Honestly, 60-70% of this feeling is just inflation. If things were still affordable, the doom and gloom would be much less palpable. Inflation will get under control, but we still …

Search, yt, etc.. are the real revenue sources for Google. But they are serving [3.2 quadrillion tokens per month]( https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/sundar-pichai-io-2026/... …

How are the Google numbers calculated? I've seen their net income increasing a lot as they've rolled out Gemini. This suggests that Gemini tokens are actually profitable, or at lea…

If you actually have time to read all your code, understand it, and are willing to be bottlenecked by human understanding, then yes, you are living in a different world. In my worl…

Not my experience, most people are mercenaries, most people make mistakes, most people need their code and architecture reviewed. Obviously working with a person and working with a…

While this isn't a unique perspective, I think it's wild more people don't understand this. What happened is everyone is being "promoted" to staff+ level engineer and they're reali…

A lot of people focus on the whole dynamic of corleone family and their position in American society in the Godfather. But seriously did you see what vito was eating in the restaur…

Not much, just accurately predicted the next 30 years exactly

Even in small groups, being respected and considered valuable is important? I'm not sure what you mean here. I take your point, and I too get triggered when people invoke mate sele…

Victim blaming cancer patients as cope so you can convince yourself "it won't happen to me" is a disgusting trend

Okay, average person uses a special key picked up from the DMV one time that allows them to login to vote.com and cast their vote. This is a totally normal experience and understan…

Google's profits have been going up while 'giving away gemini for free', so I don't think they're 'being irrational', they're unit economics apparently work.

Hmm, whats stopping you from running claude code on a separate machine you can ssh into? I don't understand that point at all, I do that all the time. Using a claude code instance …

I see, so there's actually an additional for loop here, which is `sleep(n); check_all_conversations()`, that is not something claude code does for sure. As far as the 'soul' file, …

what is the memory architecture, doesn't this already exist in claude code?

Can someone explain what value openclaw provides over like claude code? It seems like it's literally just a repackaged claude code (i.e. a for loop around claude) with a model sele…

People succeed in spite of these systems. They have resources, tremendous network advantages, and the people at the very top crust of engineers are indeed quite good at their job.
