I listened to an Ezra Klein podcast episode where he talked about this.

I’m paraphrasing heavily but it went something like, “a friend complained that he had to live in Florida 50% of the year to avoid paying New York taxes and he hates Florida. I thought that the point of having all of that money was living the lifestyle you wanted. It seemed like the tax avoidance had become more important than personal happiness.”

I’m no Musk fan but I found it cool and try to balance my negativity towards the person with what I’m seeing.

Plenty of ways to maim/kill people in traditional cars already and I doubt this will be the most common one in roadsters.

I don’t think the mentality, “people would do it anyways,” is convincing. Just like we don’t put Playboy in Grocery store checkout there’s a reason some advertising isn’t front and center.

I had the pleasure of working with Kartik at Rec Room. He’s a great guy and an excellent dev. I let him know he’s been mentioned in this thread and the article :)

TBH it was informative for me because I've got family who applied for data center jobs. But I'll admit that you captured it all in your blurb. The article has a lot of fluff.

I don't like recurring fees so I paid the Lifetime price.

I DO NOT find it worth it but I LOVE Moshi. However, given that its lifetime, it's hard to say if it will one day be worth it. If my usage of AI on my phone picks up it could easily be worth it.

I do find the experience much better than Terminus.

What I'd recommend is paying once for a month and then deciding if the year or lifetime is worth it for you :)

Not only that, but you really want it to be a skill. The book _Making Software_ describes skills as things you can get better at through practice, and talents as things you're born with.

I'd like to think the time and practice I've put into software engineering has made me better at it. If that's not true, then there's no reason to prefer senior or principal engineers with years of experience over newcomers.

I've been using this the past few months after trying a few terminal apps for iOS. This is by far the best I've used so I wanted to share :)

New comment by tyleo in "Pentagon rescinds new testosterone screening policy without explanation"

tyleo — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 14:03:15 +0000

I think we're saying the same thing. I suspect there were a lot of people saying, "this probably won't work," but the Secretary of Defense pursued it anyways until real problems materialized.

tyleo — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 13:24:37 +0000

I don’t know much about this except that I know perfectly normal or even jacked men with lower than expected testosterone. I suspect messing with hormones based on the results of a test and no actual problems can unnecessarily alter mood.

So my theory—based mostly on conjecture—is that these tests selected people they didn’t expect and the treatments would do more harm than good.

I'd ask what outcome we are trying to achieve.

New comment by tyleo in "AI-written code is still your code"

tyleo — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:41:04 +0000

I keep getting downvoted for saying this but I still review all of my AI generated code. I feel like I’m sufficiently sped up.

Of course you can go faster if you don’t read the code at all, that’s always been true. But it seems like the ability to emit large quantities of text is already a huge leap in productivity. I don’t think these tools are good enough yet to offload all or our thinking into them.

New comment by tyleo in "No AI Fridays"

tyleo — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 14:27:14 +0000

I find it interesting when people say, “I need time away from the AI to think.” I use AI for development but I would not say I’ve offloaded my thinking to AI. AI is great for pushing text but I haven’t found its system design skills to be that good.

To me the design has always felt like the thinking though.

That does not sound like rack and forget. Just looking at prices it’s also way more expensive.

Lots of people use the Mac Mini to run the frontier models over night or while traveling. I have a rack in my basement and have thought about throwing one in. You can get a cheaper machine but Apple feels a little more, “rack and forget,” if you have less price sensitivity.

Mac Mini + MacBook Neo w/ ssh can be a better setup than MacBook Pro for many people.

tyleo — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 19:41:16 +0000

I almost feel like there's some sort of paid campaign going on in Hacker News promoting the Chinese/open models. I feel like every day I'm hearing about how the frontier labs are dead but your experience is the same as mine. My company pays for Claude AND Codex but we never really use the open models for anything critical.

New comment by tyleo in "US debt has hit $40tn - Will that be a wake-up call?"

tyleo — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 14:26:49 +0000

Democrats tend to get railed for it even though Republican presidents raise the debt more. It gives the impression that only Democrats are trying to fix it and Republicans give it more lip service but often make it worse.
