I’ve seen the opposite. The best devs are aggressively embracing agents - producing more, and at higher quality.

Huge amount of skepticism on HN right now, but the models are increasingly capable, and there are real, significant risks.

The approach proposed by Amodei looks sensible - voluntary checks at frontier labs, and appropriate regulation to follow. Yes, the devil's in the details, but it feels like the right approach overall.

I think it’s fairly well established that Trump treats trade as a zero sum, single play, game.

China is the long term winner here.

I suspect there will be a leadership challenge to the prime minister before this, and the legislation will be dropped.

I love panoramic sunroofs.

Natural light makes the driving (and passenger) experience much more pleasant for me.

I’m not sure it’s accurate to say Canada ditched the relationship, given that the US imposed massive tariffs and threatened to invade Canada.

I did this for a few years and would recommend 1 (smallish) suitcase + 1 backpack.

As mentioned in the article, it’s better (financially and socially) to stay in locations for a medium length of time. If you do this, then the overhead of a single suitcase is very minimal, and you get far more flexibility with clothing - particularly if you’re staying in colder areas. E.g. NYC in winter.

Space X, Deel, Remote to name a few.

The value will be in the utility of the stablecoins. These will be high trust, 1-1 backed, and fully audited. i.e. Much more than just a db with multiple hosts.

If you want to be censorship resistant, stick to decentralized blockchains (ethereum + bitcoin). There's still value in Tempo vs traditional payment rails - (much) lower fees, faster + 24/7 transactions.

> I don't see anyone in the real world using blockchains at all.

Many companies are using stablecoins for cross border transactions, and for payouts in countries with volatile currencies. There's clear value for these use-cases.

Not to mention lower fees and 24/7 availability.

This wasn't a result of regulator scrutiny. The issue was that MS (owner of Copilot) was demanding access to the IP (due to their existing agreement with OpenAI), and OpenAI was resisting. In addition, Claude blocked access to Windsurf, which also damaged them as an acquisition target.

Nothing to do with regulators.

Oban has been around for many years, and is used widely in the Elixir ecosystem. I’m sure the creators of Solid Queue were heavily inspired by it.

I think this is to do with the ‘assisted’ component. I.e. When people need help from others to die.

If the law didn’t cover this, then people who provided assistance would be open to criminal prosecution.

They mentioned an announcement about a new frontier model coming soon. Presumably this will be exclusive to paid users.

Not sure about elsewhere, but it’s a common expression in the UK.

> Intel (also AMD?) are "stagnated"

Intel are catching up and will likely launch their 20A node before TSMC 2nm. Intel's 20A also includes gate all around and backside power delivery, so I don't think it's accurate to say Intel are 'stagnated' any more.

I don't understand how alternative research makes you a crackpot. If she was presenting her theories as fact without evidence then perhaps, but I haven't seen her doing that.

Overall, she comes across as a very clear communicator with criticisms (rightly or wrongly) of some current research.

GDPR relates to personal data and it doesn’t forbid sending any network packets to the USA.

This is something I’ve pondered, and for what it’s worth, I don’t think any of the responses so far clearly explain the flaw in your rationale.

That’s not to say Cantor was wrong - much more likely we’re missing something, however I think the issue is more subtle than people realise.

Probably not. If people you speak with commit time/reputation/money then it’s a much stronger signal.

For non-Londoners, it’s worth pointing out that £8 for a pint is exceptionally high. In most smart pubs in central london the price for a regular pint is approx £5-£6.50. And you can get pints for approx £3 in centrally located Wetherspoons (a common pub chain).

I think there's good evidence here: Teslas consistently have high review scores, and are selling in huge numbers. E.g. The Model Y was the top selling car in the world for Q1 this year.

Edit. The 'top selling car' figure is contested (see below) and depends on how you define single model. However multiple news sites (including reuters/The Verge etc) have reported this story without retraction. We also have more recent stories saying the Model Y is the highest selling car in Europe for H1. Whatever way you look at it, these cars are selling very well.

I think his work at Tesla displays product genius. The cars are best in class, have transformed car UX, and are selling like hot cakes.

I'm not sure I follow your public transport argument. Both Tokyo and London have had many decades of significant government investment and support into their transport infrastructure. E.g. The billions from the taxpayer for the recent Elizabeth Line in London. Neither system would exist without very large gov support.

Yep, it's possible, but hard in practice for lots of places.

London has historical parks/commons which are fantastic, but for cities which don't have many large parks, it's hard to retrofit them.

I don't hate right-wing bloggers, in fact I follow many and respect their opinions. However I think the debate around housing often lacks nuance, and a pure free market approach feels like it comes more from dogmatism than practical policy making.

It's possible that the bloggers I follow fit in my filter bubble, which is based around the California/London regions so there's likely selection bias.

There's a certain group think among right wing bloggers that the answer to the housing crisis is to completely liberalise zoning/planning rules, however all these people (as far as I can tell), choose to live in areas with highly regulated planning restrictions.

I am sympathetic to making it easier to build, but we have to be honest about the trade-offs that have been made in some of these hyper dense asian cities. Namely, ugly buildings, and lack of green space.

It's also worth noting that these places rely on significant, long-term, investment in public transport infrastructure of the kind that they don't make in the US. This is something that's often missing from the debate.

Edit, I think people are misunderstanding my comment a bit. Personally, I'm favour of making it easier to build housing - I don't own property because it's too expensive and would love it to be cheaper.

I'm merely saying that I've seen a strand of thought amongst the right/wing VC crowd who believe in very aggressive liberalisation (pretty much build anything anywhere), which I don't think is practical or politically feasible.

Not correct, it's live in many countries (including the UK). The main area it hasn't launched is the EU due to legal concerns.

I built this, kind of a mix of YouTube and mini Minecraft spaces: https://entervspace.com
