> Agreed, all of the staff/principal engineers I work with are ~99%+ AI generated code, and increasing business value delivered as a result. This is on planet scale infra not CRUD …

Yeah, that's just a problem with review. I tend to keep it going until the stuff its finding is stuff that I look at and think "I can live with that". Usually by that point it's fo…

I think most of this is correct, in spite of potentially being built on a bad assumption. The assumption is that LLMs should be writing the code and human engineers reviewing and v…

No, I'm basing my analysis in history and political science and you are basing yours on your own gut biases. I'm referring to people who are part of an explicitly fascist movement …

Except AT Protocol can't do the very thing that made Facebook the commons: privacy. There's a proposal to add privacy to the protocol (private posts, private groups), but I don't t…

This is "whatabboutism" which is a logical fallacy. Someone doesn't have to talk about the climate impacts of cars every time they talk about the climate impacts of AI. Both have c…

I think the issue is that those stories are rooted very much in the failures of human systems that we see every day. They are us imagining what could go wrong based on what has gon…

None of these are left. You could make an argument that some of them are "classical liberal" or "neoliberal", but that was the center in the US and everywhere else it is center-rig…

No. That sentiment didn't "move toward the center". What happened is that the far-right -- and, lets not use euphemisms like "the far right" here, we're talking about fascists and …

You're getting hung up on the relay distinction (which is fair). But I'm not talking about relay's here. And to be clear, I'm talking about the push back towards protocols and dece…

The National Lawyers Guild released a pretty incredible statement about this trial. They basically were not allowed to mount a defense, in blatant violation of their constitutional…

"Most people" cannot afford $30 /month. And of those who can, most of those cannot afford the time and effort required to run a relay. And I honestly think this is one of the funda…

If the goal is to actually calculate how many words we know, then you should include an "I don't know" option. Sure, some people will choose to guess to inflate their score, but so…

Fair!

On further play, really the only match up where I had any trouble was large vs large. (As a side request, it would be nice to be able to choose your opponent!) With both small and …

That was fun, but the AI and the balance need some work. It's too easy to win as the small boat. You just stay ahead of your opponent and then turn back and strafe periodically. It…

This tracks. In spite of the hype it seems pretty clear the model gains are now in a very strong logarithmic fall off. The curve is flattening and flattening fast. And we're still …

Yes, that is objectively a lot of money. The only people who wouldn't consider that a lot of money are the small percentage of people with incomes high enough to recover that very …

Cheers! Glad to hear you covered them. I'll check out the book when I have some reading bandwidth. I'm working on applying the lessons of these companies to tech, basically hoping …

Eric, it's interesting the companies you've picked that "structurally resist gravity" and the ones you've left out. Costco, Patagonia, and Nova Nordisk are all interesting cases. B…

> You've declared the future, which doesn't leave much room for a conversation. So, cheers! I just flipped your own rhetorical devices back on you. If you don't think they left muc…

The problem is that people keep saying this, but the code keeps being bad. Every time I commit myself to trying to build something with AI, I end up wasting a ton of time and backi…

In a two party world where one of those parties has been captured by a fascist movement, there is no "political neutrality". You're either pro-fascist or anti-fascist. And if you c…

Github's two biggest selling points were its feature set (Pull Requests, Actions) and its reliability. With the latter no longer a thing, and with so many other people building on …

To be determined. It's not a problem we have yet, since we're going to ease into the cooperative governance. Right now it's an LLC. If we can hit basic financial stability, then we…
