Yeah, I intentionally referenced the Laffer curve. Essentially I think folks use it to only argue for less taxes, but I think it applies both ways.

I mean, when I googled supply-side economics it said it was another name for trickle-down economics. I'm interested in how you'd say they differ, honestly, not trying to be argumentative. I found at least found one analysis (by a

Yep, I disabled it and moved to Claude.local.md anything that seemed worth keeping. Automemory kept so much random cruft and had grown bigger than my Claude.md.

It's strange to say it might be biased. Bias is absolutely impossible to avoid, especially with how today's "AI" works. You might be able to avoid it with a panel of AI, similar to how we try to avoid it by using panels

I have a fear that my CPAP machine will die one day while I'm away from home, such as vacation overseas or during a business trip. I literally no longer can sleep without it, I have anatomical sleep apnea (perfectly fit), but it'

I would disagree that it's a sweet spot for execs. Essentially no one should be working 60 hours a week, the human mind needs breaks to unconsciously work on problems. I would posit unless someone is doing pure labor, anything involvin

I don't think it's meant to browbeat you, that feels a rather uncharitable read of what is essentially just the author saying connect with the people in your life because they'd love to hear from you and likely need someone t

Yeah, IBM is nothing like Google, it's a weird comparison.

I'm kind of astonished that you think this, there are lots of studies about intergenerational economic mobility in the USA compared to other places. https://www.chicagofed.org/research/content-areas/mobility&#

Not really, in my experience you still have to be good at solving problems to use it effectively. Claude (and other AI) can help folks find a "fix", but a lot of times it's a band-aid if the user doesn't understand how

Yes, exactly. I have exercised daily (either weight training or cardio) for nearly 20 years. I've also had anxiety and depression for that entire stretch of time. Exercise was how I stayed mildly sane for a good majority of those yea

Exactly this. I don't do it much in the USA to be honest, but when traveling.

Yeah, they acquired the company I worked at and left us alone for a year or two. Each year would get worse though, and each year we swapped nearly all bureaucratic things around. Always a different way to do performance reviews goals, etc

The thing is, the people on those "algorithm-free" forums still get manipulated by the algorithm in the rest of their life. So it seeps into everything.

It’s always frustrating to see the implication that people just need to exercise to solve their mental health struggles. It might not be your intention, but it's a take I see a lot online from influencers. I say this as someone who is

I think the reality is likely more nuanced than 'all good' or 'all bad.' While the side effects you linked are real risks that should be taken seriously, claiming these drugs are 'by no means safe,' cause &#x27

Yes, that image is so funny, because it really is the difference between me being able to make a meal for myself vs needing something immediate. It also helped do wonders for my anxiety, which I previously treated with sertaline. I'm n

I tried to get Kickstarter to take down an obvious scam a while back. Best I could do was post on Reddit to warn folks though. Checked on it recently, so many comments of folks asking for shipping details / anything. Hundreds of thou

I love that you're thinking this is what USA insurance companies are denying, not simple diagnostics / medications that save lives.

by diob 11mo ago
That analysis is flawed because it misses the systemic nature of the risk. The Out-of-Pocket Max is an annual liability, not a one-time fix. A single serious illness, like cancer, spans multiple plan years. A $9,200 OOPM hitting three years

Does such a thing exist these days? If so I can't find it. More importantly, it doesn't solve the real problem. You're still subject to the same system. Fighting for prior authorizations, staying in-network, and navigating

A lot of folks are looking at the higher US comp but aren't correctly pricing in the long-term risk. You can be fine for years, but a single, major medical event can zero out those salary gains and lead directly to bankruptcy. It'

I think they're just as maintainable as any other legacy app you might encounter. As in, it can be hard. But it's doable. And it depends on the team that made it (AI + the human).

Interesting, I have yet to feel like AI automates everything. When I need something to work that hasn't been done before, I absolutely have to craft most of the solution myself, with some minor prompts for more boilerplate things. I se

Nah, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Fundamental attribution error and all that. Plus, the 'Boots Theory' is a reality for a lot of people. Ultimately, society only works on a foundation of trust. We trust that our fo

Yes! One of the lessons I learned with this, which is if you're charging it you're supposed to supervise it or charge it somewhere "safe".

I actually had a battery for a drill meltdown on me earlier this year. If I hadn't been home (and it hadn't been on my stone counter when it happened), I probably wouldn't have a home.

Funny enough I find LLMs useful for fixing the "death of a program" issue. I was consulting on a project built offshore where all the knowledge / context was gone, and it basically allowed me to have an AI version of the pre
