>Are we talking about the "flying night missions" bit - which is a historical fact (for example, here's an AA battery in Leningrad at night: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anti_aircraft_Lening...) - or the "supply an encircled city with millions of inhabitants via a 30 mile boat trip across a lake straight into enemy territory" bit?

Man those goal posts move quick. The germans didn't try to shoot at small mobile targets on the ground/sea (i.e. not another airplane that has a giant sky behind it it stands in contrast from, because I'm pretty sure that's the next place these goal posts are moving) from the air at night. They didn't have the tech or the training fleshed out to make that effective, especially when the siege of Leningrad was taking place. End of story. There might be an exception or two but it generally wasn't done.
People voted for fewer drug deaths, and it looks as though the looming tariffs have stirred a drug-death-preventing response, which has paused the tariffs[0]. It seems as though people are getting what they voted for so far?

> That hardly looks regressive.

I know you're making a good faith argument, but you're twisting the definition of regressive. For example, if a country has one citizen with an income of 1 trillion, and one hundred thousand citizens with an income of $10,000 each, the trillionaire would still pay over 99% of taxes even if taxes were proportional.

The point is that with severe income inequality, it is fair that the super rich pay a very, very high proportion of taxes. The 40.4% seems high for the "top 1%" of the population, but if you replace "top 1%" with their actual average income, the comparison is less misleading.
Look, deleting the inside of () parens in a function call makes total sense by instructing your editor to "delete inside parenthesis", or in vim:

di(

Yet, millions of programmers use their mouse to SELECT first something visually and THEN delete whatever was selected. Shrug.

I won't be surprised if chat-based programming will be the next way of doing stuff.
What makes email more useful in general is that each email is a separate object that you can organize in any way you want, i.e. move, copy, rename, sort into folders, attach as a file to any calendar entry, todo item, etc., or indeed to any other email. You can forward them to any other recipient, you can add and remove any recipient to and from the conversation at any time. It is conceptually powerful and flexible in a similar way that files in a file system are a powerful and flexible way to organize data. And it is easy to understand.

While all of these features could in principle be realized in a chat system as well, in practice they don’t provide that flexibility and power.

Another usability feature of emails is that they have a subject line. This allows to meaningfully list emails in a compact fashion. In a desktop interface, you can easily view and visually grep 50 emails or more at once in a mail folder or list of search results (in something like Outlook or Thunderbird or Mutt). This allows working with emails more efficiently than with a chat view where you can only see a few messages at once, and only of the same thread or channel.

Yet another usability feature of emails is that each email has its own read/unread status. This, again, is facilitated by each email being its own separate data object, and by the separation between subject and body, which allows the read status to be unambiguously bound to “opening” the email, or to navigating in the list of emails alongside a preview pane. And you can mark any email as unread again. In chats, the granularity of read/unread is the whole chat, whether you’ve actually read all of it or not. You can’t easily track what you’ve read or not in an automated way as with email, other than by that coarse-grained linear time-based property of when you last visited the channel.

The field being relatively new also heavily influenced the scientists being so young.

The age of modern quantum mechanics started in 1925. Heisenberg received the Nobel Prize for his 1927 work on the uncertainty principle in 1932 at the age of 31. 10 years later the Manhattan Project started.

There just weren’t that many older scientists with training in the field. Young PhDs were only a few years removed from the first discoveries that enabled nuclear physics to leap forward.
Advanced knowledge of the inner workings of governmental oversight, government funding, and the ability to understand what they are doing is illegal and dangerous.... Enough to know that whatever they have been promised is not worth the unintended consequences of their actions.
I think it will take several months to know if that's the case, since we don't know (or choose to ignore) the ramifications for the economy as a whole.
Generally we are more concerned when people die at 40 than at 80. The latter is considered "normal". There are a few ways that the epidemiologists try to quantify this notion — DALYs or QALYs.

Obesity rates have been increasing globally for decades.

There is no example of a country that has reduced obesity through public policy, food policy (even in the EU with strong GMO regulations), or messaging.

From a government level a different approach is necessary. So far GLP-1 inhibitors are the only things that have worked at scale. Let's see if that holds up.

