    100% of the money ends up going to people. It’s not like you get to the end of the chain and trade a fistful of dollars with the ingot of aluminum itself.

    The value of Kagi is hard to overstate. You have to actually use it and try out the features. Some things that I wish were different about Kagi: I wish Kagi Ultimate LLM credits co…

    Unfortunately nothing changed. They wanted generics all along. The Go ecosystem was a delicate, special thing. It was a wholesale rejection of the malignant consultancy takeover of…

    I have no opinion or knowledge of the claims in that link, nor will I research them. The entire thing is obviously claudeslop.

    It’s potentially a gross misallocation of capital. Right now, the 5 and 10 year US treasury rates are 4.2% and 4.47%. The 30 year is 4.99%. A business with a return on invested cap…

    This likely represents increased freedom and faster decision making for Mojang and King. Moving up the org reporting chain lets you do more, because you have fewer people to convin…
