Love the story. I feel like I also rolled the dice more than others. Somehow, I haven’t ever hit. Well, that’s not true, my career has been good to me. Maybe that’s why, but my crazy ideas never seem to work or I give up too early.
I wrote about a bunch of my hits and failures a few years back.
These articles remind me so much of those old internet debates about "teleportation" and consciousness.
Your physical form is destructively read into data, sent via radio signal, and reconstructed on the other end. Is it still you? Did you teleport, or did you die in the fancy paper shredder/fax machine?
If vibe code is never fully reviewed and edited, then it's not "alive" and effectively zombie code?
Not clear why this is hitting HN today, but these are popular enough in Chicago to be kind of a cliche. No matter how convincing the poster is, I think you'll be disappointed if you plan a trip to visit scenic Galewood.
> The technical debt so deep and so normalized that the team has stopped seeing it as debt at all. It's just "how the system works." The chains have become comfortable. You are about to add more.
That was a Times of Israel reporter Emanuel Fabian [1] but your point stands.
Prediction markets create incentives to predict the outcome of an event, which can be done in one of three ways: develop better models to predict the event, affect the event, or affect the reporting on the event.
Can you point to where they have said so? The only one that comes to mind is Thiel's quote from 2009 about democracy being incompatible worth freedom (the populace will vote to remove freedoms, e.g. try to ban AI or other technological advances and whatnot). But pointing out flaws in democracy is a far cry from actual wanting to get rid of democracy.
If he's stated an actual intent to end democracy in the US, it'd be good to cite that.
Forget pumping. He set free a high profile white collar criminal, who in return deposited 2 billion real dollars into Trump shitcoin exchange. And NO ONE bat the eye, not a single congressman or regulator body. Check and balances, my ass. More like cheeks and obeisances.
Install ECA. Read my comment in the same thread. Once you hook up elisp evaluating MCP to your Emacs - it is game over for anything else. Nothing even comes close to the experience. I've been functioning in ADD mode - Annoyance-Driven-Development. I'd get annoyed by some small issue, and without missing a beat, I'd start typing. Well, sometimes I don't even type anymore - I'd just speak and let Whisper transcribe it and Emacs performs some crazy shit. It's not even funny how crazy it is.
ASN.1 and its on the wire format BER and DER have been available for close to 30+ years and it is running on billions of devices(cryptography, SSL, etc) and other critical infrastructures.
but, it is very boring stable, which means I can't tell the world about my wartime stories and write a blog about it.
It's also a bit overblown. If you could rig a war, you would stand to make a lot more money playing the stock market than small potatoes prediction markets. A lot of money has been on the line based on which party wins elections even before prediction markets existed (see fracking or pipeline project approval as obvious examples).
[repost] Nonsense. There's no evidence whatsoever that Iran were planning to attack neighbouring countries nor is it in their interest. This is all Israel-fabricated bullshit which goes back about four decades.
Repost because of the clear strategic downvoting of my other comment.
