Oh god, the whole world become a boring mess of sameness, won't it. What a world we have created as the tech industry. Absolutely dumb as rocks we are.

This is actually a great characterization and one of the reasons why for example YC has not had a success in the last 10 years. This has caused tech to look more and more like a ponzi scheme with greater and greater promises and yet the act

None of those reports are any good though. Maybe for shallow research, but I haven't found them deep. Can you share what kind of research you have been trying there where it has done a great job of actual deep research.

If you are at Faang and feeling imposter syndrome, maybe you just need to get better at things. I actually rejected multiple offers from Faang back in the day because they were so mediocre.

And that's why they should be broken up too and their app stores should be completely open so that any apps can be installed. I want an America where competition thrives again.

Yeah, unfortunately, they have to jump on the AI bandwagon because they are forced to by other editors, providing free AI, but they simply do not have the skills to integrate the AI properly. It's a shame, and unfortunately removing ne

Yeah Jetbrains is going down a very similar path to Borland.

The classic disruption of a startup. This is actually a good thing. This allows new startups to come into the market.

Just wait for the sniffling Marc Andreeson to tell you how it's just time to build now and it's all smooth sailing and blue skies.

I think this is a common gameplay from companies which are basically reaching their peak of what they will be able to do, but they have to keep growing somehow. Duolingo is basically a dying company if you think about it, like the growth is

Tesla is one of the scammiest companies in existence. I have developed a deep hatred of them over time. They are a classic example of why tech is hated. Tech could have been this absolutely beautiful thing for the world, and instead it beca

Yup in my private evals I have repeatedly found that DeepSeek has the best models for everything and yet in a lot of these public ones it always seems like someone else is on the top. I don't know why.

And this point everybody will open source their models or weights. The only one which will not is open AI.

I think what Finland did is the right take because these are devices which kids do not need. They can call their parents if required from the main office. This is fantastic and once again shows why Finland is a pioneer in childhood educatio

Lmao why are they doing LlamaCon, a convention with a subpar product?

I agree. The fact that India is so behind China while not being a free country is just horrible. Add to that massive amounts of pollution. People cannot breathe and no clean water.

Rails is unmatched. I wish there was just a similar framework in a faster language.

To me, Deepseek is the pinnacle of llms currently with Gemini coming in second. I'm also convinced the Chinese will crack AGI. Brute force will not get us there and Asian cultures will win this one.

I would reconsider using Elysia. I was also very excited by it and I thought it would be great but it has got errors and issues with different library versions and things like that. Also the whole Eden thing doesn't work for me for wha

I've seen only the JavaScript community where people make thousands of different libraries. This goes to show that how shallow each of these libraries are. In other languages like C++ or Rust, usually people maintain a few libraries at

Not very good. The type safety thing doesn't work well when you are using it across different folders.

Bill gates is the only remaining hacker one can look upto. Yes he was ruthless but also the amount of work he did for humanity was orders of magnitude more than others. The current crop of rich folks are really the wrong uns and come from a

I stopped using Amazon around 2015. I don't want to buy goods from AliExpress with extra steps so I just directly buy from there. And if I need something urgently I go to a local store.

> Google’s actual UI & UX design is terrible Absolutely. I have long mentioned that Google got lucky that the initial search was a textbox on a white screen and nothing else. If they had tried to do a portal or something like Yahoo!

I think because there is not as much training material on those, the output usually is not very good. And those who are interested in learning haskell or rust usually have more passion. Therefore, from both sides of the problem, it's a

Yeah, this makes me feel so sad because as somebody who's been a programmer for about 15 years now, there is definitely an advantage that we have because we actually know how to code. I feel really sad for those who are starting out to

Can you share what you learnt from it? I found it a bit woo woo but would love to change my opinion / reread it.

What I am saying is that these "incentives" are what books like these do not mention. Hotmail is also interesting because they had two of these: the free email clickable link and a strategic partnership with Four11. This book is a
