Even before AI, there was a serious hiring problem in the United States. Companies seem hell bent on not hiring full time employees at a livable wage. I don't blame the technology,…

And yet all sorts of people are advocating for using Chinese LLMs because they are less expensive. It seems like a very risky move to save a few dollars.

It kind of makes sense because gasoline taxes help fund road projects. Of course, if you live in a state like Pennsylvania, there's not much evidence of real improvements to the po…

It comes from watching Linked In and talking to people in real life. Again, I don't think it's AI eating the jobs. I think it's greed that's eating jobs.

I disagree - at least for the near future. If companies stop outsourcing to poorer countries, they'll be hit now. If so many Americans lose their jobs that nobody has money to buy …

Conventional wisdom always used to be that China would never compete with the US because they were rote learners and we were more creative. I'd say that is no longer the case. Chin…

I've used Kagi for a couple of years now. I decided I didn't want to be the product anymore, and try to pay for the tools I really use.

Fingers crossed that this https://idlewords.com/2026/03/artemis_ii_is_not_safe_to_fly.... doesn't have any effect.

He wasn't really getting rid of stuff though. He was moving it to "cold storage" so the primary storage was clear. When he needed a rarely used thing again, he could get it out of …

Doubtful. Despite your articulate counter-argument, I am unconvinced of your viewpoint.

When I was growing up, I remember some drama because East German and Soviet male athletes were trying to compete as women. If male to female trans athletes were allowed to compete,…

This is interesting. It seems like it may only be applicable to brand new projects though. Could you envision it working for large, existing applications that wouldn't have specs f…

Businesses should definitely support the open source projects that they use. I'm still astounded that professional developers seem so adverse to paying for the tools and libraries …

I'm frankly disappointed that number isn't much higher.

I watched that video the other day and immediately ordered an Instant Pot

Cause what this country needs is to automate away even the gig economy jobs that are out there. Let's keep making a few people rich and screw all the normal people out there.

I don't really need AI in my browser. I do like spaces in Arc, and how it handles cleaning up my tabs. The color coding of the sidebar for the various profiles is the one feature I…

I also hated that they were trying to make it a free tool, which would mean selling user data to make money, and would require growth at all costs. These days, I'm trying to migrat…

I love the Arc Browser, but they discontinued development on that. I honestly have no interest in Dia at this point. AI is already available in any of the tools that I would want i…

One article I read said their home countries refused to accept them https://kagi.com/news#2025-07-16-11

I don't think this is true of all companies. My current company doesn't base bonuses on individual contributions, and even went so far as to reduce the number of "story points" tha…

Not sure if this is an option where you are, but I became a "stringer" for my local newspaper for a while. Writing tightly, under deadline, with an editor reviewing my work helped …
