That's fantasy. Germany tried very hard to civilize russia through trade over few past decades. Everybody tried. Turned out russia is just to stupid for any kind of advancement. Did not learn a thing. Everybody else did though.

It's way better to buy re-labelled, because russia earns less from that when intermediaries take their cut, because it's buyers market.

Also, each workplace is a miniature planned economy with all of its advantages and drawbacks. The main strength of free market system is that companies can die without completely destroying people and resources they controlled. Which wasn&#

The only two instances where I didn't manage to achieve satisfactory outcome with AI were when I overspecced ahead of time. The things I left out of the spec were implemented in the most undesired manner possible. The best mode of work

It's good, because it's just post-processing before display. So it doesn't interfere with the process, which those phrases that seem so offensive to sensibilities of so many people, for whatever reason, might be a part of.

Sure. But that's the result of the fact that the way money is set up, it "likes" if you acquired it earlier rather than later. Let's naively assume that money is a reward for doing a good thing. It might be beneficial to

If you give your money to someone else you are giving them power. And people in power are going to represent you in context of decision making. Regardless of how well they do it.

Compounding interest just skewes the balance so that being voted for earlier is worth more than being voted for later. I'm not saying it's a good system, but it's "aiming" for realtively good things. Just needs a bi

Money is also a voting system. He can decide those things only because people voted for him with their money. The issue is, not everybody has same voting power in this system. But then again people who have more power were voted for previou

This seems way more accurate. Up until early 2026. Though it has bizzare fixation on geopolitics and China which it severely understimated. It's pretty obvious that China is going to outinnovate and outcompute US companies quite soon.

Nah, screw that. I won't be waiting that long. I'll be 61 in 2040. I'd love humanity to take a shot at clinical immortality way sooner.

People became such a fragile snowflakes since AI popped up. Fussy because a programmer didn't produce prose they fancy.

Does it refuse doing security, porn or piracy related work? Because if not, it has immense unique value when compared to frontier competition.

Rewrites in Rust are kinda impressive. This language with its move semantics and close ownership tracking is very different from every other language. To create a rewrite in it, you have to rearchitect the code. There is not as much freedom

He doesn't believe that unit tests are complete waste of time. Just a relative waste of time. He doesn't mind AI agents writing tests. It's just mostly waste of time for humans. Because the value you get for them is not worth

It's curious how so many people get triggered by a smart person saying what he believes to be true. Yes, he is pretty amazing. Yes, he is rarely wrong. No, it doesn't affect you or me in any way because he is not in competition wi
