<p>Wow. Imagine how much time would be saved with the new immersive view  and 3D building modeling that wasn't available when he started in 2004.<p>Of course, saving time was clearly not the point of the project. It's awesome.</p>

<p>Several economics Nobels and EU leaders have voiced concern about the impact stagnation will have. It's not a made up issue, there's a ton of discourse around it.<p>Also, I'm an American democrat raised in Spain and I have no idea what Fox would have to say.</p>

<p>In general, I'd say it's always wise to follow individual <i>people</i> whose knowledge and expertise you know and trust rather than browse a platform. HN is one of the few exceptions I make, because I'm very likely to find quality people/content that I just wouldn't have otherwise. So yeah, blogs are great if you choose wisely.<p>Btw this was the cool thing about blogrolls -- if I trust someone's opinion, I'll likely trust the people they trust. You can replace "trust" with "be interested in".</p>

<p>It's not going to make sense for every company to <i>release</i> an MCP server. If you count use/integration in their internal workflows and agentic dev as adoption, it's probably near 100%.</p>

<p>Isn't most of the pessimistic discourse around the EU related to trends (and thus projections), though?<p>GDP growth is stagnant compared to peers. If that trend continues or intensifies, don't you think it will impact the other moment-in-time stats?</p>

<p>The two large projects I've worked as a consultant were structured in milestones.<p>The first client had a structure they'd used previously that I just inherited -- I believe it was agreed amount / 4, each paid for delivering 1) full spec, 2) wireframes/ux, 3) MVP and QA, 4) Beta that addressed major issues identified from 3. After each stage I did the presentation and invoiced.<p>I borrowed their same structure for the next gig. It worked well in both projects.<p>However, it was very clear going in that both of these companies were going to pay me.</p>

<p>I'm writing this from CT.

<p>I've listened to several of his antichrist talks and remain confused by his stance. He's imprecise and rambles, but IMO it boils down to one of a few options:<p>1) These are actual good faith views that are inspired by his own piety<p>2) This is some chess game he thinks he's playing in which he erects the world government/ totalitarian state as signals of the antichrist, with Thunberg and other "woke" leaders as candidates, because they pose a risk to his business interests. "Peace and safety" is a guise and a front, but conveniently, are just bad for Palantir.<p>3) He is too disconnected for too long and has disappeared up his own ass<p>For anyone considering investigating, I wouldn't advise it. He's given huge liberties by interviewers to give vague non-answers and is never (rarely) pressed about reconciling his actions as an investor with his alleged concern for humanity.</p>

<p>Maybe add a category for posts and comments about AI on HN :)<p>"Stories about AI" is not offensive to me. Its influence on the industry is undeniable and if I'm feeling tired of that content I just won't engage with it.<p>AI-writing is another story, but yeah -- HN is downstream of that problem. You can encourage people not to submit articles that seem to be LLM authored, but it won't work.</p>

<p>Find one thing you want to explore or research/visualize and go very deep with it... with Claude Code, it's just a tool after all.

<p>There is clearly a need to codify into all of these historical acts that they can't be invoked unless there is a declaration of war (or some other appropriate prerequisite).<p>This administration consistently exploits what were designed to be emergency powers because no such requirement exists.
