This peeing on subway debate is absurd, but also depressing and frustrating. Public disorder and homelessness are huge problems in the U.S. that are especially striking when you spend any time overseas and see what an aberration it is. We are the world's richest country, and

Each frontier AI model seems to use a little under a year's worth of a square mile of farmland's water to train. I think about this as the country having 4 square miles of farmland sectioned off to grow some of the most popular consumer products in history.

My favourite LEGO designer detail: to reduce manufacturing complexity, LEGO limits amount of new pieces that an employee can make. To enforce this policy, LEGO has an internal currency called “frames” that designers have to spend for new pieces or colors. Since “frames” are a

Caleb Hammer explains why rent control doesn’t work “It’s one of those policies that sounds really good and really moral. You want to support it, landlords make less money and people pay less rent. But everywhere it’s been enacted, permitting has dropped significantly, and rents

Deleting code is the best kind of engineering. Period. Simplicity > Lines of code. While the whole world of vibe coders brags about pushing tens of thousands of LOC a day, I'm actually happier when my codebase shrinks every now and then, usually when I spot repeating patterns

The funniest thing about LLMs is that they let you generate endless work in domains where you’re completely unqualified to evaluate the output.

something to remember about twitter is that there's a kind of reverse survivorship bias happening where you're always going to see the most dysfunctional people's takes and you're never going to see takes from people who just arent compelled to fight on the internet

AI was supposed to give us our time back. More walks. More hobbies. More dinners with people we love. Instead we're vibe-coding apps that don't matter. Doing 3x the work in the same hours and calling it productivity. We got the tool. We missed the point.

Video games get unnecessary hate. I realize I’m a small minority on the RW adjacent side because I’ve always been pro video games but for good reason. Gamers have immaculate taste in the arts. Scrolling your phone is infinitely worse than playing a video game. I’ll never

Seriously Microsoft stop doing this crap. "Confirm" or "Set later". Why isn't there a no? Can't you respect my choice? Why can't you respect me as a user? I'm sick of being treated as an ad channel. I paid for your product.

The biggest problem with losing a high tenure person is that you lose someone willing to really fight for stuff, especially owned outside of their team (like comp philosophy). New people will be orders of magnitude more docile on that stuff. That’s why leaders who optimize for

I hate AI when it's like this: Notion used to have a one-click way to turn text into a quote. They removed this and now I have... AI So instead of sub-500ms, it now takes 10+ seconds to turn selected text into a quote (type out the prompt, then wait ~4 seconds) So backwards...
