But isn't SpaceX money coming mostly from the government anyway? So still your pockets getting emptied, only over two extra hoops which each take their share as well. All this to bring the magic solution called software engineering bec

You maybe didn't notice that all those Obama/Biden critics happen in an imaginary future, the same way all Trump proponents argument with an imaginary past.

I don't really understand this Twitter (or in general social media) censorship argument. If I call someone on the street a fckin idiot I probably get slapped or even shot in certain places, and everybody will say I called for it. And e

I'm afraid building stuff locally will mean significantly more than 20% premium. Not sure if even double is the right price range increase.

I know a scheme here in Switzerland where the company also provides lodging and services and such, for a cost of course, which cost is then deducted from the big salary thus bringing it to much lower and better palatable levels ("bette

Starting a nuclear program today would yield first results in like ten years from now. Nothing that can protect you for a whole decade, so maybe that's why they aren't so motivated to go this risky and long term path.

I'm still puzzled how come people are convinced by Cursor, while my experience was meh at best. Can it index your stuff? okay it can. Can it refactor a simple function? No it cannot, it can't even rename a damn Java class. How can

I think this anger with Plaid is unwarranted. Without them, or before them, you had zero API access because the banks (including yours) don't give a rat's ass on your fancy access needs. Now Plaid managed to gather together some k

Many countries don't have this boat anchor named "student loan" at all, so maybe the lesson here is that indenturing your people who actually want to study shouldn't be a must?

I've been through this cycle as well, but I don't think this works the same way. I mean the only way it would work the same is if AI never reaches its promises, and I don't mean AGI, but never reaches the level of the thinkin

Which means, the way others argument here (and are downvoted for it) the majority of the country is not particularly bothered by what is going on. No, they didn't approve of this, but also didn't disapprove. So why keeping them as

It all started with Alan Turing, and let's not forget to put some blame on Charles Babbage and even Ada Lovelace who started it all. After all, anything deflecting blame from the beloved tech leader and his beloved leader is more than

But the question is, are we there yet? I have yet to hear of an AI bot who can eat up a requirement and add said new form in the right place, or fiddle with a layout. Do you know any? So all those big promises you read right now are outri

This sounds a bit like today's default chatgpt verbosity - you usually get an entire printout of context and side thoughts and blah, with the answer you're looking for buried somewhere in there.

Some high speed trains (in Spain, for one) require security checks to board as well. But they're way less intrusive or time consuming than flight checks.
