What damage?

One can say that food can be produced elsewhere, but also data centers might be a critical component of future society if we don't solve birth rates. Also, fewer births mean less food required.

Isn't using Arena just simplifying memory management, thereby reducing the amount of bugs as well?

I now imagine a world where CAPSLOCK is used as "select the next input" and TAB as the character.

I'm sure it did, but that app looks like a Win XP-era app (not even Win7). FilePilot is fast, looks good & feels modern (support a command palette, fuzzy search, etc). The only downside is that it runs on the GPU and so running it inside a VM is a bit of a hassle.

Indeed, their argument makes no sense. They would probably complain about any industry building large factories. It seems they don't like progress, and not even the status quo, they would prefer regression.

Which makes me curious about what Marc actually meant. The quote itself raises eyebrows.

EDIT: From checking in with Claude about his talk.

> So the thing he was arguing against was specifically what he sees as a modern therapeutic culture — the expectation that people should examine their motives, feel guilty about their actions, and look backward. He wasn't framing it as a philosophical position so much as a practical one about founder effectiveness.

It's not at all a similar analogy, and you know it. China is a threat. I assume you personally don't care about it, but it is in our interests that it does not dominate the AI industry.

That's not what deterrence means. From google: the action of discouraging an action or event through instilling doubt or fear of the consequences.

It's meant to avoid conflict altogether, say with China and Taiwan.

Perhaps you'd like to know how well interceptor missiles fare today. They are rapidly being made obsolete. Offense is still the best defense.

Why would that be fraud? Is the subsidy something other than giving the people purchasing EVs a "rebate"?

You should check out Michael Levin. Cancerous cells do not grow organ-like structures. Normal cells communicate with other cells as a network to control growth.

Nicely done. Will you be able to render 3D donuts? And even animations, say pick a slice & see it tear apart from the donut.

Isn’t the Memphis city admin mainly composed of blacks?

So this is all python? I bet Chris Lattner probably approached them.

You know, 1.5x for overtime seems great until it is enforced for everybody (like it's done in Quebec) and so it is forbidden by company leadership unless it is deemed a necessity. So for people with more time on their hands than responsabilities, they usually can't (voluntarily) work more in their main job to boost their pay, and so they get side jobs, which are usually not declared.

Mandated 1.5x overtime has consequences.

Another side effect (that I know happens in manufacturing jobs) is that people will deliberately slow their work during the week to work overtime on the weekend. I'd wager this is very common in jobs with frequent overtime opportunities.

Hah, it feels like Microsoft is currently in "Code Red" to implement AI features.

It’s not just redistribution from the very rich. It’s redistribution from every tax payer, and you can bet your tax dollars aren’t used very efficiently.

Unless you agree with the US's current budget (and the staggering debt it entails), you can't say that the government is particularly efficient.

Curious why the upload is so great compared with download speed.

Huh, with AI you can always "review" those mods. They are small enough. Anyway they are distributed via the creator's github repo, so it's already somewhat of a peer reviewed mechanism.

This must have happened within seconds otherwise he must have been breathing almost imperceptibly, right? Otherwise how could his brain still survive?

* C# has way to many features, it feels bloated

Most of the newer features make C# less cumbersome to use. I can't imagine using the language from ten years ago, in fact the first thing I do when working on a legacy app is to set langVersion=latest.

No, he said that he was not involved. He had his own research model to develop, his startup will probably continue his work there but I wonder if he thinks its viable in the short term since he's launching a startup. I thought it was a moonshot.

That's a good point. I think it would be bearable if they actually had a good feedback platform & interact with their users. Feedback Hub is just terrible: slow, featureless & built on top of their buggiest ui platform.

Unfortunately their audience is probably too big.

Luckily this is a capitalist society and usually mistakes in the private market resolve themselves because losing money is not a winning strategy.

It is worse for anybody looking for an appartment. Of course the person already living in one isn't worse off, but that has never been the issue that rent control creates. It disincentivises repairs and new constructions.

Tesla still has two major bets:

- FSD

- Robots

Both are very risky of course.

Ah, I'm glad I'm not missing out by using Visual Studio. It's probably even slower in VS, I'm sure. I've been dual wielding VS for building/running and VSCode/Cursor/claude-code/codex-cli for AI editing, and it's a much better experience. Although if it wasn't so shitty in VS, I would do it all in the same UI.

EDIT: I'm especially pissed at Microsoft for not improving VS's rendering speed. They are all about making its backend services async, spinned out to external processes to be able to use the latest dotnet version, while the main IDE process is stuck in NET 48 seemingly forever, with zero improvements made to rendering performance. Perhaps the Vello Sharp news I'm hearing recently will kick MS into gears (one can hope).

I wouldn't based any policy based on people's opinion IMO. There has to be a cost/benefit study to base your decision on. Anyway kids can be pretty smart. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that this program is beneficial even that early in life.
