One thing I learned right away in college was that alcohol effects different people very differently.

Guess what category of drug reduces the intake of large amounts of sugar?

Don't let it outside the sandbox. Don't let it have access to anything but dev environments. Continue using git.

Never had any issues.

I often wonder whether this doesn't continue indefinitely.

Uber was able to do this because it was just them and Lyft playing second fiddle, with a huge barrier to entry once the network effects had kicked in.

It just seems like the model space has way too many competitors, + OSS/Local options for them to ever be able to jack up their prices. At least once the datacenter bottleneck has been cleared.

Just because it's been done before for a different use-case doesn't mean that building exclusively for this use-case doesn't remove friction.

There are many obvious ways in which this may not be true.

Anyone learning the language and some people with learning disabilities, for example, may communicate better via an LLM.

You're welcome to move somewhere with no taxes. I hear those places are all very pleasant.

That's what happens when there's a need for something.

You see an explosion in offerings, and then eventually it's whittled down to a handful of survivors.

I just don't think ancient artifacts are comparable to an old TV.

Well, and once this kills the web then Google's AI no longer has a data source its AI can tap to answer questions about anything that happens afterward, so it kind of needs the web to at least limp along.

Yes, but are they on Instagram though?

That doesn't seem like much of a plan given their trailing position in the cloud space and the fact that Microsoft and AWS both have their own offerings.

I wonder if they're pulling the wall-mart model. Ruthlessly cut costs and sell at-or-below costs until your competitors go out of business, then ratchet up the prices once you have market dominance.

Half of builders went out of business in 2008 and 1/3 left the trades.

We only just recently reached the level of new home starts we were hitting pre great-recession.

We have a decade's worth of supply deficit and in most locale's aren't doing much to overcome this.

Malibu, CA is very expensive to live in as well.
