(in the comments here) there are some very interesting topics touched that would definitely warrant a discussion of their own. One of these topics is how (in many countries) the government become the enemy of it's people - the politici

Wouldn't it be enough to have a "walkman" styled mp3 app? Or even a smatwach-app or even just walkman-buds? The physical casette /CD is obsolete, most people don't even have music stored on their internal storage an

Haha. True, CI success was not part of PR accept criteria at any point. If you view the PRs, they bundle multiple fixes together, at least according to the commit messages. The next hurdle will be to guardrail agents so that they only imple

The blog[0] is worded rather conservatively but on Twitter [2] the claim is pretty obvious and the hype effect is achieved [2] CEO stated "We built a browser with GPT-5.2 in Cursor" instead of "by dividing agents into planner

Why are we always blaming the lowest developer for things? How about we target the Jira overlords who know exactly what they are doing? I was once in a team developing a billing system that was counting how many times NSA invokated APIS to

The single biggest opportunity equalizer for the young generations come from 2 unlikely sources: COVID (mandatory WFH) and Musk (ubiquitous internet access). This opens doors for anyone who is hard working and can follow though a long term

How is housing expensive?? Assuming a 1.2m house (for easy math). You pay 200k down and take a 1m loan which is 6k/mo. After 10y you sell the house for 2.4m. Having paid 720k, ~500k of mortgage is left over. So 200k turns into 2.4m -50

Please let's not glorify working from 6am (effectively allocating time since 5am for work) unless you also left office at 2pm. Only seeing your children on weekends to make your boss 10% happier is not something to be proud about

this is another overreach of collectivism virus creeping upon us to make parenting even harder. As of 2022, the average cost of raising a child to age 17 is $310605 [1] [2]. That does not include all the unpaid parenting time which is proba

The progressives should really pick up on the benefits of WFH and become active proponents. WFH is the biggest equalizer of geographic opportunity, decreases physical disability impact, decreases carbon footprint, improves meritocracy, decr

WFH is an invention equal to washingmachine + dishwasher where 2h each day is not being lost anymore by unproductive activity. With plenty of externalities on top of the lost time. If (only as a test excercise) for 5 years we mandated the

Unfortunately this was published a few revisions too early IMHO. And a couple of peer reviews but the exploration itself is a nice try. Due to nonlinearity of the rocket equation some assumptions are really really really off [a] [b]. V2 onl

We should ask ourselves why other launch providers have not done this? Why have we been told by BMW, Mercedes, Lexus "this is all there is", "people will only buy so many $100k cars per year". Then Tesla came an squeezed

Elon did his usual "escape forward" trick but in the end this iteration does not deliver what was promised. I reserved a $40k truck in 2019 that was supposed to be much easier to manufacture than regular cars - hence the relativel

average Human uses 2000 kcal of food per day (~10MJ) which is 2,32 kWh, that's what an EV uses to drive 10km (6mi). Using a Diesel car that much energy will drive you 1km (0.8mi). I think we're not looking in the right direction i

This is a hit piece against middle class. A simple counter example: if you were 400k in debt on a 500k house, COVID-relief money printing caused 20% inflation meaning your home is now worth 600k and you still have 400k debt to pay off but w