Well his first startup capital would be from his parents that own diamond (blood, not synthetic) mines in South Africa. That's how he and his brother started Zip2. That got bought out and left Musk with an extra $22 million. He then started x.com which, by all accounts of people who worked there, was a total failure. In all ways but one: they were the first federally insured online bank. That's why Confinity (which owned PayPal) bought x.com (and then killed it. Because they only wanted the legal benefits not the product itself). That's when Musk truly became rich

But you're right that government contracts are the way you truly get rich. A lot of people don't realize California's biggest export is airplanes and airplane parts (a business run on gov't contracts) not Silicon Valley. All of Musk's ventures (Tesla, SpaceX, Boring, solar, etc) rely on heavy subsidization/contracts with gov'ts. All of his ventures are some of the most heavily subsidized companies in the US[0] and he's been sued in several countries over subsidy fraud

It’s bad to fix a problem if the solution has side effects. I mean that’s the pragmatic, health-based answer to whether it is good or bad.

If these don’t have adverse effects then it is not bad. What “bad” we are left with is character-moralizing.

We could go further. “It is bad to fix your obesity by removing yourself from bad food.” Because this does not involve self-control either. If you isolate yourself from grocery stores and only have access to certain foods you can lose weight without self-control.
a major difference you are not considering is that bitcoin fees are fixed and don't change based on the value of the transaction.

Right now they are at around 0.15$. That's too much IMO to go buy a 1$ coffee with bitcoin, but it would also be 0.15$ if you were buying a 2000$ macbook, a 60000$ car or a 2M$ house.

Take a close look at who is creating two sides. Perhaps there is more nuance to the points being made by the people who do not seem to be pro DOGE.
Portland tried that in 2020 by decriminalizing drug possession.

I really like the concept, but I don't understand why you guys are building an entire video conferencing platform. That sounds like years of work building the network and millions of VC funds.

There should be a smart way of merging all the chat messages into a streamlined story of the development on the fly. Perhaps something an AI could do. We could call it contextAI.
I don't think Daniel's point is that Chat is generically a clunky UI and therefore Cursor cannot possibly exist. I think he's saying that to fully specify what a given computer program should do, you have to provide all kinds of details, and human language is too compressed and too sloppy to always include those details. For example, you might say "make a logon screen" but there are an infinite number of ways this could be done and until you answer a lot of questions you may not get what you want.

If you asked me two or three years ago I would have strongly agreed with this theory. I used to point out that every line of code was a decision made by a programmer and that programming languages were just better ways to convey all those decisions than human language because they eliminated ambiguity and were much terser.

I changed my mind when I saw how LLMs work. They tend to fill in the ambiguity with good defaults that are somewhere between "how everybody does it" and "how a reasonably bright junior programmer would do it".

So you say "give me a log on screen" and you get something pretty normal with Username and Password and a decent UI and some decent color choices and it works fine.

If you wanted to provide more details, you could tell it to use the background color #f9f9f9, but a part of what surprised my and caused me to change my mind on this matter was that you could also leave that out and you wouldn't get an error; you wouldn't get white text on white background; you would get a decent color that might be #f9f9f9 or might be #a1a1a1 but you saved a lot of time by not thinking about that level of detail and you got a good result.

Similar thing I've run into lately, chat is horrible for tracking issues and tasks. When people try to use it that way, it becomes absolute chaos after awhile.
Sure, but if you are holding out for something that will be militarily relevant forever, you're going to be waiting a long time :)

I also think the concerns about the the ability of large ships to defend themselves in modern combat are a bit overblown. Just because there exists a weapon system that can defeat something, doesn't mean that thing is irrelevant. You'll see all these comparisons of the cost of a surface combatant with the cost of an anti-ship missile or drone as though that decides the matter. But it really doesn't. It costs a ton of money to train and equip and infantry soldier, and yet you can kill that solider with a bullet that costs pennies. Does that mean infantry have been obsolete for the last few centuries? Of course not! A system is not obsolete until something comes along that can perform that same role, but better.
Nope. There's lots of information both on this page and throughout the internet.

