mind! I released custom player puzzles which has b

Really fun idea! Though I agree about the feedback on the physics: the ball doesn't travel as far as I'd like and bounces off the edge too often. The game also often wanted to reorient me towards the flag which was annoying when I

A lot of people would prefer nuclear deproliferation over building more nukes. Arms races always work out great for arms dealers. Less so for the average Joe.

> what rational reason is there to employ a human being? To maintain a functioning society and social contract? Is wanting low unemployment in our society not rational?

Yeah that’s fair It still makes it a tougher sell to deliver high quality more slowly Side note: when it comes to front end I’m thinking less about scalability and security (though they apply) and more about performance, accessibility, reap

The big change I've seen is that before if you knew what you were doing you had two options: - Make something crappy fairly quickly - Make something good a little slower AI has introduced a third option: - Make something really crappy

Honestly if we went back to horses but had good public transportation as well (buses, trains, airports) it could be pretty sweet I know most people don’t agree with that but it seems nice to me

Do you know people who have gotten 10x raises due to increased output since AI came out? The one group I can think of is workers at AI companies but that seems more like a gold rush situation than anything

Exactly. All the employers are still sharing the same sized market. There’s not more money going around for them to earn. But they’re also paying hefty AI bills so there’s less money for salaries. The AI companies just swoop in and take som

Right, the AI companies don’t even try to pretend it’s good for the average person. The message could be “we’ll all do more by working less.” Instead it’s, “some people will lose their jobs while everyone else works the same amount or more”
