Agreed, the tickets to the tournament this year were just outrageously priced. Football is historically a working class sport, but $1,000 to watch a team like DR Congo in the group stage is next level criminality. And it's only going t

50 of the 55 member UEFA states took the floor to express their outrage at FIFA, this is not a matter of UEFA leadership being out of touch. The vast majority of the confederation is ready to walk.

The most bulletproof way to get a bunch of people on the internet to read your stuff is to tell them they're all wrong, never fails.

Accumulation of wealth and power becomes an addiction unto itself if left unchecked. At some point, we all have to look in the mirror and ask ourselves if we have enough and start to place importance in other parts of our lives. But many of

The OpenAI/Huggingface scenario proves the necessity of open models. Huggingface, in their postmortem, explained how they quickly realized that the threat was an advanced AI and proceeded to use frontier models to analyze the suspect t

There are all kinds of people out there generating meaningful content on their own terms that will never get picked up by the algorithm. I hate the content mills as much as anyone else, but the fact is that they exist because internet econo

I think it's a function of growth at all costs (or to put more bluntly, capitalism). TVs need to continuously improve to keep selling, as do video game systems, etc. And graphics are the easiest benchmark to advertise progress, but als

I agree, but how does one begin to enforce a ban like this? Bait-and-switch has always existed in real estate, which is all the more reason to do full due-diligence and inspect the property thoroughly and not just put in an offer sight unse

Shoutout to Patrick. I had the opportunity to see him speak at a conference early in my career and read his salary negotiation essay. Taking the 30 minutes to read that piece has easily netted me an extra 6 figures of income over the course

I understand the anger and I read the article, which mentions that. The issue isn't the rule, it's that a head of state (and not just a head of state, a head of the largest host state) allegedly called FIFA and asked them to inte

There's always going to be a gray area when it comes to contact like Balogun's against Bosnia. Refereeing from one tournament to another isn't the same, the World Cup especially has this issue because the refs all come from d

International football has to be one of the most corrupt communities in sports, which is saying something. Between bribing WC officials to sway votes on World Cup locations and awarding the tournament to a country that saw 6,500 deaths of w

Agreed, these types of posts often feel like they're missing the forest for the trees. Sure, migrate away from Claude and maybe that will provide some runway, but all of these companies are built on the same economic fundamentals that

I don't think it's possible either. DHH pointed out in the most recent episode of Rework that AI removes a lot of the barriers to shipping code, therefore making it possible to build in lots of different directions in ways that wa

The thread I responded to is about no longer needing to read code at all, not AI-assisted code-review. I definitely use AI-assisted code review. OP is arguing that one day we won't need to read code at all, which I disagree with.

Maybe, it seems like a bad idea for so many reasons though. Take away tactile code review, insert a layer of prompts and tooling between developers and the codebase, and you've created the conditions to let all kinds of nefarious thing

What I have observed through my limited experience, primarily testing docker-based development env setups in podman, is that it's usually not a straight swap.

A "push" towards a boring stack? That won't happen because the hype cycle trends towards new tools like water down a river. But if you're looking, I can't recommend Rails enough in 2026. Built on web standards, it&#

Maybe, it's certainly a possibility. I'm skeptical only because of the sheer amount of spending that Anthropic/OpenAI etc. are committed to. A soft deflation only makes sense to me if they start making a more profit-driven mo

OpenAI did confidentially file their S-1, which costs a ton of money to put together for the bankers and regulators to review. They did test the market and it looks like either the banks or people directly around Altman told him not to move
