That's been my workflow also. Claude Code / OpenAI Codex most of the time, when I have to edit files Cursor's auto-complete is totally worth the $20.

There will still be advertisers if you move to a more serious relationship stage, just different products.

I came here to say the same thing... he's eloquently stating something, and kinda makes sense, but I bet we have actual real data around this. It's a fun mental exercise but if you REALLY want to know, there should be good sources.

Heck, ChatGPT should be able to answer that.

The solution is to hide deep into the Terms of Service "Duplicate numbers may occur. You reserve the right to be sued if you complain."

Maybe the plural of "is" is "are" :)

But why double the character instead of picking another one... plenty of other non-alphanumeric characters to chose from.

It would like exactly how it is today. It's not hard to find someone not charging anything for the same piece of content, or not charging anything for another type of content that fills the same void.

I disagree because the apps are designed to be addictive, so the conversation might actually be more important, the person might agree and say the conversation is more important, but they can't control themselves. It's hard to muster the willpower to fight "social" media.

Maybe one day we will all be using https://shakespearelang.com/

Oh since when Codex cli is now included as part of a ChatGPT plan? 99% sure that wasn't the case before. Time to try to use it for real.

I don't think there's a credit card company that can't (or won't) do this. Or even debit cards for the matter. Or any app that has location enabled.

Plus insurance + registration

Most software projects don't even do A/B tests. A lot of them don't need, it's just what someone wants to ship. Another set can't even get to the sample size required.

But fine, let's take the subset of features / projects that can be tested or somehow validated. In my experience (having worked for 13+ years on companies that prefer to A/B almost everything), more than half of the tests fail. People initially might think the solution is to have better ideas, cook them more, do better analysis. That's usually wrong. I've seen PHDs with 20+ years of experience in a given industry (Search) launch experiments and they still fail.

The solution is to have some sort of "just enough" analysis like user studies, intuition, and business needs, and launch as fast and as many as you can. Therefore, development speed is A bottleneck (there's no Silver Bullet so it's not THE bottleneck).

Triple modular redundancy. I remember reading that's how Nasa space shuttles calculate things because a processor / memory might have been affected by space radiation https://llis.nasa.gov/lesson/18803

I agree with you but there are levels of purchase. This article explains it well https://a16z.com/ai-x-commerce/

Let's say even if I always buy "Deodorant X", I might instruct my agent every month to go out and buy it from the cheapest place. So I wouldn't do it for "any chairs" but the usual purchase from a certain brand, I can see myself automating this. In fact, I have because I use Subscribe & Save from Amazon, but sometimes things are cheaper on the brand's website or some other marketplace.

No board seat or governance rights. What's the government getting out of this? Trump brags of a good deal? Might profit in the future? Or _actually_ although technically there's no governance, government might actually influence how Intel is run?

Besides politics and image, are there any benefits?

You don't add to your calendar but you probably got a confirmation email. Or you may have used an app that could expose this data to the operating system. OR, you called, and the phone app transcribed and summarized the call.

Same for the wallet... if you have your credit card / banking app installed it could expose this.

But yeah, none _needs_ any of that, for different degrees of fun and life optimization.

It's a lot of (good) actual engineering or solid programming tips, and yeah it's not "vibing". There's no embrace the exponential or just pasting errors.

I think most people should try to really "vibe" in the original sense. Use SuperWhisper and don't even read the diff. It's a different experience. I am not saying ship critical code like this... but if your main use of LLM AI tools is to basically type code faster than you (which is totally fine and it's what I do at work), that's not really vibing.

I thought by adding the bit about "navigating the complexities" it would prevent comment like yours. You're blaming the victim here.

"it is YOUR FAULT for not reading the fine print"... yeah I know. I am stupid regular guy who would rather NOT have to understand the fine print and have things just work better like the rest of the developed world.

A few months ago I had a persistent irritation on my right eye, as if some dust was stuck there. Worried about it, I went to Urgent care and got billed $3400 (dollars) for antibiotics, WHICH WERE WRONG, an actual ophthalmologist said I had it scratched and just had to apply some drops. $250 for the ophthalmologist and about $50 for the drops.

This week I am in Brazil for vacation, and my mother-in-law had a lot of back pain. We went to a private "urgent care" (or equivalent here), and it was R$ 200 for the visit, R$ 300 for the X-rays, and R$ 80 for the medicine. That's about $100 dollars. And the only reason why we went to private is because the public hospital wait was about 3 hours, otherwise it would have been free (yeah I know taxes).

And I have good health insurance in the US, but navigating co-pays vs. deductibles vs. in network vs. this particular person isn't on network (like the anesthetist for my wife's C-Section which we only learned about when we were already there at the hospital for the surgery) and just overall everything is so freaking expensive... The system is broken, and no amount of startup trying to shave off 5% of some random administrative cost using AI will save it.

They know it's a lie but still need to say it.

I used to have a manager that gave me this line. He left this company to join another one, had multiple offers, and told me he accepted the highest one because "it's all about the money".

They know, we know, everybody knows, but that's not the playbook.

“We need bigger companies so smaller ones have a chance” is a weird take.

"interest free" deserves quotes. It appears to be so because the installments have the same value but in reality it's priced in the overall length vs price.

The installment culture is so pervasive in Brazil a lot of places don't even bother to show the full price (a vista). And some of them refuse to give a discount if you want to pay the full price now. Not because it doesn't make economic sense, but it's simply not an option a regular employee in major retail stores is even allowed to do, as companies default marketing and systems to installment payments.

So you like "only" for 9 months of the year?

I am not up to date to your first 2 statements, but my impression after reading the article is that it’s saying it was alright for Mamdani to say he’s African American.

There's a lot of business happening on WhatsApp. I don't think Google cares that much about the messages I sent to my family (although it helps with profiling and ad targetting) but I bet the real money is understanding what people are buying and how they do commerce in WhatsApp.

Screen reader?

There's a better term for what a MVP should be. MVP implies a minimum set of features you _have_ to develop otherwise users won't touch. The problem is agreeing what this minimum is... in startups that's easier because you have to launch, in big companies the MVP what 13 stakeholders want it to be.

I like Minimum Learning Product, or MLP - what's the minimum you need to launch to start learning? To do user surveys, analytics, get feedback on? You might not even have enough users to really run an A/B test yet, but it captures better the idea of launching small and iterating, anchoring it in listening to your users.

Yes, if wealth is also what they want, and they believe the crumbs trickling down will be big enough.

I was ready to downvote you giving examples how +$100m net worth individuals are probably the hardest workers (or were, to get there) just like most of the people replying to you, but your `and a family you love` tripped me. I sorta agree... if you want be maximize time with family and you have FU$, would you really really work that hard?

I am not saying exactly they don't love their family... but it's not necessarily a priority over glory, more money, or being competitive. And if the relationship is healthy and built on solid foundations usually the partner knows what they're getting into and accept the other person (children on the other hand had no choice).

It's a weird take to tie this up with team morale, tough.

You wouldn't download an ~employee~ resource
