And presumably there's another side of it too? Like all that hot air would have to be somewhere else if not Western Europe. That somewhere else would also have a bad time, just in the opposite direction. Very bleak.

It sounded hyperbolic for the 50 last newsworthy things he has done. Americans seems to think the current order is a given when in reality it's much more precarious.

Inflation looks a lot like taxation, yes. But assets, the markets for equities, etc rise with inflation. The upper class has most of their net worth in assets/equities, whereas the poorer people are living paycheck to paycheck just buy

Your comment amounts to "no it won't" Why. We used to have much higher tax rates on the super wealthy. That was when America was doing stuff rather than floundering. I'd even argue it's in their own interest to have

Volatility caused by short term thinking is bad for workers. Over hiring and layoffs are a symptom of that. That being said, yes the article is just a rant. But that doesn't mean it's wrong generally. I think it ascribes a bit mor

I feel like covid was only yesterday, yet it seems people have already forgotten the lessons we learned about lack of supply chain resilience. Resilience comes at a cost, and that cost is efficiency. That is the tradeoff being made here. It

This is neat. I'm not a swift user, but I did work on a project where we made heavy use of JInterface (which ships in OTP), which is effectively the same thing but for JVM languages. It worked great and allowed easy reuse of a bunch of

More expensive than gas, if you power 98% of the grid with it. But if you power 60% of the grid, it's cheaper than gas. Useful distinction imo.

I heavily edited my comment (a sibling to your comment) to tone down the snark. But I agree - this may land in my top 10 most insane hacker news comments that I've ever read.

There was quite a bit of displacement, subjugation and genocide of entire peoples that precipitated any handouts they did receive. It is possible that that influenced outcomes.

I didn't wave off Claude code or LLMs at all here. In fact, I said they're an incredible speedup for certain types of problem. I am a happy paying customer of Claude code. Read the whole comment.

It would write incorrect code and then you'd need to go debug it, and then you would have to come to the same conclusion that you would have come to had you written it in the first place, only the process would have been deeply frustra

One weird trick: try being rich. My wife and I moved to a rural area after covid. You're not magically saving money by doing so. And there is a shit load more work in terms of maintenance. I like it but this is such a strange recommend

Which is funny, given such a large portion of these sites (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit) are all bots and spam. They somehow have anti bot infra that is both incredibly annoying to real users and somewhat ineffective. And I'd e

Amazon's stock price is great, sure. But I don't think their products are particularly inspired. There's a huge disconnect between how good a product is and how much money it prints. On the far end of the spectrum you have pr

I've been struggling with the same thing. It's the same reason I didn't really want to go on the management path because it loses the authoring part. But now it seems to be forced on us. That being said, there are lots of bru

Yes, the AI is trained on a vast quantity of data therefore it is less likely to be manipulated vs a single editor that may have ulterior motives. Therefore it's much harder to manipulate. A corporation which represents many shareholde

fwiw this happens regardless of AI or offshoring or whatever. my old employer was bought out, and the senior staff trickled out the door over the years as the working environment got more frustrating. i heard from a friend who still works t
