It's a good thought exercise, but the opening hinges on a premise that feels obviously wrong: that experts in doing work by hand will do that work faster with AI. My experience is that, in many cases, people who are very good at doing

Have you had a chance to use either of these yet? Electric looks like an obvious mature choice — curious if you think Zero's approach is compelling enough to be worth trying in alpha

Thank you for making and sharing this! It's fun to quickly increment the column counter and spot repeating patterns over time — little spiral movements, big swinging lines. Growing up I loved math's logic puzzle elements, but it

I started noticing this behavior a few months ago and whew. Easy to fix if the individual cares to, but very hard to ignore from the outside. Unsolicited advice for all: make an effort to hold onto your manners even with the robots or you&#

Has anyone tried Basement's typed xmcp framework [1]? I rolled my own mcp server implementation earlier this summer and it works but it's very basic. I'm considering migrating, but time is limited and I'd love to avoid a

Ehh, this take feels ungenerous to me. You don't have to believe a private firm is a holy order for it to benefit from a culture filled with "we believe this specific project is Important" people vs "will work at whateve

Where broker’s fees are concerned, up-front cost is typically first and last month’s rent, plus the broker’s fee, which can be as low as one month’s rent or as high as 15% of the annual rent total (almost twice the cost of a single month’

There’s nothing about a “fight the status quo” mentality that inherently favors authoritarianism and it’s not helpful to claim otherwise. That said, it is helpful to remember both knowing- and unconscious authoritarians will twist any fra

This is the right take — whatever your position on the future of this technology or its costs and benefits for humanity, the hypocrisy mentioned here shouldn't go unacknowledged.

Everyone should doublecheck sensationalist claims given the well-known incentives to lie, exaggerate, etc. That said, cutting off contact with an under-age relative over a couple hundred dollars does sound like pretty miserly behavior. A le

Everyone quoted in this article is roughly 60 years old - would have loved to know if other generations are similarly split about this experience. That said, as a former cashier who mostly uses self-checkout in her 30s: babysitting self-che

I dunno, I really enjoyed Dragon Age: Inquisition... but it was also my first real exposure to BioWare, so take it with a grain of salt.
