I guess, on the long economic chain, somebody has to get the dollars in the first place. So they have to sell to US something, maybe not at the best price. In the world economy this acts as a constant pressure to sell to US. Not a problem if the world economy shrinks. If it expands, somebody, somehow need to get the extra dollars from US.

exactly what I said

ai says [^] is not portable; I did not test it. Too bad, I'll stick to [\s\S].

Not sure if adding it would be the best. Maybe a different project that reuses parts of this one, build specifically for that purpose.

I had a good laugh, I can't sing. Stuck on Get ready. Was there something that was supposed to happen after that? Anyway, play/pause button is too high up, I was looking for it at the bottom of the screen. I like the UI.

Can it be used to watch series? I mean, does it track what was already played? I've read the description but it seems that this is a totally different beast.

I switched back to Sonnet. It replies faster so I work faster. Also cheaper. But I really like the speed. I have to be more specific with what I want. Also I stop it more often than Opus. These new models will be awesome, but they need to increase the speed.

they have a graph with cost comparison between the models. This model is just a little over the other models as cost. The graph is logarithmic :)

I noticed too, that whatever they offer in the chat, for free, is smarter, as in no more bs. I use claude code and I want to try codex too but I don't need two subscriptions. I did try codex for some planning and it was really good. Thanks for giving me an insight into how it generates code.

you forgot to sign it with Donald J Trump

maybe the moat is that we slowly start to forget how to code by hand and then you -need- the AI tool.

They are not using design. They vibe code the feature.

Unforseen side effect: I used AI to write so much code that now I struggle to have a good mental map of it, so I became lazy without having an intention to do so. Fun times!

Also when you finally make it better, the others make theirs even better and you are still behind.

Cost

In reality things are much more mundane. You build a custom blog framework, it can be used for good or bad. You build a better app framework, it can be used for good or bad. There's nothing you can build that will not be used by bad people. Canned food and radar came from war. Depending on which side you were, it was used to do good or to do bad. Technology is just that, technology. People are still under the marketing spell of US companies that invited engineers to "change the world". People assumed in a good way. In reality you just change the world, as the other people see fit.

hard disagree. No matter what gets built, it will be used for bad things if the society is not properly constructed. We need to fix our government and then you can build anything you want. I don't like putting the blame on the builders, building is already difficult as it is. Also you can't built something in isolation, word will get out anyway. That's why this speech is either naive or he just wanted to tick a todo list: say something about AI.

My understanding was that they did that to curb the demand somehow. Normally you would just buy more compute but that is not an option they have.

The problem with solar roofs is that it combines a changing technology, PV solar, to something that does not change, roofs. So now every time the new technology advances you need to pay for the new PV cells and the same roof tiles again. Solar roof will work once the PV tech settles down. From 20% eficiency to 100% it's a long way to go.

done the same and I received email from corporate that I'm not allowed to do that :) But it's been great while using it. The only downside was the long wait time for each response.

Very human

There is not waterproofing, on any phone. Yes, when you buy it, no after 3 years when the glue that waterproofs no longer sticks due to ageing.

you are holding it wrong. For real this time.

the moat is the tool itself. You understand this after you start using it.

is this billionaires just signaling they are with the poor while in fact just gathering as much resource as they can, from the poor?

Paywal. Are you just musk fanboys?

Lobby from the other people selling energy: the not green type. They have the money, the lawyers, the ads, everything. Balcony solar power is only allowed now due to energy shortage.

As a personal challenge, you should refrain from using the word "debunked" for a full year.

My understanding is that when buying a car you are dealing with an oligopoly. You might think that you have a lot of options, but they all come from the same source. Furthermore, big money control not only car production, but oil too. If they allow the ceo of a car company to come with such a car, they loose billions in the oil industry. So they have no incentive to do that.

New options do appear on the market like the new toyota prius with solar panel, but if you look at it you will see that they didn't even try to maximize the solar panel size. Still it gets 2 km extra range in bad conditions. Triple that and you have 6 km, in real conditions. If you use your car every other day, you will never charge it, ever. If you get average or above sun, you can drive it daily and not charge it ever. A big problem if you sell oil.

The problem with green energy is that it is very democratic and hard to control. Nobody with big money is interested in that.

To understand who controls your life, see all the draconian measures taken against electric scooters: cheap, not poluting, democratic, don't need a lot of space and so on. Everyone with money said: we can't allow that. Write defamatory articles in the media they control, pass laws against it and so on.

Drill baby drill!
