> Imagine a future where a handful of people can conduct scientific research and engineering tasks much more rapidly, and with higher quality, than massive teams of scientists and …

I just deleted my aws account. I don't need these vibes in my life.

I use jj vcs and now most of my time is spent reading the code, so I use diffview.nvim ( https://github.com/sindrets/diffview.nvim ) with some customizations for jj to read diffs. …

As much as I like Claude Code, Boris has done a lot of harm by encouraging software engineering practices that lead to slopware. We have two camps of people at work, the first camp…

You can test rigorously without token incinerators.

Let's boil the ocean for a 2 line fix and call it frontier intelligence.

This is so misguided, I don't even know where to begin. If you think that throwing more tokens at a problem with your agents cos-playing whatever fiction you cook up is the road to…

But Boris declared coding is solved. How is this possible? Can’t they prompt Mythos to give them better uptime?

> Most people either write too much or too little. Here’s what works. > Two folders, not one Why post AI slop here?

I think this word salad doesn’t have enough buzzwords. Throw in a few more acronyms too.

Stop giving your money at Meta, it’s a simple solution and an ethical one.

What has strongdm actually built? Are their users finding value from their supposed productivity gains? If their focus is to only show their productivity/ai system but not having b…

Ironic that a steak is one of the three things showing up on the landing page. Is that the beef lobby money coming in? I enjoy an occasional steak but if the goal is to improve die…

Ah yes, shades of Siddhartha. I almost forgot about the part where he worked for a megacorp that was ripping society’s social fabric apart and wanted to do something else for a whi…

> we’re waiting on people Right on. I have a heat pump water heater and a heat pump heating system in my HVAC. Getting those installed felt like swimming upstream. Most contractors…

This feels like it was written by an LLM.

Makes sense. I think they're lucky to be around you. Since you're hanging out on HN, I'd imagine you care about tech, doing things well and have a natural curiosity. Back when I st…

That's an interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing. If you had free rein of an engineering school in a university system, how would you re-design curriculum to address your conc…

I don’t understand, can you elaborate? I’m trying to understand your perspective. New college grads I generally meet and work with are bright, hard working, curious and have a deep…

Why do you think they don’t teach critical thinking?

Not an option with modern UX. It's yes or maybe later.

> I don't think there is a single founder/CEO in the 21st century that is performing better than Zuckerberg. Depends on your definition of 'performance'. Does it include ethics?

I think he’ll be looked back as one hit wonder, lacking any ethics to grow his company. He pumped a whole bunch of money in VR that didn’t seem to go anywhere and now AI seems like…

Great idea, but the feature is poorly implemented. Cannot select multiple cells/rows. I have no idea how to extend past 20 or so rows. I regret having started transferring one of m…

> Good read; too long to sway public opinion though. Maybe they should have done a TikTok or a YT short? Would that be the right length?