You can't reform an institution that's filled with your political opponents when they aim to sabotage you. Many federal employees worked to sabotage Trump in his first term, and how that he has such a strong mandate from the voters he's going after the people who sabotaged him so that the country doesn't destroy itself in a debt spiral.
Most stories about Musk are flagged regardless of the topic. He might be using bots, he's certainly petty enough to do so.

It's interesting we view Email and Chat so differently. Some companies run on chat (e.g. Slack), while most companies run on email.

Emails are so similar to Chat, except we're used to writing in long-form, and we're not expecting sub-minute replies.

Maybe emails are going to be the new chat?

I've been experimenting with "email-like" interfaces (that encourage you to write more / specify more), take longer to get back to you, and go out to LLMs. I think this works well for tools like Deep Research where you expect them to take minutes to hours.
You're trying to chastise the wrong post in the thread.
I agree that minute differences don't really matter. E.g., 0.09% vs 0.07%; who cares. Differences as large as 0.5% are much more material in the long term, though.
How do you know the exact figure of fentanyl smuggled into the US from CAN?

I doubt even the cartels could give you an exact figure as they aren't the only ones smuggling the drugs or the precursors.

Are you saying we only intercepted 19kg? How wouldn't that make sense to you considering the disparity of population density at the borders, as well as the infrastructure and staffing at each border??

Canada already Tariffs many products coming from the USA, many even exceeding 200%. The political theater and kindergarten understanding of geo-politics would explain your take on "100 years of friendship flushed down the toilet" lol.

> As tariffs are a much more difficult form of taxation for a payer to track (they're not getting a bill the way they do on income/real estate taxes, it's being hidden in the cost of the good)

Oh no, it's very easy. When I sell my product, I will be including the exact amount the buyer is paying above what is normal due to tariffs. The tariffs are very well expressed on the purchase price of the parts that go into the product, so it's very easy for me to add up the tariffs and tell the buyer how much more trump is demanding they pay for the product.
This has been the thesis behind our product since the beginning (~3 years), before a lot of the current hype took hold. I'm excited to see it gain more recognition.

Chat is single threaded and ephemeral. Documents are versioned, multi-threaded, and a source of truth. Although chat is not appropriate as the source of truth, it's very effective for single-threaded discussions about documents. This is how people use requirements documents today. Each comment on a doc is a localized chat. It's an excellent interface when targeted.
Oh, how nice it must be to complain about Slack. Try using Teams and you will never want to complain about Slack again.

Going to college is about being able to convince some entity with money to give you some of that money in exchange for your labor so then you can exchange that money to support your addiction to food, clothes and shelter.

It is perfectly reasonable to spend four years of life and tens of thousands of dollar and expect to learn something you can use to get a job.
I agree with your sentiments on an open platform ultimately prevailing. The hardware is still not there yet for good AR glasses (IMO). The processing power, connectivity, power, displays, etc.... just can't be crammed into an almost invisible pair of glasses. You basically need to squeeze the equivalent of the latest apple watch into a form factor about the size of a stick of gum (cut in half length wise)....

This dude leading the lawsuit is incredibly unreliable. The ATC biographical assessment didn't have any race-based questions - it was just a decision making questionnaire: https://123atc.com/biographical-assessment

It was a questionable assessment, but the idea that he failed it for being white is peak self-victimization.

The risk of DEI was fast-passing under-qualified candidates, or that they were misplacing their recruitment efforts. But the idea that they would not be filling necessary positions with qualified white people continues to be something of a polemic myth.

If far superior AI CEOs existed then only one board would need to replace their CEO with AI. The company would then dominate the marketplace because of the far superior decisions being made, and the rest would be forced to follow.

If AI CEOs were slightly inferior to human CEOs, but cost $1 per year, it still wouldn't be worth replacing an expensive human CEO, unless that CEO's compensation was worth more than a few percent of revenue (it never is).

I wouldn't want to invest my money in a company which was making worse decisions to try to save money on the CEO, when the money paid to the CEO is going to have very little effect on my return on investment. That sounds like a good way to for my investment to underperform. The only winner in that scenario is online forum posters who want to feel jealous of the abstract concept of a "CEO".
