Same energy as when airlines make a gate announcement that they’ve got too many bags and they’re offering free baggage check for anyone willing…

The ads in Apple Wallet for their credit card drive me insane. So invasive.

I could see SO being helpful for more niche questions where one guy somewhere knows the answer from experience or he wrote the framework. But then over time, those will be absorbed…

This seems like the most likely answer to me - though we all have our grievances with SO, the culture likely didn’t contribute to its decline as much as simply AI being a better to…

Similar with lifted trucks. Lifts are bad for driveshafts, suspension, tires, etc

[if the article’s analysis is true] cost controls would reduce the supply of ambulances, since the article claims Medicare actually is a loss. You have claimed it isn’t, but you ha…

Ambulance.ai (Shudders)

Some of them are volunteers who do it because it’s about the calling to help their communities, not pay. Some do it because they actually want to be firefighters but it’s helpful t…

He covered that in the article fairly thoroughly. Did you read it? The anecdote illustrates the issue then he dives into the analysis.

Thank you for the original. Given that, the pattern I saw in my head was that Zuck sees a new toy, get excited and thinks it will change everything, invests in it, then admit he’s …

A percentage of our 10x engineers just left. Morale problems can be just enough to make your best people pick up the phone when recruiters call.

Not another one of these. The connected, small community internet still exists. The article comes off as kind of a curmudgeonly old man yelling at clouds. More nostalgia bait… I ho…

En, I think you’re just trying to justify your pre-existing position that this can’t work. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41746-026-02619-0 https://www.nature.com/articles/s44360…

I dunno, I could see it working. I do something similar with reviewing code: I have one agent write the code and another reviews it, then they go back and forth for a bit improving…

Have you ever let the LLMs “discuss” with each other to see if that would give better answers? You might end up with the answer from the most persuasive LLM, but you might also end…

That’s a long way to go for 3d printing… It probably would’ve been cheaper to just buy the gun at a store if you wanted one that bad.

The good news is those skills of getting people to believe in you and your thing are critical to leadership as an EM too. I’m sure we all can think of managers who don’t have those…

I know three really good engineers who have said the same for exactly those reasons. (eg “I don’t want to choose who gets laid off” etc) I totally respect that, and the people I kn…

Absolutely. This is the hardest part of the transition to manager: your engineering skills alone won’t make you a manager. It’s a different role.

The same thing happened in other businesses where it became easier than ever to put out content or product, but harder to break through because of all the saturation.

Come on, get out of here with this “only true programmers can found a real company” Such gatekeeping.
