But Iran let the International Maritime Org that anyone who is not US/Israel or not attacking or supporting attacks on them can pass through the strait of Hormuz. Is the $ 2M still a thing?

We had more and more outages on EVERYTHING since AI. Not sure what they're doing.

If I had that much wealth I would be starting gigantic libraries like Carnegie once did.

My Tahoe issue was that when I shared screen with zoom I used to have some weird bug where the screenshare had issues. It was fixed in the last 2 updates. Either a tahoe issue or a zoom issue but you'd think that they'd have a beta program to fix such issues in the testing phase.

It just did. The patent expired on March 20 in India.

There are 10+ firms vying ro bring a generic glp1 anywhere the patent has expired. How effective these generics will be is yet to be seen.

This might cause a lot of problems because some people are taking glp1 for "my wedding is in 1 month and I gotta reduce 10kg by then"

In Brasil the patent also expired on March 20, and already there are a dozen of generics that have already applied to get approval, but none got it so far.

So Novo Nordisk itself droped the price a LOT in the last weeks, and even after the price drop you can get the first month free at a lower dosage when starting with a higher one.. Like if you got the 5ml prescripted to you would they send firs month of the 2.5ml for free..

Even the propspect of having generics in the market is already making the price drop..

In India they (novodisk and other patent holders) have ruled out price reduction.

But I suppose they also have to reduce price some or the other day.

In India a few glp1 drugs are launching tomorrow. So I think they already got approval

But you have to buy into it right? If you don't have a limit then what did your contract look like?

I signed up last year when the limits were a lot more generous.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that cursor also has a free tier!

That's the cognitive dissonance

How can two things be the same:

Iur AI will replace every SWE in the next 5yrs

Our tooling is bad

We need to buy a company that brought a revolution in python tooling

If LLMs and GTP5 codex is soo good then how isn't all tooling related to OpenAI ebinf written by it?

Same goes for Claude. They say Claude writes Claude... Why isn't Claude Code then writtten by Claude in such a way that it has a platform specific optimized binary rather than an Electron app.

It's almost as if they're generating hype for their sales/valuation

Because they need tooling in the next few months and not in 5 years.

Ofc its hype-based, when they say Claude writes Claude they mean Claude types most code, but the product decisions are made by people.

AI atm is not good without proper steering and most importantly AI doesn't decide what to build.

I'd wager astral team won't end up typing as much code for Codex, but they sure will architect and design the way people will interact through codex with a lot of dev tools in the ecosystem. That's what I would pay for in their shoes, access to their vision and already proven track record to design good tools.

> AI atm is not good without proper steering and most importantly AI doesn't decide what to build.

Yes that's my point. Altman and Anthropic pretend that everyone will be jobless and AI is God. They say their AI writes a new version of AI

But this proves that even they don't use their own product because beyond the hype, it's simply not there yet.

Yes just like "Whatsapp is joining Facebook but it'll always be free and independent"!!

Democracies also have an independent media that can name, shame and investigate.

In autocracies (outright or electoral), the media is used to bash only those who oppose the supreme leader.

That's why when projects are late under opposition its "corruption" or "policy paralysis"

But when the same happens under the party that's ruling via electoral autocracy, it's a "delayed gift"

VSCode has advanced editor functionalities that not many use. But devs using that functionality aren't replacing devs not using it. Although they also save hours of manual work thanks to multi line cursors

Thing is, AI is being shoved top-down on devs because it's a goal for everyone, without checking if it's actually helping or hindering.

What I am seeing is juniors are blindly trusting AI output and say in a few years, it's going to be a disaster because nobody understands anything except seniors

25 years ago, a recently hired junior accountant would just run a cost accounting report and hand it off as if it were golden. Those of us who knew the system(s) would check the results and often provide some interpretation or even hold a report back so as not to mislead.

Plus ça change…

  > What I am seeing is juniors are blindly trusting AI output and say in a few years, it's going to be a disaster because nobody understands anything except seniors

I see exactly the same in teams of senior and staff engs, and I promise you - they are not going to understand anything either.

Ouch. If seniors and staffs do this then the company is doomed.
