Many wouldn't, but some people share his values, and given the compensation, it makes saying "no" much harder. Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it does make them extremely easier to live.

I stopped reading once Evans emphasized consumer product. That was never a good strategy to sell SaaS, and I don't see how that changes.

X has only brand recognition right now, and an extremely toxic one.

Big customers may buy but won't give them logos, people who are offended by Musk's worldview won't pay them either. You don't do well with a toxic brand: just look at Ye having to buy full page apologies ads to try and sell a record.

X?

Don't they have the biggest budget and largest GPU farm?

Also grok-4.1-fast was one of the top models for a long time, especially in real world usage.

Why is it a good thing? Manufacturing jobs are horrible, ask anyone who had one.

The US built a high margins service economy.

This is two steps backwards, no step forwards sort of a deal.

This is why we have troubles. This is so delusional in many ways. You can’t be high margin without building at least something . You can’t be a successful country full of lawyers and doctors only. You have to actually build something

> You can’t be a successful country full of lawyers and doctors only. You have to actually build something

The GDP sector composition of most of the largest economies is heavily service biased. So, no.

Gambia has 70% of service economy. Do you want USA live like Gambia ? With your logic money grows on the trees. Services inside of the country does not produce anything. US doctors able to buy Mercedes cars from Germany because this country still exports windows and iPhones.

> Gambia has 70% of service economy. Do you want USA live like Gambia ?

What are you even talking about.

Iraq economy is almost 60% industrial, are they doing better than Ireland? Of course not.

Also, the US is the second largest country by motor vehicle production in the world. And the US GDP is 80% service derived.

Every statement in the above comment is wrong:

People born in the 90s wouldn’t have a chance to be old enough to belong to any group other than a preschool before the collapse of the Soviet and Soviet aligned regimes.

For those who were adults before 1990, while they may have been party members for reasons unrelated to political ideology, it wasn’t as common: in the late 80s, only ~10% of adults in Warsaw pact countries were communist party members. Far from “everyone”.

And even if you check that in the DS-160 visa application form, you are allowed to add an explanation. Consular visa officers are very well familiar with the political situation at the countries they are stationed in, and can grant visa even if the box is checked.

macOS is a certified UNIX[0], but iOS isn’t.

otoh: the non regulated should cost more.

It’s kinda like “qualified investors” - you want to make sure people who are wiling to do something extremely stupid can afford it and acknowledge their stupidity.

We don’t need regulation to protect those that can afford to buy protection: we need it for those who can’t.

Only if it has negative externalities.

By default, Claude code keeps session history (as jsonl files in ~/.claude).

It’s wasteful not to save and learn from those.

And multiple years from the boardroom making a decision to build a data center to breaking ground.

"much better isolation than containers"

If you've got an exploit for docker / linux containers, please share it with the class.

What I'm saying is that in practice, containers and VMs have both been quite secure.

Also, you can configure docker to run microvms too https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-container...

We want to protect against the unknown, not the known. The less surface area, the better, and containers have much wider surface area than VMs. Both had their faults, of course.
