It went like this:

We need a team of very good sw developers.

Maybe we can have 20% of the team be cheap "developers", people that have no inclination towards sw development to do the boring stuff.

Maybe 20% of real developers is enough in a team. The rest will learn from them.

Let's have 100% cheap developers, the project only needs changes.

We can get even cheaper developers, come to us with no prior experience and in 3 months we will teach you what you need to know.

Our projects are delayed due to covid.

Oh no, the Chinese!

I guess, on the long economic chain, somebody has to get the dollars in the first place. So they have to sell to US something, maybe not at the best price. In the world economy this acts as a constant pressure to sell to US. Not a problem if the world economy shrinks. If it expands, somebody, somehow need to get the extra dollars from US.

ai says [^] is not portable; I did not test it. Too bad, I'll stick to [\s\S].

Not sure if adding it would be the best. Maybe a different project that reuses parts of this one, build specifically for that purpose.

I had a good laugh, I can't sing. Stuck on Get ready. Was there something that was supposed to happen after that? Anyway, play/pause button is too high up, I was looking for it at the bottom of the screen. I like the UI.

Can it be used to watch series? I mean, does it track what was already played? I've read the description but it seems that this is a totally different beast.

I switched back to Sonnet. It replies faster so I work faster. Also cheaper. But I really like the speed. I have to be more specific with what I want. Also I stop it more often than Opus. These new models will be awesome, but they need to increase the speed.

they have a graph with cost comparison between the models. This model is just a little over the other models as cost. The graph is logarithmic :)

I noticed too, that whatever they offer in the chat, for free, is smarter, as in no more bs. I use claude code and I want to try codex too but I don't need two subscriptions. I did try codex for some planning and it was really good. Thanks for giving me an insight into how it generates code.

maybe the moat is that we slowly start to forget how to code by hand and then you -need- the AI tool.

They are not using design. They vibe code the feature.

Unforseen side effect: I used AI to write so much code that now I struggle to have a good mental map of it, so I became lazy without having an intention to do so. Fun times!

Also when you finally make it better, the others make theirs even better and you are still behind.

In reality things are much more mundane. You build a custom blog framework, it can be used for good or bad. You build a better app framework, it can be used for good or bad. There's nothing you can build that will not be used by bad people. Canned food and radar came from war. Depending on which side you were, it was used to do good or to do bad. Technology is just that, technology. People are still under the marketing spell of US companies that invited engineers to "change the world". People assumed in a good way. In reality you just change the world, as the other people see fit.

hard disagree. No matter what gets built, it will be used for bad things if the society is not properly constructed. We need to fix our government and then you can build anything you want. I don't like putting the blame on the builders, building is already difficult as it is. Also you can't built something in isolation, word will get out anyway. That's why this speech is either naive or he just wanted to tick a todo list: say something about AI.

My understanding was that they did that to curb the demand somehow. Normally you would just buy more compute but that is not an option they have.

New comment by GoToRO in "Tesla Solar Roof is on life support as it pivot to panels"

GoToRO — Sun, 17 May 2026 11:42:30 +0000

The problem with solar roofs is that it combines a changing technology, PV solar, to something that does not change, roofs. So now every time the new technology advances you need to pay for the new PV cells and the same roof tiles again. Solar roof will work once the PV tech settles down. From 20% eficiency to 100% it's a long way to go.
