I think also that anyone who's spoken Japanese for a while already has internalized that "si" === "shi" because there literally isn't the sound "si" in modern Japanese, as the othe…

So does that imply that there is a Goldilocks zone of prosperity where society are wealthy enough to afford good infrastructure but not too wealthy so as to become unable to build …

Curious, what do you dislike about him? I find many of his takes to be pretty reasonable, though he gets temperamental and snarky sometimes.

I primarily use Cursor, compared against Claude and haven't used Codex before - to me the benefits: - Composer 2.5 is cheap, fast, and very effective; I don't even use other models…

I think it’s been banging it’s head against the wall for many months now lol

I ran into this earlier, the commit history is the one maintainer and Claude pumping out like hundreds of commits 24 hours a day. Aside from the token cost, I’m wondering how this …

What about both? Artists want money, fans want entry, reserve a portion for hardcore fans and the remainder by auction. Artists get to sell their $10k seats to the rich while looki…

Tried that, it just seemed way dumber this way unfortunately. And the zed UI provided 0 visibility whenever it was doing tool calls, and for some reason it kept running sleep 30 ca…

If anything it’s a tool for making people outside of Singapore like/want to do business in Singapore, so if that makes it some twisted kind of utility then I guess anything can be …

Yeah we just use Zod’s branded type and that pretty much handles it. No casts, use a refinement then slap a brand on it.

That's the point, you need to make making money = improving society. If you think that's impossible in the USA, then the USA is doomed and maybe you should look for the door. I am …

Looks much better than when I last tried it! But I couldn't get it to work as well as Cursor for AI development, maybe I just need to get more used to it? - I tried to use the Curs…

Did you read what I said? The whole Japanese system is for profit and the one of the biggest reasons for Japan’s system being so pleasant is that it is done for commercial purposes…

Works in progress also had a great article recently (also discussed on hacker news) about how Japanese railways are private, profit earning real estate development corporations. [1…

One example is that I have a fancy visualization in my app that is rendered in the server via RSC and just some interactive tidbits get sent to the client. If I packaged the whole …

Well, to be honest, the results in Japan and China, where that isn’t the case, have turned out to be much better.

China is giant and sprawling and they are able to do it. That said this reply doesn’t actually address much of what the article talks about, most interestingly how rail companies a…

Hating Palantir without having any idea of what they are is the trendy thing to do. Their leaders are toxic which doesn’t help the case, but the core issue really is just that in t…

I for one am not shedding tears about being able to waste less time with SOC 2 drudgery that doesn’t even make organizations secure.

I broadly agree with this, it really is all about trust. Just, as a company scales it’s hard to make sure that everybody in the team remains trustworthy – it isn’t just about perso…

Lol so instead of paying maintainers who already built the thing you want, we instead charge you to use AI to make countless copies of maintainers’ work and direct the profits back…

Actually it does harm people. High speed traffic is noisy and unpleasant, flows unpredictably, and tears up roads faster.

Japan has them built into My Number Cards too https://www.digital.go.jp/en/policies/mynumber/private-busin...

One time when I was living in Shanghai, I accidentally took the train to the wrong airport and had to take a cab to the other one. The cabbie was driving on the highway right at th…

Yeah, I am American but my wife is Japanese and she found it irritating and inexplicable that my friends and I would interrupt each other while talking. This number probably varies…
