I know many software engineers with similar assets, most done have 5 children but they don’t want them either.

The cost of energy varies widely based on regional factors, geography, existing energy portfolio makeup, etc. Additionally cost is not just the unit price but the price overtime to support a specific SLA. Texas has very cheap gas; it’s also

It’s very hard. But a more direct lever than divestment. Utilities operate in very regulated environments. Changing regulation is the lever that matters. Money can buy influence such as media and access to influence culture and politics. Th

Just depends on commitment, time, and scope. Personally I also use the 20$ plans. But people spend 200$ for a gym membership. So shrug.

They certainly have an enterprise plan?

On this planet? They’re not saying they regret doing it, or that it was a mistake. They’re just saying they’ve gained experience and have leveraged the tools to an extent their usage can be optimized. Pretty standard business or life iterat

Capitalism is an economic system; free enterprise is just a principle or philosophy, which is often used in capitalism. Capitalism is about who owns productive assets (vs socialism); free enterprise is about who directs production and pric

Who is they? Did the poll define it like that or are you projecting into the minds of the populace?

It certainly helps as a research assistant for design work. But it can’t do it for you.

Thought-provoking comment thanks. I love the point about other cultural movements. But honestly, I would dispute the starting quote here; who has any evidence that most intellectuals are nerds? I might more easily accept that most nerds gre

AI summary: > Nerd culture used to be a stepping stone for many curious people—they might start with science fiction, fantasy, or comics, then branch into philosophy, literature, history, and art. Now that nerd culture has become mainstr

A lot of this is just talking past each other. AI being good enough to write 99% of your code but then you still complain about it sucking. Glass half full vs half empty.

Same, at first, I thought it would be something like Glean for enterprise information joining to follow feature delivery or something and then I saw terminal and I gave up.

It’s also always been private companies doing the building no? Just funding and ownership could be public.

The US spend like 66% of our federal budget on these things. Hard to imagine significantly increasing it and “hardly noticing”. People notice higher taxes in California; people notice higher taxes in Europe.

Agree, though there’s something to be said about many engineers dragging their feet hard on AI, and now very few are. Some of that is forcing them to try and learn how to use it.
