Because, under usual circumstances, self-interested corporations compete against each other to get as close to what people are willing to pay for energy as possible.

This is possibly the first time in human history this opinion has been stated.

If that strikes you as vague, I strongly recommend you to read at least an LLM summary of "The Use of Knowledge in Society".

Again, as I said, "aggregating public and private information through market mechanisms".

That's true for now. A part of me hopes that one day prediction markets will have the same set of technical constraints, norms and laws that make the stock market mostly work. Let's wait and see.

At the moment being, Polymarket has an enormous reputational incentive against behaving like a predatory gambling company. People rely on it as a kind of decentralized alternative to New York Times. Distorting this effect would be very shor

I explicitly accounted for this incentive with my first three words.

Weren't Elixir devs consistently ranked to be some of the most well-paid ones year by year? Sounds like you're underselling yourself.

With proper constraints, there is a major positive externality in aggregating public and private information through market mechanisms. Robin Hanson wrote about this subject extensively. Dismissing it outright as a zero-sum game is a bit na

If I were in the author's shoes, I would have tried first to fork the other Go implementation of this JSON library, then use AI to pull it up to the modern standard and make it pass all his tests. Still, good job on him - this is what

Locking users behind proprietary data formats is _literally_ the sole point of Microsoft Office.

Oil market doesn't have an equivalent of open-source LLMs, self-hosting and cloud providers.

>No way something that compiles as slowly as Swift dethrones Python. This must have pushed Chris Lattner towards making Mojo both interpreted and compiled at the same time.

What an interesting display of a principal-agent problem.

That's kind of my experience dabbling into Linux as well. You're effectively turning your laptop into a fancy tablet, which is okay only if you're not doing some professional work in specific niches that are mostly seamless w

I am pretty sure that DoorDash employs quite a few of people for their tasks at hand.

by vovavili 7mo ago
Neither of these two things are something that DoorDash as a company can realistically do anything about.

Why would the article mention Qt? Qt is native for a subset of Linux distributions, not Windows.

It's more of a cheap gotcha than a valid test. If we take somebody like me, I learned to code in IDEA/PyCharm, these days mostly code with either Zed or OpenCode, and occasionally drop into nano and Positron. I wouldn't be ab

Yeah, that's what I did. Back before I started ADHD treatment I was averaging about 12-14 cups of coffee a day, and that's before chocolate. That was the only thing that ever calmed me down. My heart pain eventually got so bad tha

I was more comfortable living in Paris than living in a Dutch city because I was able to live in a banlieue. Biking here is more developed, and that's a plus. But having my job, my living space, my friends and my favorite weekend activ

Interesting how a person who wrote something as thoughtful as The Techno-Optimist Manifesto could hold views like these at the same time. Whether you agree with the manifesto or not, Andreessen has achieved a rare level of insight that can

I am surprised to learn that we live in times where people can write fictional stories this good with the help of AI, this is the first one to me. The future of fiction and story-telling looks very promising.

This makes more sense. I still wonder if the author isn't just effectively recreating Apache Iceberg manually here.

by vovavili 7mo ago
Replacing an 11.6GB Parquet file every 5 minutes strikes me as a bit wasteful. I would probably use Apache Iceberg here.

I definitively noticed a major uptick in both my well-being and an ability to hold a nuanced opinion on the world when I have stopped using reddit. The medium is the message.
