this is how i took it as well. he’s creating a false equivalency between AI and immigrants, and attempting to justify it with “diversity of perspectives” and trying to tell you that to remain intellectually consistent you must embrace or re

agreed. i’m no aws apologist but if you’re going to try to monetize open source and then complain when someone else does it more efficiently/effectively, it really feels disingenuous. “we were going to do that, but they got there first

the pricing “API” is also a joke so it’s not like they have tried pushing people to apis and away from the console. i just use vantage ( https://instances.vantage.sh/ ) now. their api is functional and reasonable.

zero _immediate_ results. hate is a powerful motivator and hard to overcome, and the political machinations also don’t really allow for immediate feedback. we will see what happens this midterm cycle. polls show repudiation of the current a

i think "SELECT * FROM my_df" is a convenience from the python module and how tightly integrated it is, but i can’t get this to replicate using the cli or dbeaver or datagrip. and yes, being able to layer analytical sql on top of

whether or not you agree with the author's conclusions, most of his rationale behind them is spot on. yeah GC is majestic and amazing from the bottom up, and if you find the hidden gems within the park then you are golden. but the aver

i think we need to encode (or refine) what we mean by “vibe code.” my original impression was that it was used to describe the process whereby someone with an idea but lacking development/engineering skills leveraged llm via an agent t

negligence (especially via ignorance) is a thing. a hobbyist wanting to celebrate their first batch with their buddies can poison them with some smeared hearts. but i get what you’re saying.

HyperCard was a revelation to me in high school. it piqued such an interest in technology for me that i fully pivoted from exploring civil engineering to computer sciences.

one of the things that i noticed in a recent trip to austin is that the waymo vehicles were far more assertive and quick than the human drivers so maybe that has been addressed.

this still undersells the developers' intelligence and presses the metaphor a bit too far. if the implication is that the developers are unaware of (or do not have access to) infrastructure capabilities, that's seems like a proced
