I've been reading a lot about Reagan recently, watched a few of his debates. Politics has always been dirty, and I wouldn't say going backwards you get like gradually more serious, but I really miss the time when our Presidents g

The thing I'm getting out of this Zuckerberg letter is that we've basically learned nothing. It's a nakedly partisan letter designed to signal to Republicans that he's not taking sides. Which I guess is fine, but I&#x2

> it sure shouldn't cost less to do it yourself. This is an interesting point and something I often wonder about. I think there's a number of different reasons for it, obviously markup and the need to make a profit, but one th

I went to Costco yesterday and bought three cases of milk and four cases of soda, and it all fit into the back of my Honda civic hatchback! Doesn’t this prove that 18 wheelers are useless once and for all. But really, I’ve never met an eng

Hard to see how this doesn’t throw the election to Trump. Most of Kamala’s supporters left RFK when she announced and with them basically tied in the polls, it’s looking like a Trump landslide. I suspect we’ll look back and apply the old

I wonder if this election will determine if Elon keeps X. If Trump wins then the political influence is worth it, if Trump loses than it was for not, though Mark Cuban just said that Musk’s Twitter influence is greater outside the country

I don’t understand your question, like start a company with a scope that would normally take 500 people? Or have a company with 500 people, and try to grow only through LLM’s and not hire anyone else. Also I don’t understand what this thou

There are still people alive today making good money writing COBOL. There are still professional blacksmiths alive today. I don’t always think the free market solves everything, but in this case specifically I think it will. When there’s

I don’t think so. If an LLM is sufficient to write your code, then your code probably wasn’t unique enough to contribute to the shared knowledge anyways. You could make the same argument about coding frameworks, “If everyone uses react ra

This article seems to be heavy on speculation and light on facts. After cutting 75% of the workforce, X doesn’t _need_ to make as much money.

Whether it’s Twitter censoring the Hunter Biden Laptop story, or Politico censoring this story, the media should not be determining what to censor and what not to censor. Release the documents and let the voters decide.

If Trump’s rule in the 2010’s is an example of extreme left politics, we’re in trouble.

Wait, Bezos like Jeff Bezos?former owner of Amazon Jeff Bezos? Since when has Jeff Bezos been left wing? His political contribution history is mostly to Republicans.

> X is a platform without censorship or any boosting of particular political views unlike traditional MSM and left leaning platforms like Google, Meta, YC even. Hmmm, I haven’t seen this supported by the data, in fact Elon Musk has said

Well actually, the data shows that Twitter has always amplified right wing views, they’re just more honest about it now. https://www.newsweek.com/twitter-reveals-algorithm-amplified...

Are these quotes taken out of context or total lies? The first seems a bit sketch, the second seems like it should be illegal.

I mean, I’m not personally in the market for a free speech social network, the more moderation the better, but for those who want an anything goes social network not subject to the ideological whims of the owner, with strict first amendment

One of the things that I think that underlies a lot of these analysis is that the difference between liberals and conservatives is not skin deep. I think the graph he includes that show that most non-conservative media are slightly liberal
