Trump seems objectively bad at his job by a number of metrics. So it seems reasonable that would be the consensus in most forums.

Can you read dense novels with this? I feel like you'd miss subtleties, but grasp the overall story or simpler books.

Maybe dumber phone for day to day tasks. Then another phone that only has connectivity by sharing WiFi from the first phone.

So it's only a tiny barrier but if you need it, you turn on wifi sharing and take out the "real" phone. Otherwise it stays unconnected.

Elon voted the same way as 51% of naturalized citizens

Doesn't make him right.

I have a certainty that I don't want to make a bet predicated on SpaceX needing to generate revenue from their AI products that is equivalent to several thousand dollars for every human in a middle income and up country.

I'd bet in SpaceX. I'll not bet on musk grafting in a failing AI business for financial shenanigans.

I'm a different guy... But I think he doesn't care and doesn't need to care. His main product is personal branding and hype -- caring about how it works is hardly relevant.

We've given up on the next generation of technology and choose to wallow in sweet hydrocarbons.

This makes me feel like a spend too much time on slides for my rinky dink enterprise software feature projects.

The problem is the stock is not valued based on the space part. It's sky-high valuation is based on absurd projected AI revenues.

Stanford students are criticizing Google for enabling Israel. If Google was providing support for Hamas they could protest that too.

The good faith interpretation is that innovation is spurred by having some guarantees that your innovation isn't immediately ripped off. It allows for investing more into R&D.

I'm not saying the current system achieves that, but it is part of the justification.

Disagree on best for the country.

Global market for oil. If the oil intensity of your economy is high, higher oil prices impacting all goods/services will outweigh increased oilel revenues.

That is the idea behind "mass drivers" on the moon I believe. Maybe that search term helps.

As someone who changed careers as my youngest was born - hard agree.

It is to make a system where people are less incentivized to commit crimes.

That part was intentional

If you have artifacts saved as you develop it can use those when writing docs to capture intent and design decisions.

I don't think "cheating" is the right way to frame it.

A junior has managers pushing them to do more, faster. You review the code but do you really understand it the same as if you struggled through it? Do you ever build the muscle memory of what works and what doesn't?

It is the thought process that builds skills. I've seen some projects trying to be deliberate about learning from the agent as it writes to code - but I'm not sure there is a substitute for struggling and learning by doing.

I'd rather the AI providers bear the cost of the externalities they inflict on the world.

If the cost to users is reasonable with that added burden I'll happily pay it. If it is not viable without passing costs on society, then they should not be in business.

I'd say the people complaining about AI likely see EVs as having some utility. While AI may have some utility, the amount of resources invested seems to make it more of a ponzi scheme waiting to pop.

Because they've been propagandized and don't have the time or inclination to think differently.

trying to manage a confiscatory bureaucracy would have the same issues

It would be a cat and mouse game but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Like how funding the IRS appropriately increases government revenue.

As a "young" coder I am hesitant because I don't have decades of skills to fall back on.

It is even more abstraction, even harder to follow the code I'm "writing" with AI.

Also I have a fear that if/when the AI tide recedes, I'll be the one caught with my pants down since I have been forced to vibe code the majority of my career. As opposed to greybeards who can fall back on their decades of knowledge.

Good luck, I'm naming all my variables openclaw1, openclaw2, etc

They want to say that non-whites are naturally dumber than whites. There will be varying degrees of subtlety but that's what the dog whistlers are on about.

Many, many seems like overstating a rare corner case that can easily be proven.

almost everyone working on SaaS; not in all cases, but the absolute majority work on SaaS means creating artificial scarcity in order to extract value from people.

Maybe this is just my lack of understanding in how most SaaS companies operate... But to me making software that people find valuable and charging them for that is not inherently immoral. Surely that is the majority of cases?

Is that true or just a rumor? All the family medicine people I know would not do that. Only in a case where it is 50/50 bacterial or viral like an ear infection in a young kid.

Because it obviously doesn't have the capability. Similar to how the US has no capability to "win" from the air only.
