Consumers have agency. The best ad placement for a company is to a consumer who wants what they’re selling. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

Why is ownership a goal? Housing is the goal.

People living together out of necessity (roommates) still has the optics of a housing crisis of those people wish they didn’t live together. This is the opposite for couples who want to live together.

How?

Many of them left and turned into startups around that tech, like Temporal.

I wouldn’t go that far… but it can be kinda like Wikipedia, clean and readable.

You’re not even trying to use AI if that’s all you spend. I am not a tokenmaxer and it’s easy to max out my 20$ subscription just hacking on a simple web game. Working in a larger enterprise context it’s impossible for me to use AI daily and not spend hundreds of dollars.

Here’s some real data.

Are you saying no pleb wants to consume? Are you saying no pleb demands more product? Are you saying no pleb wants their polluting employer to continue so they have a job? Are you saying no pleb chooses to lower cost but more polluting options at every turn?

How many excess deaths from cold?

Sometimes the reward is pitifully small. There was a podcast about insider trading and sometimes the insiders will give the information for free or a negligible sum. There’s something in human psychology that facilitates collaboration even in unethical acts.

I like that better

But you gotta admit it’s strange that some mass murders are off limits but not others. Joseph, mao, osama. It’s mostly about preexisting popularity.

How is this even a debate? Before Covid most tests were in person right? Sure some classes had final projects that were take home, but in person tests were very norma. So what’s all the hand wringing about? Just do in person tests and move on?

Yes, that feature was my very first though.

He could be very wrong, or just excessively hyperbolic.

I tried a TON of hiking apps and this is the best free one hands down.

Being able to download maps, tap to set destination, and see elevation all for free makes it top tier.

Of course it’s not a waste to hire Albert Einstein to work in a Swiss patent office for normal wages ;)

Anything like this in iOS?

You should also learn joins and ordering/pagination. But that can be on day 2 :)

Use testcontainers and make sure you have an integration test for every query..

It’s constantly goalpost moving.

“It’s totally useless” to “it hallucinates constantly” to “it’s not revolutionary” to “show me where it’s 100x productivity gains” to “if AI is so good then why isn’t OpenAI one shoting all its software and even cloning all software on the planet?”

Sure, but that’s besides the point.

It’s very subjective, so there’ll be endless debates about this. It’s a speed boost, to some that is amazing to others it’s bleh.

All my examples are private which also probably applies to many other folks here. In my personal projects and friends stealth startups that are greenfield, the boost is 5-10x for coding. For my midsized enterprise employer, we have tracking of over a hundred diverse projects and the average reduction in dev years to completion is about 50%. Not 10x, but not chump change either.

False dichotomy much? The tools can be force multiplying without being “100x productivity boosting,” which I’ve never once heard claimed except from critics.

It could certainly not fund Hawaii’s department of education for a single year. And what would you do the next year after selling it and spending the money?

Ack.

Here’s the podcast if you’re interested. I know the host shares more of your view so it was an interesting discussion though I don’t remember the details. https://www.econtalk.org/mariana-mazzucato-on-the-value-of-e...

AI summary:

Mazzucato argues that: * Governments do far more than correct market failures—they actively create markets. * Public investment has been essential to many major technological breakthroughs. * Governments should be willing to invest in high-risk innovation, much like venture capitalists. * When taxpayers finance risky innovation, the public should sometimes receive a share of the upside rather than only bearing the downside.

There was a really interesting episode of EconTalk podcast about 6 years ago which had a guest (woman, if it helps find it) arguing that the US gov should invest in and have ownership of a lot more startups, similar to how they funded Tesla.

Unfortunately in multi-cultural workplaces language is driven to common denominators for efficiency.

More approachable framing: tribalism (generally accepted human tendency) is inherently anti-diversity.
