I’m 62. Same. The huge productivity jump is exciting. But the real gold is removing all the mechanical pain of typing, navigating files, grinding through library docs and many othe…

Some might say that optimization (how quickly and efficiently people are killed) is THE thing about war. I mean, aren't nukes the ultimate optimization?

Wait, you think these autonomous killer robots will only fight each other? Are you kidding?

Can anyone see how autonomous robot armies are different than nukes in their deterrent potential?

Imagine thinking this would go any different under any Harris or whoever. The war party gets its way.

TL;DR - Sam Altman gets to build the mass surveillance distillers and autonomous killer robots.

The petroyuan faces a big problem, which is lack of trust in the CCP to preserve its value. As mentioned, there’s also mounting dissatisfaction and distrust in the petrodollar, but…

If you’re paying more to get it cheaper, then prima facie, you were not being exploited. You were being offered convenience.

This reinforces my standard explanation of Claude Code: Claude is exactly like a junior engineer who is simultaneously brilliant and retarded. It can do great things but needs clos…

> how soon before we start designing codebases for LLM agents to navigate more cleanly? In my (so far limited) experience, the best thing you can do is establish and consistently f…

Yes. No one knows where the top is in term of demand for software engineering. Software continues to eat the world with no end in sight.

Excellent breakdown. Software engineering will be automated end-to-end around the same time as doctors and lawyers.

This is the exact type of thinking, this type of casual totalitarian social engineering, that led to the invention on the guillotine.

A big part of this is that too many kids are going to college. Less than 2/3 who begin a 4-year degree program will graduate. We’re pushing kids who are not suited to higher educat…

Then what a tragic misuse of societal resources. A simple IQ test would be a better signal to employers than a massively overpriced four year charade.

I saw their Flood tour. Variety Playhouse Atlanta 1990. No band, just the two of them. Plus the metronome, and some prerecorded backup here and there.

“18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated.” Witness how “this type of work” is actually done. You’ve been claiming to “do this type …

You can eat as much meat and tropical fats as it takes to satisfy, and you WILL lose weight and regain metabolic health. The catch is, you gotta ditch most of the carbs.

No one ever knew this until government TV told us! Thanks! Government TV goes MAHA!

Your problems sound rooted in physical and health issues. Try this: - Cut out carbs. Start with a month of full keto, then dial it in. The goal is a constant energy level, no feeli…

Positive rights don’t exist because they are simply claims on other people’s labor.

Awesome. I could have explained why macroeconomic modeling is futile and stupid, but so much more effective to demonstrate it!

We just spent three years telling kids to view the breath of other humans as poison. If this is reactionary, bring it on. I’m starting to see a lot more free ranging kids in my nei…
