    To be clear, this will also happen in the USA. The destruction of privacy is perhaps the only issue with full throated support across the political spectrum.

    Based on their actions, virtually all successful high level executives in tech only care about money and they don't care about making good products, etc.

    I agree. The sheer amount of flexibility it provides makes it both hard to use/read and also not particularly safe/sound. No other type system in existence allows you to be as inco…

    The issue with TS is that it's not really a type system, it's mostly just comments with a linter bolted on. It tries, but it's fundamentally broken in too many ways. Here's just on…

    This comment seems to presuppose that the "evil capitalists" are infallible. People can be bad at their jobs and/or can act irrationally.

    Bills are not hard to read because they are complex, but because they are poorly written. They generally contain lots of comma-separated lists in sentences, as well as nested condi…

    I wasn't really interested in asking Claude myself, because I wasn't really able to verify the claims being made so it's just noise. I'd hoped that the person who had written the c…

    I'm seeing plenty of internal work where I ask someone about their code, they ask Claude, and reply with "Claude says...". That's substantively different than going from assembly t…

    Really? Genuine question - I'd like to move there. Keep in mind "year round perfect weather" does include summers that aren't preposterously hot. I've found that everywhere else, c…

    This is almost a willful misinterpretation of what I said. I didn't say it should be regulated or illegal. I just expressed a thought that perhaps we shouldn't reorient everything …

    I'm not sure that making the computers easier to use for "most people" has had a net positive effect on society. If an ability requires effort and discipline to attain, perhaps few…

    The clear intent is to stop allowing regular people to be able to compute...anything. Instead, you'll be given a screen that only connects to $LLM_SERVER and the only interface wil…

    I'm not saying zero actual people care, I'm saying that not enough people care to actually differentiate. Is Windows getting better now that you switched? Then it doesn't matter yo…
