I love when the Foo Fighters block that punt.
This a fiat incentive problem, and I believe Bitcoin fixes this.
I think most Elon hate is because he’s the best at working the current system and has enviously amassed astronomical wealth.
Yes, he has bad ideas, most entrepreneurs do. But, he is tenacious AF and figured out how to attract investment. Acquiring government money is a skill he’s obviously mastered.
That said, electric cars were a joke before Tesla, which he has led to great success. Rockets were ridiculously expensive and one time use, now they are launching 3 rockets a week. Reaching orbit is more affordable than ever . Ever watched a space nerd interview him? Dude knows his shit. He’s definitely not a fake.
It’s too bad access to the money printer is a requirement to succeed in car, space, and other large scale markets.
Imagine if providing value was the best way to succeed, and advancing society was the primary goal. Instead of them being eclipsed by political posturing and showmanship.
What a waste of time for everyone.
I read this yesterday

Love the opening line.
No spaces after if and for makes my eye twitch. I do like the paren-space and space-paren pairings though. Makes calling functions in conditionals more readable. Hmm, but using both those formats would leave a parenthesis by itself. Ugh.
What’s the idea? They sell a bunch and then do what?

My understanding is that Jack Dorsey had the idea but didn’t know how to do it, as in, had no experience with the Bluetooth stack.
I think he used https://github.com/block/goose and it produced something that worked. And, without knowing how it worked, he pushed to the App Store.
Pretty cool way to get from 0 to 1. To quote, nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc, the minimum vibeable product.
So, on a scale of completely human to blindly AI’d, my impression was that it was nearly completely blind.
And I wondered, ok it worked but how well? And accordingly to nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg it seems most of the code has be rewritten. Though AI assistance still played a role. And to be fair, all software projects evolve.
My experience vibe coding has been frustrating. A solution can be generated quickly and seems correct but has usually been proven incorrect in edge cases or worse. I probably need more practice.
It’s replaced Google for me, and low value questions are a no brainer, like how to install gdb on SLES15, command line flags, or what’s the difference between grey and gray. But, I’ve yet to produce good code with it, beyond copy and paste-able blurbs.
Thank you for attending my TED talk.
lol, fostering.
I often hear things that I “knew” but never saw put in words.
Incentivizing value now over stealing from the future is a good example.
Thanks for the crystallization.
I really enjoy going to my kid’s guitar lessons.
Just curious, I recall it originally being completely vibe-coded, what percent has been rewritten?
Completely unrelated … I gather you’re a lawyer. And, I realize asking this a bit of a shot in that dark, as there are many specialities in law, but do you know if there is a chance the US govt never reopens?
Ok, and after, your stack provides financial latitude to do things of your choice? Since you choose them, they are more productive, like learning a thing you are interested in?
purgatory?
I’m curious who gave the lesson to whom.
