Even before AI, there was a serious hiring problem in the United States. Companies seem hell bent on not hiring full time employees at a livable wage. I don't blame the technology, but I do blame the greed of business owners and inve

And yet all sorts of people are advocating for using Chinese LLMs because they are less expensive. It seems like a very risky move to save a few dollars.

It kind of makes sense because gasoline taxes help fund road projects. Of course, if you live in a state like Pennsylvania, there's not much evidence of real improvements to the pothole infested roads.

It comes from watching Linked In and talking to people in real life. Again, I don't think it's AI eating the jobs. I think it's greed that's eating jobs.

I disagree - at least for the near future. If companies stop outsourcing to poorer countries, they'll be hit now. If so many Americans lose their jobs that nobody has money to buy anything, that will affect poorer countries too. It&

Conventional wisdom always used to be that China would never compete with the US because they were rote learners and we were more creative. I'd say that is no longer the case. China has been doing a LOT of interesting things. I joke

I've used Kagi for a couple of years now. I decided I didn't want to be the product anymore, and try to pay for the tools I really use.

He wasn't really getting rid of stuff though. He was moving it to "cold storage" so the primary storage was clear. When he needed a rarely used thing again, he could get it out of cold storage.

Doubtful. Despite your articulate counter-argument, I am unconvinced of your viewpoint.

When I was growing up, I remember some drama because East German and Soviet male athletes were trying to compete as women. If male to female trans athletes were allowed to compete, I imagine it would just be a matter of time before a femal

This is interesting. It seems like it may only be applicable to brand new projects though. Could you envision it working for large, existing applications that wouldn't have specs for the existing code?

Businesses should definitely support the open source projects that they use. I'm still astounded that professional developers seem so adverse to paying for the tools and libraries that they use to make their own money.

Cause what this country needs is to automate away even the gig economy jobs that are out there. Let's keep making a few people rich and screw all the normal people out there.

I don't really need AI in my browser. I do like spaces in Arc, and how it handles cleaning up my tabs. The color coding of the sidebar for the various profiles is the one feature I haven't been able to find in things like Orion,

I also hated that they were trying to make it a free tool, which would mean selling user data to make money, and would require growth at all costs. These days, I'm trying to migrate to paid tools. I would much rather work with a slowe

I love the Arc Browser, but they discontinued development on that. I honestly have no interest in Dia at this point. AI is already available in any of the tools that I would want it in, and I don't think I would want any one company

I don't think this is true of all companies. My current company doesn't base bonuses on individual contributions, and even went so far as to reduce the number of "story points" that top contributors did in sprints so th

Not sure if this is an option where you are, but I became a "stringer" for my local newspaper for a while. Writing tightly, under deadline, with an editor reviewing my work helped improve my clarity quite a bit.

It would be cool if they could put some of this technology into commercial grade dehumidifiers even before they get put into HVAC systems. If you could run a super efficient portable dehumidifier and boost the performance of your HVAC syst

Would love one - but I was recently burned by an expensive Android e-ink tablet with janky software and meh hardware. I need to be able to touch and play with one before I'd even consider buying it. I hope you make it into retail sto

The other cool thing about the original article is you can find other student projects there - some of which are quite fun.
