There isn't any value judgement here. There are not more cooperatives because they don't prioritize growth. Who are you angry at?

There is no secret conspiracy stopping cooperatives from working. They simply do not supply a large portion of the products and services that people want, due to the fact that they are by definition not set up to do so. Who are you angry at

If far superior AI CEOs existed then only one board would need to replace their CEO with AI. The company would then dominate the marketplace because of the far superior decisions being made, and the rest would be forced to follow. If AI CEO

I'm so confused by these complaints. I use Spotify every day, and just type in the music I want to listen to. You click on a song and it plays. How are people getting all wrapped up in whether some podcast shows up on some screen, or w

Seems like the exact opposite. The very example you are replying to is the mechanistic translation of one low level language to another, maybe one of the most boring tasks imaginable.

LLMs excel at tasks with very clear instructions and parameters. Porting from one language to another is something that is one step away from being done by a compiler. Another place that I've used them is for initial scaffolding of Rea

The reality is the fires didn't make it far into the city grid sections of LA proper. This is because these areas have less flammable material, and are more defensible.

Public insurance would provide no benefit. The issue in California is that people have built their houses in dangerous areas and have not taken any measures to reduce fire risk. The state has already set limits to how much insurance costs c

The original meaning of engineer was an idle British aristocrat who liked to tinker with things that went whiz and bang in the garden shed. Just a guy who really liked to mess around with engines.

A developer will spend far more time in the IDE than the version control system so I wouldn't discount it that easily. That being said, there are no network effects for an IDE and Cursor is basically just a VSCode plugin. Maybe Cursor
