Left leaning positions: "there should be no Billionaires", "companies are inherently evil", "there should be no borders", "the US is currently a fascist country". Just as bonkers, so now what? Or rather, I think it's just as easy to find incorrect left-leaning elements.

I think this is just a matter of visuals. His videos that are doing well show many beautiful things. Just looking at the thumbnails and the view counts gives that away already.

You can just have a bell icon that displays a little red (1) so the users know that they have a message/notification that they can, but don't have to, read.

As a counterpoint, I have a website that generates a few thousand dollars per month and sometimes I improve bits about it but sometimes I also don't touch it (or its emails or anything) for a year.

There was always lots of "normal" entrepreneurship, where people opened a small shop and sold something. You didn't need to do a 0.1% job to succeed, success was mostly normal-distributed.

Internet businesses by contrast have a power law distribution. Meaning if you perform average you will end up with just $100 per month. The potential upside is infitite though.

The outcome of the average business person is very different between physical and online business.

For me it _can_ be faster to code than to instruct but it takes me significantly less effort to write the prompt than the actual code. So a few hours of concentrates coding leave me completely drained of energy while after a few hours with the agents I still have a lot of mental energy. That's the huge difference for me and I don't want to go back.

By that logic we have to get rid of mail-in voting as well because there could always be a sledgehammer guy standing next to someone in their own home.

What does it exactly mean, digital community infrastructure?

For me it's their speed, yes. I only run 0-3 at a time, and often the problem at hand is very much not complex. For example "Take this component out of the file into its own file, including its styles." The agent may take 5 minutes for that and what do I do in the meantime? I can start another agent for the next task at hand.

Could also be a bug hunt "Sometimes we get an error message about XYZ, please investigate how that might happen." or "Please move setting XY from localstorage to cookies".

Good points.

About adoption I want to add that at some point a whole generation will turn 16/18 (legal driving age) and just not do a driver's license anymore because they will buy an autonomous car anyway. And IMO from that point on adoption will be very fast.

Money can't just "go" somewhere, it needs a reason first, at least for book-keeping. I mean, VCs can get their invested capital back but on top of that, how would that money be transfered? $20B is a lot and for sure the VCs will not just write an invoice of $18B for consulting services.

The devil really is always in the details.

I have a website with hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors running on a single Hetzner machine since >10 years (switched machines inside Hetzner a few times though).

My outage averages around 20 minutes per year, so an uptime of around 99.996%.

I have no idea where you see those "huge outages" coming from.

This has nothing to with the dates being in the future and only with convention and labeling the field correctly.

And in the table example you don't need the "where", because it's obviously in the restaurant's timezone.

I am so glad that so many people in this thread confirm how bad the native date pickers are; i thought I was alone.

Just picking the year is so difficult already on both Android and iOS as well as desktop Chrome, so a custom widget is immediately 100x better.

Yes, in theory it would be best to display the native picker because in theory it has a great UX, but in practice the native browsers' implementations are mostly just really, really bad, for whatever reason.

That's what I really dislike about the linked article - it doesn't even check the native implementations for their quality but just argues as if they are great.

To be honest, I find it a bit hard to understand even from the video. The top part doesn't look like it has any container at all.

Technically yes, but it costs thousands per year for upkeep and again thousands plus 1-2 years of time to shut it down again.

I agree, I don't understand the hate in this thread.

And I think their paid hosting was actually really good, up until they switched their $20/month plan to a whatever-it-may-cost and we-send-you-10-cryptic-emails-about-your-usage-every-month plan. That's when they lost me, not because it got more expensive but because it became intransparent and unpredictable and annoying instead of carefree.

The problem of resource distribution is solved by money already.

If I can't pay for the robots, I am not getting them. And if I buy my robots and you only get a dishwasher then you can afford two nice vacations on top while I don't.

You don't lose anything if I get robots.

I want to disagree about voters mostly following their peers. In my opinion the votes follow the values and from your example, you can predict a person's stance on gender idiology from their stance in immigration simply because both derive from the same underlying value (in this case probably how progressive vs conservative this person is). And generally of course people with the same values flock together.

They are conservative and have a few idiots and extremist people in their ranks yes, but that doesn't make the party as a whole extremist.

I never heard about their women-workspace-denial.

And being against marriage of homosexuals was the majority opinion from the beginning of time until around 10 years ago so you can hardly count that as extremist.

AfD are extreme because of what their positions are

Then show us their extreme positions! Their official party program is actually quite tame.

I read all the praise about Claude Code, tried it for a month and was very disappointed. For me it doesn't work any better than Cursor's sidebar and has worse UX on top. I wonder if I am doing something wrong because it just makes lots of stupid mistakes when coding for me, in two different code bases.

How many people could be replaced by a proper CMS or a Excel sheet right now already? Probably dozens of millions, and yet they are at their desks working away.

It's easy to sit in a café and ponder about how all jobs will be gone soon but in practice people aren't as easily replacable.

You could say that about any time in history. When the steam engine or mechanical loom were invented there were millions of people like you who predicted that mankind will be out of jobs soon and guess what happened? There's still a lot of things to do in this world and there still will be a lot to do (aka "jobs") for a loooong time.

Traditional news media and print media are really strong in Germany (and for example Spain).

They also made laws happen that limit how Google can link to news sites to prevent Google News from stealing readers.

And they tried to make Google pay each time a user clicks a link that leads to a German news site.

Also there are surcharges on printers (around $50 or so per piece), laptops etc because you might copy copyright-protected texts with it.

And the German online news websites know they lose a lot of money to adblockers so of course they want to ban them.

About the profile photo you said it yourself, conformity is important and the photo is part of that.

As a counter point, education in Germany and other European countries is completely free and people still get less and less children.

I would love to see a complete cost comparison with solar.

1.5 MW is nothing to scoff at, so if it costs a bit in maintenance that's okay. But overall costs would be great to know.

The BSW is indeed an interesting mix because they are conservative-liberal-left while usually leftist parties are progressive and authoritarian-leaning instead.

Examples for the BSW's left politics are * higher taxes for the rich * higher taxes for large and international companies * take on new debt to finance stuff * more state-aided social housing.
