This reads like a critique of 2023 tooling published in 2026. Their Amdahl-style arithmetic (speed up a 14% slice, cap your gains at 14%) holds only if "AI" means autocomplete. Cur…

Wolfram is obviously a genius but, like a lot of geniuses, so ahead of his time that he'll be recognized, maybe, decades after his own death.

This seems like it could accelerate the transition to sub-1nm nodes (previously projected to mid 2030s), maybe by the end of this decade.

That must do wonders for antibiotic resistance.

Experts know that copy/pasting and/or reimplementing code is not an issue in practice regardless of how often it comes up as an anti-pattern in freshman CS courses. The (amalgamate…

I've never seen a C program use hundreds of dependencies. This is typical in Rust (and Node). I know a few high assurance teams that dropped Rust for this very reason.

Would be a lot better from every possible angle (immersion, depth, replayability) if it was sandbox multiplayer. Otherwise, I'd rather play TIS-100.

The level of delusional wishful thinking here defies belief. Seattle and all other US "left" strongholds are decomposing and falling apart, with parts of these cities worse off tha…

As has happened in nearly every European state with wealth taxes. But the elephant in the room is that these policies give the same ineffective, corrupt and entirely worthless poli…

This level of naivety is characteristic of certain SV types where wishful thinking is the order of the day. We're already living through the disastrous effects of the "social media…

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how he got Internet to access qbittorrent on a private IP, but then I read this: "you see, at some point in time the password was bypa…

They never made good notebooks. Compared to German and Japanese notebooks that even cost less, moleskine is terrible.

If you're a power user, the sooner you learn Emacs the better as the synergies with any Lisp language (particularly Common Lisp) are simply too strong to be ignored and there is no…

Dwarkesh is your run-of-the-mill vapid influencer idiot. Fridman on the other hand, when in the presence of greatness, knows to STFU and listen.

Very smart people on discord sounds like an oxymoron: why would anyone very smart contribute to the siloization of knowledge and support grow a corporate entity possessing highly q…

Assuming he shows up, he'll still probably be trying to defend the indefensible.. Disabling Nagle's algorithm should be done as a matter of principle, there's simply no modern netw…
