I don’t think this line of thinking is particularly robust because it ignores how AI is being used and where the resource usage is coming from. Right now there are a small number of very very resource intensive use cases that are being subs

Yep, being insured by Corgi is a huge risk. The reason why Corgi is especially terrible is that the inexperienced “growth” “interns” aren’t just selling low quality insurance they don’t understand that isn’t fit for purpose, that’s bad but

Risklytics are taking the boring, sensible approach of being a broker, modernizing the application process to broaden the type of clients that can be underwritten. Corgi are taking the batshit insane approach of insuring clients directly th

The degree to which this lacks empathy for the struggle to survive that people have the world over is harder to believe. Sincerely, though, all fishing is pretty terrible, we (the rich west) have been overfishing and pillaging the oceans fo

The $200 max plan is for individuals. The individual plans are heavily subsidized. Employers should be using either the Team plan (which has much lower limits than max) or the Enterprise plan (which is entirely billed on usage). Anthropic k

I don’t mean to imply that making things with these tools is lesser, or that it doesn’t require some skill, but it is fundamentally different to programming. I’m glad you’re able to bring new things to life with these tools, that’s a great

I strongly disagree. GitHub, a year ago, acknowledged the fundamental problems and began work on them. We all agree with the diagnosis and strategy: stop building new things, bring stability. Why would whether the CTO codes have any bearing

I think you’re probably missing why it’s exhausting. The problem is not writing English, it’s the rate of change. Programming is meditative, it is a thinking process, the code you output is an artifact of your thinking. Agent-based developm

I think you mean landlords, not squatters. Squatters are the people who occupy owned property without permission, landlords are the people who hold property, do nothing, and collect profit.

Yes, that’s how you know they’re rich rich. They’re so rich they don’t care about having a website. The reputable brokers know who they are, the serious buyers will get a message to them.

There are domain name investment companies, yes. HugeDomains owns over 5 million domains! As for product companies, like Ramp, buying domains as an investment is generally a terrible idea. Domains are not liquid, the (hypothetical) $5 milli

The domain was previously owned by Innovation HQ (innovationhq.com) who own tens of thousands of domains, some of the best in the world (they sold robot.com not long ago, owns/runs whatismyip.com). Innovation were asking ~$5 million fo

Can you provide a link to where he has said that? I’m not an expert on Ed but I don’t recall ever reading him say that it is functionally useless, he doesn’t comment on its function, only the business, whether it has functional use is immat

I don’t think that’s Ed’s position. As I understand it, Ed’s position is that it has no real economic value. AI is a tool, a useful tool, an innovative tool, but technology has introduced innovative tool after innovative tool for years. Apa

A common refrain is that oh there are such great margins on tokens that none of this matters… I wonder how long until that notion will be disavowed? The scale of the tokensnaffling is massive, not just from resale, but also people using mul

but this is just an absolute fantasy, what, exactly, will this compute be doing? Our lives are already deeply entwined with technology and use barely any compute. How could our lives become 100x more dependent on compute? You can be thrille

You’ve just described registry premium domains. The .com registry operator is bound by a bunch of pricing restrictions but that’s not true for most other registry operators. And so, registry premium pricing was invented to defeat domain inv

Who cares? Trying to compete with the U.S. is a race to the bottom. If young people want to enter the capitalist thunderdome we should encourage them to go off to the U.S. and instead focus on raising a generation that isn’t interested in m
