Private equity is even more insidious than you can imagine. How it works is that PE will buy a profitable company, and then strip out everything it can, and then load on the debt. In exchange for loading on the debt, the banks will give pre

I worked at a crypto exchange and after I came to the conclusion that 99% of crypto was scams and rugpulls, I sold all my crypto and vowed to have nothing to do with it. It's more of a religion than a financial instrument and absolutel

Obama was hated by San Franciscan progressives because he came in with all of these promises and then backtracked on almost all of them. He basically turned into a Bush-lite, and he even maintained every single one of Bush's policies a

You can't have a sustainable ecology when China sends a city of trawlers to devastate fish stocks around the world and then sends it all back to China. It leaves the countries that were depending on that fish suffering with no repercus

You are literally uttering nonsense. No one is blaming PG&E for all wildfires. We are blaming PG&E for the wildfires THAT THEY CAUSED. These fires could have been prevented if THEY BURIED THEIR POWERLINES back in the early 2000s whe

If the electricity bills ever drop I will eat my hat. Even if they drop the rates, they will increase the connection fees to make up for it.

Yes, exactly. There was no point in getting vaccinated with that vaccine.

> That the virus would mutate this much was not something that scientists could have predicted at that point. The common scientific consensus has always been "Don't vaccinate in the middle of a pandemic" because it would c

Has the UN actually solved any problems in the last 40+ years? It seems like a massive bureaucracy that is absolutely ineffective. They have been completely ineffective with respect to Ukraine, Gaza, COVID, any other conflict around the wor

They were supposed to bury them underground but they didn't. This is a well known issue that they ignored because they didn't want to spend the money and instead paid dividends and did massive stock buybacks. Now, 20 years later,

I wouldn't care if the money were actually going to improving the system but it's not, it's going to shareholders and paying for their crimes. The fact we have to pay for their crimes and their CEO and execs and shareholders

Also, they charge natural gas rates that are ridiculous compared to the current price of natural gas. They give rebates on electrically powers appliances and then jack up the prices on electricity, and then tell us not to charge our cars du

PG&E instead of constantly upgrading and maintaining their distribution system, decided to pay out dividends and buy back stock, as well as pay their CEO $50 million per year. That's why their outdated equipment kept starting fires

Americans have nothing on fascism compared to Europeans, especially what is going on in Britain right now.

It is/was a vaccine, I think the terminology is correct. It just didn't work effectively because the variants mutated too quickly because you're not supposed to vaccinate in the middle of a pandemic. This cause an explosion o

This is false and has never been proven. This was the propaganda that was spread after the vaccine was openly no longer working. What stopped the pandemic was omicron that was so explosively contagious that 98+% of the world got it at the t

The point is that mandates forcing people, like my son, who already had COVID to take the vaccine were absolutely wrong. And it also exposed him to the possibility of getting myocarditis from the vaccine, which is openly a risk talked about

The CPUC is fighting on behalf of PG&E. It is headed by Newsom's buddy and they have let PG&E raise prices without pushback.

mRNA vaccines are a fantastic technology that were completely oversold by politicians. The politicians lied to our faces and twisted our arms through mandates and threatened us to believe what they told us, not what we were seeing with our

PG&E's most transparent fraud is by forcing people to move everything to electricity and then forcing them to use less electricity, and then complaining they aren't making enough money so that they raise electricity rates. Las

Then you write another test. That's the whole point of TDD. As you keep writing more tests, the closer it gets to its final form.

I don't think you're wrong but I feel like there's a big bridge between the spec and the code. I think the tests are the part that will be able to give the AI enough context to "get it right" quicker. It's sort

No. The way to code going forward with AI is Test Driven Development. The code itself no longer matters. You give the AI a set of requirements, ie. tests that need to pass, and then let it code whatever way it needs to in order to fulfill t

Opening up the internet to a nuclear facility so that the janitor can watch Youtube seems preposterous. People can afford to do things slower for the sake of security. Having things typed out, verifying security via phone calls, etc like it

There needs to be a law that all nuclear and nuclear-adjacent facilities have no connection to the Internet. The fact it's allowed is unbelievable.

It's a good reminder actually that if you don't test the failover process, you have no failover process. The CTO or VP of Engineering should be held accountable for not making sure that the failover process is tested multiple time

Are "agents" just programs that call into an LLM and based on the response, it will do something?
