Came here to say this. Perhaps it will work this time if it tries not to scale wildly, take investor money, and just do one thing well with a smaller group? But this kind of site has been around.

Sure why not. The points don’t matter and the game is made up at this point.

You're wrong. People have inherent value whether they "create value" or not. UBI is not about rewarding people for some economic contribution but rather provides everyone with a reasonable amount of money so they can survive

What’s wrong with e-books? Highlighting is awesome. Accessible and searchable! I have a number of paper books myself but it seems odd to need to have them all on a shelf outside of the need to show your identity to folks that walk into the

Yes. You need to stand up as a citizen to have the impact (they cross check). Publication is probably a bit much as a default and chills speech a bit, but it’s also important that the federal register can remain public with all public comme

Not sure why this didn't occur to me earlier. It's always been the play, and it's probably ALSO why many Tesla investors went along with this IPO. It gets him control of Tesla again without paying him all those shares and wit

Amazing! Even though they’re “just prompts” that knowledge is still important and valuable. Very cool. Unfortunately I’m just a guitar newb trying to figure out what pickups are doing things to my tone so you probably don’t want me in there

The consumers were paying for tokens with their data. If you pay for the tokens yourself the expectation is that your data doesn’t get trained on or used.

This is really cool! Seems like the key to the prompt it seems is the knowledge of how these tones were created in the first place (your system prompts for the 80s) which requires some actual tone knowledge and leaves all the fiddly bits to

Biggest win for me was building a new service to manage Cub and Boy Scout units. Modern calendars and RSVPs via link, Roster management, LLM integration via MCP to manage all of it and send communications, and also includes a sync of all ad

What about a few hundred billion in salary and benefits reductions due to mass layoffs? Not saying this would be good (qualitatively) or even good business in any sense, but we’ve already seen companies willing to sacrifice headcount to cov

Crepes / pannekoeken are tough because they are almost always a “you know it when you see it” amount of flour and milk to get the batter right.

I have bookmarked this site for future. I love Food Lab and this seems like a natural batty expansion on some of those ideas :)

The article doesn’t make it quite clear but dopamine fracking (such as described) requires both you and the companies to work. The companies are trying to make something you’ll want, and you want it! But if you allow fracking on your “prope

It was because the group made the mistake of inviting the federal appointee currently running NIH. This would probably have been fine if this administration was not comprised of individuals that cannot abide any sort of pushback. The protes

When was the last general strike? And what would it ask for if it happened? I understand you’re a fan of the method and it can be impactful but that’s not a reason to state that protesting does not accomplish anything.

This. 100% this. Data centers drive up our energy costs and are external to the local economy for the most part. Blocking them should be a priority until rates are negotiated with your G&T / major provider (PJM and FERC in Maryland

We do not have a eunuch congress - but we do have a Congress that believes their balls have been removed despite being there the whole time. This is a solvable problem, happily. It does, however, require some will and for folks to remember

How has this not been patched by the company? Hasn't this been in the wild for a long time already?

The only reason this happened was due to taxpayers bailing out financial institutions. This only exacerbated an insane amount of moral hazard already present in the market following previous bailouts. Unfortunately, the US Government contin

A shitshow for whom? I see it as extremely unlikely for the United States of America to not allow individuals to purchase things for whatever money they can pull together. The only answer is to make it unacceptable socially, more costly eco

At what valuation? I’m a user and I like the routing layer and not having to change things up too much, but I’m not sure why a solid business model for this product would require this much money at this kind of valuation unless they’re tryi

I would love for a robot to wipe me after using the toilet - and I have a washlet for this! It’s not about tax bracket. You can still pay your cleaning folks a reasonable wage and be kind to them. You can still treat them like human beings.

Great story. Wish you hadn’t done the bait and switch with the title.
