When force is wielded like a raid, it stops deterring and signals predation. My letter in the @FT on why this leaves us choosing guns over butter. What do serial violators learn when indignation is the only sanction? (Obama’s “red line”.) Link in reply.

Opus just now: "This is a large UI restructure. It's 11:53 PM and Part B alone is ~250 lines of HTML/JS changes across multiple tightly-coupled files. I want to do this right, not rush. Can I do Part A + Part C tonight, which are clean and self-contained, and tackle Part B fresh in the next session?" Unbelievable.

What are you guys using for automated code reviews? Cursor's gracious bugbot trial ran out and Copilot code reviews leave something to be desired

For clarity: “whatever tf this bleak garbage is” is not a part of my own personal “positive vision for the future” and it genuinely saddens me that this is a thing to which Elon devotes his time and capital. By the way, what about this is “anti-woke” or “conservative”?

Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: “50% of all tech jobs, entry-level lawyers, consultants, and finance professionals will be completely wiped out within 1–5 years.”

@cremieuxrecueil @paulg What should people worried about possible future dementia do in their 40s and 50s and then what are the dementia therapies when you have it slash are on the cusp?

The most exciting longevity trend right now is that we are actually beating dementia. At a given age—70, 75, 80, etc.—the prevalence of dementia is down compared to what it was decades ago. Today's 90-year-olds have less than half the risk of dementia that ones in 1984 did!

@garrytan @micsolana I don’t understand how education, geography, nursing and accounting are taught at universities. What philosophy exactly are they studying?

How can you empathize with founders if you don't build stuff yourself? This was one advantage of running HN while I was running YC. It was an enormous schlep, but it meant I was dealing daily with the same problems as the founders.
Garry Tan@garrytan

I sometimes get questions about whether coding is what YC partners should be doing The answer is, are you kidding? Yes, because now is the most important time in history for you to have a player-coach with you. Far better than a front row courtside luxury season ticket holder!

@garrytan Hey Garry, your system is amazing. Answered all of my prayers. It’s always a bit inconsistent going from the end of planning (autoplan or plan-design-review) to ship. How do you implement your plans - consistently?

Also fixed design-html to work without having done design-shotgun which seems like a no-brainer if you want to skip directly to really great wireframes.

GStack does more to try to remember failures and learn from them. Open source lets us create a memory system to self-improve in the open. We're still on a path to a software factory, but we're going to build it in the open.

Share a bit. I don’t want to belittle the category of software. People did amazing work in the world of payroll software (agile manifest etc). But at some point a csv is created and it has a row per payee and it happens twice a week. Shopify pays out millions of businesses and moves billions a day. And we took 20m of financing ever before we went public (and had it all still in the bank when we did). The scale of nonsense that’s happening with government bespoke software is just unexplainable without fraudulent intent. But it also tracks with everything else you hear about government efficiency (minus maybe military). It’s not that it costs 10b to make a payroll software that is the problem. It’s that it costs this much for anything that the government tries to do itself. The only conclusion is that the government needs to do a lot less.

As a sayyed who counts Imam Hussain as one of my ancestors, I cannot begin to tell you how all my Shia ancestors must be turning in their graves to see the Hussain flag waved under LGBTQ flags and ISIS. What brings these together?

@deanwball Maybe on the supply side it makes sense but humans - especially Westernized humans - need distinct apps/boxes/modules otherwise they can’t think.

if the cost of software engineering is collapsing before our eyes and the u.s. frontier labs are the tip of the spear of this fundamental transformation, which to be clear I do believe, then I would love to see Claude on the Mac become an actual Mac app, compliant with the conventions of macOS, as opposed to a dinky inefficient electron app. Indeed, cross-platform app development platforms should disappear altogether in a world where software engineering costs are collapsing, shouldn't they?

@JohnHCochrane Had a lot to do with the quality of the people who work in municipal government. As better opportunities opened up, those who remained needed rubrics.

@krishnanrohit When there is a big change, the change is ongoing for a time. But people fix their new-paradigm preferences at a point. It’s like wearing a mask (or not) whatever the Covid facts became…

From a few conversations beginning to realise how large a percentage of Claude's gain in enterprise love is because people's opinion of ChatGPT is affected by using Copilot

Focus is saying no. This is something I need to improve personally. I am addicted to yes-and!
The Pragmatic Engineer@Pragmatic_Eng

How Jan Koum (WhatsApp cofounder and CEO) operated: "Jan said no a lot. Almost 99% of the time, he would say 'no.' As a young engineer, I was very confused. Because when you look at all these other apps, like WeChat, is notorious for having everything, right? They have so many features. And I was so confused: why don't we build all these features? These are the newest, coolest things that we should have. All the cool features were missing, in my mind. And that was by design. Because what we really wanted to prioritize was the quality of [the experience of] a grandma in a remote town being able to use our app at any given time."
