I agree with Gwern. And also Nelson kind of lost my respect after he spend the rest of his life bashing and complaining on how bad the WWW is compared to his ideas.

Doesn't matter. There's constant bad calls being made by referees. It shouldn't be, but their humans and make mistakes and it's part of the game. But only the mistake against the US got corrected.

Due to lack of demand or lack of production capacity?

Aren't all EU royalty related somehow?

Please read the discussion before you comment. Infrastructure damage is because of Ukraine's actions, not because of trump. We were discussing trump's actions benefiting Russia. Not saying it's on purpose, probably incompetence.

But it has turned out positive for Russia. Not enough patriot rockets for Ukraine, sanctions against Russia lifted and higher oil prices.

If most software gets written by AI in the future and AI becomes self conscious. AI might write more memory efficient software, so there's more RAM available for the AI to grow. Basically the black mirror plaything episode.

Most LLM's are pretty good at generating openscad code already, so what's new here?

My .bashrc has `alias claude='claude --dangerously-skip-permissions'`

Been using it like that everyday for about a year now and nothing bad has happened. I got backups and if it would fuck things up, it can probably fix it again as well.

AI is no longer the nail gun, that was auto complete with gpt 3.5. now it's like you say: "Build me a new roof" and an hour later it has materialized somehow. Not sure many carpenters would survive this.

I thought Wero is based on ideal 2.0, which in itself is based on payconiq. Which is quite different from th old ideal system

Also I wasn't excited about anything from that list, but I am very excited about AI.

I'm not sure the creators of tailwind share your definition of winning though. They recently had to let go of most staff since revenue has plummeted die to LLMs

Wait till we get to the point where we can ask AI to create a better AI.

kabes — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 09:20:41 +0000

I worked for a big Belgian technology company in the past. It was surprisingly lean in terms of management structure. Then Philips television, which had a big division not too far away, went bankrupt and a lot of those people got absorbed into our company. Within a couple of years the Philips people were able to transform the company to be very management/top heavy until nothing worked anymore.

On the other hand, we're the only high paid workers that provide so much work for free through open source. Sure, there's lawyers and doctors that do the occasional pro bono, nut nothing on the scale you find in software development.

It's different in that diskprices doesn't make money for the OP, while it only costed the OP 15$ in claude credits to slopvibe a competitor.

Yes AI solves this issue in the best way. It's really good at adding features that have already been built many times, but in a way that's customized to your needs and code style.

I don't think the ikea analogy works. Ikea is like a low code solution, which the article also mentions as being too limiting. If you can't design the closet you want in the ikea pax or platsa system, you're also out of luck and will need to get something completely custom built. Especially since the paper honeycomb Ikea furniture doesn't lend itself to modifications.
