okay dude, or maybe you're out of the loop

The reality is somewhere in the middle. Features are shipping 2x to 5x faster at a lot of organizations, with solid code still being produced and reviewed.

Anyone trying to suggest that AI hasn't sped up quality code production is just insisting on keeping their head in the sand, IMO.

I think it's free for about 2 useful requests and then you have to upgrade or wait?

exactly

So you love having to accept cookies. This is what the EU did to us. Unforgivable.

Well we're certainly losing in terms of public sentiment. There's a real anti-technology mindset that has taken hold. Basically the equivalent of people protesting the electrification of the country early last century.

Chinese culture is quick to embrace the benefits.

Get out of your bubble, my god.

Continuous 5x solar power (relative to on earth), no earthbound construction red tape or protestors, and yeah it can only possibly pencil out with Starship launching routinely. No other rocket system could even come close to making it work.

Okay well you’re clearly not understanding the basic concept of the orbital architecture.

Reading the comments here again surprises me how in an anti-Elon bubble most folks are. They are renting out spare Colossus 1 capacity. Colossus 2 is still coming online. Orbital data centers are really the plan in the next few years. XAi is still behind, but not a disaster considering how late they entered (and Elon’s unfortunate fixation on anime characters).

SpaceX is extremely uniquely positioned to crush the rest of the world combined in order to orbital data centers.

It’s weird to not take this seriously. It’s obvious it’s serious and they’re pursuing it.

You’re clueless.

I don’t know, I’m driving a rental 2026 RAV4 coming from Tesla, and it all just feels so meh. The physical buttons are not less confusing. Apple CarPlay is just shit.

Solid, soulless vehicle though.

Isn’t Elizabeth Warren the one who famously killed the merger a couple years ago that would have saved the company?

Warren and Sanders are just reflexively against big businesses.

This is just starting to feel like desperation, making this claim that SOC LLMs are random token generators with absolutely no possibility of anything above that. Keep shouting into the wind though.

Pesticides... messing up everything from butterflies to human colon cells at the moment.

But it's now mainstream thought on the left in America.

BBC was interviewing Iranians 2 days ago in Tehran and the majority said they support the war.

Venezuelans are having political gatherings for the first time in a decade.

Quite jarring to see how many people think the Chinese authoritarian regime, and the tech that it allows to be created in that country, are going to be "safer" or whatever than US tech.

It's trendy to say the US govt is now authorization, but that's just pure naïve groupthink.

Chinese citizens will go to jail if they are too critical of their own government. How hard is it for you to wrap your head around those implications?

Yeah I don't get it.

huh? I know git commands. it's just a dead skill with LLMs. SQL too.

That one. They asked if the murder of the United CEO was justified because he committed "social murder".

Piker is the left equivalent of Charlie Kirk - saying outrageous things for attention, but he has constantly called for violence, while Kirk never did.

Not the direct point of this thread, but this being a nytimes link... I still can't believe the way those reporters giggled their way through the Hasan Piker interview the other day. That is guy is poison, but since he align with their views, it's all just rosy and silly to promote killing people on the other side of the political spectrum.

I do almost no direct git work myself these days. Using claude in Conductor. Working on a team. I'll tell claude what do do in git sometimes, but there doesn't seem to be much need to do it myself anymore, even with complicated rebases, reflogs, etc.

Model Y is still the best selling car in the world (and still the best-selling car in China), but yeah Tesla is *dying.

Misleading title on the post - SpaceX has the OPTION to buy them for $60B later this year, or pay $10B for their work together.

I would never

I don't know what your point is in this context. They won contracts because they were the cheapest (most efficient) provider of the services. And federal contracts are a small part of the their current revenue.

Probably somewhat worried about users shifting to the Grok API if they have to
