All in the name of “immigrants are root cause problems”

The average person really has one choice “red” or “blue” and there isn’t much reason other than my group votes a certain way so I vote that way.

Trump came to power because he tapped into people’s anger.

I don’t see a world where this gets better. Social media and news propagates fear and hatred like wildfire. Algos massively boost up anything that improves engagement. Engagement improves adclicks.

So we may actually end up destroying the empire for a bunch of adclicks.

Most openly corrupt president of our time.

Great piece but sometimes I wonder how much is human thought vs AI fluff.

Second not having a ton of extensions. Extensions can do fishy things.

This is Chrome’s broken model. Before installing an extension, one should be able to see all the domains an extension talks to.

The domains should be listed in manifest. But that’s not how it works.

In Android, every app you open needs a gazillion default permissions.

Their fax machine doesn’t always work. No way to email.

One must go through snail mail and it takes months to get an EIN.

If it’s voted or commented on, it bubbles up and gets sorted by a deterministic algo.

I think flagging is abused in HN as a form of censorship.

So SpaceX will be listed and soon on the index. He learned how getting into S&P500 index was a rocket ship for Tesla. So he bent the rules for SpaceX.

So when the market crashes. It’s gonna be fast because of a couple of tech companies.

Let’s see if OpenAI has enough clout and billions to bribe SEC to bend rules for them.

Every year US becomes more of a Banana republic.

I really hope the best AIs that actually solve critical problems come from companies who are open source scrutiny friendly.

Altman, Hassabis, Musk, Dario, Picchai, or the leaders. A concentrated AI power in any of their hands is absolutely corrupting.

AI only works if the know how is diffused and competing on even playing fields.

Good to know how crappy Grok is and GPT falling behind Anthropic. Meta almost given up on Llama.

So more money isn’t yielding better models. That’s a good sign.

US falling behind China. There’s a good possibility trillions allocated in datacenter buildout was misallocation of capital by markets.

So Oil barons getting rich, at the expense of everyone else.

“Make America Feel Poor Again”

Iran knows what’s on the other side once they have nukes. No one touches them.

Google gives no fucks other than printing more billions every quarter.

I’m dealing with IRS right now to get an EIN for an LLC. They won’t give an EIN over online form. Must be faxed or physically mailed.

They say 3-5 days. Been weeks. I pay $5/week to hold onto a fax number.

So Trump spending hundreds of billions on blowing up kids’ schools in Iran and cutting funding from IRS.

Why does it take weeks to start a business in 2026 and get a bank account.

Just absurd.

He’s been an inspiration for me, his demos got me into coding.

Trump made a very strategic error that he can’t easily get out of.

US borrowing trillions in debt to fund other people’s wars. This level of stupidity is Bush in Afhanistan.

They don’t treat their employees well. Now with all the AI slop, it seems they don’t know what good software is.

Yeah if you have option to move away from Atlassian, you should do so.

Modern tools like Claude code have the ability to craft and bring dreams to reality.

Atlassian is old school. Their rich CEOs no longer care about good software. They are rent extractors.
