dnnddidiej··on Microsoft pulls plug on plans for 244-acre data center in Caledonia (2025)
2 seems good as the seller can still make money from the land in the meantime. It does make it unsellable to anyone else in that time though.
dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: Is $300/HR too low these days for custom full stack?
300/h I will quit my job now lol!
dnnddidiej··on Jira Is Turing-Complete
But can it?
dnnddidiej··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
These one dimensional brush offs of a complex system are a bit tiring. Doesn't sound like genuine curiousity. It is almost like political rhetoric.

Yes the job market exists.

dnnddidiej··on I spent 50 hours drawing a line graph
Username checks out

Companies also struggle to hire. It is a skills matching issue.

But a jobs worth of GDP was lost due to the lost consumption. Harder to measure for 1 person but imagine 100k people suddenly left a city. That would be felt somewhere. Dry cleaners, cafe, supermarkets etc.

This might be less true if there is resource starvation but we have transport and imports and exports. You can accomodate more people and feed them.

But then they gave up a tax paying job and thus the net effect is zero.

Looking holistically the person leaving the US (or lets say 100 people to make it easier to see the point) means 1 to 30 less startups and so maybe an entire company or more not being started. That is less revenue for US.

What most people from the "they steal our jobs" mentality (not saying that is you, but this a seperate point) don't get is productive people create jobs by being a customer of many businesses.

dnnddidiej··on Time to talk about my writerdeck
A good test of your focus on writing is if you can use a boring tool like Substack, Wordpress, Blogger or Github pages (vanilla out of the box ssg setup) and just write.

That said this one did write something. But I'd say for anyone else writr 10000+ words on whatever before a single word on your setup.

dnnddidiej··on Sleep research led to a new sleep apnea drug
Why is that?
dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: What's New in Crypto?
Follow up: are we getting more efficient? Are the more energy efficient chains taking off?
dnnddidiej··on Is AI Profitable Yet?
SaaS or web in general was disrupting X making it eventually the leader with some moat. I am not so sure about AI. I feel like there is a rush to make a commodity that will be nebulous to extract value from. Except for TMSC and NVidia.
dnnddidiej··on Is AI Profitable Yet?
Did someone say shovels?
dnnddidiej··on The case against boolean logic
probability isn't the own non-boolean. analog circuits and fuzzy logic. quantum (ok yeah probabilities!), neural nets. also taking the questions angle - open ended questions.
dnnddidiej··on A case against Boolean logic
Intuitionist logic seemed to me like a superset of regular logic. Like a generalization that gives you more choice. Like having an 8x8 board for anything instead of always playing chess. Seems like a good idea.
dnnddidiej··on Who wins and who loses in prediction markets? Evidence from Polymarket
That makes you a profitable bettor, so your accounts will get restricted. Best way to make money is if you have better predictions then bet on markets like totalisers, betfair etc. not with casinos or bookmakers.

500 pts is no laggard either.
dnnddidiej··on The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics
Probably for strategic reasons.

Mainland China is one concern.

Another is AI being the commodity compliment to semiconductors.

dnnddidiej··on Why does it look like LLMs consistently overestimate implementation time?
You ask LLMs for estimates? Interesting.

Probably big model providers should do calibratuons for that and add an estimation skill.

Made me think maybe they can rig up the blog SMS to blog and go low tech while still writing well!
dnnddidiej··on Was my $48K GPU server worth it?
That is like saying my new restaurant was a success, therefore powering it with a generator was better than connecting it to the grid.

The raw infra being local didn't enable any of that. Now if was building ASICs at TMSC that would a different thing because you'd then be using something different locally.

dnnddidiej··on Flipper One – we need your help
Scope creep only can happen after you decide what you want though.
dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: Shouldn't Google need to give a public statement about Railway incident?
Does Google have any customer big enough for it to give a fuck about?
dnnddidiej··on Not alive, but not dead: disembodied human brains used for drug testing
Can't the donor stipulate take anything but the brain?
dnnddidiej··on Meta blocks human rights accounts from reaching audiences in Arabia and the UAE
Does propaganda just mean opinion now?
dnnddidiej··on Meta blocks human rights accounts from reaching audiences in Saudi Arabia, UAE
Saudi Arabia is a city in UAE?
dnnddidiej··on I’ve built a virtual museum with nearly every operating system you can think of
Bet he wishes his surname was Bastard. Rich Bastard.
dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: What are you working on (non-AI)?
I am vibe coding an app for personal use (todo app). Once happy with UX I intend to write much of it the old way. But I want to figure out what I am building first. I feel like it is like using Excel before building the real thing.
