Q1 - How much effort did you put into deterministic guardrails like AST linters, etc? I find there’s a ton of slop unless hard guardrails are added, eg step 1 is just around syntax, step 2 is to enforce mental models You still need someone

NIH should build more institutes in cheaper areas (eg not NoVa). It’s a win win since it will help revitalize poorer areas of America and save on costs. It will also tilt more senators/congresspeople to vote for NIH funding, similar to

LFP batteries are the future for home energy storage. Less fire risk, cheaper. They're heavier, but that's totally fine for a stationary application. Does GM have any competency in this area?

I think so many of these issues can be solved by going on road diets and dedicating an entire car lane to bikes. Use the carrot and the stick to incentivize a healthier mode of transportation.

I think you’re conflating the UI of Amazon with the more difficult problem of getting a large distributed system to work at scale. Conversely, if your ECU has minor glitches, will you notice? Unless it results in catastrophic failure, you w

The local HK government has no power, it is controlled by the CCP. So at least in this case, I can buy the argument. An American analogy of your argument would be something like “but >3.5% of LA wanted policy XYZ, why didn’t it work”

Americans love to come up with complicate theories about why it’s impossible for them to lose weight. Go to Europe or East Asia and you’ll see it’s definitely possible and definitely influenced by diet (as in what you eat). The reasons peop
